Good news for Canadians that love ELF, ELF (eyes lips face) is now being sold at a Zellers near you in Canada. That means you can avoid getting charged the pesky shipping charges that come with ordering anything from the United States.
If you aren’t familiar with ELF, they are a makeup company that sell beauty products such as makeup brushes, plumping lip glaze, all over cover sticks, waterproof mascara, nail polish, brightening eye colour, eyelash curlers, mineral makeup and the list goes on. Basically everything for your Eyes Lips and Face. Their studio line is actually pretty good, I have seen a lot of gurus on youtube rave about the makeup brushes in this line and that is actually what I am interested in getting. I have their old brushes, the ones with the white handles and a lot of those are pretty bad and scratchy so I don’t recommend those, however the eyeshadow brush and eye blending brush is really good and I use it frequently.
You get what you pay for, these products are mostly $1, but the studio line and the mineral line can be more, around $3 a piece. These are not comparable to MAC or other high end brands obviously, but I do find some of the products to be pretty good. I used their eyelash curler for years, and their eyeshadow compacts are really good quality, you can buy them empty or with shadows and they fit lots of brands of eyehshadow pans, including MAC. Also in their studio line, there is a bronzing powder which a lot of people on youtube have compared to NARS Laguna and Orgasm.
I am not sure what exact products they are selling at Zellers since this just started and I haven’t been myself. However, judging from what I’ve seen at Winners I think it would be the sets (like in the picture) where you get a variety of items, hopefully the price will be reflected in these sets too.
If you do go and see the display, please post here about what you find!
Hmmm.…wonder if the prices will be jacked up vs the US price, so instead of a $1 eyeshadow, it’s probably going to be like $3.
Even with US release at Target, elf only offers sets, no single products (except some brushes). I assume Canada would be the same situation. Some people spotted elf sets for CAD13 (USD10 in the US), so yep, there is a bit of price difference for sure
I don’t think I’d find Elf makeup comparble to Orgasm. LMAO!
“Also in their studio line, there is a bronzing powder which a lot of people on youtube have compared to NARS Laguna and Orgasm”
Sally, Orgasm is a blush from NARS.
I think it’s just sets like the ones offered at Winners.
I really like their Studio line though, I would prefer that!
I know I was just being silly
You can finds ELF at Winners too– they sell the sets for $5.99-$9.99 FYI
I’m pretty sure it will be just the sets though I would prefer to buy them individually because I dont need everything that comes in a set…
i need a face brush! just a kabhuki sp?
i didn’t like any of the elf stuff i tried (nail polish, lip gloss…) except the mineral eye shadow. it wasn’t too bad, not a lot of pigment really, but the shade i got is pretty good.
sampler10, they sell a fablous Kabukhi brush at Sally Beauty Supply made by Femme Couture. I am so very in love with it, and you can get it in the mineral sampler set as well for 20.00, or seperate (or even sometimes as a freebie when buying another makeup product by Femme Couture.)
They also have select sets @ Winners!
Some of the select sets are being sold at Giant Tiger as well.
I was just at two Winners stores. The first one was absolutely awful! None of the cosmetics including elf, were in their packaging. And this was at 9:30 A.M.!!! The second store at least had a decent cosmetics section, but didn’t carry any elf at all. Hadn’t heard of it either. But I will check out Zellers.
@ Leslee — what do you mean they weren’t in their packaging? like people had gone through it all?
I saw these sets a zellers in chilliwack.…and was wondering if they were the actual elf products.…because they looked pretty cheap in quality.….the prices were reasonable.…
I have seen some at zellers and winners. They mostly just sell the sets. However at winners they do have some studio items but holy crap what a rip off!! The studio items are $5.99 — $7.99
i was wondering why i couldn’t fine it at zellers, in canada
i don’t know why, maybe its cuz the zellers(calgary) dosent have it yet
i asked the people at the store and they could’t find it either.
does anyone know why?
@victoria — maybe your zellers did not get them yet, I don’t know… I don’t really shop at Zellers so I can’t say for sure, I order all my elf online. You can also try Winners, they have lots of ELF! (the ones that redesigned the cosmetics section anyhow).
I just picked up 2 sets of the nail polish and a set of the eye shadow all were on clearance at my local Zellers for $2. The french manicure set is really nice and although the bottles of polish are small, my nails really do look nice.
I checked my local Zellers and they didn’t sell them =(
Does anyone know if there is a Zellers in scarborough that sales ELF products? or a Winners?
why are people complaining that they’re about $5? If you order elf online you’re going to be paying around $6 for shipping, depending on what you order. The reason why elf is so cheap is because they just tack the price onto the shipping so you think you’re only paying $1 for eyeshadow, but the real price is probably $5 just like any other eyeshadow.
I just recently found some ELF brushes and the lash curler at Dollarama (Toronto)! What normally sells for $1 USD on the website is $1.25 CAD at Dollarama which seems pretty great!
@shadowmist
try the Winners at McCowan Rd./ HWY 401. I found some ELF sets and pallets for about $5 — $7 if I’m not mistaken. I have yet to check Zellers..
@shadowmist
I found the beauty encyclopedia eye shadow set at Both the Winners at Warden and Eglinton and McCowan and Hwy 401(as mentioned by Cheryl). I paid $8.99 plus taxes for the set I bought and the colours were pretty pigmented for the price. I have dark skin, so sometimes it’s hard for me to find colours that show up on my skin tone, but the elf shadows were really pretty. I think all you need is an eyshadow base/primer. Hope this helps!!!
I found the beauty books and encyclopedias at Winners too! 8.99 (oddly the tag says compare at 12.99 when t know dang well these are 5 bucks in the US, and cheaper if u wait for a sale). Overall I’m really happy with the sets! I bought one of each! Nice colors, great eyeliner, and the shadows were generous and pigmented ( although a bit powdery so I agree with the previous poster on using a primer!
Oh thank goodness I came across this post; I was about to place an order on their website, but the whole customs fees thing put me off. Anyways, I will check Zellers if I get a chance. Giant Tiger is listed on their website, so if I’m ever in Mississauga I’ll pop in and report back. @Cheryl — I found 2 of the brushes at Dollarama in downtown Toronto and I snatched them up lol. x
I just wanted to let everybody know that, at least where I live, they sell individual e.l.f. products at Giant Tiger. Now I’m not sure if Giant Tiger is all over Canada or not but, I just bought everything I wanted there and the price was the same as what you would pay online, just without those pesky shipping fees of course. Hope you guys find what you’re looking for, cheers!
I just bought some E.l.f. brushes at Giant Tiger in Canada…two bucks each. I bought them because Paula Begoun the cosmetic cop raved about them…
is it available in Vancouver too????
I just went to giant tiger in Montreal and they didn’t have any of the line and was told that they hadn’t had any for a couple months .I will hopefully find them at zellers tomorrow.I have also found out that http://www.ftbbeauty.com/ carries some of the elf line in the same price range as the other website but this one ships from Canada
Is ELF products available in Vancouver/Burnaby area?!?
I was at the winners in sudbury ontario. They had lots of ELF products. They were priced from 4.99–9.99 some even more expensive. They were in gift set form. You could get some single products from the studio line such as the concealer palette and the HD powder. But it was kinda gross alot of their cosmetics were out of the packaging, which I believe warrants a discount!
are elf products available in calgary?
i’d love to know where u could find them at and how much the prices are there.
i LOVE elf products and use them everyday
Yah, you can totally get a discount. Tell them at the cash and they will mark it down by 10–15%. Just make sure that they are not opened. By the way Winners frequently carries another line called Naturale beauty which is manufactured by ELF cosmetics. From what I can tell on the websites they look pretty much the same. Naturale beauty is a bit higher in terms of price point.
Hi just thought i would tell you something.. This is twice now i’ve landed on your blog in the last 3 weeks searching for completely unrelated things. Spooky or what? Compare Insurance Rates,Compare Insurance Rate,Insurance,auto insurance,health insurance,home insurance.
i loooooove elf products but i can never find them? any know any from stores in saskatchewan? thanks
besides zellers
You can always get them online
I always get them from puffypuff.com
Hey biwee and Nina, I also live in the vancouver area. Ive seen some of the brushes and eyeshadows and eyelash curlers at dollarama. I’d suggest going down to bellingham target because it is a bit cheaper… They do also have it at Winners but its a total rip off compared to target. I havent checked out Zellers yet though.
