ELF Cosmetics enjoys a mixed reputation among customers, with many praising the affordability and quality of their products, particularly for beginners. Positive experiences frequently highlight effective shipping and packaging, as well as the brand's commitment to cruelty-free and vegan options. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, with reports of unresponsive support, order inaccuracies, and delays in reward redemption overshadowing positive interactions. Overall, while ELF's product offerings attract loyal customers, the company must address its customer service challenges to enhance satisfaction and trust.

I own a lot of Elf products and i am constantly looking for new releases and items sold in stores. But, recently the site is soo slow that it makes it very frustrating to make an order. I understand that the deals and low prices means that there is constant traffic on the site, but they really need to figure out a solution. It took me over 3 days of constantly trying to place an order for it to finally go through. I was very frustrated and annoyed and i do not plan on going through that much trouble again. If they do not fix this problem soon, I will switch brands and shop somewhere else.
Very cheap products! Pretty slow shipping, but everything arrived eventually.
Great deals, really affordable and decent quality on most products. Only complaint is the minimum total amount for free shipping is a little high, and has gotten much higher in the past year.
May 19: Signed up on ELF website and placed an order (with international shipping to Montreal, Canada).
May 20 early morning: Confirmation email from ELF: order is shipped.
May 21: "FedEx Delivery Exception" due to "Improper or missing paperwork - Missing Commercial Invoice". "Shipper requested shipment to be returned - Unable to deliver shipment returned to the shipper." (tracking information from FedEx website)
May 21: In the evening I send an email to ELF customer service (it was past their business hours to call) inquiring about my order. ELF immediately replied with an automated email apologizing for the package being "lost in transit" and asked whether I would like a refund on my card or have my order reshipped, if the latter, to confirm my shipping address. I wrote back that I'd like my order to be reshipped and I provided my shipping address once more.
May 22: Confirmation email from ELF: order is shipped.
May 23 to 28: Nothing, and no tracking record on FedEx website (ELF does advise that the tracking record will only update once the package has crossed the Canadian border which could take up to ten days).
May 29 - 6:30 am: FedEx tracking update: Package has "Left FedEx origin facility" on the 28 and is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". Estimated delivery: Thursday May 29.
May 29 - 2:30 pm: DELIVERED.
I am satisfied with the products and service I got.
However, due to the issues they seem to be having with shipping and customer service (based on myriad complaints I've seen from other customers), I am not ordering online from ELF again; the anxiety of not knowing whether or not you're gonna get your package is not worth it.
Buying their products in-store, if you can, in your best bet.
E. L. f is a great place if you just want to start buying makeup unfortunately it broke me out and the foundation/concealers are orange on me and that's no good. Otherwise it's pretty good :)) they just need to work on their color selection.
I love elf. I ordered all-over concealer, black eyeliner and mascara, and "fantasy" lipstick. I got them within one week and it all was great! They even gave me a cute little drawstring bag to keep it all in!
I love elf their products are very good quality and so affordable That you dońt hesitate to be beautiful... The accessories are incredible especially the brushes are soooo soft and the nail polish is perfect. I'd like to buy à lot of thèse but they increase the price from 1euro to 2,50 euros and the only thing That makes me hesitate to order is the shipping price at home it is 6,95€ In France it is huge ( most of cosmetics sites In France offer the shipping from 15 or 20€)
Great site. Easy to navigate, affordable prices, and the products are surprisingly good for the price you get them at! A gem :)
Really pleased with the everything E. L. F has to offer! Their customer service was great each time i had a question or needed to contact someone about my order. Shipping was relativity fast considering i live in Canada. The only problem i have with this site is the shipping price is so high :(
This website is great!
I've ordered several times and I am satisfied with every order.
Both the prices and the shipping is very low, and they always have offers which makes it even cheaper!
The last order I made was about 17 nailpolishes, for 15£ I think. They arrived very quickly and the quality is great! And the don't dry in the bottle eigher, so I am very happy with them!
I would really recommend this site. First of all: the prices really cheap with good quality; then if you like something out of stock they send you an e-mail when it's back on stock. And the shipping time: super fast I've made my order monday and by friday I had my products (I'm in Italy). Good quality, good price, fast shipping: perfect!
This site offers makeup for the thrifty person... I have ordered from here several times and have only had one problem... they didn't send me an item that I had ordered... a quick email to customer service and the money was deposited back into my account... The makeup from the site is just as good as any drugstore brand (cover girl, maybelline, revlon, etc). The site offers promos all the time and many times shipping will be as much as your order so you may want to order with a friend. Arrival time for your purchase is usually about 7-10 business days. Read the reviews of the items you select and order based on these reviews as some of the products don't always get good ratings... For the price of the makeup, it's worth a shot to see if you like their products or not... if you do, you have found a great site, if you don't, you aren't out alot of money.
I love this website. I have pretty much everything. I love there brushes from the studio line. They are so soft! And they don't shed... the ones that are a dollar are not that great..
I wish ALL women knew about ELF (eyeslipsface)! Almost everything on that website is under $5, and most of the time they do specials (right now it's free shipping on orders over $25!)
My co-worker introduced me to this- she's bought over $30 in supplies- says all of them work fabulously and the shipping was fast! She's addicted to this site and I have to admit, I'm addicted too!
The makeup on this website isn't "fake" makeup either (you know, where it looks pretty in the case but not on your face) - it's high quality stuff!
I'm so sorry to get you addicted too... :)
I've ordered here several different times. The make up is really inexpensive without having to sacrifice quality. I especially love the studio brushes. They're just as soft as the ones my friends by from Estee Lauder or some other expensive brand, and they're 75% cheaper!
The only problem I have with them is that it takes about 2 or 3 weeks before I it arrives. I don't even get a confirmation from shipping until about 5 days after I've ordered it. Other than that though, the make up is very worth it to buy and i will continue to buy it. Just don't expect it any time soon.
One for the ladies a company worth using and honest - I have brought quite a few item from this company, they are reliable, good value, and the speed of delivery is second to none. My last order was ordered in the afternoon and arrived the next morning now if thats not quick I don't know what is.
I just thought that instead of my moaning about the other company that I'm having trouble with I thought that I would let everyone know about a truly excellent company that really stands out in my book. Sandranewp
Answer: No. Not once and I've used tons of their products over the years.
Answer: Yes for me they do. I love their products. I order on their website and there's so many more products you would not believe.
Answer: I haven't seen any however their website is a great way to find items you cannot find on the store shelf. They have a lot of products online far exceeding what they carry in the stores. I've tried many products here and I won't switch.
Answer: ELF Poreless Putty Primer I love because it helps even out your skin tone and blurs what you don't want others to see. You put it on and let sit 1/2 hour do not wash off then apply your cosmetics to follow. It stays fresh all day
Answer: Do products from ELF work good on woman who are older? Like past 65? I have products. Creams and such (to expensive but use till they are gone). I need face make-up and eyeliner etc. Any older woman on here?
Answer: Their sales are huge, definitely recommend to catch one
