Recently when I was in my local Zellars I noticed the ELF (Eyes, Lips, Face) Look Books. I was surprised because they reminded me of an e-mail I had just recieved not too much earlier, the Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules palette.

Though I'm sure the quality differs they both seem to have a very similar look to both, as though they are school notebooks. The Bobbi Brown is $45 USD and has a combination of eyes, cheek and lip products. The E.L.F. on the otherhand has only one type of product per palette, however there are multiple palette types and shades available unlike the Bobbi Brown version.

I didn't see them personally but E.L.F. also has Beauty Encyclopedias out which combine more types of lip or eye products together. All the E.L.F. palettes are $5.00 USD at Target, or at Zellars in Canada I found them for $9.99 CND.
So what do you think? Blatent copying? Or excellent bargain? Personally I like both the expensive Bobbi Brown one and the E.L.F. ones. The idea I think is cute!
I'd probably get the cheaper one if I had to decide. But I really love this idea...very cute, might become a holiday gift for my sister.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree I think these would make excellent gifts for friends, especially younger girls in their tweens and teens :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these...but I do like ELF. Some of their products aren't that great, but many of the products from ELF work just as fine. But I also like Bobbi Brown as well; when you use BB products, you just notice that the quality is really good and worth the money.
