It has been a long journey to switch my life over to a more clean living. Because this tends to cost more money I have chosen to slowly make my way through it. Almost a year ago I had the pleasure of going to a local pop-up shop at Little Mountain Shop in Vancouver where Elate Cosmetics was all set up. It was love at first, application? Anyway since then my makeup bag as been overtaken by all things Elate.
Last weekend Tamara from Discovering Parenthood and me got together for a fun little photo shoot to show off some holiday looks you can achieve with Elate products. I have never done a collaboration with another blogger and it was a lot of fun! Collaboration, not competition ladies, am I right?! We were both up early to get ready together at my place and then head out and shoot.
Here is our before. Can you tell we are two tired mamas in the morning?
The morning reminded me of those girl nights when you all arrive at one person’s house and all get ready together. You know those nights? Those are far behind me now but it was such a great reminder of those younger days. It was also interesting to see how Tamara started her face and how I started mine. I alway start with foundation first while Tamara started with her eyes.
I love how with makeup you can play around and match it to your personality. Here is Tamara’s after. Isn’t she stunning!!
For more information on what products Tamara used to create her look head over to her post for all the deets!
Now for mine! I actually wasn’t going to use eyeshadow for my look as I’m more of a bolder eyeliner type and less eyeshadow but I went for it. Tis the season right!
Get the look:
Face: Elate “Fairest” Foundation and loose powder Veiled Elation in “Glowing”
Eyes: Elate Essential Mascara, Eyeliner in “Origin” shadows in “Rebirth” & “Rebel”
Cheeks: Universal Creme “Little Love” and Universal Creme “Wonder Highlight”
Lips: I actually mixed two colors together “Grace” and “Wild” lipsticks.

would love the merriment winter palette
I would love to add the Revel Winter Palette to my makeup collection from Elate! Love the colours! ❤️
Love the look! I would be thrilled to choose any of Elate's eyeshadows! I'm such a sucker for beautiful makeup!
Looks like fun (and made me slightly nostalgic for the days of getting ready with girlfriends)! I'd love to try the mascara and eye shadow. 🙂
I'd love to get Elate's LIPS + LASHES : ORIGIN AND GRACE beauty kit!
The fresh tint foundation and creme revealer
I would like to be adventurous and try the Elate Liquid Eyeliner in gold. I am anxious to the Creme Revealer concealer also. I love that these products are all clean makeup and contain ingredients like coconut oil and essential oils!
I have been eyeing their creme sticks, especially the wonder highlight, for so long! I also plan on getting/trying all their products at some point! Such a lovely brand.
I'd love to get the ELATE MOISTURIZING LIP GLOSS – DIVINE
I love the transparency of your posts. And in this last one you ladies look like twins!
I hadn't heard of Elate before this and they sound fab. Can't wait to try their Full Tint ivory foundation.
I would love to get the Fresh Tint Foundation, the Essential Mascara, and the Crème Lipstick.
What fantastic photos of you two! I like the ELATE MOISTURIZING LIP GLOSS in SPARK
jan
I would get the Fresh Tint Foundation
Elate's moisturizing lip gloss!
I'd love to try their eye colors – I'm allergic to most makeup so clean and natural could be the way to go! Love the subtleness of the "sweet" pressed eye color!
The TWINKLE LOOSE EYE COLOUR – ETHEREAL looks so pretty and I'd love to try!
So glad to have stumbled upon your review of elate and their fab cosmetics! I am also trying to live a cleaner, more sustainable life but my makeup bag is one of the last places to get an overhaul.
I'd love to try elate essential mascara: http://www.elatecosmetics.ca/products/elate-clean-cosmetics-mascara as well as creme lipstick in shade "unlimited": http://www.elatecosmetics.ca/collections/lipsticks/products/elate-creme-lipstick-unlimited
Gorgeous photo shoot, looks like you ladies had lots of fun! xx
Is like to try the liquid eyeliner and maybe a lip gloss.
