Recently, specially with the cold weather, I've been trying to find a good, affordable, and portable moisturizer that I can use on my face both under or over my makeup. For a while now, I've been hearing both positive and negative reviews about this product (most negatives are due to the parabens in it), so I wanted to give it a go.
The Daily Moisture Stick from e.l.f.'s Studio line is an easy to use clear gel formula moisturizer that nourishes and hydrates your skin without leaving behind a greasy, sticky, or shiny residue.

| It looks like a huge lipbalm! Its packaging is very similar to a typical lipbalm, except jumbo size! Its bottom twists up to expose the actual product. |
Daily Moisture Stick is an easy to use clear gel formulation that nourishes and hydrates the skin. This light-weight and soothing multi-purpose balm is enriched with antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients including: Grape, Cocoa, Shea, Avocado, Macadamia, Aloe and Chamomile. The sleek, convenient packaging is perfect for travel and everyday use to condition and moisturize the skin, both at home and on the go!
My Description:
The e.l.f. Daily Moisture Stick is definitely multi-purpose and is easy to use and travel with, as stated in the website description. The product itself is a solid, clear gel formula that leaves the skin feeling cool and hydrated and it doesn't leave behind a heavy, greasy, shiny, or sticky residue. This product can be applied underneath makeup without affecting the makeup's appearance or finish...if you lay a matte foundation over a patch of this product, it will stay matte, you aren't left with a shiny or greasy patch...if you lay a mineral powder foundation over this, it won't appear shiny or greasy in that area either. I haven't applied this product to my whole entire face as a moisturizer, and I do not recommend doing so just because of all the parabens it contains and I think this product would be better to use on smaller dry patches rather than on large areas on the skin.
Website How To:
Twist up and apply to the face in a circular motion prior to makeup application. Great for use on dry or chapped hands, elbows and knees.
My How To:
Twist product up and use a clean finger to pick up some product, with your finger tips, massage the product on any dry or chapped patches. After each use, swipe the top of the product with a tissue to sanitize it.
This Daily Moisture Stick can be applied on a dry patch over makeup, just be sure to apply it with a patting motion so you won't ruin your makeup underneath.
My Recommendations:
I recommend using this product over any dry patches you have on your face, hands, feet, knees and elbows to temporarily moisturize them.
I wouldn't recommend using this product on your whole face or on large parts of your body, especially not as a DAILY moisturizer, only because of all the parabens this product contains. I haven't tried actually applying it all over my face so I can't say anything much about how it will last under a full face of makeup.
Product Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Sodium Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, PEG-150 Distearate, Sodium Chloride, Menthol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Mica, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Tocopherol, Butyrospermum Parkll (Shea) Butter, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Chamaemelum Nobile (Chamomile) Extract, BHA, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben
In e.l.f. website this product has a 3.9 star customer rating and I do agree with that rating.
My overall thoughts and opinions for this product is that it is a great temporary moisturizer for dry patches especially during the winter season. It is great for traveling since you don't have to worry about spills and it is great to use on the go. I would definitely recommend this product to people who struggle with dry patches and for those who are on the hunt for a moisturizer that they could apply before or after their makeup on the go.
