ELF Essential Brush Review

Essential Eye Shadow Brush

I was so excited to get this brush because I had seen so many vloggers talk about it on YouTube and I wanted a good inexpensive eye shadow brush and for $1.00 I couldn't lose right???


WRONG!!

I'm not sure what other people see in this brush but it was horrible! When I first opened it and felt it, it felt great! It was dense and had a nice handle and all that jazz....but when I used it the hairs started falling out all over my face. Every time I swiped a shadow a hair fell out in it or it fell on my face once I applied the shadow. So right after I applied my eye shadows, I'm literally wiping my face because I feel all of these tiny little hairs all over it. I also cleaned it to see if that would make the lose hairs all fall out and it didn't work, there was still fall out from the brush at each use.

 At only $1 I'm not complaining too much but I felt it was only fair that if I rave about a product that I also stay just as honest on items that didn't work so well for me. In staying honest, I am going to buy a couple more ONLY because I want to make sure that I didn't just get a "bad brush". If I had never tried any of the other ELF brushes from either the essential line or studio line (which the studio line brushes are fabulous) then I probably would never try another brush but since I know the capability of ELF products, I'm going to give it another shot...or two. If nothing else my yard sale coming up will have some extra items for sale ;) ;)

Have you tried this brush?? Do you love it or hate it? I'd love to hear from you!

Be blessed beauties!

ELF Eye Primer

I'm so excited to share about this primer that I got in the mail last week! I ordered quite a bit from ELF cosmetics and of all the things I bought, the primer stands out the most. When I first applied it I thought it was really wet and a little "thin" (which is not what you get with say Urban Decay's Primer Potion) but I decided I would try it anyway. My first outing where I wore the primer was to my company picnic. I was a little nervous since it was outside and I couldn't fix it in the case that it didn't work but boy was I surprised! This primer exceeded my expectations for sure! It goes on so light and creamy and yes a little moist but once it dries and you apply your shadows, it doesn't move or crease or anything!

I couldn't believe how well it worked! And at the end of the night (hours later) when I washed my face, it came off very easily. So it lasted when it needed to and came off when I wanted it to. Here is the best part about this primer.......ready???..... IT'S ONLY $1!!!!!!!!!! Yes that's right, $1 and now you can buy ELF products at Target so you don't even need to worry about shipping! For $1.07 (have to add tax) you get an amazing product.

I highly recommend this primer along with many other things by ELF. I will be reviewing other things that I bought throughout the week so stay tuned for more!

Here is a picture of what I bought and will be reviewing later on:

Be blessed always Beauties!!

e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder

I am in love with this stuff!!!!! When you put it on you get like an airbrushed look. I did notice if you put too much on you get a white film so less is more with this. ELF is really coming up with their products. I ordered quite a bit of stuff from them recently so that I could check it out and what not and although there were some things I wouldn't waste my money on again, there were others that I would totally invest in, and at such low cost, you would be silly not to try this stuff out! Stay tuned for more reviews on the ELF products that I purchased. I'm itching to tell you guys about the awesome stuff that I bought!

I give this product a 4 out of 5. It does what it says and gives you such a great finish. The packaging is solid and you get a lot of product for such a low cost. I believe I only paid $3.00 because I bought it when they had a 50% off sale (which they have sales all the time so sign up for their emails!) The only reason I didn't say 5 out of 5 is because if you use too much you get a white film so blending out is key! Click here to go to Elf's website and see this product and others.

And remember, stayed tuned because I will be reviewing other stuff I bought from there.
