E.L.F Cosmetics

[aeni]

Oh no! Good enough reason!

I've never used ELF brushes, but any brush is technically good as long as you use it for the right product and take care of them. And they're cheap enough to use!

Don't know about the fallout. That would be my biggest question.

[wordgirl]

I've had very mixed results with the e.l.f. brushes.

The eye shadow brush (a flat brush) is great. I'd put this against many high-end brushes. I have three and have seen no fallout.

Their synthetic concealer, foundation and eyeliner brushes are OK, the lip defining brush is decent and it's hard to mess up a spoolie.

But the rest of the brushes - eh, not impressed. The face brushes are very low-end (unlike the ES brush, exactly what you'd expect for $1.) The "blending eye brush" is really awful - like they chased down a running squirrel to get the bristles. (I just threw that one away, but bristles were already falling out.) And the "smudge" eye brush fell apart the first time I used it.

The prices are higher than the dollar.

They have Foundation in 5 colors ($5). Blushes($5), bronzer ($8), concealer($5), and brushes.

I don't know...it may work for some, I can't imagine the coverage being that great. I am interested in the blushes and bronzers though.

I got an email from them with this link:

They have a bunch of kits and blushes.
Even a Kabuki brush?!

I saw that on the website today when I was christmas shopping
I can't decide whether I want to try it or not
it's only 5 dollars so I might go for it

The mineral glow powder looks nice, the stuff doesn't look too bad though.

After it took nearly 6 weeks to get my elf purchase, I don't think I'll ever order anything from them again. Especially when it's not even a dollar.

I saw this and wanna try..

[Rubiez]

Ah....that's interesting, they are branching out a lot.

[MadchenRogue]

Well I heard good reviews for the Sonia Kashuk brushes. They are onsale at target...for 18 bucks. Check it out !

[astronaut]

I've heard really good reviews on the Costco brushes. It's only 20 something dollars for a bunch of brushes. I'm thinking of maybe getting the set myself to apply makeup on others. I don't like using MY brushes lol.

[Lorelai]

I don't own any myself, but according to my cousin..."the bristles on many of the e.l.f. brushes are smooth when compared to other drugstore brands. They provided a smear and flake free application (though some were a bit scratchy on my eye). The foundation brush was particularly nice; the professional eye liner brush is a bit stiff, but works well with a cake eyeliner."

e.l.f. brushes, unfortunately, are not known to be consistent. Several of my friend's brushes shed terribly, while my cousin's brush has yet to loose a single bristle. Both have had handles on various brushes fall off with no prior warning or unusual use.

These cosmetic brushes are certainly not high end but they’re pretty good for one dollar a piece. Personally, I would spend twenty dollars on either the Sonia Kashuk or Cosco brush sets; these brushes are a good investment for those on a tight budget or who don't want to spend an arm and a leg for brand name brushes.

Hope that helps!

if you're shopping for ELF brushes i highly recommend their eyeshadow brush..but that's it. their foundation brush is not full enough. their angles contour brush hurts as well as their blending brush. also, their concealer brush is way too small..even if it's only a $1..a dollar is a dollar..

[♥MiCHiE♥]

Man! I will never order from their site again! My order has been "In Processing" for 6 days! I sent them an email asking when I might be able to expect it to FINALLY be processed. They sent me a copy & pasted answer from their FAQ section! I hate online ordering that's slower than snail mail. They won't be seeing my CC again.

A few of their brushes are decent - I like the flat ES brush a lot and the angle isn't so bad. The "blending" brush is terrible, even for $1, and the "smudger" fell apart the first time I used it.

Their empty palettes fit small MAC ES pans, and you can get 5 pans in there if you remove the plastic insert. They're mirrored, too, which gives them a slight edge over MAC pro pans.

Their eyelash curler and tweezers flat-out rock IMHO. I like the e.l.f. tweezers almost as much as my Tweezermans.

I recently got my order from E.L.F
i love their brushes,
well all but the blending one,
im a HUGE fan of the all over face, eyeshadow and foundation brushes tho

[kristakamikaze]

[kristakamikaze]

haha<3

[Bootyliciousx]

lipglosses

[milamonster]

i love their eyeshadow brushes minus the blending brush. that one is seriously a piece of CRAP!!!
I like the face stuff in flushed and thier lashes.

[milamonster]

yay! i use these to do most of my makeup. i love the lipbrush and i used the face brush up until i got my mac face brush. i cannot testify for the concealer brush because i don't have that one. do not get the blending. it got all matted and it's just dumb. the smudger is just what it looks like (dont need it lol).

[milamonster]

i want to try it but i dont know whether i need dark or deep?

[Anabolina]

I got their big, fluffy one a couple of years ago and it was nice until I had to clean it. Then it became a rough mess, very scratchy, but no real shedding.

[weldhian]

The only one I'd recommend is their eyeshadow brush. Their angled eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush and lip brush are good for a dollar. Their blush brushes are pretty bad; scratchy and made me itch. And the blending brush is the most awful brush I've ever had the "pleasure" of using; rough and sheds like crazy.

[LatteGoodness]

So did anyone get to use these brushes yet? I'm thinking of buying one myself, but I'm hesitant...
