e.l.f Professional Brush Collection 10 pieces Review

I heard a lot of raving about ELF brushes so I thought I would get this set because it had your basics for everything . Also it was a great price $10 off iHerb . I was really disappointed when they first arrived as the foundation brush left streaks all over my face and the all of powder brush just did not please me . However I do like the eyebrow, eyelash brushes so have kept them at bay the rest I have given to my daughter to play with

I bought this for $4.99 (Burlington) the hair to the fluffy brushes is soft but they shed a lot. Since I wash my brushes with acne soap I thought well why not these. Big mistake the hairs tangled up like they did not stay straight they bended and clumped up together.

I bought these brushes because I was desperate for something to tie me over until i could afford the real techniques brushes and this set seemed to have a good range of brushes.

When I first took them out I was immediately pretty disappointed in the quality. I mean, I wasn't expecting much for the price but reviews I had read about e.l.f brushes were all pretty good so I was a wee bit surprised. i did shrug it off because I when I started using the brushes I didn't find them too bad.

After a few weeks of use I noticed the top of the brushes loosening up from the wooden handles and nowabout three of them have completely seperated so that is pretty disappointing. Not all of them are terrible though, I have found the eyebrow wand amazing for prepping brows and the eyeliner brush very good for filling in the brows so those two are definitely my faves. I also get a lot of use out of the total face brush for powder. Other than those three I think this set is a bit of a miss and I recommend holding out, saving up and getting the real techniques!

I'm a huge fan of E.L.F products but these brushes just didn't cut it for me. They felt very rough on my face and 2 of the brushes broke after the first use which was disappointing. The eyeliner brush can't be used as an eyeliner brush as it's far too thick and the concealer brush seems pointless.

I am a massive fan of elf brushes and their products but this set was absolutely horrible. The blush and total face brush were not even cut evenly there were bristles hanging around every where, they were not dense in any way what so ever and very rough on my face they didn't feel nice at all.

The eyebrow/eyelash brush i had no complaints about as they are a normal brush to have and cant really stuff that one up. I personally found the eyeliner brush was too thick and cant use it myself for eyeliner unless i want to do a thicker line or I use it for creme liners or eyeshadow. The concealer brush wasn't bad, i found it dense and it covered spots easily with good distribution of products. The eyeshadow brush was good again no complaints it applied my eyeshadow evenly. The eye sponge was fine too they couldn't really stuff that up either same with the lip brush even though i found the lip brush quite hard on my lips, i like something dense but soft for my lips. And because I have the full set of the elf professional range i use the foundation brush to apply face masks which work perfectly, the foundation brush is dense and nice and soft on my face which i like.

But overall because of the condition of the bristles i did ask a refund on these brushes and wouldn't buy them again, I was really disappointed compared to the full set of professional brush range.
