Elf Brushes



      e.l.f Brushes





I recently went to target to pick up a couple of face brushes. While I was there I decided to get e.l.f brushes. I purchased the Essential Foundation Brush and the Essential Blushing, Bronzing and Blending Brush both for $1.00 each. Keep in mind I have many other brushes from sephora, sonia kashuk, and laura mercier. Ok, so, after testing out these brushes, I can say that I definitely got what I paid for. The ferrule completely came off of the handle of both brushes! I placed it back on but now it is a little wobbly. I have never had this problem with any of my other brushes. Does anyone else have this problem, or maybe I purchased duds? This happened to both within like 3 times I used them. Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with the packaging since its flimsy. I am going to keep the brushes because I like the bristles just not the packaging. My quick fix will be to hot glue it back together. Anyways, be careful if you buy these brushes!

  1. I hate ELF brushes! Actually... I only hate their $1 line brushes. Some of the studio line brushes are actually pretty decent and I've been using them for at least 2 years! I've not had good luck with ANY $1 brushes, though. Either they completely fall apart of their bristles feel like straw on my face. We definitely got what we paid for!

  3. i never liked the dollar brushes from elf. they did always fall apart and i would have to crazy glue them together. the elf brushes from the studio line is much better!! a lot softer and great for beginners. some of those fell apart too, but i didnt mind gluing them together because they didnt suck otherwise.

  4. OOo that does not sound good. I haven't tried any of their brushes but their makeup is hit or miss!

  6. i have the blush brush and it's one of my favorite brushes!! the studio line is superior to the $1 essential brushes but i really really like the essential blush brush. you may have gotten a dud or perhaps when you washed it, some water leaked up into the ferrel, causing the glue to come apart??

    i have been using the couple of essential brushes that i have for years now and they have held up nicely. it sucks you had a bad experience. :(

    hopefully you'll try the studio line. you'll see a huge difference. i'm doing a review of the studio set soon so be sure and check it out!
