First of all, if you're going to use a runny liquid foundation, you're going to hate this brush. as other people have said before me, it does have some amount of streaking and it just looks bad in general. If you're wearing a thicker consistency foundation (I use the Napoleon Perdis stick foundation) it works absolutely perfectly! It doesn't streak at all. Like all other Ecotools brushes, it's amazingly soft and it fits well in your hand. If you're using the right type of thicker foundation, it's also really easy to blend. I personally like this brush a lot, but if you use a more liquidy foundation, this isn't the brush for you.

These are some of the softest brushes I've ever felt. I think I have every single brush from this line, and I hardly ever use anything else! This set is such a great deal too! This is the set I travel with. It's really all I need for a few days, and the quality is amazing! Everything used with these brushes goes on smoothly and evenly, and they pick up a lot more product than other brushes because they're more dense. I personally think Ecotools could sell this entire set for a LOT more money, and people would still buy it, because they're such great brushes!

This is honestly one of the best blush brushes I've ever tried. They could easily sell it for 30 dollars and people would still most likely buy it. It's one of the softest brushes I've ever felt, just like all of Ecotool's brushes. It's extremely dense, but it doesn't feel stiff at all unlike other brands. Because it is so dense it picks up a LOT of product, so you have to get used to that, but it's really nice once you get the hang of it. It also puts the blush, powder, or whatever you're putting on your face smoothly and evenly, and it's really nice for blending it out too. The tip of the brush is slightly tapered so it can be used for contouring too. It fits really nicely in your hand too. For a brush that only cost me a few bucks, I was really surprised that it doesn't shed AT ALL. I've had mine for about a year and not a single bristle has come out. It's amazing! This is one of those things that I'll probably be repurchasing for a really long time.

This is such a great eyeshadow! They're all really pigmented, go on smooth, and feel so silky! The color selection is huge, and there's something for everyone. They last all day, even without the primer potion. They also have many different finishes, and if you buy them online it tells you which ones have glitter and which ones don't in the color description. The only reason this doesn't get 10 stars is because the ones with the glitter really do end up all over your face it you're not careful. They're really beautiful colors, but there's a LOT of pretty big glitter, which I like on some occasions, but there's quite a lot of fallout. The packaging is really cute, and sturdy enough so it doesn't break the eyeshadow if you drop it. Overall it's an amazing line of eyeshadows, and if you don't like glitter, choose a non-glitter color.

I'm totally shocked that the rating on this product is so low! It's one of the best curlers I've ever tried. First of all, it's adorable. The purple chunky handles and the gold finish made a big impression on me and ultimately made me choose it over other curlers. It pinches a TINY bit if you use it wrong, but all it takes is a little practice to get it so you never pinch yourself. IT really does curl your lashes too! It doesn't just stick them straight up, as many other curlers do, but it curves them, which puts it up higher on the list than most curlers. I personally think it's comparable to the Shu Uemura curler. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!

I got this perfume for my birthday, and I have to say it's absolutely amazing! I thought I'd never find anything I liked more than my Viva La Juicy, but this completely blows it out of the water. It's got vanilla in it, which I absolutely love, it's really strong so I only need one or two sprays, and it lasts and lasts! I think the bottle deserves a mention too. It's the cutest one I've ever owned! As you've probably seen in the image, it's a light purple cat. It comes with a cute little collar which comes off very easily, but it's adorable so I don't mind much. I'd totally recommend this perfume to someone younger. I've gotten so many compliments! I won't be switching to anything else anytime soon.

So, when I saw this product at Target, my skepticism was neverending. It was only 3 dollars, and ELF is generally a hit or miss brand. What this product claimed it could do seemed way too good to be true. First of all, I don't really use the primer much. It's okay, but I use the Urban Decay primer potion, and it just can't live up to that. It's pretty decent though, and I'll throw it in my purse every once and awhile. I do like how it has a tint to it so it evens out the skin on your eyelids. I can't say how it works on dark skin, though, since I'm extremely fair skinned. Now onto the liner sealer. Oh. My. God. I can't get over how amazing this product is! I've never seen this concept anywhere else, and ELF set a REALLY high standard for competitors. It not only turns any eyeshadow you want into eyeliner, it makes it WATERPROOF! And it really lasts forever. It also comes with a really nice liner brush/applicator. I use this almost everyday! I'll repurchase and repurchase this until they discontinue it (hopefully that won't be soon because I might die without this product). And it's only three dollars! I'd expect a higher end brand to price this at around 20-30, so it's a huge steal. And it's really high quality, even for ELF products. Everyone needs one of these in their makeup bag. It's so easy to use.

I've tried so many sunblocks on my face, it's ridiculous. I've tried almost everything you can find at Target, and none compare to this. My skin is oily, so naturally most sunscreens just look like a huge greasy mess on my skin, which is why I didn't like wearing them in the past. I picked this up for my face at the beginning of the summer, and I don't know how I ever lived without it! It actually mattifies my face! I can even skip foundation with this. I put it underneath all my makeup (like a primer) and my makeup lasts a lot longer than it did before, and it never breaks me out. This would be good for people with dry skin too, because it moisturizes very well! It works really well and stays on through EVERYTHING. I'm EXTREMELY fair skinned and this keeps me from burning all day! I don't plan on switching to anything else in the future.

I got this for free from an offer awhile back. The complete full size just for bringing in an empty container. This seemed too good to be true, so I can say I wasn't expecting much. I actually ended up really liking this moisturizer though. It's really moisturizing, makes my skin feel soft and smooth, and it didn't break me out at all! I tend to only use this at night or around the house though, because it's a little greasy. It doesn't absorb into my skin as well as I would like it to and makes me shinier than most moisturizers, but it still moisturizes very well. The scent also deserves a mention. It's WONDERFUL! It smells really earthy and citrusy, but the scent doesn't linger on your face after you put it on, which I really like. I also like how it was made without parabens and is natural. Overall, I'd recommend this product as a nighttime mosturizer.

This is the first mascara I ever used. I remember being around 7 years old and trying this mascara out to see what it did. It was one of the mascaras I used for a long time when I first started wearing makeup. It's a REALLY good beginner mascara, if nothing else. It gives you a really natural look. All it basically does is turns your lashes a different color. There's no volumzing or lengthening that happens. I'm not sure if it's the formula or the brush (which looks like those cheap ones they give out for free to sample mascara), but it really does nothing for my lashes. I recently bought the limited edition purple one, and I really love the color, but again, the formula really doesn't do it for me. It's absolutely BEYOND me how this is so wildly popular (it claims to have been the #1 mascara for over 40 years), and I think it's way way way overrated. The only reason I purchased this is to get the purple coloring (which is really pretty and subtle, I only wish Maybelline had chosen a different formula, such as Falsies, to colorize, but whatever), and it's really just as mediocre as when I first tried it. I'd recommend this to a tween who has JUST started wearing makeup, as it looks very natural and is easy to apply, but not to anyone who's ever tried anything else.
