I was so excited to buy this brush because I've read several totalbeauty reviews and heard this is a great brush..Especially for $3!! You just can't beat that for such high end stuff. Well, the first time I bought the brush, I got it home and was all excited to try it, but when I took it out of the package, the part that connects the brush and handle was totally broke. I went back to Target and exchanged it for the same thing. I understand it's only $3 and I'm getting what I pay for, however, elf products have been great for me, and work just as well as high end makeup, so I was disappointed. I changed it out and went home with a new brush that was not damaged at all (I checked it in the store.) Upon returning home I took it out of the packaging to just rub the brush on my face to feel the quality and the hairs are very soft. I swept it across my face a few times, and after feeling completely satisfied that I got a great brush, noticed there were long black hairs all over my face that fell out of the brush!! Needless to say, I knew this brush just wasn't for me and it wouldn't work out. I returned it :( I gave it a 7 because it is the beautiful matte black that all elf products are, sleek, and a super soft brush, but I do not want my brushes to shed!!

I LOVE this bath product for my son. I have been putting it into his bath since he was born, and it's especially wonderful during those cold winter nights because of the menthol. I pour a dime to nickel sized amount after the water is in his tub, stir it a bit, and put him it. It's a strong, but not overpowering smell that reminds me of Vicks(I love Vicks!) and the menthol helps his breathing and his runny nose. I began using it when he was born last Christmas and still have over half the bottle, so I'm excited and prepared to use it this winter. It's not any more expensive then the rest of the J&J products which are all very affordable and the best baby products out there. I love this bath product!

I loveee this lotion. I take my son a bath every other night and use the Bedtime baby bath and this lotion after to give him a massage. It smells so good, not like the traditional J&J smell, but still great. I squirt it into my hands and rub him from head to toe, focusing on his thighs and back to relax him. It seems to calm him down and he relaxes while massaging him, and the smell is not overpowering for him either. I even put a small amount in all of his hair as a way to keep the smell on him longer, but also because the lotion is moisturizing and traps moisture so his little locks are soft! I trust J&J for all my baby products and this is a great line for a bedtime routine. Try it!

I purchased this for my infant son and have been using it on him since he was born. Like the Vaseline brand, this is a great multitasker for babies and the regular Aquaphor is great for adults. I have used this as a skin protectant to create a barrier so he will have fewer diaper rashes, and it is gentle on his skin. He was born in the winter and with the winds being so strong, he would get windburn on his nose and above his lips so I would put a little on him in the morning and the Aquaphor would moisturize his cracked skin. Also, having to wipe his nose alot when he has a runny nose caused redness and inflammation so I put some on it and it gets rid of it after a couple hours. I love the fact that the baby Aquaphor has Eucerin as I heard that brand is very moisturizing and it really is. Excellent for him during the winter months but a gentle, effective product for anything for babies!

Who DOESN'T love Vaseline brand petroleum jelly? I use this product for soo many things. I don't really need to describe the texture as I'm assuming most of you have touched it but it's soft, non greasy, and gentle. I have severe allergies and have never had any issue with the smell or product. I use this for my son during his changes to create a barrier on his skin to prevent rashes and he never has any issues with breaking out or redness. This is a cheap, excellent lip protectant and if my lips are severely chapped, a little on top and bottle puts moisture back into my lips. Sometimes I take a tiny amount and rub into my hands to trap moisture as well. If I have a large amount of eye makeup on, I take a small amount and put it on a cotton ball and it gently takes off the makeup. Even though times when I've accidentally gotten it into my eyes, there is no burning. On the flip side, whenever I wear heavy black eyeshadow on my lids, I take a small amount of Vaseline and coat it over the shadow for a dramatic, night time look. I learned this tip from beauty magazines and have received so many compliments..It's awesome. Vaseline is about $4 give or take, so you really get a great deal for this gentle multitasker. I've used it since I was little and will always have many uses for it!

I found elf products at the Dollar Tree and am ecstatic! I only saw a couple things, but I did end up purchasing the "natural" shade of the matte lip color and another color I'll review after I try it. I absolutely love this product and am glad I got it. I paid $1, and upon opening the packaging noticed the lipstick was in a lip liner like packaging that requires you to turn it to make the lipstick come out. I turned it up, and began applying to my lips. It's a creamy, soft lipstick that goes on smooth and has a gorgeous nude/pinkish color to it. It is gorgeous!! I put it on and about 2 hours later and through many kisses to my little baby boy, it's still on! I'm so happy I bought the natural and nearly nude, I foresee me loving that color just as much as this one. I have loved elf since the first time I tried their products and am very satisfied with this lip color. I always love the matte black packaging too, it gives it such a high end look! Try this lip color!

e.l.f delivers again! I purchased this finishing mist to see how it set my makeup and am very pleased with this product. It's a little over 2 fl oz and I only use about 3 sprays every time I put on my makeup in the morning so I believe it will last me for a few weeks. The smell is pretty neutral, almost nonexistent when I spray it on my face and dries in about 20 seconds give or take. After I'm done with my makeup, I spray once over my forehead, once over the left side of my face, and once over the right side of my face. I did the "all day test" and checked my makeup at the end of the day, and I could still see my bronzer, highlighter, blush, and perfect eyeshadow! I love this mist and will happily purchase more when I run out :]

I purchased this face wash out of curiosity because it looked sad and lonely on the shelf so I figured why not. I am a loyal fan of Clinique extra mild liquid facial soap because it's so gentle, but J&J is a brand I trust for my baby, and I figured I'd give it a shot. I am NEVER buying any other face wash, again. I am HOOKED!! It was about $4, so I didn't feel guilty and it's the best $4 ever. It's a big bottle, at 6 fl oz which is even better. It received an Editor's Choice Award in 2008 by allure, so I knew this would be a good product to try and on reading the bottle, it says it's "dermatologist recommended, gentle as water, soap-free, hypoallergenic, won't clog pores." There are so many claims on this bottle it's overwhelming, but makes me want to test this wash out even more!! I was so excited to test it out, I came home from Target, and started washing the makeup off my face. I wear a full face of makeup, primer, foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, lip stick, lip liner, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. I wet my face with warm water, squirt a dime sized amount of wash on my hands and started rubbing together with my other hand. I wanted to test the first claim that it's soap-free so I purposefully kept my eyes open to see how much they would burn and how much I'd scream, but nothing happened! :] I wear contacts as well which are super reactive to EVERYTHING, but nothing happened! Then, I washed my entire face and dabbed dry with a towel. The biggest shock out of the whole experience is the fact that my eye makeup was totally goneeee! Not just my eyeshadow, but my eyeliner AND mascara; in the history of my life, there has never been a face wash that has removed my eye makeup. That sealed the deal. I didn't break out after my face was dry, it was super soft, and there wasn't a harsh smell that lingered all day. This is my new and permanent face wash...I am so in love a day after I bought the 6 oz I went back to the store and bought the 12 fl oz size to make sure I had a backup. PLEASE try this face wash, it's addicting!!!

We received this as a gift for our baby shower and we LOVE it!! After I give my baby a bath, I squirt a dime sized amount (be careful it comes out like water) and rub it into my hands. I apply it behind his ears, his chubby neck, on his back, his belly, and armpits. It has the best smell ever; that usual amazing Johnson smell. It's not overpowering for my son, I can smell the cologne on him, and when I bring him to daycare his teachers always compliment us on how great he smells :] I have never seen his skin break out from this cologne either. The only thing that kind of stinks is it a liquid and comes out quick when you squirt it, so be careful! Otherwise this product is a 10 and a great baby gift.

I have had great success with elf products and am hooked! My friend recommended I try the elf eyelid primer because she heard me saying I buy Lorac eye primer and said I should try to save money. I went to Target and found the whole elf line and found this for $1!!!! Even if it stunk I knew there was no way I could be mad by paying $1. That's the best deal I've ever got on any makeup in my life! The tube is a great size, you get so much product. It is a light nude color so I was a bit nervous to see how it would blend on my lid but using the great lip gloss resembling brush, I applied some on my lids and used the brush to blend. I felt like I wasn't really getting anywhere with the applicator so I ended up using a makeup sponge to really blend all the way up to my eyebrow (I put eye shadow all the way up to my eyebrow.) It was smooth. even, and dried instantly when on my lid. I put my eyeshadow on after and checked it through out the day and my eyeshadow hadn't budged. At the end of the day, around 9ish, I checked one last time before I removed my makeup, and my shadow was still on!! I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this primer, what have you got to lose? It's only a buck!
