For some
time now, I've been on the hunt for some new makeup brushes and obsessed with finding them at a good price . After reviewing many You Tube and blogs about how amazing and cheaply priced the ELF brushes were I decided to invest
in some myself to see what all the hype was about.
I purchased
several brushes from the studio Line. The regular price is
$3.00/brush. Yes, you read right
$3.00/brush. Even better than that E.L.F who is always having promotions was
having a 50% off promotion on their studio line, Yup that would be $1.50/brush,
so I thought what a perfect time to stock up and invest in some new brushes;
So if you're looking for some decent brushes without breaking the bank stay tune
for a more detailed review on description and how I like to use these brushes. I've also linked each of the brushes on the E.l.f's website.

My Use
I already
owned this brush and have had it for several years… It was starting to get a
little messed up so I purchased another one. This brush if you review YouTube is probably one of the most used brush
out there and I have to say it is
worthy of all its hype.
I use this
brush to apply my liquid, cream and/or powder foundations. It gives me a smooth
flawless and natural finish each time.
Small Stipple Brush
Use the Small Stipple Brush to create soft layers by adding texture for a natural airbrushed result. The two layers of bristles create ultimate control from sheer to heavy coverage for small and hard to reach places. Ideal with liquid, cream or powder products, foundation, concealer, and cream blush.

My Use
I am really lovin' this brush.. It's soft but also dense and its small size is great for applying the
ELF HD cream blushes, it distributes product nicely when stippling to the cheeks and I'm able to blend into the cheeks showing the true vibrancy of the blush.
Rate: Excellent
Complexion Brush

My Use
I pretty much use this brush every day, the brush bristles are so soft and I like to use it to apply with translucent powders all over the face. Between the brush and powder it applies very lightly and sheer minimizing those fine face lines. Sometimes if I am not using this brush for an all over sweep, I will then use it to dust away excess powder.
Rate: Very Nice
Mineral Powder Brush
The rounded-dome tip and densely packed bristles offer exact product placement and complements the circular movements needed to apply mineral powders. Perfect for providing full coverage and reaching the hard to reach crevices of the face. Use for applying both loose and compact mineral powders or any other pressed or loose powder, foundation, bronzer or blush.

My Use
Great brush,soft, like the complexion brush but half the size and much denser. I use this brush for translucent and mineral powders for a more precise application. I can always get the necessary cover that I am looking for when using this brush.

My Use
Here's another brush that I think is awesome. Who said you can't get good brushes for cheap. I use this brush when using translucent powder to set under my eyes. It's small and fits perfectly under the eye where most of my fine lines reside and it helps set my concealer.
That's it folks until next time - Toodles for now!
Let me know which ELF brush you own? Or would like to have.
La Femme cosmetics was originally made exclusively for professionals such as makeup artist, TV, and Theater but I'm glad they are available to the public because these babies are super pigmented and the cost is AMAZING 2.87$/blush. I never thought in my wildest dreams that the price could get any lower. So when Makeup Mania had their Thanksgiving Pink Saturday sale I had to pick up a few more of these blushes that I've had my eye on for a while but were always out of stock due to their popularity and to boot they took 1.00$ off each blush.
MUA an United Kingdom (UK) drugstore brand was celebrating 35,000 likes on Facebook just around the time of the US Thanksgiving and had an offer of 35% off orders of £10+ and free international shipping.
