First thing to mention was how quick the brushes were delivered. I ordered it on the Saturday, it was dispached on Monday and arrived at my door on Tuesday, very impressive considering delivery was free!
The brushes came packaged in plastic pockets, with a brush protector pocket for the 2 face brushes. On first impressions, they looked very expensive and were amazingly soft and fluffy, yet firm at the same time. I ordered a powder brush, blush brush and eyeshadow c brush which were £3.50 each.
Powder brush- I had so many recommendations for this brush and I can see why. I've been using it instead of a kabuki for my MSF and it doesn't pick up much powder each time, so its great for a light coverage and since using this I've not had any problems with my powder looking cakey.Blush brush- This is the perfect width for applying blusher to my cheeks, although its not as fluffy as other blush brushes. It would also be great for contouring and highlighting.
Eyeshadow c brush- This picks up eyeshadow so well. If I use it sideways its a perfect size for my small eyelids and its also really good for blending eyeshadows and eyeliners..
Having tried all the brushes for a fortnight, I am super impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for some reasonably priced good make up brushes.
If you are thinking of ordering some ELF cosmetics, they are offering free delivery this weekend, simply use '39KLIKEELFUK' or '39KLIKEELFEU' on all orders over £10.
Hope this post was helpful.
