Not Worth The Money
I realllly regret buying this, this broke in 2 ways after only having it for less than a week, but I kept trying to use it anyway so I could see the quality of the product. So how this broke is that the center (the shadow) fell out of the pencil, then the shadow broke right in half! This product is not creamy at all, its very hard, and you have to push down hard and go over your eye many times to get it to go on and go on evenly. Mine tends to kinda go on chunky, which can be blended with my finger, but it shouldn't do that in the first place. Plus this "pencil" is very hard to find a sharpener that works good on it.
They Are Ok
I own twinkle teal & gunmetal, they are beautiful metallic colors. These liners are nice and creamy so they don't tug at your eye and glide on smoothly. These are not something you would use for your waterline, they just won't stay long and will transfer down to your lower lashline. I like to line my top lashline with these, but be sure to to put powder of the same color over it or it will smudge and transfer to above your crease. Another thing i like to use these for is a eyeshadow base, but be sure to use primer. I probably would buy some of the other colors.
Saved My Nails
I like to wear the fake nails you can get at walmart, the kiss ones, but the downside is when they come off or you take them off the glue completely drys out my nails so i have dry patches all over my nails. So I bought this producting not expecting it to really the dry patches go away, but within a day or 2 you could not see them anymore and my nails looked a lot more healthy. I love the tip on this, i sometimes push my cuticles back with it too. So far it has lasted me about 4 months and seems like theres still a good amount left and for a dollar I would say thats crazy good.
Worth A Try
I HATE the smell of this product, it smells like pine needles mixed with alcohol. But besides the smell, the products works good for me. As soon as I notice a new zit forming I roll this right over it, within about 15-30 minutes, the swelling and redness does go down and makes the zit cover-able with make-up. My zits do seem to go away a little faster when I use this, but of course it won't go away overnight. I do find that this does dry out the skin, so do not roll this all over your face, its meant to be a spot treatment.
Great For People On Camera A Lot
The HD powder is one of my favorite ELF products. The puff that this comes with is sooo smooth and silky feeling.. When I put the powder on I don't see any difference, but then I take pictures of myself and wow, it makes me look radiant almost. You can not feel this powder on your face at all. The packaging makes me so mad, they have this big plastic container and its not even filled half way to the sifter with powder, they are wasting plastic by doing this and its just so big i hate to bring it on trips with me. I also think for $6 they should atleast fill it half way.
Works Fine For Me
This goes on smoothly for me, doesn't tug at my eye, blends out easily too. I like to use this in the inner corner of my eye then add some white shadow over it. I also use this under my eyeshadow sometimes to make the colors pop a little more. I don't like the sharpener on the cap, it gets too messy, they should have just included a separate pencil sharpener. The other thing is I wish this was a matte white not a metallic/pearl finish. I wouldn't purchase this again only because wet n wild has one thats matte white for $1 thats more white than this one and just works better. But I do think it's a decent product.
Get One From The Studio Line
I ordered this on the E.L.F website, there were some good and bad reviews but I like to see for myself if something is good. Now I must say I don't have many brushes at all and most of them are from E.L.F so I can't really compare it to much. But I do have another brush just like this from E.L.F that comes with their mineral foundation. This is an angled face brush, what I use it for is contouring and highlighting my face and truthfully if I had a better brush I would probably just throw this one away. It does the job, just not that well because it's not very dense at all and the bristles are very flimsy. I usually have to hold the bristles so they don't move too much while I'm trying to contour, I think it's great for highlighting tho because you don't want to much product which can make your face look too shiny. Another downside is that the bristles are a little bit scratchy, which can make your face red. The top has not fallen off the handle surprisingly and the brush wasn't shedding until I had it for like 8 or so months, now it sheds bad and that sucks because it already doesn't have enough hairs to start with.
Wowwww
I am so in love with this, I went and bought 5 more incase it ever goes away. This is such a soft and gentle brush, I use it for all face powders. The density is perfect, the shape is amazing because you can use it for all over face powder but its also a little flatter than a regular face brush so you can use it for blush and even some contouring. I have no problems with shedding at all. I think every makeup lover should own this brush!
Blah
I was very disappointed with this item, I was hoping it would be a good highlighter for my face. First off I hate the tiny tube it comes in, it feels greasy on your face, it doesn't look natural and takes work to blend in.Sorry ELF but there is nothing I like about this product, a total fail in my book.
