| An anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Washes away traces of dirt, makeup, oil and debris from your brush while conditioning the hair to provide a clean and soft application for every use. |
Back when I was in lawschool, cleaning my brushes was such a breeze. I would usually do it once a week. Now, with a full time job, cleaning my brushes became a hassle and a burden. I even thought our maid how to clean my brushes. I am not very particular with the product I used to clean my brushes. Often, I use laundry bar, dishwashing fluid, shampoo or even body wash. I prefer using a laundry bar because it incredibly gets all the gunk and oiliness from my brushes and it removes all the stains.
This is my very first time to use a product specifically designed to clean the brushes. The product came in a clear liquid gel form. It has a faint scent that I cannot describe accurately because I am plagued with colds. I intently read the directions and followed it.
 |
I have tried using it on my flat top brush. After two tries of washing it with the shampoo,can you see that it did not remove the dirt at all?
Sadly, this ELF Shampoo Brush does not work especially with brushes that have oils due to liquid foundation or bb cream. It somehow cleansed the brushes that I used with powdered products but does not remove the stains completely. This shampoo does not suds up very well. As evident on the above picture, it did not create even the slightest soap foam. |
 |
Just a quick tip for drying your brushes! I noticed that placing them in a standing position with the bristles pointing down on a towel makes the drying process faster than laying on the towel. It drains all the water from the brushes and even on the ferrule (the metal part) very well.
I know a lot of you will say that laundry bar is not a good brush cleaner, so please, if you have any recommendation, I would love to hear it!
Have a blessed weekends to all!

| Happy New Year everyone!! I will be explaining why am I MIA for days at the end of this post. This is my first post for 2012. Whoa!!! I told you before that I am going crazy over neutral eyeshadows. The fact that weeks from now, I will finally get a job prompted me to buy a more travel friendly palette that will not hurt my budget. ELF saves the day. I have been seeing a lot of palettes being sold at ELF stands. This warm palette caught my attention. | |

When I asked the SA to open the palette so I could see a better view of the shades included, I was really amazed with the shade selection. You get matte and shimmery shades all in one. There is a mixture of pinks, berries, taupes, browns, highlighters and dark shades perfect for smokey eyes!!! I absolutely love it! The pigmentation is awesome too especially the shimmery ones.
 |
| It comes with a mirror and a brush applicator. The packaging is very flimsy though. |
Here is a closer look at the shades:
 |
| The shimmery ones have very nice and creamy texture. Some matte eyeshadows are very powdery and the color hardly come off when you swatch them. So, you have to double your effort building up the shade. |
Here are the swatches of this palette:
(These are bare swatches; I did not put any primer.)
 |
| This part is the highlighters and lighter shades. |
 |
| Brown shades |
 |
| Pinks and berries |
 |
| Dark shades which are perfect for smokey eyes. | | |

Over all, this palette is really good!! I really love it and this is better than my 28 neutral palette!! The shades are perfect for everyday wear and also for night outs. This costs only 399 pesos or 5 dollars at ELF website.
Why am I mia for the past days? My grandfather died last Dec. 27, an hour after I finished blogging about my Cream of the Crop post. I still can't believe he is gone. This is my worst fear. I love him so much because I grew up with him. He actually has more pictures in my cellphone and camera than my dad and mom combined. I am tryong my best to carry on with life without him.
Ours for a moment, God's forever. I will miss you lolo. You know how much I love you. :c
Godbless everyone
I will be doing my giveaway post and reader of the month segment soon.
