Love the wax part

I have very sparse natural dark black brows. I like creating a brow that is a few shades lighter than my hair colour. I also apply this product with the tiny brush that it comes with. I think the wax on this product is very good. Combining the wax and powder in one palette is great! The mirror is a great size, you can use it on the go. It does go on smoothly and is the perfect colour if you have dark hair. The brush that is provided with this product is great for picking up the wax (I only use the side with the angled brush). The only thing with this dark brow kit is that the powder is too light for me. Not only is it too light for matching my black hair, but it also has this red tone, so it makes the brown more of a terra cotta shade. Red tone eyebrows do not work well on pale Asian skin.... So when I use this kit, I have to just use the wax and substitue another brow powder or even eyeshadow in a dark brown to set the wax. I use a separate angled brush to pick up the powder not the brush that this kit comes with. Sometimes I also like setting my eyebrows with translusent powder to make sure I get longer lasting brows. Since this product is $3 I find that it is still worth buying even if I cannot use the poweder that it comes with.

A must

This brush is cheap and good quality. I use this brush for my crease and I find that the angle is perfect for creating the outter V when I use eyeshadow. This brush is soft, does not shed when you wash it and it holds it shape. It also dries fast too. I would definately recommend this

This is a good brush

This brush is soft, picks up a good amount of product and does not shed after you wash it. I find that the brush is good for putting on blush and also powder since it is smaller than a powder brush it gives you better control. The only problem I have with it is that when you wash this brush and set it out to air dry, it takes about a day or two for it to dry completely. I guess since it is a fuller brush. I think if you do want to use this daily you might want to pick up a couple of them; since this is such an affordable brush. I would definately recommend this brush.

You get what you pay for

I'm not too crazy about this colour; when I saw the actual product, the colour was just a flat light orangy peach colour. The colour just goes on like a clear gloss. The twist applicator is nice, but there is very little product in the tube. I think the formula is a bit too sticky for my liking and it is not very long lasting. I did have to twist the product a lot before anything came out the first time I used it, but after that you don't need to twist it too much otherwise you might get too much product. I have ordered more of this product but in different shades to try. I guess I wouldn't recommmend the shade Flirt.

Good price for a good product

I really like that all the different colour corrective concealers are in one palette. It makes it easy to carry around and travel with. Aside from the great packaging, the concealers have a great creamy texture. A little bit of product actaully goes a long way. I actually only mainly use the last 3 colours of this corrective palette. I find that the green shade does help to reduce redness on my skin, but you do have to blend it well otherwise it will leave a little bit of a green tint on your skin. The pink and darker beige is great for concealing dark under eye circles, again this product needs a lot of blending to make it even out. Most importantly I do need to wear foundation or a matching skin tone concealer over this product, otherwise I don't recommend using this product alone.

HUGE miss

I was very excited for this product since it promises to stay on your eyes, very well priced and it came with a marker tip which is easier to apply your liner with. The major problem I've had with this product is that sometimes the liquid is already dried up in the new tube (I had order and been shipped 2 of these). The colour goes on very faintly and even if you apply many coat it still does not build to a dark black. I find that the marker tip is also very flimsy and kind of breaks at the tip so you don't get that fine tip marker to draw your liner with. Lastly, even though this product claims to be waterproof, it comes off with just some water on a Q-tip. It is not long lasting, at the end of the day you will find yourself without any liner on if you use this product alone. I would not recommend this product at all.

Cheap, but not worth it still

This product comes in a cheap plastic container and it comes with a tiny little angled brush that is quite useless. The eyeliner does give good colour and it goes on smoothly but I find that it does not last long at all. At the end of the day some of this product is on my face. I even tried setting this product with Urban Decay Eye Primer, but it still did not stay in place. Due to the cheap packaging this product also dries out very quickly no matter where you store it. It is a great price but not worth the money.

Disappointment

Great price for the product, but the price really reflects the quality of the brush. The bristles on this brush is way to hard. When I tried to apply blush to my cheeks, this actually pricks your skin. This particular brush also doesn't wash well, it sheds a bit every time you wash it. I have had good experiences with ELF brushes (even the other $1 line ones) but this one I do not recommend to anyone.

I wish this had more shades

This product is a great price. I also love the idea that this product is duo, the packaging is great; great for travelling and carrying in your makeup kit. I have very fair skin and this product is way too dark for me. Even if I just use a little bit of it I find that the bronzer (especially) is way too overwhelming on my skin. I love the colour of the blush especially because it has a bit of shimmer in it, but this colour again was too dark and not wearable for me. I really wish that ELF came out with more shade section for this product!

Not bad

This is the first face primer that I have ever tried, I wanted to try a face primer product first to see if I would like the overall effect that this kind of product would give me (without shelling out too much money at first). I got this product for a great price at IMATS when it was in my local area. Overall I would say that I do like how this product does keep your makeup on for longer. It helps to control the oil/shine that develops throughout the day. I don't think by using this product alone there is much coverage, unless you have flawless skin. Although this product does help to reduce a bit of redness on your face. It's not a thick formula, but it is still a bit hard to blend into your skin, even if you just take a little bit at a time. This face primer is a bit sticky, but after applying it all over your face you do have to wait and let it set for a bit before proceeding with the rest of your face makeup. I do however like the overall effect of this product, but I just think that there might be a better face primer out there.
