Best Makeup Brush Ever! (ELF POWDER BRUSH)

Those of you who read my last blog post know that I just recently received my first order from elf (eyes lips face).  Well, I promised that I would do reviews on some of the products I have gotten to try, and so now will be the first of those to come.  Also, on my last poll, product reviews was what you guys wanted the most, so I decided today I'd rave about my newest favorite brush!

A little background about me and makeup brushes: I really don't have all that many.  I literally didn't have any that I purchased separately until recently.  So maybe the best makeup brush ever is a little bit too high of a standard for you.  But let's just get right into it and I will tell you why it is my favorite!

Here's what it looks like:

The Details:

-flat top brush (pretty dense)

-synthetic 

-nice soft hairs

-3 dollars

Ok keep in mind this my first review on a brush before so don't get too upset. How about I just talk about why I like this and skip that list?  So this brush on the package says it is meant for powder and blush, but also says it can be used on liquid foundation. The reason I got it was because I wanted a better brush to apply my powder with. But I've heard some people say they use it with their liquid foundation and I am thinking of trying that but so far I've only used it for my regular powder (almay hydrating powder) and my  physicians formula happy powder. 

Here's a closer view that should help you see the detailed fibers of the brush better:

Well, let me tell you: it worked amazing!!  It was definitely the softest feel I've ever felt on a brush, and it applied really smoothly!  I kinda brushed it down my face, but also stippled in certain areas.  Once again, really soft!  This brush isn't really the most well known from what I can tell, but it definitely deserves to be.  I'd definitely recommend you try it out, since even if you don't like it the price is only 3 dollars.  

Rating: 9.5/10!!!

You can find elf products at target and kmart for sure, but I haven't seen this brush in any of the stores, so your best bet is to order it online.  My tip for elf ordering: wait for a sale!

Fav Drugstore Lip Product: Baby Lips (Mini Review)

Hello everyone!  Today will be my first time doing a product review on this blog :).  I can't wait to start doing full reviews, but today I decided to just start simple and do a mini reviews.  The products I will be showing you is one of my favorite lip products that I've lately been using on a daily basis.  Let me know if there are any specific products you would like me to review.  Keep in mind that I will be doing plenty more different reviews soon on face and eye products, but I just decided to start off with lips.  Hope you enjoy!

Maybelline Baby Lips
Just about everyone seems to know about this product, and it definitely seems to be that lip product that every girl I know has.

Quality: 8/10. It's a colored lip balm, so it's easier to apply than lipstick since you don't have to worry about messing up when you put it on.  It really helped with my chapped lips, but also gave a pleasant and pretty color to my lips.  I got mine in pink punch, and it has a nice taste to it.  Only complaint is that it's not super long lasting, especially after you eat.  So you probably will need to reapply.  But that's not really a problem since it's a piece of cake to put back on :).

Price: 9/10.  It's around 3 or 4 dollars depending on where you go, which is a decent price for a lip balm. 

Overall: 8.5/10.  This is definitely my favorite lip product right now that's perfect for school, going out, or just about anytime you want just a simple look and a little bit of color.  Super awesome drugstore product that works for just about anything!

Would I buy again: Yes.
