Small E.L.F Haul



Firstly I apologise for the bad quality of the photos, they captured fine but seemed to loose quality once I uploaded them to this post.

I quite enjoy buying from the ELF website, it's easy, convenient, reasonably priced and there is so much to choose from. There has never been anything I've bought from here that I've been really disappointed with. To be honest I don't have the highest expectation for some products due to the pricing but usually I'm fairly surprised. by the quality.

What I bought:
Fan Brush - £3.75 here
*Translucent High Definition Powder - £6.00 here
Baked Eyeshadow - Enchanted - £3.75 here
*Clear Eyebrow & Lash Mascara here
Eyebrow Kit - £3.75 here



* Ive used the High definition powder before which I mentioned in my Empties post here & also the Clear Eyebrow & lash mascara which I have used for a couple years, I've never used the lash mascara because I'm not quite sure why you would use it but I use the eyebrow gel almost every day.

Do you like to buy from ELF? Do you like the quality?
If you have anything you would recommend me to buy then let me know.

No.7 Cleansing Face Brush

No.7 Cleansing face brush - HERE

I've been looking for a good cleansing face brush for a few months and it seemed that every one I found would have cost an arm and a leg.. so expensive! I really enjoy using a lot of No.7 products and since this brush was not on the extremely expensive side I thought I would give it a whirl. This Brush retails at £24.95 but I had a £5 off voucher for No.7 so this product only cost me £19.95..hurray! It comes with 1 cleansing brush head and includes batteries. You can buy the cleansing brush heads separately for £8 but again I had a £5 off voucher so it only cost me £3.
 It is recommended that you change the brush after 3-4 months but me personally I would change after 1 1/2-2 months due to using it on a regular basis. If you shop in boots frequently you will know that a lot of the time they will give you a voucher for No.7 products at the till when you're paying and honestly last year I use to throw them away with my receipts thinking I would never ever use them but my gosh I would have saved so much money using them.

How I use it: 2-3 times a week
I take my eye make up off using Nivea Visage cleansing wipes for sensitive skin
Dampen my face 
I use my No 7 Foaming Cleanser concentrating on my forehead, cheeks and chin - avoiding your eyes and mouth at all costs.. it doesn't taste too good!
Then using my Cleansing face brush I will use the first of 2 speeds and gently massage the cleanser into my face for 1 minute and then using the second speed I will cleanse for 30 seconds.
I then wash away the cleanser using my face cloth and warm water in a patting motion.

Results - I feel this removes all the dirt and make up off my face leaving it feeling cleansed, smooth, clean and fresh. 
It doesn't leave my face feeling dry or irritated, it unblocks my pores and doesn't leave my face looking shiny (which is something I really dislike).
What cleansing brushes have you used? Where they worth the money?
