I recommend their flat top studio powder brush for applying mineral foundation. It's soft and doesn't shed or become brittle, and it's only $3!

Loving "Lip Lock" by e.l.f. It keeps your lipstick from feathering. It's clear color & comes in a pen style product for $3.

YES! Things I really like: the lip exfoliator, the brush and Beauty Blender cleaner, some of the blushes, many of the BRUSHES,

Well, I know I love it! Saw Emily Noel on youtube talking about it and bought it. Now I have bought it for everyone I know! And it is only $3.

I've tried a lot in the line but the only items I'd repurchase is a brush & the eyelid primer.

Thanks--I actually have the exfoliator but haven't used it yet! I appreciate the feedback!

I only have the powder brush and the brush cleaner. I would definitely try more of their brushes.

I like the eyelid primer, makeup setting spray, and a lip exfoliating product that comes in a tube like a lipstick. Some of the brushes are really good, too. I use an e.l.f. eyeshadow brush and a shadow blending brush.

Brow kit with pigmented wax, and powder, but the brush could be improved on. Sometimes I hesitate since the line is made in China. They are now offering a skin care line too.

-- I agree about China. I try not to buy mu from there (and less of everything else if poss.), so I only use ELF brushes.

The other day I picked up their e.l.f. Essential Cover Everything Concealer in the medium tone. Wow....really good product and only $2. WAY better than any of the higher priced concealers I've tried here on Q.

Ditto. I purchased a kit for some ridiculous price (Disney villains) because the artwork on the packaging was terrific. The shadows and primer were good, brush was surprisingly good quality. Nail polishes; not so much.

I also have a chubby stick eyelid primer with a concoction at the opposite end that turns eye shadow into eyeliner! Great it theory; not so good in practice but I adore the primer!

Last month I bought the HD blush "headliner" color. it is a liquid blush that has a pump. it goes on so smoothly, and is buildable. only $3 at Harmon's. I love it at this price.

I have heard such good thing about the ELF primer, so I bought this product too (it was the only version of their eyelid primer I could find in store). I thought it would replace 2 of my BareMinerals essentials...the Weather Everything liner sealer and the PrimeTime eyelid primer. I haven't tried the sealer part yet (the applicator is offputting?) but I am not at all impressed with the primer. It doesn't keep my eye makeup in place at all. I have oily lids and I think this primer is just too creamy for my purposes.

I also bought an ELF liquid eyeliner though, and I love it. I thought I might need the liner sealer over it (I'm used to a waterproof liquid liner) but it stays in place fine, and I much prefer the ELF brush applicator to the felt-tip on the Loreal liner I had been using. This one is definitely a winner!
