ELF CREAM EYELINER

I have never used any cream liners before, so I was really excited to try one! I wasn't sure if this one was going to be "good" or not, being $3 and all, but I think that this one does the job quite nicely. I even really like the packaging. It's all plastic, so there's not much weight to it, but I think it's nice. The liner is really smooth and creamy and I had no problems getting a nice, fine, controlled line on my eyes with this. I set the liner with a dark eye shadow, so I had no smudging at all, not sure how it would do on it's own. I'm assuming it would smudge alone, so setting it with shadow is a good idea. It stayed on all night and came off easily with eye makeup remover pads. **My favorite ones are by Almay** You can find this ELF product at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ or sometimes I find ELF products at Big Lots and some say Dollar stores sometimes carry this too.

To apply it I used a Bare Escentuals Eye Liner brush ($12) that I forgot to mention in my last review on BE brushes. This is a nice brush that I never really used before so it was nice to find a product to use with it. You can find this brush at http://www.bareescentuals.com/ or places like Ulta or Sephora.

BARE ESCENTUALS BRUSH REVIEW

**I started wearing Bare Escentuals makeup and using their brushes over 5 years ago. I have several brushes, which I collected in the first two years. I don't know if they have changed their brushes since then, so please let me know if they have.

I really like Bare Escentuals makeup, but feel like their brushes are far behind in quality. I had no idea how bad they were though until I bought a new set of brushes. They have always felt very harsh on my face. Even after many many washes, they have never softened. They didn't have any bleeding and had minimal shedding, but I just can't get past how hard they feel.

The ones I have are: 2 tapered blush brushes, maximum coverage consealer brush, refillable mirror compact, retractable flawless face brush, full coverage kabuki brush, baby buki, flawless application face brush, wet/dry shadow brush, and eye liner brush.

Out of all of these, there is one I like. The maximum coverage consealer brush is actually really nice. This is the only one that I still like to use. It's stiff, yet soft enough to feel smooth on my face. Other than that, the rest of my brushes get played with by my 2 and 3 year old daughters!
