REVIEW: Elf Brushes.

I own the minimum number of brushes needed for makeup and wasnt willing to spend large amounts of money for a whole collection...although I do have a £32 MAC one -_- So when I saw how cheap the ELF ones were and how numerous beauty gurus raved about their powder brush, I had to get some. I own 6 of their brushes so far as most ones I wanted were sold out. Excuse the makeup left on the brushes btw lol =/

These are:

Elf Studio Powder Brush- I use this when I want a natural finsh for my liquid foundation by buffing it in. Gives a lovely finsh.

Elf Studio Angled Contour Brush- I use this for applying Elf HD powder under my eyes to set my concealer. Shapes well and nice to use.

Elf Eyeliner Brush- Use flat top to apply concealer around my brows. Applys nicely and fits in arch.

Haven't used these brushes much yet:
Elf Studio Contour Brush
Elf Defining Eye Brush
Elf Blending Eye Brush

Overall, i actually love these brushes, especially as prices start from £1.50! I have experienced no shedding from them which is shocking as my MAC 187 sheds all the time and was 20x the price! The brushes have good application and are nice to hold. I fully recommend and will be collecting the rest.

REVIEW: Broadway Artificial Nail Remover.

Personally I love acrylic nails but I easily start hating them when it comes to getting them off. The fact there is generally no easy or quick way to remove them really grinds my gears. Initially the plan was to get my nails refilled, but I got lazy (and broke lol) so swiftly popped into Superdrug. I've always used Elegant Touch's artificial nail remover, but I felt to try something different so picked up Broadway Artificial Nail Remover which involves sticking your finger in and twisting, as opposed to soaking your hand.

I really expected this product to remove my whole nail within a couple of minutes...it didnt. Even after soaking and twisting for over 25 minutes (the packaging says don't exceed 20mins) I still have a layers of acrylic on some nails. The endless turning and twisting made my arm ache and this product got extremly messy as the remover inside kept splashing out as I twisted and turned. The whole tub then eventually fell on the floor. Thats like £6 gone to waste...


Long story short...I wouldnt buy again -_-, nor recommend. If I was desperate to use this again, I'd simply refill the tub with the Elegant Touch Remover or do it the old way. Your best bet is to probably return to where you got them done to save time and energy.
