review: ELF blending brush






compared to a mac 224



LIKES:

- cheap! ( $1 at eyeslipsface.com ) or P 129 locally
- locally available ( watsons, sm department store, robinson's department store)
- perfect for girls with smaller crease area
- soft bristles.
- soft enough to multitask. use it to blend concealer for under eye circles
- stiff yet fluffy enough to blend
- very dense
-

DISLIKES:

- sheds A LOT.
- picture on the website can be misleading
- might be too small if you have a bigger crease area

OVERALL

i really love this brush. it's shorter and denser bristles fit into my crease a lot better and i can blend more precisely with this brush because it's not as fluffy as other blending brushes. i hate how it sheds like crazy, but for $1, who really cares? i already have two of these and plan on buying more for back up :)

WILL I REPURCHASE AGAIN? yes! yes! yes!

review/demo: desert essence 100 % jojoba oil

LIKES:
-can be used for hair, skin, nails and scalp!
-no nasty smell
-available in manila ( got my at healthy options)
-absorbs really well
-its's light
-can be used as a makeup remover
-moisturizes my cuticles well
-does not make my hair greasy ( i use this mainly on my hair/scalp)
-lasts forever
-it's all natural

DISLIKES:
-it's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for
-the lid bothers me, sometimes i squirt out too much , sometimes not enough

OVERALL:
i use this mainly on my hair and i have to say, my damaged and dry hair is now smooth, frizz free and sooo shiny! i have yet tried this on my skin because my face is acting out lately and i'm hesitant to slather "oil" into my skin. even though reviews have touted this product to clear up acne! i don't want to take a chance on it yet.

WILL I REPURCHASE AGAIN?

yes yes YES!! i can't believe how healthy my hair looks now. even my sisters and mom commented on how much my hair has improved. my mom even asked if i trimmed my hair coz it looks healthier!

RATING:

/ 5



i'm almost running out so i went ahead and bought the big bottle!



3 drops is all i need for my fine shoulder length hair



apply it to damp hair"



concentrate mostly on the ends



if i have time, i wrap my hair back in a towel and let the oil penetrate into my hair even more



read this!

i don't have after pictures, but i will soon okay lovelies?? but take my word for it, this stuff works!!!! especially on damaged and dry hair!! i thought my hair was a lost cause and cutting it was the only answer, but i can finally grow out my hair, because this stuff made my hair look and feel healthy again!!!
