ELF Ultimate Blending Brush Review

Hey Dolls!

ELF Ultimate Blending Brush

It's been almost three weeks since I put up a post entitled Beauty Haul #3 featuring Mini Reviews. In that post I hauled two new ELF brushes. I told you all in the review that I have not used these brushes at the time; I said I would give them a try and would review them at a later date. Well, that later date has come! Today I will be reviewing ELF's Ultimate Blending Brush. Wednesday I will review the ELF Contouring Brush. I will be reviewing both brushes with the same bullet point style that I do with of my other reviews. If you are at all interested in my other reviews click the link below. It will take you directly to all other reviews I have. With all that said let's jump into it!




Let's begin with product claims, price, availability, etc.

ELF says, "The Ultimate Blending Brush is specifically designed for advanced makeup techniques that help
achieve professional looks. The large dome-shaped head and densely packed bristles maneuver in and around the crevices and contours of your face for seamless, even coverage. It picks up the perfect amount of product to build coverage with powder, liquid, or mousse foundation, bronzer, or blush. The ultra-fine synthetic fibers are hand cut, shaped, and assembled by artisans for expert craftsmanship for a luxury experience."

This brush retails for $6.00 U.S. dollars and can be purchased only on ELF's website. I will place a direct link to this brush below. At the time of this review, this brush is available.

Onto the Pros:

• Dense
• Easy to use
• Soft Bristles 
• Blends like a dream
• Inexpensive

Next up... the Cons:

• Nothing!

Final Thoughts:
I really like this brush! It is dense enough to blend out foundation, blush, contour, or whatever else. It blurs harsh lines. However, it's not so dense that is is hard or uncomfortable to use. It reminds me of my favorite Real Techniques brush. (The expert face brush.) I honestly haven't touched my other foundation brushes since I began using this brush. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Anything else?
Yes. I recommend if you are trying to obtain a full coverage look, use stippling or tapping motions to press the foundation into the skin and buff or blend once most of the product has been stippled into the skin. This will create a flawless, full coverage look.

That's all Folks!

Cinnamon Detox Water

Hey Dolls!

Detox water has become extremely popular. So, I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and make my
own detox water. Let me tell you Dolls, this beverage tastes AMAZING. It almost tastes like tea or juice instead of water. It's amazing. If you don't like the taste of water or you don't like bland detox waters than you may what to try this recipe. Remember that this is a guide, you can add or remove any ingredients you would like. If you are allergic to anything just remove it and replace it with something else. I hope you all enjoy and let's jump into it.









What does this detox water do?
This water speeds up your metabolism and flushes toxins out of your system. Detox water is an excellent alternative to sugary juices and sodas.

What is the recipe?

• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 cups of distilled water
• 1 lemon
• Mint Leaves (Use as many as your heart desires)
• Pineapple (1/4 to 1/2 of a medium pineapple)
• Strawberries (Use as many as your heart desires)

Step by Step:

1. Add six cups of distilled water to a kettle.
2. Add 2 cinnamon sticks to the distilled water and allow the water to come to a boil.
3. Once your water has come to a boil remove your cinnamon sticks and allow it to cool.
4. Once the water has cooled a bit add in your fruit and mint leaves
5. Allow the water to sit in the refrigerator and become cold. 

Anything else?

Nope! Just enjoy your Detox water!

That's all folks!
