Worked well

This elf brush shampoo worked really well at getting oil based makeup out of my makeup brushes and bacteria. It has suds in it so it works the same as if you were shampooing your hair. Nice and cheap and safe to use on all kinds of make up brushes. I would use this again and recommend it to a friend.

Tips: For oil based foundations and concealers, really work the shampoo into the brush for a good clean for really dirty brushes you may need to shampoo more than once.

ELF Brush Shampoo

I purchased this at the end of last year of Kmart, originally because of the low price point. I think it works well, but not exceptionally, and won't be purchasing again.

The bottle is simple and transparent, so you can see how much product is in it, which is a plus. I find it difficult to control how much product comes out though. It either comes all out at once or I have to spend ages shaking the bottle to get any out. It is a clear gel-like product that doesn't have any particular scent, which I like.

It works well with cleaning all my eyeshadow and powder brushes, but not as well with brushes that have liquid foundation in them. I find I have to spend a while scrubbing at them, even when using my brush cleaning pad, and they don't turn up completely clean. I use it on my sponges as well and find that it does clean them, but it doesn't make them as clean as my beauty blender cleanser - although it is a lot cheaper!

This product works, but not as well as I'd hoped. I will continue to use it, but won't be repurchasing.

Does the job

A few months ago I picked up a bottle of this Brush Shampoo cleaner on one of my shopping sprees at Kmart. Im always on the lookout for a good brush cleaner.

Packaging is transparent can see the solution inside . Labelling is clear easy to read. The consistency of this is liquid solution that’s has a mild light musk scent .

This shampoo works well on my brush cleaning pad I got from Bonbon cosmetics. It seems to clean all my brushes with easy . I found it hard to remove my foundation from my foundation brush .

Overall it did an ok job . Not too good at my hard to budge foundation build up in my brush. I can’t see myself repurchasing this. Nothing special.

Nothing special

Overall i think this product is good, it does the job, isnt strongly scented and you dont need to use heaps, but i think theres nothing special, no wow factor especially in comparison to any other brush cleaner or soap used to clean makeup brushes. I think if i was to use it again it would only be for convenience and price point

Average

Overall, this is a good product because it does the job and cleans my brushes. However, it's nothing special and it isn't really any different to washing your brushes with anything soap based such as face wash, or hand soap. The packaging is square and so it is very difficult to squeeze out the product from it's container. How much you get out of the container is also uncontrollable because it just squirts right out in huge blobs or not at all. Squeezing a normal tube is fine but when I try and squeeze the product out of this, since it's square, the edges are sharp and so it actually hurts my hand which I'm not impressed with.

Tips: Mix it with water to dilute it

Elf brush shampoo

I was really excited to try this product as iv heard a lot of people raving about elf products and I have never tried them.

Anyway I was quite impressed with the brush shampoo. It didn't foam up at all which I wasnt too worried about (as I learnt when doing hairdressing a good product doesn't need to foam up to actually work) . It removed my make up really well. I was actually a little worried about how much make up was coming out of my brushes. I didn't need much product at all, I probably only used about a pinky nail size.

I applied this to my palm, wet my brush slightly, swished it around my palm a little and then pushed my fingers through the bristles from the base of the brush to the end of the bristles and it worked really well.

I found the shampoo to be extreamy thick it was probably the thickness of hair gel and it was quite hard to remove from the bottle. I had to tip the bottle upside and shake it really hard a few times to actually get a little dot of it out. If I was wanting to get a decent amount out I would probably be enclined to tip it upside down and leave it for a while then come back to it and wash the brushes.

Good not great

I purchased my e.l.f brush shampoo from Kmart for about $10 a few months ago. I was excited to try this product as I have only ever cleaned my brushes with detergent or hand wash (bad idea I know). This resulted in me having to purchase new brushes regularly so I hoped this product would make them last a little longer.

The shampoo didn't really foam up as I thought it would, I found I had to use a lot of product to cover all my brushes. It also did not fully clean my brushes or lift any of the foundation stains. It did however clean off all the makeup dirt and left them smelling fresh and clean. I don't think I will use this product to deep clean my brushes but could be good for light cleaning in between washes.

A great affordable brush cleanser

I have had my e.l.f brush cleaner for over 4 months and I still have a ton of it left. I was my brushes once a week, unless I have been using really intense colours. My brushes always look as clean as they were when I bought them after using this cleaner.

The cleanser is a thick gel like substance which you squeeze out of the bottle. You only need a little pea sized amount for most face brushes and a little bit less for eye and lip brushes. I do find that the container makes it hard to squeeze out the product as it is made of hard plastic. After squeezing it does leave the bottle looking a bit like it has been beaten up.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to shell out tons of money for a brush cleanser if you don't have very expensive of high quality brushes. Although in saying that I use it on my Real Technique brushes and it hasn't damaged them in any way.

Tips: Saturate brush bristles with warm water. Squeeze a pea sized amount of product on your hand and then rub the brush around in to it. Keep moving your hand to create different textures for the brush to rub against. Rinse with more warm water and the finish with a bit of cold water as you reset the brush shapes.

e.l.f Brush Shampoo

It seems to be a pretty standard brush shampoo, it does what it needs to and is cheap so I like it! It's the only brush cleaner I've ever used though so I don't know if there is some other holy grail brush cleaner, this works fine for me.

Pretty good cleaner

As everyone else has said, it comes in a nice transparent black bottle so you can always see how much is left. The bottle is nice and easy to squeeze product out of.

I haven't noticed a discernible smell to this product which I think is good as you wouldn't really want your brushes smelling of anything.

I will get a lot of washes out of this bottle, although it is small, you do not need to squeeze a handful of product out to get all your brushes clean. I usually get about 10 brushes clean using about 2 or 3 20 cent piece sized squeezes.

The reason I've given this such an average rating is that it is very good at getting all your powder brushes clean, it's not so good on cleaning the brushes that have had liquid makeup on them - I.E double wear foundation. I have to do my foundation brush 3 times and I'm still not 100% happy with the cleanliness of it. The other this I don't like is the price - I got this off a NZ website for something like $12 and feel it's pretty overpriced. Wouldn't pay this much for it again. I think I'll look at cheaper alternatives.
