e.l.f Brush Shampoo Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This brush shampoo is pretty decent. It does however come in quite a small bottle!

The shampoo is clear and on the thicker side consistency wise. It has no fragrance. I found that it didn't go very far either.

It does a good job at removing makeup from the brushes and leaves them feeling soft afterwards.

I prefer to use baby shampoo with a tiny bit of dettol mixed in to disinfect as it is much cheaper, and does the same job!

Prior to this I had never used a brush cleaner - so I wasn't sure what to expect. This was only US $3 when I bought it, so I wasn't going to be too miffed if I decided I didn't like it.

This comes in a semi transparent bottle, so it is super easy to see how much product you have left. I really like that. I also like that the dispenser (it is one of those pop up ones), makes it easy to disperse product without it squirting all over you.

You only need a small amount of this to thoroughly clean your brushes (I use a teaspoon of this and that washes roughly 30 brushes). It has a light scent but it isn't overpowering.

Since having this I have used it around 5-6 times and my brushes are still soft and this doesn't leave any nasty residue on them (provided you wash it out properly).

In all honesty, I think this is a great brush cleaner and it does was your brushes really well BUT it doesn't really do anything more than my old routine (dishwashing soap and olive oil), didn't do. If you prefer the idea of buying a brush cleaner (as opposed to making your own), then I recommend this.

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.
