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.
This was the first ever brush cleaner I have ever used and was really unsure what to expect from this as it was quite cheap compared to other brands.
I was shocked when I first received this product as it is such a small bottle and I was expecting bigger. I do love how it comes in a dark transparent bottle which makes it easy to see how much product is left. Also, how you get the product is neat as you can control the amount instead of accidentally tipping out o much.
The results however when using this brush shampoo was amazing as it removes stains from your brushes instantly. I have found that my brushes have kept there shape well and are super soft.
I really love the scent of this product as it isn't overpowering like Baby Shampoo and the scent doesn't linger on your brushes.
Before this I had never used a brush shampoo before, thinking of it as an unnecessary product. I picked this up from Kmart when doing an ELF shop although you can get it for much cheaper online.
I really like the packaging. At first I thought the bottle was rather small for a shampoo but I've had mine for over six months and still have some left, you really don't need to use a lot. I like the semi-transparent, dark plastic bottle as it allows you to see how much product you have left and the cap is great for dispensing as much or as little product as you like.
The formula itself is a clear, unscented gel. A little goes a long way and it works well with warm water to easily remove the make-up from my brushes.
I know I could make my own brush cleaner but I'm more than satisfied with e.l.f's and I will be repurchasing again.
Tips: Wash and dry your brushes upside down to avoid getting water into the ferrel. I find my brushes only need cleaning on top so there isn't a need to fully submerge them.
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.
