My ELF Essential eye brushes

These brushes is the first eye brushes that I bought when I started wearing make up.. I only bought 3 eye brushes from their collection.. I bought the Eye Shadow Brush, Blending Eye Brush and the Smudge Eye Sponge..
Of all the three brushes, only the smudge eye sponge that I dislike.. 


I bought from an Indonesian online shop with a price around Rp 35.000,- ( $ 3.50 ) due to shipping and taxes.. But It's actually worth $ 1 in the website www.eyeslipsface.com or $ 1.25 in www.nonpareilboutique.com 
It's super affordable brushes especially for those of you who just starting experimenting with make up.. The handle looks and feels cheap, not as sturdy as Ecotools brushes or Essence of Beauty Brushes but they haven't falling apart yet.. The hair bristles are a little bit stiff but not scratchy at all..

Eye Shadow Brush


This brush is soft and packs on color really nicely.. This is my favorite brush among those three.. 
It can be use to pack on color on your lid and your brow bone too.. But I like it for my brow bone since this brush is too big for my lid (I have a small eye lid.. )
I would definitely repurchase again this brush for a back up..

Blending Eye Brush


This brush is stiffer.. That's why it's packs on color really well in the crease.. 
It doesn't blend eye shadow as good as I want it to be so I don't use it as a blending brush.. I use it to put medium tone brown or other medium tone color on my crease.. Works pretty nicely..

Smudge Eye Sponge


This one is a failure.. at least for me.. I didn't read the name carefully, I thought it was a brush instead of a sponge.. My mistake guys.. *_*
The sponge doesn't do the job at all.. It's kind a hard to smudge your eye shadow or your eye liner with this sponge.. But I hate wasting my stuff.. So I try to figure out other usefulness for this brush.. Finally I find a way to make it work.. I use it as an inner corner highlight brush.. yippiee.. ^^

So.. Overall.. The only thing that I suggest to all of you to get is the Eye Shadow Brush and the Blending Brush..
I do have another ELF Essential eye brushes that still on my wishlist items like the brow wand and the eye crease brush.. Other than that not really stood out to me.. 
Let me know if you have them.. and what you think about them..
All right guys..hope you like my review ^^.. Have a nice weekend
