E.L.F Brush Shampoo

I ordered this from elf cosmetics online, i have used this on makeup brushes and my special fx brushes.
The brush shampoo was €4.00 for 4.1floz (120ml) ,which is excellent value.

What elf say about the product-
"An anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Washes away traces of dirt, makeup, oil and debris from your brush while conditioning the hair to provide a clean and soft application for every use."


This smells similar to the brush cleaner without the alcohol twang.The shampoo like the brush cleaner has anti-bacteria properties in it. which is brilliant from a hygiene point of view.I found that this product doesn't really lather up,you can really notice the product being removed from the brush.
It does remove makeup from the bristles leaving them nice and soft when they dry. Using it on my foundation brush it didn't remove all the product first go,but i washed it a few times to remove all the residue of the foundation from the brush.


I wasn't too hopeful Using this on my special fx brushes, most of the special fx products are oil based ,so it makes brush cleaning more of a chore. The shampoo removed some of the special fx makeup, but it couldn't remove it all without using a lot of product. And, as i said, i didn't expect it to, its not designed for it.so i definitely wouldn't form an opinion on that. i washed both sets of brushes on the same day so i tried it out.


Overall this product is good, i will continue using it on my makeup brushes.
