Hello!
I ordered from iHerb quite a long time ago, but I haven't had the chance to write about it. Namely they have really good prices on all sorts of E.L.F. products and as I was in need of a few things I decided to try their stuff out.

Stipple brush was something I had been waiting to try out for such a long time, because apparently it leaves an airbrushed effect when used with foundation. The first annoying thing to happen was the handle part coming apart from the brush part. That's that, can be glued back together.
On first uses with my Avon tinted moisturiser I did not get the results I expected. Instead of an airbrushed effect it formed tiny clumps and looked very patchy.

I was quite disappointed and for some time I didn't try it again. At one point I decided to try it with my Maybelline Dream Pure BB-cream and that time it worked out well and looked nice and smooth. It's kind of a hit and miss. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.
It is nicer using a brush though because before I just used my fingers. Also the brush is nice and soft and the price was only 2.40$
I've never had an actual good blush either so the Tickled Pink blush landed in my order for 2.40$. The colour looks gorgeous, but unfortunately it isn't usable.
I can't get enough product on the brush to actually apply on my face. Even with my finger I have to rub very hard to get anything on it. It might be that I landed on a bad patch or the product has stayed in the package for so long that it's dried out and gone hard. In the iHerb review section people mostly have the opposite problem of it being too powdery and too pigmented.
I guess I didn't get lucky this time, but I'm thinking about trying some other blush from them, maybe a stick one. We'll see.

Thankfully not everything was bad and their mineral foundation is great. The tone fits me well and when I first thought the package is too small then now I think it's actually more practical. It is a bit unfortunate that the holes from which the product comes out are so big. That means that if it gets shaken too hard I'm in for a surprise the next time I open it. Let's just say that I don't put black jeans on before doing my makeup.
For 4$ it's a very good product and I'm really pleased I decided to get it.
I'm also very pleased with iHerb itself. This was the second time I've ordered and everything works like a charm. I don't really know how long the shipping took here to Estonia, but I can say it's faster than ordering from China.
As a bonus every user is given a code to share so other people can get a discount on their first order. If your order is under 40$ you get a discount of 5$ and if it's over 40$ the discount is 10$. My code is: ZZT469
