I haven't tried their brushes because I still own the ones I bought from Bobbi Brown a few years ago: $65 for a powder brush, etc.! And I hardly ever use most of them. Anyway, ELF supports the Humane Society and other charities, so I hope they're consistent with their principles all around. They also claim they're cheaper because they do next to no branding, have no overhead, and no advertising, like what generic drugs are to the pharmaceutical industry. The guy behind the ELF line also did Hard Candy (makeup) and Neutrogena for men. Hard Candy looks interesting too: vegan makeup?

I bought some makeup brushes at Target and they were scratchy and awful. The $30 brush I bought at Mac was fantastic, and the $28 Lancome one i bought before college is still in great shape! For makeup brushes (at least the bigger ones) I'd say quality is really important... Any idea if the E.L.F cosmetics and brushes are good quality and not tested on animals?
