The lady at CVS said I might have gotten an old brush. I hope so, because this thing shed so much it was ridiculous. It also made my face itch. It made my makeup look good though, so I was...

My second favorite brush after the MAC 187. It buffs my MSF Natural in Dark very well for an airbrushed look. I never get compliments on my skin, and I've already received two in one day. I give...

This is an impressively plush kabuki which has proven just as effective as expensive department store brushes I've owned. Its only flaw is its light shedding, and hopefully the company will...

I have tried several of the mineral makeup lines and did not care for any of them because the coverage was over the top and not natural looking at all. Little did I know I was using the wrong...

Ah, the kabuki brush saga...I first tried the craptacular BE version, and it was so scratchy and prone to falling apart, that I had them send me a new one. It was no fluke--the new one was just as...

I'm a great CVS fan, and Essence of Beauty, one of their house brands, doesn't disappoint. I own BE, MAC, Trish and Bobbi Brown brushes that cost 4x this one, and think this is just as good. I also...

See my brushes pictures under profile. The best kabuki I've ever owned. I have BE, EM, Posh kabuki bruses but I really love this blond kabuki. I purchased extra for my desk (no, not for dust LOL)....

Why did I not find this 2 years ago?? I've been using it for about 2 months, and this is about 10X better than the BE brush and for less than half the price. Bristles are a little longer than the...
