Sivannah Foundation Brush February 12, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — mygaia13 @ 2:14 pm

This is my very first official foundation brush. The hair is synthetic, the handle length is just right and it’s perfect for applying my mousse and liquid foundation. I found this brush when I was just window shopping at Festival Mall. There’s this kiosk selling soaps, vitamins and make-up stuff. I spied this along with other face brushes, I bought one right away which costs P150. I first used this with my mousse foundation and application was perfect, no streaking and it blended the foundie well. With liquid foundie application was also perfect and I really think that using a sponge or a brush is better than just using your fingers, I mean it’s more hygienic and if your like me who’s acne-prone you can never be too careful. After a week of buying one I decided to get another for emergencies. I always wash this brush every after use so when I get lazy at least I’ll have another one on hand. I realized when I bought my second brush that the first one I got is slightly less packed than the other one. It’s no biggie they both work just the same.

I’ve had this brushes for more than a year now and they both still look and work great. I had a bit of mishap with my first brush the ferrule kinda split with the handle but nothing a good glue can’t fix.

I recommend this if you ever spot this brush somewhere, it’s not very easy to find though.

Blusche face brushes November 7, 2008

I bought 2 pre-buy brushes from blusche.com specifically the Flat Top face brush and the Angle blush brush. I’ve been wanting to buy myself a flat top brush for over 3 months now, since a lot of gals said that this a great brush for buffing and stippling on foundation powder or liquid. So when Blusche offered a pre-buy brush discount for P276.50 from the usual P500 I went ahead and ordered myself one. After a few days I thought that I have never used an angled blush brush before so I ordered again and asked Monica if she can combine it with my FT order, she obliged me and for that I think they have great customer service. By the way the angled blush brush was priced at P245 from P400.

So after a month I think of waiting I got an email from Monica that said that the brushes were already sent out. The next day the brushes came and I was soooo impressed with this brushes. They are really velvety soft and sooo cute as well. I love the short handle because they fit so well in my small hands. The feel of the synthetic brush feels so wonderful you wouldn’t want to stop brushing it on your face, it’s crazy. I’ve heard and read a lot of those who have the Blushce FT and the EDM FT and how both brushes are so comparable that if you can’t see the the EDM logo on their FT you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the 2 brushes. So I say I got a great deal with this brush because it was cheaper.

So do I have any gripes with this brushes? With the FT none whatsoever, it works really quite well because as of the moment I only use this to set my foundation. The angled blush brush was also great but I find it a bit too big for contouring but for applying blush on the apple of your cheeks it was great, better than my usual tapered blush brush.

On an extra note they were also giving out freebies with the pre-buy brushes, I got a couple of sample lotions from their Skin and Body line Naturally by Upper Canada. I got Wild Mint Lime and Red Tea Grape.
