Beauty review: Coastal Scents Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush

Though I already made few post about the brushes I use and about some of Coastal Scents brushes, I often get e-mails where my readers ask me for more information about them so I decided to write reviews on each of the brushes I’m using with more detailed information. For my 1st review, I decided to write about my  Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush which is among my TOP 3 brushes when it comes to quality and how much I use it.

Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush is a brush which I’m using for applying my loose and pressed powder. It is definitely THE brush when it comes to that purpose (at least among the ones I’ve tried).  The thing about this brush is that it is smaller, flat and really dense. 100% synthetic. It is unbelievably soft and gentle when used! It’s a bit bigger than the kabuki brush (which I completely stopped using when I got this one) but easier to handle and to use.  I simply pat all over my face when applying loose or pressed powder which is less irritating for my skin than making many rounded moves. In the end, I simply blend out if there is any excess powder left.  It actually much nicer applying powder with this brush, than with kabuki brush – it looks nicer.

I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and I’ve washed it so many times and this brush doesn’t shred at all (I think I’ve lost only 2 or 3 hairs by now). Brush diameter is a bit larger after 6 months, but nothing notably.

You can get it at the Coastal Scents web site – here and its price is $14.95. With shipping costs it’s around $20.00 which maybe seems much, but trust me, for this brush it isn’t too much.   You can see more photos in the rest of my post with exact measurements of the brush.

Online shopping: makeup brushes

I often get asked where do I buy my makeup brushes/beauty products/etc. so I decided to dedicate a post to online shopping, and my 1st post about it is about buying makeup brushes online. For start, you musz have PayPal account. Most online pages do accept credit cards, but PayPal is safer  when it comes to online shopping just because in that case you give your credit card number to PayPal and then you simply use PayPal account for shopping.

As I already mentioned, this post is about buying makeup brushes online. To know which brushes I use, please read this post – link – because I don’t buy all my makeup brushes online. Some brushes – ecotools makeup brushes - I buy in local drugstores. They are available in sets and separately.

The rest of my brushes were purchased through Coastal Scents (CS). I prefer CS for few reasons: they have a huge choice of excellent but cheap makeup brushes which makes them affordable to everyone; shipping is barely noticeable;  they ship the very next day; customer service is excellent. I’ve tried quite a number of their brushes and I’ll recommend you few of them which are worth buying.
