This brush pretty quickly become one of those products I can’t live without and here’s why. I’ve noticed this brush few months ago in Sephora but at that time I was really on the fance about buying this brush so I decided not to. Then, I visited Sephora again, a month ago or so, and I was checking out this brusg AGAIN and then I finally decided to buy it. Soon after that I went to Sephora to get 2 more brushes. :D

Though this is a mineral powder brush, I use it to apply blush and also to contour my face. It turns out – this brush is perfect for that, especially for applying blush! Perhaps you may think this brush doesn’t seem like a good choice for blush application since it has quite dense and short hair (unlike regular blush brushes), but that’s exactly what it makes it so good!

Sephora mineral powder brush #45 vs. ecotools blush brush

The difference between using Sephora brush #45 and, for example, ecotools blush brush when applying blush is that I apply blush by making light circular motion on top of my cheekbones and that way I actually buff my blush into skin which makes it look smoother and I also think that’s the reason why it lasts much longer on me.

When contouring my face I again make light (even lighter) circular motions cause I don’t want to over do my contouring but since this brush is dense but soft it’s easy to control each application. When it comes to size of the brush, this one is indeed good for contouring, at least for my face.

And when it comes to applying mineral powder – I have to be honest and tell you that I haven’t used this brush for that since I find it too small, though it should be good for applying powder around nose area. To apply powder, I use this brush. There isn’t any other brush which could compare to buffer and flat top brushes when it comes to applying powder. Those are the best!

The total length of this brush is 15,7 cm / 6,18″ while only brushes measure 1,18″ x 1,37″. Handle of the brush is firm and good, it reminds me of Sigma Synthetic Face brushes, especially the F82 brush. When it comes to washing it – it’s really easy and simple and I haven’t noticed any shedding from any of these 3 brushes I have. Drying might be a bit slower but I wash all my brushes before going to bed and the next morning they’re all dry. And so is this one. :)

This brush retails for $10 in our Sephora, which is interesting since the price in the US is $26! What a difference, huh! Anyway, it isn’t expensive here so it’s worth getting. And I hope they won’t increase its price. :/

What’s your product of the week?

Recently essence Moonlight Collection arrived and here you could’ve seen what I purchased from it. Anyway, after few days I decided to write a review about this powder brush.

This is actually a powder brush, but I use it as a blush brush cause I think it’s more suitable for blush than for powder (it’s simply not big enough to use it as a powder brush). The design is really gorgeous! Simple black handle with pink/white bristles which are amazingly soft, but not too soft. Since this brush isn’t too large, actually, it’s more like a travel brush, so it’s perfect for carrying around in your bag in case you check on your blush during the day. This brush was cheap, it costs only 22,90 kn ($5.50). This price is really funny since the brush is awesome! Ofcourse, I bought immediately 2 brushes! Just in case, LOL. :D
