Khymm! I really love the angled brush. Perfect for both liquid/cream bases and sheer blushes :)
Ok din ba for powdered mineral concealer yung concealer brush?
I saw those Marionnaud brushes in Watsons :-)
i've been looking for inexpensive brushes but i just didn't know where to buy! thanks for this post!
Khymm!!! Been seeing this at Watsons lately. Ok, okay, I will try! :)
I'm glad you like Marionnaud brushes too. :P The slanted blusher brush is awesome.
oooh! Ive seen these at Watsons! I tried the smaller brushes from the travel kit and they look real nice =)
The face brushes looks sooo great!
i was really surprised with these Marionnaud brushes.. akala ko they're just one of those cheap scratchy local brushes but damn i was wrong. i got the angled blusher and it was super soft, worked perfectly in contouring and blushing as well, and looked very professional too! :) i love, love, love it:)
Hi, are these brushes available only at Marionnaud MOA? Many thanks!
@ eight32 - bought mine at watsons =)
i want to try this too!!! kaso I'm in the province...dunno how to get one especially the blush brush! thanks for the review... very helpful sissy! :)
hi khymm, I have everything except for the concealer brush and same with yours, the least that I liked was the retractable brush. I am planning to purchase the concealer brush after your review.I like the long handle :) thanks!
I think you missed out on one point miss khymm.
I used the marionnaud concealer brush for applying my skinfood dark circle salmon cream concealer. It did pick up the amount I want, but it absorbed most of it. When I was applying, it was a bit stiff. the strands were quite thick, like plastic. Okay so I just used my fingers to pat the concealer. When I washed it, the material of the hair, for some reason, was not cooperating. The brush (due to the consistency of the concealer) suddenly became greasy after washing. THE CONCEALER MARKS WEREN'T REMOVED, sad to say. SO I had to wash thoroughly again.
So I let the brush dry in a tissue paper. The next morning, I was surprised to see the tissue paper had this violet stain. SO YES, THIS BRUSH BLEEDS PURPLE DYE. It did not shed though.
Good thing it only cost me around 70 pesos.
@ Lone Syndrome - try removing the concealer residue first before washing the brush. Im using Maybelline Lip and Eye makeup remover, tried it and it works =) the concealer brush didn't bleed too..
