It has been a while since I have reviewed products on the blog and I thought it'd be a great time to pick up where we left off. As a beauty blogger, I am always on the hunt for the best beauty products whether it may be foundation, mascara, or lipsticks etc. But I seldom talk about the tools in which we apply makeup which I feel is equally as important. No matter how good of a quality product you own, if you are not using the right tools you are not getting the full product's worth!
When it comes to makeup brushes, I feel like I haven't given full effort into finding the right kind. I feel like I've committed a major beauty blogger faux-pas! But enough is enough! I've been doing my research and the lovely people at LAB 2 Brushes were kind enough to send me some brushes and although I don't want to spoil the surprise, I am very pleased!
These are brushes you can find at Walmart and amazon, with that being said, I love that the packaging is so sturdy and filled with information about the brushes and how best to use them! When compared to ELF and RealTechniques, LAB 2 gets an A+ in presentation.
The handles are also something to talk about. The thickness of the handle depends on the type of brush it is and I thought that was pretty special! It definitely helps your hand grab the brush and handle it with ease in the application process. The bristles are synthetic which is an advantage because they are better at picking up a lot of product and holding it without causing shadow fall out.
These are the swatches from the eye brushes and I am most happy about the flat eyeshadow brush. It picked up so much pigment from the glitter shadow and this was without eyeshadow primer by the way! The eyeliner brush is also impressive and I cannot wait to try it with some smokey eyes.
I've always steered clear of kabuki brushes, not because I didnt know how to use them but more because I haven't had the best impression of them. Using this, I was skeptic and was prepared for total disappointment. I have to say that I was impressed and the bristles are extremely soft! The bristles didn't fall all over my face which is what has happened before with previous kabukis. I love how small it is which makes it easy to pop into my bag and have it handy for when I need to mattify my face.
Here's a close up of the eye brushes:

Overall, I think these brushes are a win! They are inexpensive, high quality, and they were made with the consumer in mind which is very important. After trying these, I am already planning a trip to Walmart to get my hands on their other brushes. But I do want to state that although these brushes were sent to me, these opinions are my own. I would not say good things about a product if I didn't like it. I am very picky when it comed to my makeup application, especially my eye makeup, and I am glad these brushes have become a part of my growing collection.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! I will be posting again on tuesday along with a YouTube video so stay tuned for that! It was fun to make so I hope you all like it as well. Follow me on my social media for more updates and fun stuff! Until next time, xoxo!
