Though the researcher in me found this at Strawberrynet for only $21.50 (free shipping), I am a smart buyer and didn't buy it because this is a Bronzing Brush. I am looking for a "powder foundation brush", a brush with shorter bristles and denser...
So I kept on praying...till one day..... someone answered my prayer....

Introducing, my
CHARM Kabuki Brush!!!
Introducing, my
CHARM Kabuki Brush!!!
Beauty & Minerals' Charm Retractable Kabuki says ---Have a charming kabuki with you wherever you go with this chic baby buki that is functional, and beautiful at the same time!
Askmewhats says ---Pros
Cons
Overall
I like this brush! I really do, just by looking at the bristles, I thought it would be very harsh on my skin, but I am surprised it felt soft, not scratchy at all.
This is always in my make-up pouch and I love using this with my MAC NC35 (which is a bit too dark if I use a sponge), best for retouch when I'm on the go :) No more sponges for retouch from now on!
Tips
Will I repurchase?
Yes.
Where can you purchase and how much?
Beauty and Minerals website
They do ship internationally too!
I don't know the exact amount of the brush for now, do send an email to Sophie/Tine at beautyandminerals@gmail.com
Askmewhats says ---Pros
- very handy, can fit in your small purses (length: Approx 4 inches)
- brush is soft (made of natural goat hair)
- brush can pick the mineral foundation or regular powder foundation without problems
- affordable, I believe it's sold less than Php1,000 (less than $20)
- does not shed, haven't seen it shed on me since I used it.
- multiple function : can be used to apply your blushes or face highlighter or bronzing powders
Cons
- smells, BUT, the smell is gone after 2-3 washes
- takes time to dry, but I'm ok with it
- the casing can be easily dent..if you're not careful <-- so far, I'm very careful! lol

Tips
- always wash the brush before letting it touch your face
- after washing, if you find the brush still smells, use it first, I find that using the brush will reduce the smell

What a cute brush!
ReplyDeleteso cute! IT's certainly flashy to have a hot pink brush in your handbag
ReplyDeletelove the color
ReplyDeletebtw i realised my review format is really similar to yours but yours is so so so so much better with much more info!
i sort of wrote my format based on different things i see and wikihow , so i am sorry if its so similar.
this concept is so nice! my buki has no cover and i can't bring it out :( now i see the solution!
ReplyDeleteyou said it smells but you will still repurcahse it? does the smell eventually wear off???
ReplyDeleteyou know what i asked these? i recently lost my BB kabuki brush in a swap. don't know where it is now... :(
i am on the look out to buy a new one. i am thinking about that super soft one I saw in Stage (local malaysia brand) but it is quite expensive at 145MYR (i think).
Thanks for another great review. i am addicted to your blog now.
Fuz, I am addicted to it because of it's cuteness!
ReplyDeleteConnie, I'm not embarrassed to retouch now !LOL
Yumeko, hey girl! YOu don't have to worry! Like I said, a lot of us beauty bloggers have the same "review" format because it WORKS :) Don't be sorry and I love your review format too!!! It's easier to read! :) Thanks for being such a sweetie though
Jojoba, It does smell but it wears off after uses and washings...now I don't smell it much not unless i really SNIFF IT! LOL Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I felt honored having you visit my blog!
