AMW Reviews: Charm Luxe Kabuki

Happy first day of February!  My favorite month of the year!  Since I am talking about a favorite month, let me tell you something about my favorite Kabuki brush that I reach out every morning for the past months!  It's the kabuki brush from the Ecotools Mineral Brush Set.  *gasp* Surprising right?  I haven't been talking much about it so it's definitely on the "Unsung Hero" list.

I've been reaching for this specific brush because it grabs the pigments quite well and its not scratchy at all!  But life is really tough, there will always be a sexier, prettier and more seductive K-brush (that's how I'll call kabuki brushes from now on hahaha) that'll come along to sweep me off my feet......

 

Charm Luxe Kabuki says --- 
Charm Luxe Kabuki is perfect for buffing in mineral makeup, loose powder, or mineral finishing powder. It's made of synthetic, vegan hair. So soft, that it glides like velvet on the skin! It comes with a pouch that you can bring your Luxe Kabuki anywhere, without the mess! The pouch can also house one minipot.

AMW says ---

Pros
  • very soft
  • no shedding or bleeding (at all!)
  • comes in cute pink pouch (photo below from Beauty & Minerals site)

  • very handy and looks super cute
  • no scratchy feeling
  • made of "vegan" hair which makes it kind to animals
  • no weird scent
  • price is affordable
Cons
  • can't find any! Maybe too cute that this can get stolen? hahaha
Overall
Physically attractive, quality lives up to expectation at an affordable price!  Definitely a must have for mineral foundation user or even pressed powder users who loves to use K-brushes like I do!

Tips
  • always wash the brush before using
  • use a gentle brush cleanser or make your own
  • let dry completely before you start to use this brush
  • never store brush inside pouch if semi wet, could create molds *eeeww*
  • dry the brush laying down, do not stand it up to prevent the glue from getting wet

Will I repurchase?
 I don't plan to repurchase, 1 is enough but I'll definitely tell my "K-brush user" friends about this

Where to purchase and how much?
Php580.00 (approx $12.60) at Beauty & Minerals website

My 2 favorite K-brushes for the moment

  

What's your favorite K-brush?
Have a great start of the week!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  2. i love the softness of the ecotools kabuki brush but i find the handle too short and small... i'm currently in love with my mufe hd kabuki brush... the handle is perfect! just the right thickness and a little bit longer than most kabuki brushes.. plus it's super dense and sooo soft!

  9. OMGGGGG that is just too cute!!! LOL! I'm actually looking for a new kabuki! I'm currently using the EcoTools retractable one since my baby kabuki got scratchy (I am so sad about this too, it was like my favorite brush ever!) and it's a little annoying to wash every week... =/ I think I'm going to try out their bronzer brush as a kabuki first and see how the coverage/finish is, but I so want this just for the pink teeheehee.
