When building my first brush kit, this brush was one of the first brushes that i purchased. even then, i admired and enjoyed the softness of the bristles and the sturdiness of the handles, however, i do not like the way it picks up product and find the sytnhetic bristles to be inferior to that of real haired brushes.

The Body Shop brushes are a good and affordable option, rather than buying MAC or Bobby Brown. Brushes are about R90 each.

I have one of these brushes, and really love how soft it is! Some brushes are so stiff, they can take the skin off your cheeks. This one is really gentle and pleasant to use.

I love the Body Shop powder brush. It is much larger but has a similar design. The Blush brush is exactly the same quality but I don't find that it works as well. The main reason is that it is long and flat. That makes it very awkward to apply blush as you cannot swirl into the blush. You can only swipe it on the side and then go with the same side on your cheek. As a result you get the stripe effect that is hard to blend. If you try buff the blush in to smooth it out, the hairs of the brush get crissed-crossed and tangled.

I am disappointed that I paid so much for it yet I never reach out for it to use it. My R35 buck Essence brush works much better. Even though the actual quality is great (it is soft and doesn't shed), I wouldn't recommend this.
