What fun…a makeup brush review!

Eco Tools 6 Piece Brush Set ($12.99) is the kind of makeup brushes every earth-friendly beauty fanatic must have. They are 100% cruelty free! Meaning no animal died or was hurt in the making of any of these products. Yay!

Here’s what comes  in the set:

  • blush brush
  • eye shading brush
  • eyeliner brush
  • lash and brow groomer
  • concealer brush
  • cosmetic brush roll (made of cotton and hemp)

The makeup brushes also come packaged in a reusable storage pouch. I have no idea what to use it for, but its there.  Also theirs an earth-friendly tip on the back of each package.

Here’s the tip on the back of my package:
Green Tip: Turn the water off while brushing your teeth, washing your hands and washing dishes in order to conserve water.

I already knew that!…You did too, right?

They’re made of natural and recycled material:

My favorite item form the set is the blush brush.  The bristles are made of synthetic taklon, and they are super soft.  I use this brush to apply my blushes and bronzers.  It does its job and I don’t have anything negative to say about it.  I love it! 

All the other brushes are just as good.  

The concealer brush is soft, the tip is round and it works great.  The lash & brow groomer has worked for me.  I like that the brow brush isn’t extremely stiff.  And the lash comb is sturdy.  These two brushes both do what they’re suppose to do and I’m happy about that.

The eye shadow brush is soft, and thin.  But it doesn’t pick up eyeshadow that well.  It’s very similar to the size and shape of the concealer brush. 

So…I don’t use it to apply my eyeshadow.  Instead, I use it to apply concealer and eye primer makeup.

The eye liner brush. Now this one I absolutely love.  Its angled and thin enough to perfectly line your eyes.  It’s silky and an absolute must.  I love my eco-tool eyeliner brush!              

With most inexpensive brushes you tend to lose a few hairs when they are new but not with these.  I’ve used them to put on my makeup.  I’ve already washed them a couple of times and I haven’t experienced any fallout. 

These brushes blew me away. I mean for what I paid…these brushes are a true beauty find.

Tweezerman-eyebrows-hair removal tool-eyebrow pluckerFor a long time I thought that all tweezers were the same.  Girl…was I wrong!

Tweezerman Tweezers are worth getting becuase:

  • Made of stainless steel. 
  • The tips close with no gaps in between . 
  • You can get them sharpened for free.
  • Your bent tweezers can be repaired for as little as $5.00.
  • And if they’re damaged you can replace them for half the purchase price.

Honestly, it took me a long time to convince myself to pay $20 for tweezers.  But now that I’ve had a chance to try Tweezerman Tweezers…I love them!

So, if you pluck your own brows I am confident that you will absolutely love Tweezerman Tweezers.  These tweezers are amazing!  I don’t know what else to say about them.  But these tweezers are an absolute must and a great bang for your buck.

They succesfully grab all of those annoying stray hairs.  I mean don’t you hate it when you finally grab that ugly ol’ hair and it would slip out of your grip as soon as you were getting ready to pull it?  Ugh…I hated when that happened to me!

Well…that hasn’t  happened to me ever since I bought my own pair of Tweezerman Tweezers.

Now…I get’em and pluck’em every single time! 

Ahhh…now that’s satisfaction.
