Absolute must have brush

This brush is perfect for a multitude of makeup application. I saw Wayne's video on this brush, before it had a name. I was intrigued and as soon as I got the email from nils regarding the brush being available I hopped on it! I love this brush, it is as soft as he says and it really does help melt mineral makeup to the skin for an airbrushed finish.

I have also used this with my highlighters and blush and it blends it in perfectly! I will need to purchase this brush again when it is restocked.

It feels great in your hand, it's just a holy grail type of brush.

Best red you will ever use

I love, love, LOVE this red! It's perfect for wearing a classic pinup to a full on glam face. The formula is comfortable for a liquid lipstick and the wear time is fantastic. The consistency on these isn't too thick or thin so you don't have to apply multiple times, it isn't patchy or hollow like some other brands available.

Feels AMAZING

The texture is beautiful, the scent is delicious.

It really does leave my under eye prepped for the day and allows my makeup to go on so much smoother. I don't suffer much from dark circles but I have notices it does help with general brightness in the eye area.

best brow brush for ANY product

Even if you do not use Anastasia products, I would say you should get this brush. It really has the best density, angle and picks up product perfectly. I use it for dip brow but I also have used it for a regular powder shadow... and it was equally fantastic performance wise.

The spooly at the other end also is a fantastic shape and does not take all the product out but actually helps blend through. Totally worth the purchase.

Awesome formula!

I am a lazy daisy when it comes to taking off my makeup. I know that is terrible to say, but it is true. Wipes are awesome but get pretty expensive and honestly I have had the 500ml bottle for awhile now and I am not even half way through. I don't get any stinging and it doesn't leave my face feeling raw, which is awesome. Sometimes wipes get a little harsh on my oily/combo skin, I also threw the little guy into my kit and it is fabulous to clean up any boo boos with a cotton swab on my clients. Best makeup remover for my skin.

For a beautiful flush

I really can't believe I never posted a review about this blush! It is one of my most used because of the beautiful flush it gives the face. I like that it is super pigmented and that I can use it heavy handed or with more of a whispered look. It glides on easily, I recommend not using a super dense brush to apply, as it will pack on color like no ones business. I haven't used it as an eye shadow but I can see where it would make a nice monochromatic look if worn as both. It is definitely one of my go to blushes as it fits most any look.

Unique, soft and super high quality

I got the holiday brush in white, I figured it would be the hardest to obtain (and the hardest to clean but most likely worth it). I have not owned any of the brushes previously released by Goss. After watching his video about the brush and the functionality of it, I figured this would be a great introduction brush, as it seemed to be quite versatile.

I ordered the brush as soon as I got my email link, which was also my first purchase from beautylish. The process was fabulously easy, so I appreciate that, BL! I

To my amazement, it shipped the same day... And the next morning, I had the brush in my grasps. I can officially say I fell in love at first sight. Seriously! It was packaged meticulously, and the simplicity and sophisticated literature that came with it was very sleek.

The brush itself is so soft, a far cry from my other natural hair brushes from economy brands. The weight of the brush feels substantial, the shape is universal. What I mean is that I finally have a brush that can get into blushes or bronzes that are in smaller pans or palettes. I used it as soon as I got it, it applied my makeup like a dream, I used it for contour, blush and hilight and finishing powder.

The only downside, and this isnt that big of a deal since this will be my personal brush, is I cannot use it for a kit without compromising the bristles because of the need to clean it more frequently. So I am still waivering on purchasing more goss brushes since I do need to replace my kit, before I replace my own brushes.

Pretty excited about the brush still, it has been working like a dream with minimal shedding.

Amazingly stunning

I am pretty pale, I have no business buying something that looked this dark.

I am sure glad I did! This was something I knew I could use either way, on me or on clients. This product gives my contour the depth of losing 10 lbs (which I could stand to do) without making me look so unnatural in color. A little does go a long way... and if you're fair skinned like myself, be light handed with a not as dense counter brush!

theBalm packaging is always super cute and sleek so this makes it ideal to travel with you.

If only it could also buy me a drink...

Let me start by saying that I love wet mascaras, and this is indeed a wet formula.

This one is probably one of the biggest bristled wands I have ever used but the unique shape does serve it's purpose. The formula coats my lashes evenly, I do have to be careful of transfer though, if your lashes are medium to long lengths, you will probably get this on your lid if you are not being very careful.

This mascara is very, uber black. Which I love. The blacker, the better. It builds volume with one coat, it build miracles with two. The one thing I would suggest to those who are not enjoying this mascara, wipe off one side of the brush and as you roll the mascara up the lash, it will help from getting too thick toward the ends and create definition, but keep the base of the lashes thick towards the base. Doing this will also help the brush grab some of the lashes to maintain it's curl, since I noticed that if I keep building up, sometimes the curl falls out.

Overall, I am very pleased. I do notice a bit of flaking after a really long day, however, this happens to me with every mascara I use.

Thatglowtho

This is probably the perfect powdered cheek highlight. The luminescent glow it gives is stunning. Sometimes powdered lighters struggle to give that sheen that cream products tend to portray better. This product, however, is the perfect healthy glow. It is super pigmented, so be cautious, use a light hand. This product blends beautifully on the skin and even emits radiance when topped with foundation (sheer to medium.. I'm sure full coverage will in fact... Fully cover). I love it!
