Beauty Product Reviews

Fantastic

I have switched completely to clean beauty, but have to say that CT has the best eye and lip makeup that conventional makeup can offer. This eyeliner stays put once set, but it is very creamy and can be diffused too. Great colors.

No frills, great ingredients

If you want no frills, specific ingredients then The Ordinary is a great brand. I got this because I wanted to try some active ingredients and see how my skin reacts. I mainly wanted to make sure I don't have any adverse reaction. This product is great for that- as it combines several anti aging actives. I would not say I saw any real results as you cannot expect a lot for $15, it would be unfair. But for testing the ingredients for sensitivity, this is a great brand with unmatched pricing for clean formulations.

Setting brush

I am a fan of Sonia G and Hakuhodo but this is by far the best brush for setting the under eye. It is so soft and puts the perfect amount of product for setting the under eye. You can use it for setting the whole face too. Great investment you won't regret.

Wow- underrated!

I am a huge fan of Sonia G and Hakuhodo brushes but needed a multi-tasking eye brush for powder products. This brush is a great brush if you want to use only one brush for application and blending. I take this when I travel. It has a tip so it can be uysed for targeted application. It also blends products quite well. Its easy to clean. Very nice.

All rounder face brush

This is a great staple face brush. It is a multitasker and can be used for powder and creme, although it works better for powder. I have to say I prefer the Hakuhodo J210 as I feel the bristles are better quality and it sheds less. But this is a great brush nevertheless.

Perfect for powder products

I am usually a creme products person as I feel they blend better. But I wanted to have a multitasking face brush for when I want to use powder blush, contour, bronzer, or highlight. This brush does it all. It is especially great for application of powder contour. It places product perfectly and so easily. Blending is so easy as it keeps the contour line but diffuses it so it looks natural. Lovely!

Perfect for targeted application

This is an excellent brush for powder products where you need targeted application. I mainly use this for lining my upper and lower lid with powder shadow (instead of eyeliner). It gives a lovely light application if used with a light touch. You can also layer with this and it keeps building color. I also use it in my crease sometimes if I am looking for a dramatic look. It keeps the shape after washing.

Exceptional quality as usual from Sonia G.

Perfect for application of smudged eyeliner

I apply my Victoria Beckham or Eye of Horus eyeliner on upper lid. I smudge the liner with this brush and it smokes out the eyeliner perfectly! It does not eat up the color and diffuses it perfectly without any edges. Very little effort required. Love it, completely worth it!

Sonia G never disappoints

I am a huge Sonia G fan and her brushes are by far the best overall.

I wanted a natural bristles' brush that could work for cream blushes and highlight. This that brush. It places product beautifully- not too pigmented and not too light. It blends beautifully. I have been using this brush with Kjaer Weiss and Westman Atelier creme blush, WA creme highlight.

Sometimes, I use it to blend concealer and it works great for that too. I apply my Ilia or Han concealer with fingers, then blend with this brush, then lightly apply 14e setting powder with this same brush. There is no piling.

Highly recommend!
