Hydrea Bath Brush with Beech Wood and Sisal Bristles

Advantages: good firm bristles, light weight, clean shave,
Disadvantages: useless stand

...I bought this product for my boyfriend for his birthday as he wanted some new shaving products. It is a lovely feeling a looking shaving brush with a good set of bristles (which havn't gone dishaped or ragged yet after regular use.) It is small and light enough to travel with and is very effective at making a nice fluffy lather (helped by the stiff bristles which don't sag when wet). The only disappointment with the brush is that the stand is entrily useless and can only be used to hold the brush up in its packaging, not independantly as shown in the picture. The men U free travel shaving wash was a nice touch with the brush too, although we have yet to use it but it smells lovely. Overall a good brush for everyday use, but would not pay more than 15 - 20 pounds.... Read review

...in the UK. Quite a few salons, I have found mainly in the Midlands stock BareMinerals, and the salon I work in does also, and has done for several years - the customers love it! Since using Bare Escentuals make up on my face, I would never use anything else and I know alot of customers feel the same.

Advantages: Blends evenly, smooth and gentle to skin
Disadvantages: Expensive

...make up bag yet not too small that you will loose it, it looks pretty much exactly the same the BareMinerals Maximum Coverage Concealer brush but with a smaller brush head. The handle is long and black and remains clean throughout use and doesn't clog up and the bristles are brown in colour. The bristles themselves, I think actually look quite hard, but at first touch, you see this is not true - they are really soft, like running cotton wool over your skin. As the bristles are so soft, it means it won't irritate or scratch your skin but will apply your eyeshadow into your skin nicely and especially as it concentrates on your delicate eye area, it is slightly softer and more gentle than the other BareMinerals brushes. I have sensitive skin and ecezma on my face and sometimes on my eyelids and this brush is so gentle to that, it doesn't make... Read review
