The Body shop .....Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

Advantages: proberbly better suited to a loose body glitter
Disadvantages: too messy the product its supposed to be for will go every barr where you want it to

...I purchased this when i bought my latest mineral powder , and have to admit found it pretty unsuccessful for applying mineral powder. I loaded up my brush and shook of the excess which is my usual way but it seemed to have vanished up inside the bristles and when i tried to apply the powder i was grateful i was wearing my cosmetic toweling dressing gown because it seemed to go everywhere apart from my face , needless to say i have now banished this to the bottom of my make-up bag. I think this would work better if it was a little longer in the handle and the bristles were a tad shorter , until then i shall leave it where it is or find something else to use it for , maybe applying blusher or loose body glitter....

Brush Up

Advantages: A great little must have for the face, stimulates circulation and smooths skin.
Disadvantages: A bit hard to keep clean.

...Review of The Body Shop Facial Brush. This little piece of equipment from The Body Shop is something that I had never seen before, and I currently use a Body Brush to exfoliate and help circulation, so I wanted to give it a go for my face too! I have combination skin that is prone to slight acne on the chin area and some dry patches on my forehead. I have purchased the newest version of the Facial Brush which is a small brush with an easy to hold bottom for hand-help use and cap to keep in clean. Price: This item was only £2.90, which I think is great it will last me a long time. Product: Ok it?s a brush, but it has so many useful parts to it. It is small for starters-and a nice clear colour with the white Body Shop logo on the top of the handle. The bristles of the brush are very soft and are placed in a circular way...

Review of The Body Shop Facial Brush

Wonderfully soft mineral make-up brush.

Advantages: Good quality and works well with mineral powder, and cheaper than other high end brushes!
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with a case or anything to protect it.

...I have been wanting to try a good Mineral makeup foundation powder for a while now, and I understood that with Mineral foundation you need a good kabuki brush as mineral makeup powder is very fine and light. A Kabuki brush is a small brush usually with a dense head of bristles or dome shaped. If you wear mineral make up then a good kabuki brush is classed as essential. Mineral make up is a loose powder foundation that is very natural and good for all skin types. There are no perfumes, nasty chemicals or preservatives. When using a normal make up brush with a minerals foundation it can look a bit too heavy, but using a good brush designed for use with mineral make up ensures that it looks natural and gives an even courage. I was looking over the Mineral makeup powder in the Body Shop when the assistant offered to try some of the powder...

Review of The Body Shop - Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

A high quality brush for those rosy cheeks.

Advantages: Blends the blusher in nicely.
Disadvantages: Very pricey!

...I got my Clinique Blush Brush in a gift I got from Clinique when I boughtt 2 or more products. Clinique will often do these gifts so I tend to wait until they are doing this offer somewhere, whether it be Debenhams or Boots, until I stock up so I can get some nice free things to try out. This brush is designed for the application of blusher on your cheeks and cheekbones. It is tapered slightly to make it more softer and easier to apply your blusher. The brush feels nice and soft and the handle feels sturdy and of good quality. The handle has a transparent plastic with silver Clinique lettering near the bottom of the brush. The brush as a whole is just under 6 inches long and not overally bulky or hard to grip in your hands. The brush part itself is 3cm long and approx 2.5cm wide, this makes it perfect for people with smaller faces...

Review of Clinique Blush Brush

Brush on bronze, my favourite bronzer

Advantages: Good value for money, can be layered to be subtle or dramatic.
Disadvantages: None really

...This is one of my favourite products from the make up range at the body shop. The product comes with a sponge that is meant for application although I strongly advise that you use a brush instead. I use the Body Shop's Face and body brush as it gives a really nie, even finish on the face. If using the sponge, this product is difficult to apply, however if using a brush then it's easy to apply evenly to give you a sun kissed glow. I have very pale skin and still manage to avoid looking too brown with this product which is a major bonus. When using this product, slowly run the brush over the beads then tap off any excess on the side of the tub, brush lightly on the parts of your face that would be touched by the sun, i.e. cheekbones and the bridge of your nose. Then with the bronze that is left on the brush, gently sweep over...

Review of The Body Shop Brush-On Bronze

Amazing brush

Advantages: Performs well and doesn't shed
Disadvantages: Price

...I'll start by telling you what maccosmetics.co.uk states about this brush, before I give my opinion. "A large full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of face powder or pigments. Use to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres." I have to say I really rate this as a make up brush. It has so many uses for me I can't imagine not owning it! Firstly, I prefer a full coverage look with foundation, however I don't like looking like I have lots of foundation on. Enter the Mac 187 brush, also referred to as a stipling brush, it blends foundation perfectly! I apply a little to my face using either the brush or my fingers, then I blend by moving the brush in circular motions on my face. The brush is amazingly soft and I find it a joy to use. If you are familiar...

Bourjois Bronzer Brush

Advantages: Really soft on skin
Disadvantages: Sometimes looses bristles

...I got the Bourjois bronzer brush when I first bought the bronzer, which was about a year ago. They both came out at around the same time and it looked really nice and they made a nice set together so I bought them both. To be honest I can't remember how much it was, it says on here £10 but I remember it being more in the region of £7-8, but maybe it has gone up in price since then. How it looks It came in a clear plastic cover to protect it which was really plain but I loved the look of the brush straight away, It has a bronzy coloured base with Bourjois Paris written on in gold lettering, with some of the usual French calligraphy beneath this. The bristles of the brush match as they are a chocolate colour with a few more golden bristles between them. Overall the brush just looks really cute! Using the brush...

Review of Bourjois Powder Brush

Tooth saving brushes!!

Advantages: Especially good for those with large gaps between their posterior teeth
Disadvantages: Not very useful if the gaps between you teeth are very narrow.

...As a student studying to be a dentist, I can not sufficiently stress how important it is to clean interdentally! I think my family and fiancé can vouch for that because more often than not, you'll find me telling them off for poor hygiene habits. Tut tut! -- Why do I need to clean interdentally? -- The problem with ordinary brushing is that there is no way the bristles of the toothbrush can get access interdentally, (i.e. in between your teeth), even if you try to force them to! During the day, the level of plaque in our mouth will increase and so will the number of bacteria. This bacteria can then not only cause tooth decay but it can also lead to Gingivitis (inflammation on the gums), which, if not treated can lead to Periodontitis (inflammation of the bone that surrounds teeth), which will cause tooth loss! Oh No! Ordinary tooth...

Review of Tepe Interdental Brushes

My New Enhancer Balls..

Advantages: Have livened up my tan and enhanced cheek bones,
Disadvantages: the price.

...**** Introduction **** I have recently been on holiday and my tan has rapidly started to looked very faded and patchy, all within a few days of returning to the uk. So on Saturday I visited my local body shop as I was planning a night out and I wanted a product to bring my tan back to life, in appearance anyway as I am not a fan of sun beds so this was not an option. After trying a few different products in store, I settled for this brush on buff. **** The Product *** This Body shop brush on buff is basically a bronzing powder that comes in the form of compacted little balls, which can be easily swept over with a make up application brush of they can be crushed and applied to your body. This is unlike any other bronzing pearl I have ever tried before, many are very dark in colour and dont vary at all. These are different as each...
