I am a bit of a bugger when it comes to using things for their intended purposes. I like to find new and inventive ways to use things, just to be a bit different and get the very best results. I like to use a thin angled foundation brush to apply setting powder under my eyes and along my brow bones rather than to apply foundation!
The brush itself is marketed as an eye shadow crease brush, from the shorter handled travel line.
You can see from the shape of the brush that it is bulleted and not like most other concealer brushes…. That is what I love.
This brush can handle just about any kind of concealer you throw at it, liquid, gel, stick forms, the lot. I find the finer point perfect for really dabbing on small amounts of cover on to small areas and then conversely the angled sides give great application to larger areas.
I find the pointed tip of the brush also gives great reach and application to areas such as around the nostrils and in the inner corner of my eyes. It’s the perfect multi fit shape.
The brush is so versatile I always then run the tip in to my MAC MSFN to then set the concealer.
The brush quality itself is also really good. The ferrule is nice and strong and well glued, the bristles are tightly packed and feel lovely against the skin with no shedding. The handle, with it being classed as a short handled travel brush, is nice and thick yet compact. It is perfectly usable on a daily basis, none of that pathetically small useless tiny brush size here!
You can buy the Japonesque travel range in Boots and John Lewis. This brush is £12.75 in Boots and on offer, if you buy 1, you get the 2nd brush half price – brilliant!!
I tweeted about it on Tuesday night with glee at finding something so cute in the can and cherry flavoured (looove cherry prints and smells) and it turns out a lot of you lovelies had never heard of it, seen it or knew it was coming!
I thought that was a bit odd as the furore surrounding Batiste Wild was quite widespread. Wonder if my Boots have done a woopsie and stocked it out too soon? Who knows.
The can is a beautiful ditzy cherry print and the smell… well it isn’t as cherry-ish as I would have liked, I can’t really detect much of a cherry smell to it but it is sweet and fruity and that’s good enough for me!
As I’ve mentioned before, being a bit of an ‘alt girl’ and rockabilly fan, anything with a cherry print on gets the thumbs up with me so this can will take pride of place in my bathroom along with her new partner in crime… Batiste Wild.
