New In: Benecos Makeup Brushes

I am always on the hunt for new makeup brushes. They are probably one of my favourite beauty items to buy! I just think that if you have great tools to apply your makeup with, it can make a whole difference to the way your makeup appears. I recently picked out a few makeup brushes from Benecos; a natural beauty brand, to put to the test.

The Benecos Powder Brush (RRP £9.95) is perfect for applying setting powder, as well as doubling - up as a fairly good blush brush. The bristles on the brush are super soft and fluffy, and as the brush is large, it is great for distributing powder across the face. When I use this to apply my setting powder, I feel it gives an even and flawless finish. Overall I cant really fault this brush, I think it does a great job and is worth the price tag. I have tried other powder brushes which cost much more than this one, that don't achieve the results this brush does.

The Benecos Rouge Brush (RRP £8.95) is much smaller than the powder brush in regards to the handle size. The Rouge Brush is great to use to apply highlight, bronzer and even blusher. The brush has a slanted cut of the head, which helps to give a more accurate application of bronzer or highlighter. I love this brush to apply highlighter, as it is super soft and gives a very defined application. I would definitely recommend this brush to anyone looking for a slanted powder brush, it is brilliant for the price.

My first impressions of Benecos makeup brushes are that they are very soft; they don't shed, wash well and apply my makeup really evenly and well. I am definitely going to be trying more from the range!
Both brushes are available to buy online at Mypure.

ECOTOOLS Bamboo Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set

Ecotools are a well-known make-up brush brand that are environmentally friendly. As I really like the brand, I do tend to look into them first when shopping for new make-up brushes. I came across the Bamboo Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set whilst browsing online and realized I had never seen this set before. As the brushes are double - sided, I thought this set would be a perfect go - to kit for doing my eye make-up in a rush, travelling, perfect for my make-up bag and generally some good beauty tools to add to my collection.

The set includes a shade and define brush, which is perfect for applying eyeshadow, and to add a little more detail with the define end of the brush. I have used the Ecotools shadow brush before and I really like it as it packs a lot of product on and distributes it well. The define end of the brush is good but I don't really get a lot of us out of it; it is good to know I have it if I need it though.
It also includes a blend and smudge brush, that is perfect for blending out the eyeshadow, and the smudge end of the brush is good to smudge eyeliner. The smudge end of the brush is really good and works really well. The blend end of the brush leaves your eye makeup looking blended out and soft, I am so impressed with this brush overall, as I feel it is such a reasonable price for how good this brush is alone.


The set is so inexpensive at just £5.99 , I think that is really good value for money considering that the brushes are good quality. I feel that this kit would be good maybe for someone just starting out in make-up as well as long time beauty lovers, as the price is so reasonable and you get two brushes which double up as four, and you have pretty much everything you need to apply your eye shadow products with just those two. I find make-up brushes can be quite expensive if I am honest; but I feel Ecotools are definitely a really good quality beauty brush brand which are easily accessible and are low in price too.
The Ecotools Bamboo Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set is available to buy online from Mypure here.

EcoTools Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set

I already have quite the collection of make-up brushes, I probably don't need any more but I love a bargain and I love gift sets so I just could not refuse giving this Eco Tools Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set a whirl. Admittedly, I do already have two of the brushes that are in this set, but they are really useful and great quality I thought it would be great to have a backup as I use them so much.

The 6 piece brush set includes a Blush Brush, Eye Shading Brush, Angled Eyeliner Brush, Concealer Brush,and  Lash & Brow Groomer, all contained in a hemp and cotton case which is ideal for travelling.

The blush brush is perfect for applying blush, and doubles up as a good powder brush or bronzer brush too.
The eye shading brush a brush I already own, but I feel it is worth having a few of these. It picks up the product quite well and distributes it without any fall out. The angled eyeliner brush is a brush I use regularly to apply product to my eyebrows. I do not use it for its main purpose as I don't often wear eyeliner, but I have found it makes a great tool for filling in my 'brows. It is just the right size and I don't find any fall out of product when using this brush. 
The concealer brush is great to use to apply and blend concealer. It could also double up as an eyeshadow brush too.Lastly, the lash and brow grooming brush is pretty much self-explanatory. It is perfect to groom and brush my eyebrows and is something I use every day. 

I personally think this brush set is very affordable and worth purchasing if you are on a budget or just starting out with using make-up brushes. The set contains the essentials you need and is reasonably priced at just £14.99 for 6 useful makeup brushes. As all of the brushes are good quality and I have not experienced shedding with any EcoTools brushes that I have tried, I think they are really impressive and worth looking at if you are looking for some new brushes. 

The Eco Tools Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set is available online at Mypure.

First Impressions of the Eco Tools Bronzer Brush

I am a big fan of Eco Tools Make Up Brushes. I have quite the collection now; a lot of them being firm favourites that I use everyday. I love the ethos behind Ecotools, as their make up brushes are made from recycled aluminium, bamboo and have cruelty free bristles, which as a brand makes them very enviromentally friendly.

I have been after a new bronzer brush for a while. Bronzer isn't something I use every day - I haven't found the perfect bronzer for me just yet but I really wanted to invest in a good bronzer brush for when I am wanting to add some glow and colour to my face in the Summer Months.

The Eco Tools Bronzer Brush is the perfect size for distributing the product, as it is a large brush I use it lightly when applying bronzer and the application is great.

For the time I have been using the brush, it hasn't shed at all - I must say that out of all my make - up brushes, the Eco Tools brushes are the brushes that shed the least.

I have used this brush with bronzer and I have used it as a powder brush, and it works well as a tool for both. I have found that I only need a small amount of product onto the brush as it distributes the product really well and if there is too much product on the brush, my face is covered in the product which is great for when you are using the brush to apply powder, but not bronzer. I do really like the quality of the brush and it applies powder really well. Although I don't think it is the best bronzer brush out there, I do think it is a great budget - friendly bronzer or powder brush. 

The bronzer brush is available to buy from MyPure online.

Inika Angle Brush - The Perfect Angled Eye Brush!

Firstly, apologies for the photography in todays post - it is actually quite difficult to photograph a single make - up brush with the camera I am currently using, so my photo's aren't of such a good quality as I would like them to be, but please bear with me until I soon upgrade to a better camera. I am sure you can still see the fantastic quality of the Inika Angle Brush from the photographs! You can also check out their stock photos at My Pure here.

About the Inika Angle Brush

Inika is a brand I am quite familiar with, being a natural and organic brand which doesn't cause any irritation to the skin, I really wanted to try out one of their products as I often get irritated skin. I had been hearing a lot about them through beauty reviews, so I knew when browsing My Pure's website I really wanted to try one of their make up brushes. This brush certainly does not disappoint. I opted for the Angle Brush - a multi-use brush perfect for applying eye-shadow, eye-liner and of-course, a perfect tool for filling in brows.

I have used the brush for filling in my eyebrows. It is a great tool for this, especially if you like a bold brow as it is quite a large brush which helps to create great shape. I have also used it to apply eyeliner to my lash line, by wetting the brush and using different coloured eye-shadows to create new eye liner shades. The brush is easy to use and I find it easy to apply product onto the brush. I would definitely recommend this brush for eye shadow or eye liner.

The brush feels really soft and hasn't shed which is a plus from me! As Inika is quite a well - known and slightly more expensive brand, I expected good things from this make up brush and it really does show in this case that it is well worth the money as the quality of the brush is fantastic.

Eco Tools Bamboo 5 Piece Fresh and Flawless Complexion Set

Make Up Brushes from Eco Tools: The 5 Piece Fresh and Flawless Complexion Set

I absolutely love the brand Ecotools. I have quite a selection of their brushes now, and love that they are economically friendly and 100% cruelty free. EcoTools brushes are well - known for their bamboo handles, and don't even get me started on how incredibly soft the bristles are on the brushes. Today I  am reviewing their 5 Piece Fresh and Flawless Complexion Set.



The Fresh and Flawless Complexion Set* includes five fantastic make up brushes that will help to achieve a flawless make up base or complexion. Included in the set is the Flat Concealer Brush, the Buffing Concealer Brush, the Precision Foundation Brush, the Complexion Blending Brush and the Full Powder Brush. All five brushes work well with mineral, powder or liquid make - up, so it it really is ideal for anyone.
The flat concealer brush is one I already own, and really enjoy using. It is a great tool to help hide any blemishes, and also doubles up as a great eye shadow brush. The buffing concealer brush is probably my favourite brush out of the set, as it buffs in both foundation and concealer flawlessly. The precision foundation brush is a great brush also to apply foundation on to the face.  I was unsure if I would like using such a small brush to apply liquid foundation but in fact it is a brilliant tool for this. The complexion blending brush is the brush I was mostly unsure of, but have soon found through a little bit of research is great to use to buff liquid or mineral products, particularly concealer onto the skin.
The powder brush is quite a small brush to apply powder, I personally think it would make a good blush brush if applied with a very light hand.

Does Size Matter?

The brushes in this set are smaller in size to the other Ecotools brushes that I own, but that is just a plus for me as it makes it easy to fit inside my make up bag when I am out and about. As the handles are quite a lot shorter than most make up brushes in my collection, I wasn't sure I would find it difficult to use them as well as the other brushes in my collection - but fear not,  hey still work brilliantly like any other. The different colours on thes top of these brushes are a great addition, as they help to find your brush in a hurry and I think the pattern is so pretty.
The brushes are of a great quality and I haven't found them to shed in my time using them. I also find that they apply products onto the face easily and don't leave any harsh lines on the skin.

Where Can I Buy?

This Ecotools 5 piece brush set is available online at Mypure for just £11.99*. I think the price for this set is very reasonable for five make up brushes that are of a fantastic quality. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great base or face brush set. Apart from a Blush brush (although the powder brush could be used as a blush brush) it has everything you need for a flawless finish.
