Beauty Product Reviews

mature hair hero

I had hair down to my buttocks most of life. Late 40s it started to just snag, break, and tangle. So painful. This product helped me keep long hair for a few more years. It was the only one that I could just spray on after the shower and then just be able to brush my hair. I tried nearly everything and this was The Best.

perfect

Ok, I'm over 40, and that means that i never did my brows until the beauty industry changed and it became de rigeur for us non-A-listers and mere mortals sometime in the last decade. I fought it and then then floundered to find a brow look that worked for me. This brush has been the key to my becoming comfortable fussing on my brows. I have naturally full brows. The slightest mis-step and they are groucho brows. A very light powder, (the YSL 1 palette) and this brush and they come out perfect almost without trying. I thought the size of the brush head would be bad. But i love the other T series brushes so much so I was curious. And no, the longer thicker brush shapes as it colors and makes a remarkably natural finish. It's the kind of thing you want to buy one for all your girlfriends and spare them those tiny thin brushes that everyone else makes. Don't get me wrong, there's a few of those tiny ones in my cup too, but this one does the main work. My brows would be lost without it. I'm actually here today to pick up a second one for myself for purse duty. I like the short handle too. Anything longer and I'm bumping the mirror with every move.

Suprisingly Not into it

I dunno. I started doing my face in the late 80s. There have been so many application tools and techniques since then and non of them worked as well as my fingers. Until just recently I got a Sephora pro mini airbrush as a bonus gift. And a light went off. Then I bought a chikuhodo T series foundation brush and knew the error of my ways. There is something better than my fingers for foundation application. Even with their decades of experience. Haha. But this WG brush is not in that league. Sad to say because I <3 his videos and these brushes have such a reputation. But this foundation brush has bristles at two lengths. It looks like the natural bristles are shorter and the synth ones longer. It doesnt work for me or maybe it’s the combo of my liquid foundation (TF traceless) primer(Dior CT) and skin type (aging combination). I don’t know why everyone else loves it but it’s a streakfest disappointment for me. The construction seems nice. It feels good in my hand. It sheds more than my chikuhodo brushes. The size is perfect -diameter of the brush head I mean. It just keeps striping and streaking and won’t settle down. I’ll keep it for a while and see if I can find some good use for it. *shrug*

great brush

I like this spoolie a lot. I still like the chanel travel spoolie the best for brows. It is softer. This one shapes a little differently from being stiffer and that can be a good thing.
