Joanne's Brush Collection

My very first official makeup related post!!! YAY ME! Sorry I just finished watching "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" on Disney channel with my daughter. If you've ever seen this show you'll know why. So I thought I'd start this blog off with my current makeup obsession which are my brushes!! Let's get started...

So here's a collective picture of all my brushes so far. The left vase holds all my face brushes and the right vase holds all my eye brushes. I got the inspiration from Youtube's Enkoremakeup video of "Sephora inspired brush holder."

Here is my Lowe Cornell brushes courtesy of Michaels Arts and Crafts. Also an inspiration from Enkore. From Top: 1" Maxine Mop, 3/4" Maxine Mop, #10 Comfort brush 3500 filbert cut, #6 Comfort brush 3450 Chisel (Last two are the same).

Face brushes from top: face brush from Costco, 1" Royal soft-grip 1400 brush (from michaels), Large paddle face brush from Coastal scents, Powder brush from Mary Kay



Costco face brush came with a set which I got around Christmas time about 3 yrs. ago (I think). Pursebuzz has done reviews of these brushes on her website and on her youtube channel, check it out. The Mary Kay brush I also got in a set as a gift for hosting a party, but I rarely use it. The Coastal Scents paddle brush is a bit scratchy which I also rarely use.

More face brushes from Top: Mac 187, Mary Kay Blush Brush, Costco Buffer Brush, MAC 190SE, MAC 168SE

Eye brushes from Top: Costco Smudger, #4 Royal soft-grip 850 Fan Brush, Costco Crease brush, Costco lip brush (i actually use it to put eyeshadow on my lower lashline rather than a lip brush), Bare Essentials Buffer eyeshadow brush.

Eyeshadow brushes from top: Costco Blending brush, Bare Essentials full tapered shadow with pink handle, Bare Essentials full tapered shadow with black handle (I actually got all my Bare Essential brushes from my co-worker who would buy their sets that always came with the eyeshadow brushes THANKS LYNNE!), Coastal Scents Large Chisel Fluff, Coastal Scents Pink Oval fluff shadow brush, MAC 252, MAC 252SE



Photobucket

More Shadow Brushes from TOP: MAC 217, MAC 263, Coastal Scents Mini Contour brush, MAC 219, and Coastal Scents Angled Fluff brush

Lastly from top: Mary Kay Crease brush, Costco Angled Fluff brush, Mary Kay Shadow Brush, Mary Kay Eyebrow brush (this is actualy a double ended brush. other end of this eyebrow brush is the eyeliner brush which I never use)

Well that is my brush collection. I am still in the market for the Lowe Cornell 3/8" and 1/2" maxine mop brushes, but the 3 Michaels stores that I live near are always out of stock. I'm also planning to purchase the MAC 224 and 213. I'm sure I'll have more to add...kind to think of it I still have a list of brushes from Crown Brush that I have been eyeing...OH GEEZ! Well stay posted I will be doing a review on some products from Mario Badescu and a tutorial on my everyday work look.
