Has anyone used this brush before? Is it any good?
I'm a big fan of her pressed powder and I'm considering getting a brush from her now. I already have the handi brush, and i want a more portable kabuki brush. And if not, any suggestions? |

personally, i would prefer a flat top of kabuki brush when applying mineral foundation b/c the density of the hair is higher and better in picking up the mineral powder.
I found Jane Iredale's kabuki brush doesn't have tooo much hair. I am now using Adesign kabuki flat top brush, the hair is very soft and dense; perfect for mineral makeup |

| The retractable one (gold tube)? I found it terribly pricey for what I got. In fact, the first one had to be replaced because it fell apart into 3 pieces and smelled funny after just a few gentle uses and no washes! I would certainly not buy this again. A brush of better quality (but also a bit soft like the JI) is the EcoTools Retractable Kabuki. Much cheaper . just as good for travel/purse carry and doesn't fall apart or smell funny. |

I agree clare77, I am a bit of a brush snob LOL, but the Eco Tools brushes are very good quality and so incredibly reasonable! I love their brushes.  |

I've seen them at London Drugs. You may want to try Winners too as I think I've also seen a few there. HTHs! |

Oh cool, I just checked out the London Drugs website and they definitely carry it! I hope the one near me carries it too. Thanks a lot! |
