Lovely Brushes from Sonia Kashuk at Target

December 19, 2008 Paris B 27 Comments

In all the time browsing the forums makeupalley.com a brand of makeup brushes would pop up very often that intrigued me – Sonia Kashuk found at Target. Yep! Not a high end brand of brushes, but a cheap (relatively) line at a cheap department store…. but found only in the USA – BOO! 🙁

So I asked around but for some reason, no one could help me get it. Friends who went to the USA too could not find the brushes for some strange reason. However, being patient has its virtues because my lovely gal-pal Giddy Tigress has delivered the popular Sonia Kashuk brushes right into my grubby little paws! 😀 Thank you so much, GT!

A couple of days ago, I received my Sonia Kashuk Powder Brush ($19.99) and Sonia Kashuk Synthetic Flat blush brush ($14.99). 2 brushes I’d been wanting for the longest time, especially after reading about them on Karen’s blog.

I have only just washed them so you’ll have to wait for my full review on them later. On a preliminary view, I can tell you this – the powder brush rocks my socks! It is so super duper soft that I, like Karen, can barely stop brushing it against my face just to feel the awesome softness on my skin. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING I have in my brush collection is this soft. Its like cotton candy 🙂

The Synthetic Flat Brush is meant for cream blushes but can work for powder blush and foundations too. I will be testing it out on the various mediums later. I must say I was quite surprised that the brush head is so small. Can it really do the job? I have an Anna Sui Flat Top blush brush that I love for applying blush. Can this match up? We’ll have to see.

I also received this blue marvel. Hands up anyone who can tell me what it is? No, its not ear plugs and its not naughty! 😛

    thats a blending sponge that everyone’s raving about online!!! LOL I’ve seen them in pinks, never knew they have it in blue!!! Now now, I use the pink, my hubby uses the blue..that’s our wedding motiff! LOL

    Before I go to different topics Paris, oohhh SONIA KASHUK!!!!!!! I’ve been seeing so many raves about it and at a certain point, I wanted the Sonia Kashuk Liner brush, and since i can’t get them, I settled for the Coastal Scents white angled brush!!!

    Can’t wait for your review and I know I will just be envious! *sigh* 😛

    Hi Paris B, do you mind if I asked how much is the prices for the range of brushes?

    @Muta : Not at all. There are different ranges. This one is the most expensive but the best and prices are as per my post above i.e. US$19.99 for the powder brush and US$14.99 for the flat top brush. More info can be found on target.com

    I have a foundation brush and a powder brush from Sonia Kashuk. Should have bought more. The powder brush is so great! I have only used the foundation brush once, but I’m really lousy with it, besides, I’m no longer using liquid as mineral is the way to go for now. Don’t know what to do with it now.

    wow.. they’re all looked so nice.
    make me want to own it!
    i heard about the blue sponge thingy.
    isn’t it can be used for applying make up for the entire face? that’s why it is contoured. people call it the blue egg, if i’m not mistaken..

    @Joanne : Well, I’d keep the brush if I were you because you never know when you might need it again 🙂

    @fetish15: Not sure if this is the blue egg but it sure is cute! Its a sponge for applying foundation.

    I think you would love the Sonia K brushes. They’re very affordable and very good quality. My first set of brushes were from Sonia K and I’d used the blush brush everyday until I’d just tossed it away a week ago. I think I didn’t know how to care for them properly and it started shedding so it just drove me nuts. I’m still using the eyeshadow brushes though. Excellent quality!

    Oh oh… the oh-so-soft powder brush is sending lemming-waves through my bones!!! But of course, it HAS to be available only in the US. =(

    PS: Ermm.. Paris, you’ve been tagged. =P

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
