Work has been piling up and since I’m starting to find my work shovel hitting the bottom (that means I’ve worked hard and paved wide inroads in backlog of paperwork – yay me!) I felt it was time for some personal rewards! :D
First off, this is what came in the mail yesterday! Yet another brush I know, but not just any brush.
This is the by now infamous Flat Top brush from Everyday Minerals – touted as THE PERFECT BRUSH for mineral foundation or any foundation for that matter. So of course, I had to see what all the hype is about. :P
The Everyday Minerals flat top brush has soft synthetic bristles yet the brush head is packed densely so what you have is a soft yet dense brush. I can see why girls are loving this little darling – not only is it cute (it barely fits into the palm of my hand!) it looks serviceable and feels lovely on the skin – not scratchy at all.
I’m going to be taking this baby on a test run soon and we can expect reviews after that. The Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush retails for RM38 on Loving Minerals (or US$10 on Everyday Minerals’ site) and is always sold out due to its popularity, so make sure you stalk them for your flat top brush!
I’ve also picked up a couple of Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights powders in Gossamer and Dimension which came in the mail today.
I’ve never tried Smashbox before and these looked pretty :P Besides they are blush or blush/highlighters so of course I was taken in.
And now, back to the grindstone…
I’m lemming the gossamer just because of the colour…let me know how that turns out!
ooh! flat top! :D i love it! it’s so soft! i want to buy brush guard to safe guard them. i am travelling quite a bit i notice :P
and smashbox! :D waiting for your review!
Hiya Beetrice: I’ll definitely have a review coming out soon :)
Hiya Plue: The flat top feels lovely and the smashbox too! Stay tuned :)
yay!! I got saw excited for you when I saw the photo of the FT Brush! Your face deserves the FT brush! My ultimate fave for mmu ! :)
Hey Nikki! Everyone loves it so, I’m glad I got it. I’m more likely to use it for non-MMU though.
Funny you blogged this today. I just gave mine a good clean today. One thing to keep in mind though, this blasted thing takes an eternity to dry because the bristles are so tightly-packed!
Hiya Geekchic: I’d read about this too – the pain in waiting for it to try – hair dryer maybe? LOL
Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights are great! I love Dusk ;) My other bronzer/blush/highlighter favourite is Too Faced Beach Bunny.
Hiya Amanda: Really? Its the first time I’m trying Smashbox and these were too pretty to pass up LOL I’d heard a lot about Too Faced Beach Bunny too. No access unfortunately
EDM Flat Top Brush! One of my favourite brushes of all time! Ooh… those Smashbox blush look too lovely to use!
Hey Connie: I agree. I wanted to swatch the blushes but balked haha…
girl, we are really different now. I wouldn’t have picked those two. LOL. But it’s OK because then we can read about different products!!! I still can’t see myself usinf a flat tiop brush again.
Hi jojoba: Probably but I’m a sucker for trying new things – I like flat tops, why don’t you like them? They work a treat for my blush.
Ah, now I know why you twitted about a brush overload. *wink wink*
The Smashbox highlighters look perfectly gorgeous! I can’t wait to read how they turn out. :)
Hiya Rinnah: And this isn’t the last of it by a long shot! Overload!!
will be waiting for ur brush review, i need a foundation brush badly. *sigh* need to contribute to economy again. lol. love the colors of gossamer <3. do a swatch soon!
Hi prettybeautiful: Which sorts of foundation do you use? At least if the EDM flat top works, its a cheap investment! ;) I’ll swatch the blushes soon… hopefully… maybe hehee
Oooo…tell me about the brush!!! cos it catch my eyes sooo much n the price…oh god! it is cheap!
Hi A.min: Review on the brush will come soon due to overwhelming demand LOL
Oooh.. you got the EM Flat Top Brush too. I like it very much too, uber soft. But I think I don’t reach for it as much as my Bobbi kabuki, since I don’t use mineral makeup that much. Kahani on the other haannd… hehe…
And I also have one Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights! Mine’s Intermix. Will wait for your reviews. =)
Hey Syen: I don’t own the Bobbi kabuki so I can’t compare but I will compare it with other kabukis I do own. Ah! You have Intermix! That was the other one that caught my eye.
I love the EDM flat top brush too! I think it gives a great coverage of your mineral foundation! Your skin looks flawless after that!
And like you said, it’s dense and picks up foundation wonderfully.
Enjoy it! Im definitely going to stock up on my brushes!
Hey dweam, I’ll be sure to update when I have tried it! Especially with foundations other than mineral ones.
i have mineral foundation, i have BB, liquid foundation and compact powder too. i guess this one is one for all? hehehe
Hi prettybeautiful, I’m hoping its a one for all – update will come
Yay you bought the flat top brush! So soft, isn’t it? Even though I don’t use mineral makeup anymore, I still use this as my blush brush. Can’t contour, of course, but just to give the apple of the cheeks some colour, that works just fine :)
