Leza1121 are the crown brushes comparable to mac and sonia? ive seen their site... i get lost with their catalogue... how will i know what is one made of? IMO they have something to do with their website. Oh no im drooling over those brushes... i have yet to try those foundation brushes.

i want to buy squirrel brushes from japonesque but the website i found from google doesnt have any prices?

I had the Flirt! and Apt. 9 dupes of the 187 before I got my 187SE brush. The Flirt! and Apt. 9 can't hold a candle to the 187. Not even close. It's such a great brush! If you don't want to pay full price for a 187 brush, you can wait for the brush sets! I got my 187SE in a brush set and it was a lot cheaper than the full-size.

Ok i bought the ones from CVS and some others. I think i have overlap and I still don't have everything i might need (like a lip brush) but its a start. Thanks for the great advice!

I like ELF's eyeshadow brush... but I've been overall most impressed with CVS essence of beauty brushes.

i love ELF eyeslipsface.com good quality. i didnt wanna believe it. but my cousin had some. i used it.. and i have a sensative face. and i didnt break out or anything. and its pure color its not waxy or oily or anything

As a followup can i get some help identifying some of these in the first photo. I got them from Walgreen and supposedly they are from Japonesque

Here is a link.

and here is a pic. I think i know what some but i will not admit my stupidity here. Only $10 maybe not too bad?


I also go this shadow brush

and this foundation brush
and another 6 from CVS . essence of beauty duo brushes: Blending and Eye, Blush and Powder, Foundation and Concealer

Do i have enough? What else do i really need? I know they are not MAC brushes but ok for starters?

thanks

Okie dokie! I guess this thread has pretty much turned into dupes of other products? (which would be totally fine with me)

I like the ones from CVS, but Sonia Kashuk's brushes are also good.

[tint]

I use the foundation brush and eyeshadow brush from ELF...they're pretty good quality for being a dollar each

japonesque japonesque... i so want to have one.. but they dont have a store here.... I see they dont have a shopping cart either... is there a site where i can buy japonesque other than ebay? Wait arent these expensive?

I use Essence of Beauty brushes but I don't recommend their powder ones or kabuki. They shed way too much but the rest of them are awesome and so cheap. You can buy them at CVS and at least once a month they're BOGO!!
