QVS ~ FLAT TOP POWDER BRUSH ~ it contours, it highlights and it blends ;)

Have you ever come across a brush that looks good, feels awesomely soft and contour-highlight-blend all at the same time,, !! well I didn't untill I came across this lil chubby baby in the New U store ,, m so glad I picked it  up  over that ugly looking costly xyz brush.

I imagine this brush in a small little princess's hand applying a baby pink blush to the apples of her cheeks ^-^ (only if it was pink!! or purple in my case ;)


Let me tell you something honestly , I was never a face powder person, hated the look it gave , cakey and absolutely fake. I love having my skin look like it is originally albeit a bit polished but not something that it actually isn't. So you see powder was a no-no for me,,This was till super-powers came into me and I thought of using powder with this chubby lil thing. I was surprised and what a sweet little surprise it was, there was no cakey feeling, nothing as in fake feeling, no accentuation of dry patches..Do I need any more reason to love it?
I know I lived under the rock not knowing what's the true benefit of having a compact powder on top of any foundation/TM ~ :-\

What the product states ~

QVS ~ FLAT TOP POWDER BRUSH ~ it contours, it highlights and it blends ;)

~ I have used it as a powder brush, a blush brush, a brush to highlight, blend, for a light sweep on a single overall lid colour and for liquid foundation (didn't go well with this one).
~ The brush is short-short like very short but it works superbly, the bristles are super soft, I have washed it three time till now and not even a single bristle fell out or the brush lost its shape.
~ The handle is thick and of good quality and gives a nice grip/hold. There are few brushes which gives a streaky finish on your face but this one does not.
~ It can even pick up baked blushes, so one more brownie to it.
~ It didn't do anything when I tried to use it to apply liquid foundation .
~ works amazing as a highlighter brush.

For loose powder ~ Tap off the excess and then I use a dabbing motion ~ works fine for me.
For highlighter and blush ~ one light sweep across the desired area ; also to and fro motion.
For eyeshadow application (yes I manage to use this for eye shadow too) ~ one light sweep, specially with light shimmery shades - my current <3

I honestly can not find a single flaw in this brush , a purple version of it would have been fantastic ;)

Price ~ 355 INR

Recommendation ~ If you are afraid of loose powder application ~ BUY this ,, well just buy this Its too good.

Thanks

what do you people you do when you have to choose among two equally good things!! I fell short of thoughts when in a situation like this then and then I do something like this :

Two makeup brush sets equally cute ~ equally efficient (shhh okay one was much better!! but still ..) and I have to make a choice, the lady at the counter is staring at me,,its been a long long pause and she wants to attend other customers too!!,,,what do I do,,what do I DO!! I do the cutest thing then ,,keep both of them side by side and count on  them,,

" I love *my love's name *"

 : D , the one on which number "my love's name" fall is the one I buy,,, I KNOW!! if I believe in such a thing then it will always be the one kept on the left but still I love doing this each and every time,, :) :) :)

so,,this is the one I bought and lets see how it has fared me till now..

This smart little leather pouch has 3 brushes in it :


1. A large powder Brush


2 A blush Brush


3 A concealer Brush

The powder Brush is a nice long brush with very soft bristles , I won't say its super soft,,Its soft!! .
The barrel is quite sturdy and it has some rhinestones places on it which looks pretty and girly :)
It is quite efficient i picking up loose powder from the pan and the blending part is good too. There is no streaky marks left on my face after I use it.
The brush looks heavy but it is not,,I actually like its grip .

The blush brush is my favorite among these three. It does its job quite nicely and is light weight so blending is a effortless job with this one,,also it does not pick up too much color at a time,,hence I have a hold on the  color pick-up

Then there is the concealer brush. It is really not worth even a rupee. It doesn't do its job, its picks up cream concealers but can't blend them, the bristles are so stiff. doesn't even bend. I would have thrown it if it wasn't pretty . :)

The brushes come in their plastic covering, which still is intact, impressive!!

I love the pink rhinestones on it,,super cute ^-^ :)

I had a fear that the stones will fell of once I wash them , but no,,some 5-6 times I have washed them and nothing fell off..
The finishing of the brushes is very nice.I just felt that the concealer brush is a wastage in it,


Recommendation : no please...even though the powder and the blush brush is good,,

Price : INR 750, i got it at around INR 500 :) :)
