A Brilliant Find!

I have wanted to try out a foundation/concealer brush for a while so before spending a lot of money on one without even knowing if i would like it seemed a bit ridiculous! So after seeing this cheap and cheerful one on Masie's blog (who is lovely and i'm doing a swap with her!) i thought it was a great opportunity to try one out.

The brush is from Primark and yes, you heard correctly! I never have, and probably never will trust any of Primark's makeup. Not because i'm a makeup snob but because my skin is reasonably sensitive and decides to play up whenever i use anything from there. (Me, last christmas, a gift which involved a Primark lipgloss... well, lets just say it didn't go down too well!)

Despite my fear of anything from the makeup section of Primark, i can safely say that i will not need to be purchasing any other brush as this one is uh-maz-ings!


It is pretty and pink (and the colour hasn't faded when washed or used - and i have done so everyday), it has two ends; one for concealer and the other for foundation, it is so soft and has not yet shed one hair, it gives me a flawless look to my foundation, it makes it easier to apply and i can safely say i am never ever going back to using my fingers!

Full marks all round!

Oh, and i forgot to mention... it is only £1.50!

Whether you already have a foundation/concealer brush or whether you are considering starting to use one - i strongly suggest you go and pick this up as i adore it and it's hardly going to make too much of a dent in your pocket!
