I generally like coastal scents brushes cause they are quite cheap and comparable to the expensive brushes. Also for me to experiment and see if I really need those brushes before moving on to expensive ones.

This brush is soft (I always wash everything first before using so I can't tell if it's scratchy prior to washing) and somewhat dense. The bristles are really soft and feels good on the face. However it is not the best of the kabuki brushes out there. Just the cheapest for the soft-ish ones. Beginner's kabuki, in my opinion.

I have the pink one and I actually don't like the colour cause it just looks tacky and cheap but well... it IS cheap so I guess I cannot complain.

Interesting how the lower reviews are mostly due to shedding, mine didn't shed at all. I have had this brush for three years now and I just purchased the updated version and I love them both. So soft and so cute.

Bought this for SGD$19.90. It's so pretty in hot pink! I couldn't resist but to grab one! It's very dense & soft.. I love it so much! However, i wished this product came with a kabuki case so that i can store my brush in it. Nevertheless, i terms of the price & quality of this brush, i'll give 5 lippies!

Will re-purchase ;)

I bought this on sale during black friday so it was pretty cheap, but I would buy it for the price it is normally as well.
I use this everyday, and a few months ago I found that it has started to shed a little. Sometimes this is annoying because the strands are left on my face, but are easily brushed off.
I don't feel as if I need to replace it any time soon, but honestly I wouldn't mind trying other brands.

This is the softest kabuki brush I have come across! I ordered the newer version of this brush, which is a hot pink color with a pink holder and I absolutely love it! Its perfect for applying powder over foundation and it does a pretty good job of blending liquid foundation as well! I have only washed it twice and have had no issues with bleeding or shedding. I liked this brush so much that I ordered 2 more as backup! Its a gorgeous pink color and can fit anywhere...would recommend this to anyone! No doubts about this brush.

Mine isn't pink, but I couldn't find it listed -- so yeah, basically the same thing, except black! It's not the softest brush by any means but it's fabulously dense. It's the perfect size for my face and is great for applying blush. It doesn't splay out, so I get the product exactly where I want it. I'm really surprised that it performs so well, as I wasn't expecting much from this brand. I'd definitely recommend it.

I only have one other kabuki brush to compare this too (from EcoTools), but this one is not bad in my opinion. It isn't as soft as other brushes but it still gets the job done. It's great for applying all kinds of powder and buffing blush out as well. I was also drawn by the pink color which is why I like it so much! Even if it wasn't pink though, I would still think it's a decent brush. It does shed occasionally but it's still a pretty dense brush. Another great thing is that the color doesn't bleed! It was only $4.99 too, so I think it's worth the price! I'm sure other companies would jack up the price just for the pink factor.

Sure, this LOOKS super cute but is a crappy brush IMO. It's super scratchy and smells horrible no matter how many times you clean it. Very cheapy.

I LOVE this little kabuki... This cute little pink prize could really go for a lot more money if sold in a department store. This brush is EXTREMELY dense with just the right amount of softness needed to pick up powder pigments. You will get a very good deliverance of product from this brush. It is also EXTREMELY cute. It looks like a dessert treat that I just want to eat up... I like this kabuki just as much as I adore my MAC 182. 2 different brushes with similar personalities. This is a "must-have" for your brush collection.

I am really surprise at all the bad reviews for this brush. The first time I receive it and felt it, I was like "huh, not really all that soft" and my friend agreed.
However after I washed it and use it on my face, it feels real soft and nice, and I use this for my mineral foundation or buffering loose powder. It does its job, however this is my only first 'proper' kabuki brush (previous one was a free kabuki brush from Maybelline but it was soooooo scratchy) so I can't compare it. I bought this brush because I feel I need a proper kabuki brush and Enkore mentioned it in one of his videos + I think it looks super cute with it being all pink so I went ahead to get one!
This brush
- Does not shed (maybe, one two strands occasionally?)
- Relatively soft.
- Color doesn't bleed.
- Not very dense but still alright
- Does it job
I am not too sure if I will get it again if it spoils though, because I am always constantly buying new brushes to try them out, so I will probably buy another brush to try out when this spoils. If I were to go back in time and see if I were to buy this, then yes I will still buy it.

I love this Kabuki! It is super soft and I have not had any hairs fall out yet. I also find that it picks up my bronzer better than my MAC 129 brush. You really can't go wrong for the price!!!

I bought this as an extra to carry w/me while traveling. It SUCKS....at least mine does! The shedding is what drives me CRAZY! If it didn't have this issue I might consider giving this another lippie!!!!

It's a lot denser than i expected,it didn't shed when i washed it,the dye didn't bled.It smelled a little chemically wet,but no scent dry.
It's cheap.
I used it only with powders,and it's perfect.

This is a great brush. I use it to blend out everything I have put on my face after it is finished. I do not think this is dense enough thought to use to apply mineral foundation for coverage...but its perfect to use for blending.

I can honestly say there may not be many brushes this cheap that can do what this can, and hold up as much as it did. I really do love this brush!
I used to have the BareMineral kabuki brush and let me tell you what a difference! I love this was much more, its just as thick to give you enough powder on your brush, and much fluffier and softer.
It hardly sheds nor does its dye bleed. I have had it over a year now and put it through alot, mineral makeup, liquid makeup, not cleaning it for a long period of time and its still a trooper! Definitely one of my favorite brushes on coastal scents.

Before using this brush I was using the bare minerals Kabuki brush, I didn't realize how bad it was until I ordered this. I liked its pinkness. Overall I like the way it blends my makeup out better than then bareminerals brush and it is a lot less scratchy. I really still want to get the synthetic wide buffer brush because I have heard amazing reviews about it.

This is the BEST KABUKI I have EVER owned! And I have bought a lot of them! It is SO effin' soft, it's PINK, and it was only $4.99! You can NOT go wrong with this brush! I use it to apply Sheer Cover Mineral Make Up AND My MAC Studio Fix Powder and it gives me a beautiful air brushed look. I am definitely stocking up on these and the next time I order from Coastal Scents I will be purchasing another one to take with me in my purse. This brush beats Sheer Cover's by 100 MILES haha, as well as Bare Minerals, etc. It is the softest brush I have ever owned, never irritates my skin and applies product WONDERFULLY! This is a must have!
