Oh my gosh... I found the bronzer brush at TJ Maxx for $6! They are yet the best bronzer brush I've used. The bristles are so soft and brushes on so easily. It's kind of a bummer that these brushes are hard to find. Otherwise, I got no complaints.

I picked up the blush brush at Marshall's two years on a whim. This brush has impressed me. It has held up quite well and gets the job done. I recommend.

purchased the Gotta b Urban bronzer brush with giraffe print at Marshals for $6.99. The brush IMO is too big and dense for bronzer although I am tempted to try it for its intended use. I have used it as a face powder brush and love the way it feels and how dense it is. I use transluscent powder to set my foundation and conceler and this bush is far better than my MAC large face brush (which sheds) and the wooden handle with the print is so cute. i bought it with the intent to use it as a travel size face brush instead of luggin around my mac brush and so far its working well. im in love with it and will be searching for more to go along with the other brushes i own from this brand.. deffinately recommend good quality brushes for decent prices. try marshalls and tjmaxx.

I got the finishing brush with the clear lucite handle at TJ Maxx for $5. it is a flat top brush that I use for the purpose of stippling foundation on the face. so far it has also held up well to washing. I like to keep two sets of brushes, one for my apartment at school and another at home, so I'll be buying another one of these very soon :D

I bought the foundation/concealer duo at Marshall's for $4.99. I use it everyday for my foundation and concealer and it gives me such a nice airbrush and natural look. It doesn't streak and doesn't shed at all. I absolutely love this brush. The quality is great. Also, it is super soft. I think it could be compared to the Essence of Beauty Foundation/Concealer duo but much smaller, which I have no problem with. You will not be disappointed with this brush.

After 2 months of using it, the tips of the hair were getting kind of rough, but still manageable.

I got this great bronzer brush from TJ Max for $7. It is super soft and plush. I like it as well as my more expensive brushes. It is so cute too with the bristles being black and white. I am planning on buying more of these to try them out.

I just bought the retractable kabuki brush for $10 at Winners, and man, I love it so much. It's the perfect size for applying powder to my face, since it's retractable I can control how flexible/stiff I want the bristles to be (in case I want to use it to apply foundation too), and the packaging is sleek and fits nicely in my pencil case so I can bring it to school. Softest thing ever, too, and haven't experienced any sheeding yet. Love it!

You can find these at TJ and Marshalls. They come in a variety of handle designs, colors and sizes. They are all synethic, plush and soooo soft. I especially love their Designer Collection as they are the softest and plushiest! They are much nicer than EcoTools and blows all the high end brushes away. Their website is gottaburban.com

Wow! This brand of brushes is amazing and so affordable! The crease brushes are soooo soft and are perfect for contouring the crease. They just feel like silk when you use them. The long handled bronzer brush is pretty good (the bristles don't seem to be the same soft white/grey synthetic the other brushes are made of) but my absolute fave is the retractable kabuki!!! This baby is *the* softest kabuki I've ever felt. I've bypassed all my other 'bukis to use this one for my mineral foundation. Perfect for travel too or to keep in your purse. I have a 'thing' for kabukis so no doubt if I find another at Winners (same as TJMaxx/Marshalls in the US) then I'll be getting it! BTW, it was $9.99 Cdn and worth much more than that. If you're familiar with the Too Faced pink retractable kabuki, this is pretty much identical (other than it's silver, not pink) and more affordable. Love!

Decent brushes. They are all very soft and I have never lost so much as a bristle (and I wash them regularly).

I really like these brushes I purchased at marshalls. They are hard to find at my local marshalls since people ransack the beauty section and it's a messy display of beauty products everywhere. I got 2 brushes for $5 - $7 each. The bronzer brush is very versatile since I use it to apply blush, bronzer, and highlight powder. The concealer and foundation brush duo I use to contour my face, apply eyeshadows and blends concealer flawlessly. I loved these brushes so much that I just recently purchased the eyeliner and eyeshadow brush duo online for twice as much as I paid at marshalls because I went to every marshalls and tjmaxx in search of other gotta b' urban brushes and couldn't find any. These brush are soft, picks up products well and applies beautifully, and doesn't shed much at all if any. Definitely get these brushes if you see them cause they are so worth it.

I have purchased Bobbi Brown and MAC brushes and thought I was a loyal fan for life. Until I ran across one of these brushes. They are amazing. I only bought one at first because I felt it and it was so smooth, and only $4. Once I got home and used it and saw how great it was, I then went on a hunt to collect them all.


They feel VERY soft, give great makeup application, and handle cleansing well (I like to clean my brushes with soap or facial cleanser, not just makeup brush cleaner, it helps prevent breakouts for me).


An EXCELLENT value. Each brush I got was o/a $5 each at TJ Maxx. But it is well worth the full price of $20 or less if you search online for them. Highly recommended.

Love these brushes! So far I've used the Powder brush, Angled Blush brush and the Bronzer Brush. They are all super-soft. The Bronzer brush shed the first time I used it, and then not at all. The other two have never shed.

BRONZER brush - This brush is extremely dense and soft. I have two, one with a white handle, black ferrule and black hair/fibers, the other with a black handle and ferrule and brown hair/fibers. (pics above) They are the same but the first time I washed the white one some of the black dye rinsed out as well. It didn't change the color or usefulness of the brush but you might not want to soak it with other brushes the first few times. I use it for my MMU and it works beautifully! It is 100 times better than the kabuki brush that came with my BE foundation and it really picks up product well and creates a soft, airbrushed finish. I love using it. I don't have their Kabuki brush so I can't compare the two, but the bronzer brush works like a long-handled kabuki for me.

POWDER brush: SOOOOO SOFT!!! It's just fun to use because it's so soft! It also makes it very easy to pick up small amounts of powder and layer it on. Mine is all grey, with two tone grey hair/fibers. It has a flat base so it can stand upright on my vanity on it's own.

ANGLED BLUSH brush: Again, super soft! Great size, not too big and doesn't pick up huge amounts at once so it's easy to put the blush exactly where you want it, and layer. Mine is all grey, with two tone grey hair/fibers. It has a flat base so it can stand upright on my vanity on it's own.

I just got the dual shadow/liner brush so I haven't used it yet. It feels just as soft though. I put pictures of all these brushes above.

UPDATE: The bronzer brush started shedding after about a month and a half of use. I now use the dual shadow/liner brush more than any other. I find the shadow brush is really good at applying cream shadows and UDPP. I find I NEVER use the Powder or the angled blush brush, not sure why.

I got my brush from Marshalls for about $5- it's a foundation brush on one end and a concealer brush on the other. I've never used a foundation brush before (I used to use my fingers or latex sponges to apply liquid foundation) but now that I've seen how AIRBRUSHED my skin looks when I use this brush to apply my foundation, I'll never use anything else! This brush is awesome- no hairs breaking or falling out- very easy to clean and dries pretty quickly. I use the foundation brush to apply my undereye concealer as well. Great brush for the price and I think I'm going to go back and look for the angled blush brush, too.

Just back from TJ Maxx. Picked up the dual ended Eyeshadow/Eyeliner from the Professional Metal Collection. Very nice white bristles with black tips, black metal handle. Cost me a whopping $4.99. The shadow side is the perfect size for me, is super soft & dense. Packs a good amount of product. I have yet to master an angled eyeliner brush & I have a feeling I'll have better luck with this brush as it's firmer than my other angled brushes - but still has that softness to it. Will most definitely add more of these to my collection!

I love these brushes. I got mine at tj maxx for about 7.99 I think. I bought the kabuki because I really needed one but didn't want to buy the mac 182 that juicystar07 loves. These are so cheap and they buff out all the streaks my foundation brush leaves. I have not tried this with mineral foundation but thats because I don't own any. I also like to use this with powder to set my makeup. This brush is soooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!

I buy these at Marshall's or TJ Maxx- have the blush, two angle brushes(big&small) and probably one or two others. These are wonderful, at any price. I have never had a single hair come out, and they pick up the exact amount of product. I am so impressed that when I see these in the store I have to talk myself out of buying repeats of the ones I have. Fantastic.

I got a 5 brush set on sale at TJMaxx for $7 bucks AND it all comes in a cute metallic zippered case (it looks like a small clutch). Wow! What a find. These brushes are a nice size and soft as others have mentioned. The set includes the following brushes: powder, angled, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lash/comb. Overall very impressive and would of been a great buy at its original price of $14. I had to dig through the 'clearance' rack to find these, felt like I hit the jackpot for my effort!

I bought the Kabuki brush and the Eyeshadow/Eyeliner duo. They are SO soft!!!!! There was a powder brush and an angled blush brush, but I don't really need those but this kabuki is so soft.

They smelled a little bit after I took them out of packaging, but after a quick wash, they smell fine!
