This kabuki is a hidden treasure in the brush world imo. I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond about a year ago. The brush is still going strong and I have experience little to no fallout of the. The brush is so soft. I like to use it for mineral makeup Only thing is I wish it had white bristles so I could see how dirty it's getting. Other than that no complaints.

Found at K-Mart for $13. Little to no shed, soft as silk, and includes a cute little case to protect it. The case is great for travelling, or just chucking in your purse for on the go. Recommended!

a little scratchy, thoroughly clean and you shouldn't have any probles with shedding. I use this to apply my bare escentuals loose foundation and it works great!

UPDATED: after a few more uses, I have seen some shedding, but this is still a great cheaper kabuki option.

For me, this brush is a great buy. I don't use mineral makeup so this isn't an everyday brush that will get used heavily for my primary face makeup. I use it for blending blush and have used it to buff loose powder over TM; works great for both!

It's quite dense/soft-no scratchy feeling on my sensitive skin.

Don't buy this online though! It's way too expensive online. I found this in a HARMONS store for $12 and change.

It came with the "coffin" case and an extra brush, labeled eyeliner brush. The case is cute and great for travel. I make sure the brush hairs aren't caught in the closure seams before shutting it since it's a tight fit, but that will probably help the brush to retain a nice shape.

The so called eyeliner brush, well, I just don't see how you'd use it as a liner brush. It's flat synthetic white fiber with a rounded tip. It looks like a concealer brush, but feels much softer. I've used it for under eye concealer and that works ok. Might be good for cream eye products.

I got this for $5. I bought two of them, one for backup since it was so cheap. I LOVE it!!! It's very soft, and it comes with a leather case, though it was hard to store in my makeup case and go-to makeup bag.

I was looking for a Kabuki brush and i was thinking about getting a highend kabuki brush but when i saw this one i just had to get it!
I was so surprised when i saw that this was very cheap for 12.00, it was soft, and it came in a leather case! I just had to get it and try it! I am so happy with my purchase. It does the job well and it looks very highend! I am glad i got it instead of buying an expensive highend kabuki brush!

I got the regular sized kabuki (that comes with the little leather case) at K-Mart for $14.99- what a great deal! It retails for $40 on the Posh website. I am in *love* with this brush. After putting off buying the MAC 182 I was lucky enough to score this brush for a fraction of the price of the 182. It is super soft and dense and applies powder, mineral makeup, bronzer, etc. fabulously. I have had a few hairs come out (like maybe 3), but I have used and cleaned this brush many, many times. After playing with the 182 at MAC on several occasions, I think I am liking my Posh brush better! To me, it seems fuller (haven't brought the brush in to MAC to compare so don't quote me lol) and even just a tad softer. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this kabuki and plan on scouring K-Marts for as many Posh brushes as I can find. Also- I have heard some Krogers get Posh brushes. A+++

I have the retractable kabuki brush by Posh. Bought it at the drug store as my first kabuki, as I don't live near a Sephora or any specialty makeup stores, and I also didn't want to spend too much for my first brush. I found the brush to be pleasantly soft, it's a good size and shape, and the retractable metal case is convenient and has been durable. I have had this brush for nearly a year, and after several months, it began to shed, like crazy! I wash it about once a week, and it was fine at first, but now it's become too annoying to use, every morning I have little black hairs sticking to my face and tickling me, and getting all over the sink. So this was okay for a first brush, but I think for my next brush, I'll be ready to splash out for something better, since I'll be using it every day.

I really like this kabuki. The one I have is the traveling size one and I got this for 10 dollars. It is soft and dense just how a kabuki suppose to be. It's easy to wash, i use soap and then use conditioner afterward. This brush is great for my mineral powder foundation, press powder and powder blush. Anything with powder works great with this brush. The only problem with this is that it sheds a little- very little so far but will update if anything change. I dont use this daily since I dont use make up everyday.

For the price, this kabuki brush is great. The posh line has really soft make up brushes and they're very affordable. I use the kabuki brush everyday for my bare minerals foundation. I had to switch my original kabuki that came with the kit because it was just too prickly on my face. It also came with a portable kabuki case which is great for travel. I gave it 4 lippies instead because it sheds at times but not a lot. Update: the brush doesn't hold up its shape for too long. I've washed it about 5 times now and the bristles have started to fan out. It's a lot bigger than what it used to be.

I got this brush for about $14.99 at K-Mart and I actually bought it just for the adorable little case! Then when I opened it and felt the brush, the quality was extremely amazing! I really like this kabuki brush. It's soft and so cute! It doesn't shed eihter. I would highly recommend this. It gives the expensive competitor brushes a run for their money!

I own both the retractable kabuki and the kabuki with the leather case. Both are incredibly soft!
The kabuki w/the leather case: This kabuki is huge and dense! This one can be used to either buff in powder or blend colors together. With the leather case it's definitely travel friendly, if you want to bring a huge kabuki with you. This does have a smell to it when you wash it, but it's gone when it's completely dried. It also sheds some hairs, but that comes with the territory of buying a densely packed brush. Also, mine had some dye coming out when washing, so I'm hoping that'll stop soon (I've only washed it 3x since I've had it).
The retractable kabuki: This one is also dense and soft, not as huge as the kabuki w/the leather case, but a decent size. Same kinda deal with the kabuki w/the leather case: it has a smell when you wash it, but it's gone when it's completely dried. Can definitely be used buff on powder or blend colors. This also shed hairs when I first got it out of the packaging, again kinda normal with a dense brush, shed a few more when I washed it the first time, shed one or two the next couple washes, but now it doesn't shed at all.
I love both these brushes. If I had to choose, I don't think I could, cuz they're both kinda different; I can put either in my purse, but I'd choose the retractable for my purse and the case in my vanity. I would repurchase these if something ever happened to them.

I have owned many kabukis and while this isn't the worst Kabuki I have used (that honor goes to BE and an old, old Aromaleigh Kabuki), this one is by far NOT the softest kabuki I have ever used. I also do not like it for MMU. It is too big and not dense enough. It also sheds like crazy and it smelled horrible at first (I think due to the plastic case it came in), but I have only washed it twice, so perhaps that might go away.

My favorite kabuki, by far, to apply MMU is the Alima #25 or the Aromaleigh Taklon kabuki...they give far superior coverage and are way, way softer, I think, because they have synthetic hair. The Posh kabuki, IMO, would be better for bronzer or setting powder. I have not been impressed by Posh brushes at all...I would rather save my money and get a brush that will actually work for me.

I really wanted to love this brush. However, it keeps shedding when I'm washing it and using it to apply powder. It is soft but very dense in a way and it takes so long to get dry. Mine ended up smells like mold so I had to through it out :(

WOW

This brush is amazing!

It is super soft! It feels just like my tiny (medium length hair) kitten's fur (I'm not a crazy cat lady, I swear!). Lovely lovely lovely!
It did shed A LOT when I first got it and with the first two or three washings, but now it hardly sheds anymore and it's still just as soft and dense as it always was.

Oh how dense! That's why I love this brush! I like my EDM Kabuki but find it a tad too floppy for a GREAT application of pressed powder... THIS brush is stiff enough to really buff in the powder for a lovely finish.

Now lets talk about the little Kabuki coffin that it comes with.... GENIUS! It is the perfect way to store the brush for travel or just general safe keeping since Kabuki brushes just tend to wander around my bathroom sink without a home due to the fact that they would drown in my brush holder with all the long handle brushes.

All in all, for $16 Canadian (got it on sale, usually $19.99) it is a super good buy that I recomend to all of MUA.

Wow, I am so impressed with this brush!!! It is so soft and dense, and it applies my powder foundation like a dream. I was hesitant on buying this at first I have been taught that when you go cheap with kabukis, you get what you pay for. This is an exception to that "rule"! For $15, you can get a great brush that applies powder flawlessly and a neat little fake leather case to put it in for on the go! I plan on buying its mini version soon for blush and mineral makeup. This is my HG brush, I love it! You can find it at most drugstores.
EDIT: Be careful if you bring the brush in its case in your carry-on luggage on an airplane. Security has stopped me twice thinking that it was a tool, which are not allowed in carry-on baggage. Obviously I could hurt someone with a big fluffy brush lol. Not a big deal but I thought that I would mention it. :)

I love this product: it's soft, easy to use, picks up powder very well without making a mess, it's very dense and the shedding is minimal. This is the brush I use the most (even more than my MAC kabuki); it's also very portable with it's cute case, albeit kind of biggy :)

I love my POSH Kabuki!!! It has replaced the Too Faced retractble as my favorite brush! I have experienced some shedding with the brush, but it's minimal. I love how silky the brush feels!

I love love love this brush!
I live in Canada, so we don't have eco-tools or any of those
great drugstore brushes (seriously people...i have shed tears over the lack of products available to us Canucks! it's not fair!)
Anywho--ranting aside--i use this brush errrrryday! It works well with my liquid foundation (i know it *sounds* crazy, but it blends like nobodies business) And also for any of my mineral powders, usually to set my foundation!
It is large and in charge, my only gripe is that it takes a while to wash because there are SO many bristles..But I won't complain! I bought it for 18.99 at my local Rexall Pharmaplus! and i wuvs it :)
