I bought it at an incredible price. I read the Non Blonde's review of it while it was winging its way to me. I washed it, blotted and caressed it. I dried it on a window sill with a rubber band...

It's scratchy. BUT it's so efficient. Although I have way more brushes than I need, I find myself incorporating Botan into my daily routine. Paired with the nars translucent powder, it sets my...

Update #2- I was determined to figure this brush out, and I think I have. I'm still only giving it a 4 overall because it IS rough, it DOES shed, it DOES bleed dye when washed, and yeah, it's...

This is the most expensive brush I own but it's wonderful! I figured if I didn't like it I would exchange it for something else but after using it I'm hooked. I use it to buff out my makeup, I...

This is an investment piece. Even so, this Kabuki brush is very versatile. Use it to apply mineral foundations, powdered bronzers, and finishing powders. The unique shape of this brush is also...

This is by far one of the only items in my very large make up collection I reach for every single day. It is most definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made. Yes, it is very expensive...

I LOVES IT. Totally didn't want to give it a 5-star review because it is so pricey, but it makes my life so much easier. The first wash, it shed a million (okay, realistically speaking, probably...

I couldn't imagine paying full price for this brush before owning it, but now I know that if I ever lost it, I would HAVE to replace it because I use this brush every day to blend after applying my...

Firstly I'll say I bought this for a great deal on ACW, and only ended up paying about $AU30 for it. However I love it so much that if it went missing I would probably pay the full price for it...

I really wish I did some research (Or even visit a Mecca Cosmetica store to see this brush in person) before purchasing this brush. Firstly, the bleeding of dye after wash does not bother me, soo...

Yes, this brush sheds like crazy when you first get it but i think it's shedding all the short baby hairs that aren't meant to stay in it anyways. I do find this brush very soft and firm though, I...

This brush is as big as the palm of your hand. I don't use it to put my foundation on, but to blend or buff out my makeup once everything is on. It does blend everything seamlessly. The bristles...

After spending £55 on this, it was heartbreaking for it not to work for me. It is HUGE, which I personally love. Although it does make it tricky for dipping into my powder pots...anyway. This brush...

This brush is way too big for my face, but it's awesome for applying mineral foundation to the neck and chest. Too many women stop their makeup application at the jawline. But using the Botan to...
