Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. What’s for dinner, babe? I’m starved!
P.P.S. How was your day? Mine felt loooong.
MAC 217 will ALWAYS be my favourite blending brush. ALWAYS. Well, probably. Hahaha.
I love the burberry brush!
I don’t own the MAC 217 but I have a Costal Scents dupe that’s one of my favorite eye brushes! They’re super veratile! I’ve actually tried these brushes while working at Nordstrom and I totally agree that they’re must haves! I’m actually thinking of hauling them anyway even though I have dupes. I really like the quality of MAC brushes
I clicked on this wondering what brush you’d convince me I needed, and the answer is the Burberry one. I have the three mac brushes, and love them, plus I have mac 228 that I think is pretty similar to the little Too Faced brush, and so I will try it for along the brow bone, that’s brilliant.
But I am totally lacking a nice pencil brush!
I like the burberry one!
it has been a long day! and when i get my day off on friday, i’m going to enjoy going through the posts you’ve put up from the week! i love the videos, karen!
it has been an 11+ hour day. pretty cool, though. working with a company that has an office based in the santa clara area. it was so nice to see a Bay Area area code!!!! whaaa whaaa?! 🙂
i need to go home again. getting withdrawals.
keep the videos/posts coming! looking forward to my rest day of ice cream and catching up on MBB!
Totally unrelated to brushes – what nail polish are you wearing?? Is it green? I am obsessed with finding a dark green polish and keep finding only full-on glittery or so-dark-it-looks-black. Fail.
…I almost exclusively use my fingers for eyeshadow 😛 Does that make me a bad person? I would like to try the glory that is (apparently) MAC 217, but $70+ for a brush is a bit more than I can stomach!
I loved this video. Surprisingly enough I don’t have any of the brushes you talked about. I think it’s time to expand my eye brushes collection.
Ooh, I’ve been meaning to invest in some great eye brushes and these seem pretty marvelous! 😀
I’ve also heard a LOT of great things about Sigma brushes — would you ever consider doing a review of how those babies stack up next to MAC brushes?? (Especially the eye brushes!)
MAC 239 is an absolute favorite of mine! Don’t know how I lived without it really!
This is such a great list! And I love all the explanations of how you use them. Great video Karen!
