retractable lip brush failure
I had another lip brush that lasted for years.......I purchased the Quo retractable lip brush and all of a sudden the brush disapeared into the retractable casing..........the brush also pulled right out of the holder. I asked if I could buy a replacement brush and Shoppers said no......they also said they wouldn't replace it...........never again.......Shoppers has gotten worse the past two years........
Quo Makeup Brushes
I recommend the Quo Makeup Brushes for anyone on the market for budget friendly brushes. I have bought quite a few at shoppers drugmart for unbeatable prices when it comes to brushes. They are not my favorite but they are not bad quality either. I do wish they were a bit softer and they do shed. But in a pinch, these do the job.
I have lots of Quo brushes, partly because where I live, we have few shopping options & Shoppers and Walmart are all we've got for beauty supplies. I like the selection of brushes a la carte in the store, although I find them a bit pricy. I always watch out for the 40% off deals on the Quo brushes in the flyer.
I like the eyeshadow, liner, contour, blending, concealer and foundation brushes a lot. I have had poor experiences with their blush, powder and retractable travelling brush however. I can't stand when a brush leaves bristles all over my face. No matter what, you can't get rid of the bristles! The retractable brush came apart, so I had to toss it.
Conclusion: I think any of the short bristle brushes are really good. Long bristle brushes, try the Body Shop.
I bought one of these, a retractable powder brush with a cover, which I needed for my bag. Got it during one of the Shoppers DM sales, for around $14, I believe.
It's pretty large for a retractable brush, very long handle, sturdily built out of aluminum, but I don't find the bristles very soft compared to my other brushes, many of which are from Coastal Scents and from Michael's craft store. You can get some great deals on very good brushes at Michael's! It's also on the too-large side for a brush to be tossing in my bag. Like having a wrench in my bag LOL It works, but I have other brushes which are far better, and which I paid a lot less for.
Haven't bought any more of these since, simply because they are not that great. Ok, but not great. Nothing to get excited over.
