Charm Brushes and Biore Hauls + Reviews

Hellos! Today I wanted to share my recent haul mainly about Brushes and Makeup Remover ^_~

I have been wanting to try out different brand of brushes as I get tired of having to wash my SigmaF80 every single day!  I only prefer using Sigma brushes therefore sometimes I get too lazy that I would literally NEGLECT washing it! (which is NOT a good practice-__-)

I’ve tried quite a few kabuki brushes from Elf,  Ellana and Marionnaud but all three brands are not even close to ¼ of Sigma’s quality >_<  I have heard so many great reviews with regards to Charm Brushes so I opted to try out this brand since the price is not that expensive either =)

Here are the Charm Brushes on my recent haul:

1)      Charm Vegan Contour Blush Brush                    Price: PHP399/ USD 10

What it claims:

·         Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair

·         Applicable for Wet or Dry blush product

·         Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin

My Reviews:

·         The density of the hairs is good enough as it picks  up appropriate amount of product for makeup application (especially when in comes to contouring)

·         The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin

·         The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup

·         The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding

·         Overall quality is definitely nice as it makes blush and contouring application a lot easier! ^_~

2)      Charm Vegan Powder Brush                    Price: PHP399/ USD 10

What it claims:

·         Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair

·         Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin

·         Able to distribute powder evenly across face

My Reviews:

·         The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin

·         The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup

·         The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding

·         Overall quality is good only if they could improve on the density so that setting of powder would appear more even

3)      Charm Essentials Angled Kabuki Buffer Brush              Price:PHP650/USD 15

What it claims:

·         Made with Ultra Lush Bristles that feels velvet on skin

·         Allows a buildable coverage because of the density of the brush

·         Folds and contours skin so that no spot would be missed out

       My Reviews:

·         The hairs are super soft and skin feels velvety

·         Noticed that the bristles are quite thin which makes buffing and contouring application easier (simply glides on skin)

·         The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding

·         Overall quality is nice only if they could improve on the density so that buffing of foundation would be more even

4)      Charm PRO#14 Precise Angled Liner Brush           Price: PHP399/ USD 10

What it claims:

·         Allows to create a very precise and sharp thin line

·         Diagonally shaped brush can achieve the eye lining perfection

My Reviews:

·         The brush is thin and long which makes it look quite flimsey

·         The glue they have used to attach the brush head has dried out so the moment I took out the brush from the sleeve; the brush head has dislocated already

·         I don’t think I could use this brush and able to create a perfect eye lining as the bristles are not designed steady enough

·         This is my least favourite brush judging with the flaw appearance and non-functional claims.

Overall Reviews of the Charm Brushes:

• I would probably rank it as 8/10 since the rinsing and drying process of these brushes does take pretty quick plus the bristles stay in shape even without a brush guard ^_~

5)      Biore Cleansing Oil             Price: PHP430/ USD 10

What it claims:

·         Dissolves and removes stubborn makeup while lifting away dirt and impurities

·         Leaves no greasy film on face and maintains skin natural moisture balance

My Reviews:

·         Removes makeup thoroughly without irritating eyes

·         One pump is sufficient to remove all types of  makeup including those stubborn mascara that takes forever to remove

·         Very gentle as no extreme rubbing is required

·         Have a hint of sweet fruity scent

·         Does not irritate existing acne or encountered any discomfort from a sensitive skin user

·         Does NOT make skin oily or greasy after using (speaking from an oily combination skin user)

·         This is definitely my HG makeup remover to date!!! ^_~

That’s it for my recent hauls and hope you find it helpful ^_~
