EcoTools Face and Body Sculpting Brush Review

A few weeks ago I went on iHerb and bought a few things from there. My purchases include organic green tea, lip balms and EcoTools Face and Body Sculpting Brush. I also purchased the E.L.F. Studio HD Powder which I will review in another post.

Today I will review the Face and Body Sculpting Brush. This brush cost me US$9.97 from iHerb. It's definitely a good price for a nice quality brush.

I purchased this because I thought it looked similar to the Rae Morris Radiance brush which is very expensive. However when the brush arrived it is actually bigger and thicker than the Rae Morris Radiance brush, so it's definitely not a dupe. However,  I still love this brush.

EcoTools is a great brand. It's a cruelty free brand. The brush bristles are made using cruelty-free synthetic taklon  bristles and the handle is made from bamboo. The bristles are so soft and feels so beautiful on the face.

I originally thought this brush is like the Radiance brush by Rae Morris which can be used for contouring the cheeks. However the bristles are quite dense and thick so it is too big to do precise contouring of the cheek. It may work if you squeeze the bristles to make it thinner but I think it's way too much work if I am in a hurry in the morning.

So how do I use this brush?

I really love using this brush to apply my foundation. Usually I have been using the Real Techniques face brush to apply my foundation but when I use this face and body sculpting brush, it applies foundation so fast and easily. It has cut my foundation application time by half. And because it is so dense it buffs in the foundation nicely into my skin. I use a sweeping motion side to side when I apply the foundation all over my face and on my nose I do a up down sweeping motion. And as it's a face and body sculpting brush, I can easily blend my foundation down to my neck and décolletage.

This blush is also great for applying powder all over the face. And lastly, although it may not be fully suitable for cheek contouring, this brush is great for applying bronzer all over the face. I also use this brush to contour around my jawline, my neck and my décolletage.

Overall I just really love this brush. I am amazed how versatile it is. It's definitely a great addition to my brush collection and at US$9.97, you can't go wrong with it!

iHerb Haul

So I didn't have time to upload any post last weekend since I was away. I went for a long weekend trip to Wellington, New Zealand. This was my second time visiting Wellington. The first time I went there was over 12 years ago when I went there on a high school band trip and all I remembered then was going to a museum and that it was cold and wet the whole 2 days we were there. Anyway it was nice and beautiful on the weekend I visited this time. I had a great time. And after I came back I finally receive my iHerb package I ordered a couple of weeks ago.

This was my very first order from iHerb and since I spent over $40 I received $10 off the total.

So here's my haul:

So here is a list of all the products pictured above:

• Ecotools Ecopouf bath sponge
• Ecotools Sustainable Moisture Gloves
• Ecotools Sustainable Moisture Socks
• Acure 100% Certified Organic Argan Oil
• Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator
• Real Techniques Your Base/Flawless Core Collection Face Brushes

I know I already have way too many makeup brushes but I have been wanting to try the Real Techniques face brushes, particularly the buffing brush for liquid foundation and iHerb sold the core collection for only US$17.99, so I had to get it. I will be posting a review on this collection once I have use them a few times. One thing that I do want to say though, is that they are smaller than I expected.

I wanted to buy the Argan oil because I've heard so much rave about Moroccanoil argan oil but it is too expensive so I decided to find an alternative and I came across Acure 100% certified organic argan oil on iHerb. It says on the bottle that it can be used for the hair, skin care, hands and nails, and the cuticles. 

Anyway, since I just received this iHerb haul today, I won't be able to give much opinion on them but as I get to use them, I will be posting reviews on them as I go.

I am very happy with all the purchases I got from iHerb and will definitely purchase from them again. There's a big range of health products including skincare and makeup. If you do want to purchase from iHerb.com, you can use the code HJP750. This code will take off $10 for purchases over $40 or $5 off for purchases under $40. The shipping rate to Australia is quite cheap too so it's worth buying products from iHerb.

Happy Shopping!
