i just gave my makeup brushes a good shampoo.
and then i noticed that they are all sooooo used up. well they don't really look bad, but their looks gave me a sign that i have to purchase some brand new makeup brushes. but since i'm on a limited budget, i will have to buy the ones that are essential when i'm gonna apply makeup. i have some other makeup brushes that are good as new as i do not really use them, like my lip brushes and this extra blush brush that i got from a brush set that i bought a while ago from MAC.
so the brushes that i need to replace are the following:
MAC 190 SE - which is my foundation brush. i don't wear foundation though; i use tinted moisturizer and i always use this brush when i apply the TM (i use Laura Mercier oil-free TM). and this is an SE brush, meaning i bought this as part of a brush set, and usually for the SE brushes the quality is not at par with the regular 190 brush. the regular one is very expensive though....around $32 USD, though i really think its a good idea to invest on a good brush. so maybe next week i may go to the mall and get myself one.
MAC 187 SE - another one that i got as part of the set. it's really good, although i'm gonna need a new one. i currently use this one to put my loose powder to set my makeup, but once i bought the regular 187, i'm gonna use this one for my MSF.
MAC 252 SE - another SE one. i need a good brush to pat eyeshadow.
Sephora crease brush - i dunno if i'm gonna replace it with a new Sephora brush, or a MAC 222/224, and i'm also considering 217 for replacement.
Brushes that i need to buy:
MAC 266 - i already have MAC 263, and still in good condition, but i use different colors of gel eyeliners....grays, blacks, and browns. and i don't want them mixed up into one brush. i feel that i should have an extra eyeliner brush. 263 and 266 does the same job, but now i'm opting for the 266 one since i already have the 263.
Bobbi Brown ultra fine eyeliner brush - another eyeliner brush for office. i don't want to go to work looking like an emo girl lost in the corporate world. a nice line to define my eyes will be good. maybe i'll also add a black gel eyeliner. man, i'm really angry with my money. ;P
my eyelash curler is still good, i bought it more than a year ago during my tokyo, japan stopover.
hmm....what else?
i think that's all. maybe i'll add a brush bag to store them all in. or maybe i'll just do the sephora-inspired brush holder by enKore of youtube.
