Re: essence brushes from durgstores
I agree, EoB brushes are great =)
They are really affordable and are very very reasonably soft, but of course not as soft as the higher end brands that use better hairs, synthetic and/or real.
The only two things I didn't like about this brand is that it sheds. Now it doesn't shed like a cat. It only shedded a couple times out of moderate usage. This includes the big and medium sized powder brushes and the eyeshade dome brush that was part of a 4-piece set.
The other thing I didn't like about the brand was that when I washed my brushes, it was bleeding a lot. The color came out to be a foresty-green with a touch of dark blue for me. Pretty color for an eyeshadow but not for this brush when its bleeding lol.
Great brush for those who do not mind bleeding and shedding. I personally don't care that horribly about the shedding and bleeding. Yes, I do prefer it to not bleed and shed, but it's not like those factors annoy me to death. EoB is great for beginners or anyone who is on a budget or just feels like saving money to buy other makeup with the money saved from buying these brushes.
