I was at a MAC seminar at Nordies yesterday and they had this brush in the Brow Beat display. I kept looking at it wondering what the heck it was used for in regard to brows.
Popped onto MAC's site when I got home and searched for 205 but nothing, then came here and saw this thread. Started reading the posts and decided I HAD to get this brush so I ran back to the counter tonight to pick it up (and had to withstand the "back so soon?" and "couldn't stay away, huh?" comments from the MAs...) Told them people online were raving about this brush so I had to try it. The gals didn't seem to know too much about it but I think I piqued their curiosity with my maniacal gushing.
Got home and tried this on one eye with a tube of Zoom Lash that's been giving me clumpy fits and I am already in love! I am considering getting a backup of this brush, but hoping instead that it'll show up at the CCO so I can get two more. I know I'm not even close to having mastered technique with this one but love the results already so it can only get better. HIGHLY recommend this brush but if you're not sure, see if they'll let you give it a go at the counter. As the ultimate test, try it with a mascara that you've been struggling with and see what kind of results you get. You may think twice about tossing that tube in the trash!
Also, from my searches online this brush is essentially nonexistent right now so you may have trouble finding it. I got mine at the Bellevue Square Nordstrom MAC counter and
they had trouble finding it among the stock of brushes - I had a near panic attack thinking they had it on display but didn't actually have it!
