Best of the Brush Sets!



We love love a great brush set. It can make or break your make up application and as professionals-using the "right" brush can save us time, while still getting the perfect look.
My pro brush collection looks like my personal one...it is a mix of very expensive high end brushes and also many I bought and hand cut from our local craft store. Just like the make up in our kit, we use whatever it takes.
Often we get brush collections and bust them up, using what we love and giving away the ones that don't often get used. We were on the hunt (especially around Holiday time) for fabulous brush sets that rocked our world a bit. All at different price points. We posted pics of our top 3 favs, with a nod to 2 other goodie sets (on opposite ends of the price point). You can't go wrong with any of these sets. My advice is to invest in a top of the line set for your vanity at home and buy a more budget friendly set for travel (that way, you won't go into a panic if something happens to them).
The 1st is a fabulous 6 piece brush set from Bobbi Brown @$175.00-luxury worth every penny.

The 2nd is a sweet double sided brush set from Laura Mercier @ $85.00...this is my travel set and I love it-talk about bang for your buck!

The 3rd is a fantastic value brush set from Sonia Kashuk (found online and at Target)...@ $19.99, you can't find better brushes and the case is too cute (all about the wrap and the case it comes in-usually you have to pay extra for that!).

A nod and shout out to 2 other favs we have...the luxury set from Trish McEvoy $245.00. We love love love (did we say love?) these...take good care of them and you will have them forever!
Eco Tools Brush sets by Alicia Silverstone...get the green nod and are adorable while actually "working" as fabu tools. Check online or at Ulta, Walgreens, and CVS for the latest with Eco brushes-they rock and the price point rocks right along with the product.

Next week...our favorite holiday reds!! xo
