Review: EcoTools Retractable Kabuki
Name: EcoTools Retractable Kabuki
Product: 5/5
Price: $7-10
Available: Target, Walgreens, Ulta and other stores that sell EcoTools
I was lucky to find this brush at a local Walgreens a couple of months ago. I had been hearing about it for a while, and I jumped on the chance to purchase this brush, especially since this was the last one in the store. This was actually my first retractable kabuki I’ve owned, and the only kabuki brush that I actually liked. This has been toted as a very affordable alternative to Too Faced’s Bear Kabuki in terms of softness and how dense it is.
I love this brush. Plain and simple. It applies my mineral foundation like a dream and a half. It gives me good, buildable coverage without making my skin looky cakey. It buffs in the product with the full head, and there is absolutely ZERO prickli-ness that can happen with cheap and crappily made brushes. This is extremely well made, and I have been using mine for a while now, and cleaned it several times with no fall out. The fibers are synthetic, which makes it perfect for buffing in liquid foundation, which is what I do now for my foundations. It makes the application extremely fast and easy. The brush itself is housed in recycled aluminum, which makes this brush very, very eco friendly for those who are limiting their carbon foot print. I highly recommend this brush to everyone who wants an amazing kabuki brush that is extremely affordable and just plain cute!

EcoTools – Earth Friendly Makeup Brushes
Paris Presents made a huge splash earlier this year when they released a new line of makeup brushes called EcoTools. These brushes are very earth friendly, they are made from bamboo, which is a plant that can grow about 4 ft in one day, recycled aluminum, and synthetic bristles.
These brushes run in the price range of $3.99 to $10.99 for the 5 piece set. These brushes are extremely well made, and you definitely get your money’s worth. These can be picked up in a variety of stores, including Walgreens, KMart, Target, Ulta, CVS and Albertsons. You can also pick these up online at Drugstore.Com and Walgreens.Com.
I personally own the 5 piece set and the full sized powder brush. The powder brush cost all of $7.99, which makes it cheaper than my EOB powder brush was $9.99 and the EcoTools brush is much softer and distributes product better. The 5 piece contains a blush brush, eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush, concealer brush and eyebrow comb/ brush combo. The brushes in the set are full sized brushes, the blush brush is almost the same size as my powder brush.
