Charm Brushes and Biore Hauls + Reviews

By Allaboutjyl
Hellos! Today I wanted to share my recent haul mainly about Brushes and Makeup Remover ^_~
I have been wanting to try out different brand of brushes as I get tired of having to wash my SigmaF80 every single day!  I only prefer using Sigma brushes therefore sometimes I get too lazy that I would literally NEGLECT washing it! (which is NOT a good practice-__-) I’ve tried quite a few kabuki brushes from Elf, Ellana and Marionnaud but all three brands are not even close to ¼ of Sigma’s quality >_< I have heard so many great reviews with regards to Charm Brushes so I opted to try out this brand since the price is not that expensive either =)
Here are the Charm Brushes on my recent haul: 1)   Charm Vegan Contour Blush Brush   Price: PHP399/ USD 10
What it claims: ·   Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair ·   Applicable for Wet or Dry blush product ·   Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin My Reviews: ·   The density of the hairs is good enough as it picks  up appropriate amount of product for makeup application (especially when in comes to contouring) ·   The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin ·   The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup ·   The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding ·   Overall quality is definitely nice as it makes blush and contouring application a lot easier! ^_~
2)   Charm Vegan Powder Brush   Price: PHP399/ USD 10 What it claims: ·   Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair ·   Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin ·   Able to distribute powder evenly across face My Reviews: ·   The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin ·   The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup ·   The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding ·   Overall quality is good only if they could improve on the density so that setting of powder would appear more even
3)   Charm Essentials Angled Kabuki Buffer Brush   Price:PHP650/USD 15 What it claims: ·   Made with Ultra Lush Bristles that feels velvet on skin ·   Allows a buildable coverage because of the density of the brush ·   Folds and contours skin so that no spot would be missed out        My Reviews: ·   The hairs are super soft and skin feels velvety ·   Noticed that the bristles are quite thin which makes buffing and contouring application easier (simply glides on skin) ·   The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding ·   Overall quality is nice only if they could improve on the density so that buffing of foundation would be more even
4)   Charm PRO#14 Precise Angled Liner Brush   Price: PHP399/ USD 10 What it claims: ·   Allows to create a very precise and sharp thin line ·   Diagonally shaped brush can achieve the eye lining perfection My Reviews: ·   The brush is thin and long which makes it look quite flimsey ·   The glue they have used to attach the brush head has dried out so the moment I took out the brush from the sleeve; the brush head has dislocated already ·   I don’t think I could use this brush and able to create a perfect eye lining as the bristles are not designed steady enough ·   This is my least favorite brush judging with the flaw appearance and non-functional claims.
Overall Reviews of the Charm Brushes:
  • I would probably rank it as 8/10 since the rinsing and drying process of these brushes does take pretty quick plus the bristles stay in shape even without a brush guard ^_~
5)   Biore Cleansing Oil   Price: PHP430/ USD 10 What it claims: ·   Dissolves and removes stubborn makeup while lifting away dirt and impurities ·   Leaves no greasy film on face and maintains skin natural moisture balance My Reviews: ·   Removes makeup thoroughly without irritating eyes ·   One pump is sufficient to remove all types of  makeup including those stubborn mascara that takes forever to remove ·   Very gentle as no extreme rubbing is required ·   Have a hint of sweet fruity scent ·   Does not irritate existing acne or encountered any discomfort from a sensitive skin user ·   Does NOT make skin oily or greasy after using (speaking from an oily combination skin user) ·   This is definitely my HG makeup remover to date!!! ^_~
That’s it for my recent hauls and hope you find it helpful ^_~ Thanks for dropping by =)
