Hi everyone!
After a long, loooooong time…. Thank God, I’m back! I’ve
been very lazy blogging these past few months, but at last! I found something
worth blogging! Yey! =D
Alright, so these past few months I've been really
interested with make-ups. For those people who know me personally, this
might be a little shocking for them hahaha! I’m actually a type of girl who is
contented with a clean face and a loose powder, preferably Johnson’s Baby
Powder. I know, I’m a late bloomer! Thanks to my bestfriend - Aika, my gay
friend - Derick, and the EM-spiration - Michelle Phan… They gradually introduced
me to the world of makeup, and all the kikay-ness that goes with it.
When it comes to makeup, I always go for the simple, natural
everyday look. I've bought few good make-ups, but I noticed I’m not getting the
“look” that I’m trying to achieve. After watching one of Michelle Phan’s video,
I realized that it’s because of my brushes! I was just using those free, small
and hard-to-use applicators that comes with the make-up I bought. And no matter
how good the quality of your makeup is, the free applicators just can’t bring
that out! So, if you want to achieve the “look” that you want, invest on your
brushes!
Okay, so for a newbie like me… What do I know about these
confusing brushes?! The wide variety of eyeshadow colors already makes me
dizzy, and here’s another one that will add to my dizziness! The confusing
world of make-up… there’s so much to learn hahaha! Thank God, Google is there
for us lost people trying to search for answers! =D
For my first set of brushes, the search was really hard. I
didn't have any idea that brushes can be that ridiculously expensive! So, I
tried searching for the cheap, but good quality ones... And Google gave the answer!
Presenting…. EcoTools!
EcoTools is a brand that produces eco-friendly products! It
doesn't just make you beautiful, it also helps mother Earth! Don’t you just
love supporting that kind of cause… =)
Being a newbie in the world of makeup, I decided to go with
this 6 Piece Starter Brush Set. It includes:
- Blush Brush
- Concealer Brush
- Eye Shading Brush
- Eyeliner Brush
- Lash and Brow Groomer
- Cosmetic Bag
Believe me when I say… These are
really AWESOME brushes! They’re very soft and it doesn't hurt your skin. This is super way better than the cheap brushes
you see in Dept. Store. For the price of P650 (yes! Just P650 for the 6 Piece
Brush Set), you have yourself a great deal here girl! I've shopped around
countless times trying to find good but cheap brushes in Dept. Stores and other
beauty stores, but I couldn't find one! The brush set that I've found that I
think is good and not that expensive compared to Mac, etc. cost more than
P1,200! Ridiculous right?!
TIP: Do not settle for less! Do not be blinded with cheap brushes that you see in the stores. If you check closely the quality of those cheap brushes, you'll see that the bristles are hard. You don't want to scratch your face with those cheap brushes! Big NO NO!

Now, where did I buy it? Well,
that’s another challenge. This baby is not something that you can easily find
here in the Philippines. I heard they sell it in PCX (Personal Care Exchange),
but when I called them they said it’s already out of stock. They also don’t
know when they’re gonna have new stocks. Sucks, I know. So I searched and
searched in Google, and I only found online stores that sell this.
IMPORTANT: THERE’S A LOT OF FAKE ECOTOOLS
BRUSHES ONLINE! BEWARE! Thank God for those blogs and videos that I've found online that
made me aware of this. Thank you sisters
for making those very informative blogs and videos! You girls saved me from
making the same mistake. Thank you! If you wanna know more about Ecotool’s Fake
vs. Original, just search it in Google… You’ll find a lot there even in
Youtube.
Oh by the way, before I forget…
Hahaha! I got mine from Lipstick ALL U A CAN, an online store that sells US
Authentic make-ups, and an official
distributor of EcoTools! So, if you want to be sure… Order here! Jessie is very
accommodating in answering all my questions, you know… being the newbie that I
am hehehe! Fast and smooth transaction, thumbs up! (This is not a paid
advertisement! Just simply commending her which I believe she deserves.)
TIP: This Ecotool 6 Piece Starter Brush Set cost $12.99 in the US. If you convert it in PHP, that would
roughly be around P550. If you see this same Ecotools set online, but is being
sold at a lower price… Beware! That could be a fake one. And also,
investigate first before buying, especially if you’re buying online! Ask the
seller if the brushes came from the US, If he/she tells you that it came from
Singapore that’s why they’re selling it cheaper than the ones in the US, that’s
fake! Ecotools is made in China, but is being sold in the US and other
countries. Check this site for more information: http://www.ecotools.com/where-to-buy.
So, that’s it!
Hope you’ll find this useful.
Enjoy life and much love…
