Frugal Friday – Eco Tools Brush Sets

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I will admit I have some raggedy brushes in my collection, so after the last washing I decided I needed some new eye brushes. I wanted to try Eco Tools not onlyÂ to save a fewÂ bucksÂ but also because I’ve heard so manyÂ great things about them.

EcoTools brushes are made of 100% cruelty free, soft talkon bristles, recycled aluminum ferrules, bamboo handles and come with a natural cotton and hemp storage case. TheÂ Eco ToolsÂ company is so green that they donate 1% of all sales to FOR THE PLANET.

I choose the Bamboo 6 pc. eye brush set which includes:

A Large Eye Brush to apply and blend shadows
An Angled Crease Brush to apply color to the crease for definition
A Petite Shading Brushfor use with deepr or accent colors
A Highlighting Brush for under the brow or the inside corners of the eye
A Smudge Brush to smudge shadow or liner along the lash line for a smoky look
A fold up case with mirror

All this for aÂ pittance of Â $8.99 at my local drugstore. I was almost embarrassed at how little I paid. I said almost.Â These brushes are soft, dense Â and get the job done–they pick up color and don’t shed. I cannot abide brushes that shed, it makes me angry.Â And Mama don’t like to be angry. I will say this particular set of brushes are small and therefore probably better suited for travel than everyday use.Â Here is a cool video on how to create a smoky eye with this eye brush set.

The Eco Tools Bronzer Brush is fast becoming aÂ favorite ofÂ makeup junkies. It’s super soft and dense and can be used for bronzer, blush or face powder. This will definitely be my next Eco Tools purchase, especially for $12!
