Ok. I told myself that I wasn't going to make another post on brushes, I mean, not for a while because I am very happy with my current brush set from CHARM, but here I am again. I couldn't help myself because I found yet another set of brushed that have tickled my fancy in great makeup tools.

CHARM Pretty in Pink 14-pc Vegan Makeup Brush Set, PhP 2,500

I took these photos as soon as I received them about 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to test-drive them first before I made a review, just in time for Mother's Day too!

As a makeup artist, I am pretty OC when it comes to the makeup brushes I use for my clients. Top quality brushes from MAC, Shu Uemura, Bobbi Brown, etc. They are kept upright in a MAC brush tumbler so the brushes won't have creases and remain perfectly round at the edges, stored in a cool dry place, shampooed and dried under the sun on a drying rack twice a week, and thoroughly cleaned with an anti-bacterial brush cleaner ever night, after each use.

As for my own personal brushes though, I never really cared which ones I get my hands on. When I travel, I bring with me travel sized brushes (that are waaaay too short handled that you're like "what the...?!") that you can buy cheap at the department stores that are stored in those little plastic bags the size of a credit card holder. I would then buy other short handled brushes but are very stiff and some are annoyingly soft. Most of these generic, mass-produced brushes don't come in actual travel bags so I just make do.
