EcoTools Brushes

EcoTools are a series of brushes that I have been extremely keen to try over the past little while, so after much indecision I decided to give the domed bronzer brush and the foam applicator brush a run for their money, and boy was I impressed. The bristles on these brushes, and all EcoTools brushes are made from cruelty-free materials and the handles are crafted from aluminium ferrule and bamboo. That means that not only are these brushes light weight and easy to clean and travel with, as they are sold in a reusable pouch, but they are relatively environmentally friendly. These brushes are pretty easy to clean with a brush cleaning solution and dry back in their natural shape without too much fuss, but like any brush you can't leave them lying down, brushes should really be left to dry upside down so that water doesn't damage the bristles or the glue.

Lets start off with the Domed Bronzer Brush. Well what isn't there to love? This heavenly brush flaunts soft bristles and a wide easy to grip handle. It provides great coverage with pressed bronzer, and if your like me and a touch on the lazy side of life, this brush I have found makes a great powder brush for loose powders as I prefer a more dense brush rather than a looser, longer bristled brush. 

The foam applicator brush has two sides, one for application and one for blending, making this tool useful for liquid, mousse, foam and paste foundations or blushes. The soft foam gently buffs foundation on to the skin without leaving behind a streaky mess like brushes or a pitted textured look like some conventional sponges. The sponge itself is super soft, and even with harsh and repeated use shows no sign of loosening from the handle or starting to deteriorate (I've had problems like this in the past with beauty blender like tools). 

After trying these brushes myself and hearing only good things from friends that have used them as well, I'm very keen to try other EcoTools products such as their paddle brush, but unfortunately I'm having a little trouble actually finding one in Australia. I'm also keen to try out their Face and Body Sculpting Brush, but again it's proving hard to find. I have also herd nothing but good things about the EcoTools false eyelashes range, which I'm hoping to be able to find online, along with these other products soon!

Price: Domed Bronzer Brush retails in Australia for $19 , and the Sponge Brush retails for around $17

Available range: EcoTools offers a total of 20 single brushes and a number of selected sets, in Australia, I personally have only ever seen 14 of these brushes and a few of these sets which is a real shame. Other EcoTools products such as hairbrushes and false eyelashes aren't really available on the Australian market.
