Hello Kitty

I was bawling to my bf about how the HK brush set i ordered is now on back order! they said they will ship within 2 weeks but, i was so excited to get it. well what did i do? while i wait for all my HK stuff to come in? I went to bloomingdales, and picked up PINK FISH! and my oh my is it a pretty color. I promise myself to only use it right after i wash my hands so that i dont get it tainted with bacteria! its so soft and creamy and the color payout is very nice. i look like i have the most lucious, soft and kissable lips! i also picked up a cremsheen glass in partial to pink. it smells delicious and feels very light but a bit sheer. I also bought hair dye in black blue! my favorite color, my hair has been lookin a bit dull and grown out so much. cant wait to have that nice extremely black hair color!

Stippling Love!

^^cs - ulta - lumere - silk naturals - auraline beauty ^^

^^AB - SN - Lumere - Ulta - CS ^^

So if you cant tell, i love me some stippling brushes!! all are non-mac and pretty cheap!
the line-up
Auraline Beauty - $9.60
Silk Naturals - $5.99
Lumere - $16
Ulta - $26
Coastalscents.com - $??

So these are some stippling brushes i have collected over the course of a year or so. the newest one is the auraline beauty brush, which I am not too fond of. these prices are from the websites, not necessarily how much i got them for. for ulta it was free because it was buy 2 get 2 free and i ordered other brushes so it came out free. the coastalscents one is no longer on the website, they dont have the black on black but a silver one, which i cant say much about since i dont have it. I am still waiting for the MAC 187SE from the HK collection to come in, and the one from sigmamakeup.com to see how those compare to these brushes as well.

Density - you can tell from the picture with the view of the density of the white fibers on the brush that the coastalscents is the most FULL, and the others are pretty sparse.

Shedding - All shed black hair on initial and maybe even 2nd and 3rd washing, the lumere and AB had dye come out.

My favorite? Hands down the Coastalscents brush! too bad they dont sell that one anymore, im not sure about the silver handled one from CS. The most important aspect of the stippling brush to me is the amount of synthetic white fibers that are on the brush it self, and how full the black hairs are as well. On most of the stippling brushes, the white fibers are vary sparse, and you can tell from the first picture how it compares to the CS stippling brush.
