REVIEW: Ecotools By Alicia Silverstone: 5 Piece Set Cosmetic Bag

Ecotools 5 Piece Set

Breaking It Down

This set comes with 4 mineral makeup brushes (made of sustainable bamboo handles and cruetly-free, taklon bristles) and a SUPER cute makeup bag designed by Alicia Silverstone that actually carry the brushes as well:

- Powder Brush

- Finishing Brush

- Eyeshadow Brush

- Brow Brush/Lash Comb

How It Works

Well, depending on your personal preference of applying makeup, you can basically use these brushes any way you want.

Powder Brush

I've been looking for a really good powder brush, and I must say that I really like this one ! Now, it didn't exactly fufill my "quest" to find a SUPER HUGE and fluffy powder brush, but, I know that this whole set, in general, would be an excellent travel makeup brush set, so of course, it'd be a little too much to assume that such a brush would be included in this set. 

Finishing Brush

If I could only live with ONE brush, I'd most likely choose this one ! I don't use it as a finishing brush though, but actually as a liquid foundation "stippler" (is that even a word... ?). This brush, working with my Revlon Colorstay, makes my face look AIRBRUSHED. Yeah. It's THAT good. And it really did impress me, because everyone who has basically tried this foundation knows that once you put it on your face, you only have a short amount of time to blend it out on your face. With this brush though, there's no rush to hurry up and blend, blend, blend once you put foundation on your face. Using this brush, just do a circle-motion to apply the foundation throughout your face, and viola ! Perfection;D

Eyeshadow Brush

This eyeshadow brush was not exactly, EXTRAORDINARY, but I really like it. It does distribute a generous amount of eyeshadow onto my eyelids, and it's a WHOLE lot better than my Covergirl Eyeshadow Brush (what eyeshadow brush isn't ? O.o) but I just wish that the bristles were a lot more compacted and smaller, so EVEN more pigments would get picked up. 

Brow Brush/Lash Comb

I mean, it's a Brow Brush/Lash Comb, what's more to say ? I suppose I could add that I kind of appreciate the somewhat "roughness" (not really "rough" but, firm ?) of the brow bristles, because it keeps my eyebrows in place, but the eyelash comb is I guess, is an eyelash comb. 

Yippie's

- Brushes are EXCELLENT quality (soft, doesn't shed)

- Cheap ! Found this at Wal-Mart for like $13-14

- Bag is cute and can also store makeup in another compartment

- Environmentally friendly ! (Whoop-whoop)

Boo's

- Wish the eyeshadow brush was smaller and a little more compacted

- Brow Brush/Lash Comb was ordinary

Would I Recommend and Repurchase ?

Recommend: DEFINITELY. But hurry, because these are only limited edition !

Repurchase: If I ever lose this set and is in desperate need of more brushes, then yes !
