Let's Talk Brushes

MAC Makeup Brushes:

So, I have a love - hate relationship with my MAC Makeup Brushes. I have a feeling most ppl who buy them do...LOL. They are probably the best brushes you can use which is where I have my love for them but, they cost so damn much...which is way I hate them.

I'm sure you have seen YouTube reviews, Blog postings & Pics galore of these brushes. This is just one more pic out there on the internet...of mine. at the top of the pic to the left is my MAC Brush Roll, an item I highly recommend to anyone who has a MAC Brush Collection, or is just starting to buy them. I just wish it was bigger, you will find as I have that there just isn't enough space in the Brush Roll to hold all your Brushes...I need to buy another one probably 2 more :(

On the top right of the pic is my MAC Brush Tool-Belt another recommended item. it is great for holding your Brushes while you are applying cosmetics to others. it does hold alot more Brushes then the Roll but, if you choose to store your Brushes that way, it doesn't help to keep them clean from dust & dirt in the air & you will have to deep clean them more often, plus I am a smoker so I prefer not to leave my MAC Brushes out to the air.

These Brushes are a few of the ones I purchased from M's Makeup Emporium on eBay (I talked about her store in a prior posting) The #184 & #179

Sorry that the images aren't clear enough to read the Brush numbers, for some reason I just can't get enough clarity from the pictures & I can't figure out how to turn the flash off. That's probably why I haven't gotten a web-cam yet...I'm to damn electroniclly challanged...LOL
