Review of The Brush Guard by Jojoba

noreply@blogger.com (My Beauty Basket) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:21:00 +0000

Below is a review of The Brush Guard by Jojoba of mymakeupreviews.blogspot.com Jojoba is beauty blogger from KL, Malaysia.

I have often said that makeup tools are extremely personal. They are more so than makeup itself as each person has his/her own method of applying makeup. However, this review is not about any makeup brushes or mascara curler. It is about how an inexpensive invention can save the life of your favourite brushes!

This is called The Brush Guard. You can find this product on The Brush Guard. (If you check out that site, you can also see Enkore raved about these little tubes in his video clip. I am adding that clips here so you can all see it too.)

The Brush Guard
by Enkore

And here are what I have. Two packs of The Brush Guard Variety Packs. :)

Variety Pack:
1 Shadow/Liner (ex. small)
2 Blush (small)
2 Foundation (medium)
1 Powder/Kabuki (large)

Close-up of The Brush Guard

Hmmm. I know what's on your mind. When I saw these fishnet like straw tubes, I had doubts about them. They looked way too skinny and flimsy to protect my brushes! So I just read the instruction for the sake of reading since the products were already in my possession. Here is the instruction for your interests:

The Brush Guard claims its products can be used on brushes of various sizes!

So I pressed The Brush Guard to see what were they like. They felt very flexible. The edges of the openings were rough due to the cuts. The rough edges were all facing outwards so I was sure they wouldn't damage my lovely brushes. Then I pressed them open and the netted tubes popped up easily.

And the netted tube has its purpose. It prevents bristles building up smell. The net also helps brushes speeding up the drying process even though the brushes won't dry as fast as when placing the brushes directly on a dry towel like Enkore did in one of his video clips.

Then it's time to put these tubes to test! Here was what I did.

The instruction says that you can only slide the guard from the handle to the bristles.

This was what happened when I didn't follow the instruction!
(My heart still skips each time I see this picture.)

I did that only for a second and stopped! What happened was that when I tried to pull the guard off from the opposite direction (bristles to the handle), the bristles were caught in the fishnet! Gosh, these were my brand new Shu Uemura Brushes from Mika Holiday Collection! I immediately stopped and took this picture. Grrr... The things I did for reviews!!!

Therefore, please do not tempt to repeat my mistake! The instruction says so and you better just follow it!!!

Now, do the narrow tubes work for different brushes? Yes, they are very expandable and roomy! Have a look at this picture please.

Cool, isn't it? Now it's high time to try all of them out! There were 6 in a pack so I added my mini Make Up For Ever Brow Brushes (from the Brow Corrector Kit) to the test too.

Close-up of my Shu Powder Brush with The Brush Guard - closed

And opened up

The brushes had traveled with me on a plane to Sabah, (cramped in a tiny makeup bag, then jam-packed again in a laptop backpack filled with tons of things). They are still in great shape, as good as new, thanks to The Brush Guard.

I have washed all the brushes yesterday. I dried them with The Brush Guard on. Now all the brushes have dried up and they remain in their original shapes perfectly. This following picture was taken from The Brush Guard (as I don't have a glass here to show the brushes drying this way because I am still away from home.)

It's ingenious!

My Verdict:

These are cheap investment for protecting expensive brushes. If you love your brushes, you have to give The Brush Guard a try. Just brilliant!

Eyes of the Day (EOTD)

noreply@blogger.com (My Beauty Basket) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:55:00 +0000

With Flash

I wanted to try a slightly smokey brown eye for my EOTD. I used shadows from the 28 neutral palette. Please excuse the shiny skin and ungroomed eyebrows.

EOTD Smokey Blue

noreply@blogger.com (My Beauty Basket) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 10:12:00 +0000

My cousin M visited me today and I wanted her to try the palettes. Before playing with the palettes, she mentioned that she has always wanted to try blue eyeshadows so I tried my best to do a smokey blue eye for her.

Kindly excuse the ungroomed brows and imperfect blending as I know too well that I need more practice in applying eyeshadows (Actually it's not halata under normal lighting. It's obvious lang with the use of the flash :-).
My cousin loved her EOTD. She mentioned that she used to be conscious of the colors she wore (clothes, make up, etc) because of her morena skin. She even tried using skin lightening soaps and lotions in an attempt to achieve whiter skin. It's only now in her mid-twenties that she has accepted and loved her natural color. She knew she could pull off wearing a cool color in spite of her morena skin tone.

I used two shades of blue, black, and the silver shadow from the regular 88 palette. I also used Art Deco's eyeshadow base to prevent creasing and to make them last longer on oily lids .
