The Perfect Eco-Friendly Kubuki Brush

I discovered the perfect makeup brush.  It's inexpensive, eco-friendly, functional, sleek and it's performance is superb!  Because this brush is retractable it is beneficial in 3 ways.  You can use it to swipe on concealor, brush on blush and also use it to apply a full coverage powder or bronzer. It's an all in one brush and simple to use!  All you need to do is retract the brush a third, or halfway or all the way down to achieve all of it's functions.   Since the brush retracts back into it's casing it is mess-free and is unlikely to contain bacteria like most brushes do. This brush is also compact so it can easily fit in your purse for women on the go. Click here to buy yours.  It is also available at Walgreens and Target stores.
