Seriously, the Caress Burnt Brown Sugar & Karite Butter scrub is an HG product for me! I don't think it really exfoliates that well, but it smells AMAZING and doesn't dry out my skin! I haven't tried out any of the other products yet, but I look forward to! What do you think of Free Beauty Events? Do you ever check it out? Have you been to one of the events?

RENEWAL DUO FIBER BRUSH

I saw these Renewal brushes at Rite Aid a while back and picked up this one. There are several, but this small duo fiber brush is all I was lacking in my massive brush collection! I really wanted a smaller one to use for a light application of blush.

It's a bit bulky, but I think it's pretty fantastic for the $7.99 I paid for it! The handle is a bit rubbery feeling and has a decent weight to it. You could use it with foundation also, though I think it's a bit too small for that and would take forever to do your whole face. You can use this brush with liquids, creams, and powders.

Please ignore the bronzer on my Sigma duo fiber brush! I love how much smaller the Rite Aid brush is. It is perfect for blush! It's not a dense, so it doesn't pick up too much product---which is exactly what I was looking for.

The brush is much smaller than my Sigma brushes, but I don't mind. The bristles are really soft and I'm enjoying it very much. I haven't experienced any weird smells, shedding, or bleeding with it either, which is fantastic for a drug store brush!  Although I haven't tried the other brushes out (I did open the boxes and feel them though!!), I think they are a safe bet that they are good quality!

Have you tried these brushes? What do you think?
