The Laura Mercier Travel Brush Kit Successfully Tries to Sweep Sticker Shock Under the Rug - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Okay, now I want you to caryatid yourself, and take a deep breath.

Proficient? Okay, now when you're prepare, slowly read the following line…

$85.

Now that feeling there? — that split second when you felt the air forced out your lungs and could barely draw a breath? That's called sticker stupor, and the $85 Laura Mercier Travel Brush Set causes it a lot.

Thankfully, it subsides (somewhat) after a bit of number crunching and quality play time with these super soft brushes.

The kit, one of several of Laura's vacation 2011 offerings, includes four travel size dual-ended eye brushes, a full size skunk brush and a faux snakeskin pouch with a removable insert.

At present, if this were just an $85 kit containing four travel middle brushes, a face brush and a beautiful, zippered pouch, I'd probably feel disappointed and a lilliputian upset, but the dual-tipped brushes serve to justify the price. With brush heads on both ends of four of the brushes, it's like getting nine brushes for $9.44 each — practically a steal for Laura Mercier brushes, which usually sell for $xxx a pop.

As for the quality of these travel brushes, color me impressed. I haven't observed any shedding, loose ferrules or construction mistakes, and their performance seems to exist on par with Laura'due south more expensive total-size eye brushes.

Improve yet, and why I actually like this fix, it covers all of the near important bases for my eye looks, with brushes for brows, concealer, liner, and for applying and blending eyeshadow.

And the full-size skunk brush? Amazing! I can't believe I went without it for so long. Information technology buffs powders, blushes and bronzers with a very low-cal, natural touch. Great for getting that flawless, airbrushed look.

I've tried a bunch of travel castor sets over the years, ranging from drugstore to section, and nearly of them oasis't compared well to their full-size siblings. These, however, are amidst the best travel brushes I've e'er used.

Lightweight, sturdy and meaty, with performance comparable to good total-size brushes? Laura, mad props, girl! Ya done practiced. 🙂
