I’m going to be honest, I purchased the Posh Angle Blush Brush as a substitute for the Sephora Angled Blush Brush — which I LOVE. The Sephora brush costs approx. $30 which is seemingly quite expensive. The Posh Angle Blush Brush can be purchased for less than $10 (it is $6.29 at most drug stores & Harmon’s).  I was hoping the Posh brush might be a cheaper (in terms of $) replica of the Sephora one. The Sephora Angled Brush is always sold out at the store and is a bestseller (according to a Sephora employee at my local Sephora). It is well worth it but difficult to get a hold of. I was excited to find an inexpensive angled blush brush. My excellent experiences with EcoTools brushes have led me to believe that inexpensive brushes can be exceptional in terms of quality and application. My experience with Posh brushes sadly did not meet that expectation!

(1/5)

Pros:

-soft bristles

-good sized handle (perfect for contouring)

Cons:

-poorly made & handle is not secured well (My brush literally fell apart the FIRST time I used it – not a good first impression!)

-bristles were not all going in the right direction and seemed very sparse

-too expensive for an item of such poor quality

The slogan for Posh brushes, on the package of my brush reads,”You could purchase a more expensive make-up brush-but not a better one!” This is FALSE in my opinion, at least in terms of the Angle Blush Brush. If you are looking for a quality angled blush brush, check out the Sephora brand brushes, I know they sell at least two different ones and I love both of them! You should definitely avoid the Posh Angled Brush because it is a waste of money and poor quality. This experience with Posh brushes will most likely result in me staying away from this brand altogether & you should too! :)

I was standing in line with a handful of products at Sephora recently when I came across a small yet noticeable display of Korres lip products on the counter. Each product was on sale for $8, which is a comfortable number – not too cheap to seem unattractive but also not expensive enough to dismiss.  The tricky tempting strategy worked, and I spontaneously purchased two products—a lip butter and a lipstick.

Korres Mango Butter Lipstick in Peach 18 ($18 on Sephora.com and korresusa.com)

An amazing product! Korres Mango Butter Lipstick makes wearing lipstick enjoyable which seems to be a difficult endeavor. The lipstick goes on smoothly. It has a great consistency – smooth and shimmery but not drying. The product independently creates a colorful shine. With SPF 10, it is a perfect beach pick.  In terms of the shade, Peach18  is perfect for summer and it is a universally flattering hue. A deep blend of coral and watermelon with bits of gold shimmer complement a great range of looks. This lipstick is a great investment in your makeup collection!

Korres Lip Butter Pomegranate – $8.00 on sale at Sephora. I also like to use this product as a blush – use your middle finger to pick up some of the butter and then dab it on your cheeks. It will seriously look like you just worked out for an hour. Love it! So pretty and healthy!

I will  be repurchasing both of these products – even if they are at the normal price… :)

P.S. My awesome experience with korres led me to purchase more of their products: primer, tinted moisturizer & bronzer – I will review each soon!
