MAC #182S 缓冲刷

I love using it as a blush brush and for blending blush. I've been using it for 10 years now, but the bristles haven't shed and it's still durable. I also love the look of it.

When I first touched it, I was amazed at how soft it was (*´ω｀*) Was it a horse's tail?! Before I bought this, I used the brush that came with it, but now I can't use the brush that came with it. The finish is completely different! I think that no matter how good your cosmetics are, the results are affected by the tools you use, like the brush. It's expensive, but I've been using it for over 6 years without having to replace it, so I think it's good value for money!

I bought it in Sweden, so it was about 1,500 yen cheaper than in Japan. I'd been wanting a mushroom brush for ages, but I was actually planning on buying the #150 powder brush before I went to the store. However, the #150 sample brush felt incredibly rough to the touch. Σ(￣。￣ノ)ノ If it's bad to touch with your hands, it must hurt even more to touch on your face. So I tried this similar #182 powder brush, and it was completely different! My friend also recommended this one, so since it was the same price in Sweden, I bought it! I noticed this after using it on my blush a couple of times. When I washed it with baby shampoo, the color faded like crazy (lol). It was so black I thought it was ink! Σ（□；） It took me two washes for the water to clear up. So, before using this brush on your face, I recommend washing it twice with a mild detergent or baby shampoo. Also, I realized after I bought it that this brush was made in China (lol). All the brushes I'd bought up until then had been made in Japan... If it's made in China, surely it could be cheaper? That's a minus, I guess....

If I had known it was made in China, I wouldn't have bought it. It's expensive, and other Kabuki brushes would have been fine. This is my first failure since the 108 brush.

It was quite expensive, so I hesitated a lot, but since it's not a consumable item, I figured I'd be able to use it for a long time, so I decided to go ahead and buy it. In the end, I'm so glad I bought it! Thanks to it, I can no longer use the cheap brush I'd been using. The bristles grip the powder so well, so I don't have to keep reapplying powder and it doesn't sting! I'm so impressed! However, I don't have a case for it, so for now I'm storing it in the clear plastic case it came in.
