Essence of Beauty, CVS’s own beauty line, has their own version of a kabuki brush.  If you aren’t familiar with kabuki brushes, they’re great for applying mineral makeup products.  Except that unlike most kabuki brushes in the market, this brush is retractable!

 

Approx. Price: $13

Where to Purchase?: CVS

The Bottom Line:  I expected this Essence of Beauty Retractable Kabuki brush to be along the same quality as my other EOB brushes – high quality brushes and an affordable price.  However, this brush was not the case.  The kabuki did a fantastic job in applying my mineral foundation.  But the bristles are not exactly soft.  Overall, I found the brush to be scratchy and rough - cosmetic brushes should not be like this!  After a couple of washes, this kabuki brush sheds like no other.  Finding brush hairs on your face after mineral foundation application is not exactly attractive.  However, I do have to give this brush merit that it is retractable, which is ideal for traveling.  As a fan of Essence of Beauty brushes, I was highly disappointed with this brush. In the trash it goes!

P.S. I still prefer my Everyday Minerals Flat Top Brush for mineral foundation application.
