Bold Metal Makeup Brushes at Walmart + a Giveaway

This post is sponsored by Lunchbox. Opinions are 100% my own.

I’m kicking myself. Recently, I spent a boat-load of money on cosmetics. I’m really happy with my purchases, but not so happy with my bank account. Ok – I’m over my pity party because at least I look haute. 😉

Long story short, I went to Walmart for some supplies, remembered that I was going to be reviewing some make up brushes from Walmart so I strolled down the make up aisle and low and behold what did my eyes spy.  Legit make-up brushes.  I would expect to see these in a fancy pants store.  These babies were NICE. When I looked at the prices (to analyze if Wal-mart still indeed had lowest prices now that they had big-girl make-up brushes) they were true to Wal-mart form – a bargain.
These guys are called the Bold Metal Collection.

Here’s a short review of their features:

• – 100 Arched Powder
  The design has a dome cut to put powders exactly in their place.
• – 101 Triangle Foundation
  The triangle foundation brush is just fun. I’ve always used sponges, so I love that there’s a fancy, soft brush to do the same thing. It contours perfectly on the large and small areas.
• – 200 Oval Shadow
  The fullness of this brush makes lid application blend well.
• – 201 Pointed Crease
  Hello, smoky eye! The pointed crease is perfect for creases.
• – 202 Angled Liner
  Though I’m not a fan of liner brushes, I do like this one.
• – 300 Tapered Blush
  I LOVE blushing my cheeks and the tapered brush was a treat for my rosebuds.
• – 301 Flat Contour
  The thick stubbiness of this brush makes it great for contouring.

One aspect I loved about all the brushes is the weighted handles. You had something to hold onto and could feel the quality. Makes me think twice about the Wal-mart make-up aisle for sure!  I also like how all the brushes are white which is a good visual reminder for me to clean my brushes regularly!

Can I let you all in on my number one tip for better looking make up (besides a good skin care regimen)?

Good make up brushes!  Trust me, high quality make up brushes can make all the difference in the world ladies!

High quality brushes have:

• – Softer or precise bristles
• – Shed less
• – Wash cleaner
• – Last longer
• – Better application!
