Make-up Brushes (Thread 21)

[vitug.annie]

^I use ecotools too. (Foundation and blush brushes) They're good!

[tiggerlily]

^^thanks sis. for personal use lang naman. I will buy the ecotools as per your suggestion. I'm just learning from youtube videos lately. which set should I get? and how much kaya?

[tiggerlily]

I just had a look at RT and ecotools brushes from kalmcosmetics.ph. Baka dito na ako bumili but it might be getting the RT starter set since I want the fine liner brush. Also the RT retractable kabuki brush.

Though I'm a bit torn and want to buy the suesh 21 pc. brush set.

will check them out in trinoma sa monday. palagi ba sila may stocks doon? or mas maganda online ko na lang bilhin? same price lang ba sila?

what do you guys think? help... baka mabili ko lahat. LOL

[tiggerlily]

^ thanks sis! I will check them all out tomorrow.

I chanced upon the suesh smoky eye set. actually, sa eyes talaga ang gusto ko muna magconcentrate. anyone who has tried it?

although my go signal na ako to buy the suesh 21 pc set. sulit ba sya talaga?

newbie question lang. bakit yung iba itinatapon yung makeup brush? dahil sira na or may expiry rin sya like toothbrush and makeups? di ba shampoo/conditioner lang naman ang maintenance nya?

[tiggerlily]

The smoky eye set is 850. Its in their website. Actually nalalakihan ako sa brushes ni ecotools from the videos and pics I've seen. I think it would be too big for my eye. Also, parang maikli rin sya. I have long hands. But still it depends when I see them all tomorrow.

The 21 pc is around 3500. Medyo scared ako mag invest ng sobra kasi baka this makeup thing is just a phase for me. Sayang lang. But sayang din if magustuhan ko sya in the long run. Ay torn pa rin ako.

I want to check them out in person. Ang hirap kasi kapag online mo lang titignan.

I just bought the charm pro 21 pc. brush set. It's still on sale at 2,415 from the ramp kaya binili ko na rin sya. So excited to learn how to use these brushes!!!

Beauty Cosmetics Sculpting brush - yehey meron na nung black. Bought it sa Podium Markati - Sewn n Co P250 lang tagal ko na inaabangan yung black lagi kasi out of stock

[tiggerlily]

^which courier do they use to ship internationally? and how much is your order total? dyan usually binebase kung itatax ka or hindi. but unfortunately, it is more likely na ma-tax ka. mas maganda pa siguro mag-johnny air ka (about a week yata) kung magaang lang naman ang order mo. or use a forwarder na nagsi-sea cargo (port area congestion could take 2-3 months to get here ). or make pasabay to other sisses here na nagoorder from the US.

^According to this blog post, you don't have to pay taxes or fees: http://www.projectvanity.com/projectvanity/2014/7/28/zoeva-brush-set.

Looking at Luxola's FAQ page (under Delivery), they say that they ship on DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis. All import taxes should already have been paid before it reaches your door. http://www.luxola.com/ph/faq

Thanks so much wandabanana!! so sad the brushes are out of stock again!

I've experienced shopping from luxola several times.

Before there's a minimum purchase of Php 1,300 to get free shipping. Ngayon parang free shipping na. I don't know if this is a permanent thing.

Wandabanana is correct, delivery duties paid. And they ship door to door around 2 days to a week after you place your order, but with my purchases with them, packages arrive within 2 days lang.


If you buy Zoeva from the Zoeva website, you'll have to pick it up from the post and pay for taxes.

Just got my Zoeva brush set a few days ago. I got the complete set. They are pretty good so far especially the vegan face brushes =) Although, as of the moment, I still prefer using my Bdellium Studio eye brushes because they seem to pick up more color and I have an easier time blending with them. Perhaps it's because it has more natural hairs, than synthetic ones. OR perhaps I am just not used to the Zoeva brushes yet.

But so far so good, I am happy to have the Zoeva brush set as part of my collection!  My real techniques brushes just got kicked out of my dressing table hehe

20%off yung sigma sa luxola, LX1XMAS yung code hanggang 12mn lang. Walang tax sa luxola door to door siya, i ordered monday tapos friday nandito na. Palagi pang may sale. Sana mag add pa ng brands hindi kasi kilala yung most brands.

[Wandabanana]

Luxola sent me a 20% coupon for my birthday the other day, but Zoeva isn't part of the promotion! URGH. WHY YOU DO DIS.

That was probably for the best, because I had just spent 2k on nail polishes from Rescue Beauty Lounge. Hehe.

wow!! Thanks for the info sis!! =) the last coupon codes never worked for sigma

sis wandabanana how frustrating!! Hehe there was a40% off sale last week but Zoeva wasnt included. How sad, because I heard they were still including Zoeva during sales up to a few months ago.

-MAC! Worth it! Bili lang isa weekly para hindi masakit sa bulsa!

-Real Techniques - Get it from the official PH supplier to avoid fakes. Kasi ang dami na rin fake lately! I think nag consign sila sa The Ramp at Trinoma. Not sure if they have it in Glorietta,

[newsoul]

mga sis nasira yung shu uemura retractable lip brush ko.. hay ang mahal mahal pa naman.. what brand of lip brush is good? yung retractable na may cover para hindi madumihan

[tiggerlily]

Just saw an ad in fb that luxola is having a storewide 35% off. Use code LXOP12. Until midnight daw.

Saka na ako bibili. Kakabili ko lang ng charm e. Kapag mas marunong na ako. In fairness natutuwa ako sa turnout ng mga natututunan ko sa youtube. Makeup is so much fun!
