I've been using B&B quite a lot lately. Especially since I picked up and used the short stubby brush that was with the Tarte powder foundation with it when my kabuki brush went missing. Surprisingly I was really happy with the application so has carried on using it. Seems quicker, less messy and better finish. What type of brush do you all find works best for you with B&B?
Another brush that gives a very nice finish is one of these, I think this one may be a MAC dupe, I got mine off eBay a few years back so not sure this would be the same but looks very much like mine. It's got these soft wavy bristles like Laura's brushes, or may be even softer and gives a very natural finish.

Marina did you buy the Tarte brush from eBay? If its coming from China there's a fair chance it'll be a fake :(
 
OK, as much as I love the box with the windows and the idea of the blush with the chandelier imprinted on it, this TSV is a big no from me. I have tried the balance n glow in a previous TSV and I cannot understand why it is loved so much. It showed up every pore and tiny wrinkle, and I barely have any enlarged pores! Why not use the normal BnB and put highlighter where you need it rather than all over your face? The only thing that tempts me in that collection is the liquid eyeliner and I am sure I could pick one up from Ebay. The brush is OK for blush but not that great for foundation. The lipstick and gloss are too pink for me, and I already have too many pink lipsticks that I am working my way through. The eye shadow would not show up that great on me and I don't rate LG's mascara. So the price is a relief for me. If it had been £40 I might have caved in, but coming in at almost £55, it's a no.
Now I just have to make sure I don't cave in watching the show!!!

Yes, I bought it on eBay. It was an unbranded brush looking like the Tarte one, it may be a fake, but I thought that Tarte brushes may have come off the same conveyer belt. It only cost a couple of pounds, not a big deal if it doesn’t suit.
I've also noticed that there are brushes looking very much like the one in Bare Minerals with the ‘well’ in the middle, for just over a pound.
 
Sorry but that looks a totally crap TSV.

This is why I love this forum - I was convinced I HAD TO HAVE this TSV...but on reading these comments, you're absolutely right, it is cr*p and overpriced and I will be passing on it - you've saved a weak fool some money, thank you!
 
It`s just so errr Barbie !
All that pink, all that shine and packaged in a cardboard look a likey Barbie house.
It`s coming Winter and I would have thought so much pink would be more of a Spring or Summer palette. Of course they`ll say otherwise until next week when they`re selling another brand and they say reds/oranges/nudes/plums etc are the lippy colours and blush colours you need to buy.
My 10 year old grand daughter who loves play makeup has a kids set with similar colours to this tsv with glittery silver eye shadows, gloopy shiny pink lip gloss etc, it cost around a tenner from Toys R Us !

The last few kits I've bought I gave some away as presents as didn't use/need more makeup! B & B or B & G are very good and some eyeshadows but not too impressed with mascara and lippy :mysmilie_12:
 
Balance-N-Glow --8g and not 9?

Eye Dew Cream Shadow Crayon --20g? With the case may be.

I'm disappointed that the blusher is not Gelato and hoping not to cave in on Sunday.
I'm going to keep an eye on any offers or may just order a supersize bnb on its own.

I was browsing the other day on Amazon and they break down the prices, in this case they've calculated the price of the product what it would be per kilo. So a kilo of Balance and brighten costs, based on the price of 9g product a whopping £3,104.
