Product Review: Bdellium Tools Bold Lip Brush #542

I have been in search of really good lip brushes for a while.  I started with disposable lip brushes but moved up to e.l.f. concealer brushes.  Those were not the standard I wanted for my kit so the search continued.  I wanted lip brushes that I could line with, angle for unique lip looks and to blend multiple colors.  I have found this with the Bdellium Tools Bold Lip Brush #542.  

Bdellium Tools Bold Lip Brush #542 is a wide, firm-bristled tip brush that helps to define all the contours of the lip with ease and precision.  It works well with all lip formulas and is made with all synthetic fibers.

As a makeup artist and makeup lover, I look for tools that work great for my clients and myself.  This a great product for a personal or professional kit.  I used the 542 brush recently to create and add more dimension to my lips with two colors and a liner.  Applying the two lipsticks directly would not allow me to create the ombre affect I wanted.  Using this brush allowed me to blend out the liner slightly with a darker color after applying a lighter color in the middle of my lips.  

The shape of the brush allows for precision application with ease.  The design and size of the brush is just right and a comfortable fit.... the way it feels in your hand as you apply the products is wonderful.  I love the smooth wooden handle and the firmness of the bristles.  In other words I love this brush and it does what I need it to do!

• I love MAC and love makeup in general, but sometimes you have to know when to cut back. With the economy being the way that it is and the fact that cream and liquid makeup doesn't last as long as powder and mineral, I plan to not buy as many lippies for the rest of the year. Plus I decided I can't open more that what will fit my holder(14 lipsticks and 28-30 glosses) :0(

• MAC Euristocrats II collection has beautiful colors but I have many lip products as the photos show. I planned to purchase Milan Mode, Naked Paris, and Patisserie lipsticks. Since I have similar colors to those I passed on them. I did purchase Via Veneto which is a light violet dazzle glass with blue pearl and is Limited Edition. I love the color and sparkle of this dazzle glass and it goes great with Lavender Whip(which I have a backup of).

• Years ago in one of MAC's Holiday collection, they had a beautiful pink, that MAC has yet to recreate(until now???). Urban Decay Hotpants lipstick is a close dupe and I am halfway thru that, so I plan to pick up Color Crafted lipstick thru b2m program. From what I can tell Color Crafted l/s looks like the same one from that holiday collection. The color is one of my favorites and a must have. Lip glasses from the Color Craft collection sound and look nice.... I may pick up one(pink or purple), Other than that no lippies for me. Saving rest of b2m for Love That Look eye shadows.
