Adorable Bubbi Brushes Review

 Front Packaging
Back Packaging


I got this brush set off of Bubbi's website www.shopbubbi.com for around $93 and shipping added up to like $100. You get 12 brushes, 2 dual ended so 14 and a fake leather brush roll that is made specifically for these brushes. But this brush roll can fit other brushes too. If you divide it up, it comes down to about $7 a brush and a free roll, I like how this roll can store the dual ended brushes without messing them up. 



Buffer Brush- This is a flat top kabuki brush with an extended handle. These bristles are very sturdy, large amount of surface area, and feel quite soft. I use this to buff my bronzer and blush and this does a great job. This isn't the softest brush, the tip of the bristles may be a little perky at times. But for buffing, you don't fell the tip or the bristles poking you.



Powder Brush- Full and fluffy paddle brush that is rounded off at the top. This brush is fluffy but still sturdy to control where to apply your powder. This feels so nice on the skin, dust on powder quickly and gently with the large surface area. I use this for setting powder, blush and sweeping away eye shadow fall outs. 



Sculpting Brush- Densely packed angle brush with the same type of bristles as the buffer brush. This is the most dense brush out of the whole collection, the angled shape allows for the brush to fit in many crevices on the face. I use this for blending out foundation and concealer and applying blush and bonzers (cream or powder). This is comparable to the Sigma Angled Kabuki.



Dome Brush- Fluffy, long bristle brush that tapers at the tip and comes to a point. This is the SOFTEST brush out of the whole collection, the bristles literally feels like my friends cat. The pointed tip makes it very easy to fit underneath the eyes so I use this to set my under eye concealer. The light fluffiness makes it great for light application of setting powder and powder blush. This brush does shed a bit tho if you use rough hands to wash it because these are natural fibers.



HD Flawless Brush- Angle flat top brush with a small surface area for precise application of foundation and concealer. The angle shape makes this easy to contour with also. I don't find myself reaching for this brush often because it is so small, takes forever to blend out foundation. The bristles are also very short and packed together making it really difficult to clean.



Eye Contour Brush-  Elongated angle flat top eye shadow brush, this brush is made out of natural fibers (same as the Dome brush). After washing this brush a few times, I realize this brush is very fragile, it sheds quite a bit. The bristles flare out a bit and never stay together, I can use the flat side for applying eye shadow on my entire lid and the tip for my crease, but I would prefer this a bit shorter for my smaller lids.



Blending Brush- Elongated fluffy round brush, this looks like natural fibers but actually is synthetic fibers. I like using this for blending out very thin concealers and setting powder under the eye, it fits perfectly and gives an airbrushed look. I guess you can use this for your crease, but its way too big for my eyelid. The bristles aren't as dense and sturdy as I wanted.



Shader Brush- Small flat shading brush that fits right onto my eyelid, made out of natural fibers. I really enjoy the softness of this brush and how it packs on the right amount of shadow. I was afraid that darker eye shadows may stain the bristles, but it washes off very nicely with dish washing soap.



Smudger Brush - Short flat shading brush with sturdy bristles. This has bristles a bit longer than the e.l.f. smudge brush but the e.l.f. has natural hair that are softer. I use this to pack eye shadow on my eyelid, brow bone, and smudging out eyeliner on top and bottom lashline.



Detail Brush - Small flat round top brush, sturdy and soft synthetic bristles. I use this to put shimmering eye shadow in my inner tear ducts and smudge my eyeliner. Simple cute brush, black bristles wouldn't get stained. 




Dual Cover Brush - Dual ended face brush, one larger paddle brush for foundation and one filbert brush for concealer. I rarely use this brush because I just don't use paddle brushes for foundation, I end up using both sides for concealer and highlighting. The concealer side can also be used for eye shadow. Soft synthetic bristles, sturdy and easy to clean bristles. But clean this brush may be annoying because of the dual end, I can only clean one side at a time because I dry my brushes facing down.





Dual Eyes Brush - One tapered stiff pencil brush for precise application of eye shadow and one fluffy large shading brush for dusting and blending eye shadow. White natural fibers that didn't stain so far from dark eye shadows. Even tho these are natural fibers, I feel like its not as soft as the shader brush. I don't reach for this brush either because its just a hassle to clean.
