Blooming heck, that's a big brush!

Those were my initial thoughts when receiving the *Dusting and Powder brush from The Vintage Cosmetic Company. Seriously, it's bigger than my head, and I have a mammoth noggin. 


The outer packaging is really adorable - it's pink and floral, total winner (you can see it by clicking here to go to the website). The actual packaging on the brush is very simple, it's cream with white bristles that go black at the end which I think looks really nice although simplistic. It says 'Dusting & Powder' on the brush which I think is pretty good if you're new to makeup brushes and not sure what brushes to use for what purpose. As I said, this brush is massive and it measures in at 220mm, but I think that makes it fit for purpose because it means you can put a light dusting of powder on which is great if you're like me and have a tendency to mattify yourself until you look two-dimensional..

Besides from the packaging and size, this brush is so so soft and I know that's what every Blogger/YouTuber/Internet-friend says about makeup brushes but this really really is. Let's cut the mendacity and I'll be honest with you, when I received this I spent a good ten minutes just circling the brush around my face - it's that soft.

I haven't suffered any molting with this brush either, and it has shortened my morning makeup routine a fair bit because it takes virtually seconds now to powder - #winning**

This brush costs £17.50 so it's by no means cheap, but given the quality of it I think it's probably worth the investment if you're the type of person who prefers to invest in really nice brushes opposed to lots of cheaper ones, so overall I really like this mammoth powder brush and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.

What's your go-to brushes brand?

P.S - I made a new Instagram account, the link's down below!
