I found this random brush at Big Lots. They had a huge section of items from Rite Aid for 50% off. I came to get some plastic drawers to store some of my makeup. I just saw it as I was browsing around.
It's made by brushlab Rx. Their slogan is "the healthy brush." It's made from "natural bristles to help protect your skin." On the back it reads, "The Healthy Brush is treated with a patented anti-microbial formula which helps prevent harmful bacterial and fungal growth."
It first caught my attention because the packaging. It has this cute colored plastic handle. Then I read, "pure and soft anti-microbial bristles." I was thinking that's kind of interesting. A brush that has anti-microbial properties, I've never heard of such a thing! For only $3, I couldn't pass up the deal.
So, the brush isn't that soft. It's not exactly rough either. It could be softer, but it's not terrible. I use a Posh blush brush and it's definitely not as soft as that. Soft is a relative term as what I think is soft, might not be soft to you and vice versa. The quality of the bristles is decent, but the brush has shed a few of them out.
It picks up and distributes the blush well. The diameter of the bristles is a good size. It can swipe the entirety of my apple cheek. It also does a good job of blending too. As for testing the anti-microbial properties, I'm not sure. I guess I'll just trust that it is anti-microbial, but I'm still going to wash the brush regularly anyway.
The packaging is super cute! It has a bright lime green handle. It's made of plastic, so it's lightweight. I also like the fact the handle is kind of long. I don't like short handles or travel size brushes because the handle is shorter. I just find the application of makeup easier with a longer handle. They had a few other brushes and they each come with a different colored handle. I didn't want to buy any of the others without trying one first.
Overall, for $3, I think it's a pretty good brush. Even for $6, it's not bad. I think the biggest con is the not so soft bristles. Again, it's not rough, but I'd like it to be softer. I might get their blending brush as well. I mean, it's a good bargain. Like I said, I found it at Big Lots from their Rite Aid section. I don't know why they had that section, but your best bet is to try your local Rite Aid (or Eckerds, same company, new name).

Ooooo I've seen those in Ulta and always hesitated cuz they looked like generic cheap brushes LOL I will have to check them out now! I love your little girl cupcake icon floating in the pics hehe :)
ilurvemakeup: Thanks haha! If it was like $10 or more, I'd say it's not so great b/c at that cost you could probably find better. I know the CVS brushes and Sally Beauty brushes are cheap and decent. But for $3? It's not bad.
I got those brushes from www.brushlove.com They're Awesome! I found that they are very soft and better quality brushes tend to lose bristles because they are hand made and not glued like the cheap stuff.
