EcoTools® Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set.

Fall is here. It is so not my favorite time of year (I LOVE SUMMER!), but it is the time of year that feels like a new year for me. It's all about new beginnings. Of course, this carries over to makeup. Not only new makeup, but a new makeup style.

As the seasons are changing, earth-friendly beauty products leader EcoTools® and celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles, have teamed up to debut a new on trend look you can create at home in just five minutes.

A pop of color on the eye in a rich hue like sapphire, burgundy or emerald green is fun and flattering for fall. “It’s all about the Jewel-Toned Eye,” said Stiles. “Bringing in rich colors like sapphire, burgundy and emerald green into your makeup routine is both fun and flattering for everyday wear. With the right cosmetic brushes, it’s easy to achieve. I love using EcoTools® because they’re high quality, super soft and kind to the environment, so you not only look beautiful, but can live beautifully.

The brushes:

  • Blush Brush
  • Eye Shading Brush
  • Eyeliner Brush
  • Lash and Brow Groomer
  • Concealer Brush

I cannot believe the quality of these brushes. My favorite brushes cost more than three times the price of this entire set! Al of the brushes are full, super soft and help apply makeup with ease. I am using the Blush Brush in my everyday routine already, and the Eyeliner Brush is another I am using to line the bottom of my eyes. The thicker brush with slight angle is perfect for extending the eyes and blending the shadows into a perfect line. The Eye Shading Brush is perfect for this seasons cream shadows, as well as using with powder.

This set is available online at ecotools.com for $12.99. It is only $9.99 at Walgreens right now though, but just through the end of the month.

From one of the most talented, sought-after, innovative makeup artists of our time, Billy B, comes his collection of makeup brushes. He calls his brushes Paint Brushes, which is actually pretty fitting, as we use brushes to paint and sculpt our canvas everyday, don't we?

"Each brush in the collection is designed specifically for its individual function, resulting in the ultimate application. I personally selected a range of high quality blends of both natural and synthetic components for maximum performance and function in mind, providing an easy and ultimate application and blending of product and color to create the most beautiful makeup application. But I didn't stop there. I also paid special attention to the handle, length and weight. The handle is a lightweight, varnished birch that is chic, comfortable, easy to use and store." - Billy B

In one word - beautiful! The brushes are amazing and well-worth every cent. Your makeup can be the best, but if is put on half-heartedly with poor quality brushes and applicators, you will not get the full benefit of the makeup and you know. Once you try professional quality brushes, you will see and know the difference, almost immediately - trust me!

For the professional or regular gal that cannot get enough of her makeup brushes, there is the billybBEAUTY Master PAINT BRUSH Collection. For $259, you get his full line of 13 brushes.

For the regular gal who must-have the essentials, then this collection, which is my favorite, would be for you. It is the The billybBEAUTY Essential PAINT BRUSH Collection. This set has the eight essential brushes needed for everyday use. The set includes the following brushes:
Two - Foundation Brush
Three - Powder/Blush Brush
Four - Contour Brush
Eight - Firm Eyeshadow Brush
Ten - Eyeliner Brush
Eleven - Stiff Angled Brush
Twelve - Soft Angled Brush
and a special lightweight aluminum, retractable lip brush.

The billybBEAUTY Essential PAINT BRUSH Collection sells for $159, and is so worth it all.

You must visit entire billybbeauty site for more about the master and the rest of his collection. Billy - I will be waiting for the makeup, along with many others I am sure.

We can hope for it, can't we?
