Every time the letterbox flapped and a new Avon book was delivered I often found myself looking through and ordering even if I didn't need to buy anything. So much so that I recently told my Avon rep not to leave me anymore books as I'm just spending money I don't need to spend! One thing I ordered was this eye shadow brush, I got fed up with nicking the eye shadow applicators from some sets to use for my individual eye shadow pots.

Of course, being an Avon product, you can only order the eye shadow brush either online or from your local Avon representative. I think I paid around £4 for mine if my memory serves me correctly.

The brush is around 7 inches in length altogether including the bristles. The bristles are only about a centimetre and half in length then there is an inch of silver metal holding the bristles in place to the brush handle. The handle is black in colour and has a nice thickness, it has around the same diameter as a biro pen.

The bristles are very soft and don't require much prodding or brushing over the eye shadow to get enough onto the brush. When applying the eye shadow the bristles feel very soft against my eye lids. The bristles are shaped in a rounded shape so it makes it easy to apply over the majority of the eye lid in one clean swoop. After I use the brush I tend to give the bristles a blow to get rid of any eye shadow left on it so it is ready for the next use.

I've found with some cheap brushes that the bristles are easy to fall out but that is the total opposite to this brush. Although it is cheap, the bristles stay where they are meant to be and I haven't had any sticking out like they are about to fall off. So despite the appealing price, it still has a fantastic quality.

I'd definitely recommend this eye shadow brush from Avon. The price is great and the quality of the brush is amazing. The rounded bristles mean it is easy to get a nice coverage and they don't fall out either.
