MAC and Smashbox have great ones!

Wow. I can't imagine a brush being worth $45! I wish I had it to spend and find out. LOL.

Does Aromaleigh really take 5 business days to ship? I am so spoiled by Alima, lol.

No, they have never taken 5 days to ship, usually ships out the next business day IME. I hope you love it as much as I do!!

That is wierd!

I don't remember mine having a lot of dye when I first washed it. But who knows. I once had a MAC 187 that had tons of dye and it smelled so bad, I could never use it for liquid because it would turn my face gray. I returned it and got another one and that one does not release any dye when I wash it.

I just tried it for the first time and I do!

Besides the softness and great application, I have less flying minerals than with other brushes, which I really appreciate.

It also dried very quickly. Thanks again for the recommendation! I will definitely switch back and forth between this and the Alima.

i like my bobbi brown kabuki brush. i've tried several cheaper brands and concluded, you do get what you pay for.

I like the MAC 182. I thought the Smashbox #19 and the BE Kabuki were both scratchy on my face compared to the 182. I also have the Aromaleigh Silky Smooth Taklon and while if feels nice and soft, the shape of the bristles is not wide enough for my taste. The brush is too narrow so I prefer the 182. I will use the Taklon one for blush..

I have the Bourgeois Kabuki http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...eg oryId=1958 and the MAC 182. The Bourgeois is okay but the 182 is awesome!! I actually bought it after reading this thread teehee!!

I bought the Essence of Beauty kabuki today at CVS. I can't wait to use it tomorrow! It's actually my 1st full-size kabuki.

Well, using the kabuki was a new experience for me, for sure! The only thing negative I have to say is that this brush seems to shed a good bit.

Thanks for all those links. I'm hoping to find a synthetic version of MAC's 187 or 129 one of these days, but so far no luck. I do know that Alima is working on a synthetic skunk brush. MAC customer service also told me a short time ago that they're working on more synthetic brushes too. I have the synthetic angled blush brush from the Raquel collection and I like it alot.

I tried the Sephora kabuki and it sucks! It loses hair and it scrapes my skin. 10 euros gone with the wind. I think I'll buy the 182.

I have the smashbox one and it is niiiccceeee!
