Week of Reviews Day 7: Real Techniques Stippling Brush

     For my last review for my week of reviews I decided to basically review Real Techniques customer service and their stippling brush. One of the 1st posts I ever did on this blog was a review of the stippling brush, you can click here to read it.
     My opinion on the brush has changed over time. I rarely use it anymore because I just don't love the results. It's great for blending along the jawline & stuff like that, but it just makes my foundation (which is light coverage) look so caked on! Anyway, about 2 weeks after I purchased the brush (under 10 uses, had not washed the brush yet), this happened....



A huge chunk of the brush literally fell out. Based on what I've read online, others have also had the same problem. Here are some of the things I've read online of people having similar experiences with the stippling brush:

From Ulta.com, WalMart.com, or RealTechniques.com:














As soon as my brush started to fall apart I sent an email to Real Techniques. The replied within 24 hours, saying that if I gave them my address they would send me a new brush. I emailed them back, didn't get the brush. Emailed them again and the brush came 3 weeks later. It took me a total of 6 weeks to get the brush. Honestly, I don't think it was worth it and would have rather just got a different Real Techniques brush or my money back. However, I do realize I am part of a minority. I read hundreds of reviews to find the ones posted above. Don't get me wrong, this is a great brush. It doesn't work with every product I've tried, but it works well with most and it's affordable. I was just very disappointed with its quality. 

Since it seems to be a very small amount of people who have had the same experience as me, I would recommend purchasing it. For a $10 brush, it's great. I like it better than any other drugstore brush I've used. Despite everything I had to go through with this brush, I think the majority of you would enjoy this brush and hopefully won't have to go through the same experience I did. 

Tip: This brush may not work well with liquid foundation, but try using it to apply your undereye concealer or cream blush!
