Eco-Chic Makeup Brushes
This weekend, while shopping and catching up on errands, I kept seeing this fantastic set of cruelty-free and environmentally friendly makeup brushes pop up in every store I went to. They are called EcoTools, and from what I noticed this weekend, they seem to be available everywhere.
Instead of being made of animal hair, these brushes have animal-free taklon bristles made from soft and pliable synthetic hair. The handles are made from bamboo, and the metal coverings are fashioned from recycled aluminum cans! The pack I got even came with a hemp carrying case. Of course, I tried them as soon as I got home, and they are fabulous! Their eyeshadow brush gives you great control for creating dramatic color layers.
These brushes are too good to be true. As if being environmentally friendly, available everywhere, and cruelty-free weren’t enough, they are also extremely affordable. A set of five will only set you back about $10. Now, what are you waiting for? Go get your eco-chic on!

I have that exact same set…You can also purchase single brushes at Ulta. It’s a really great brush set. I use them every day for my bare minerals foundation and eyeshadow.

Does anyone know where I can find natural bristle VEGAN hairbrushes? I’ve searched all over the place. Help!

It never crossed my mind that my brushes could potentially be made out of animal hair. Gross and totally not jazzz! I think it’s time to replace my old brushes.

I bought a foundation brush from this line and it was totally awsome! it’s so soft, works as well (if not better) as the one from the body shop for 3 times the price. I’m getting the entire set the next time I’m in a store.

I LOVE these brushes! They don’t lose their bristles and they are very affordable. AND no animal had to be abused for them!

It is pretty funny and ignorant to think people are “hippies” when they are conscience of what they eat and conscience of what products they purchase. If you really stop to think about it for a sec someone is really more towards being a hippie when they are NOT conscience of what they eat and products to but. Get into the new millennium! We aren’t cavemen. Let’s modernize our way of thinking! These are great brushes by the way. Cruelty free products and cruelty free eating is the way to go!

On my comment above - it was supposed to read, “Someone is really more towards being a hippie when they are NOT conscience of what they eat and products THEY BUY. Sorry for the misspelling.

I’m in love with Sevi™ makeup and tools - also 100% vegan and cruelty-free!

Awesome and a great price! I didn’t realize that my current ones might be made of animal hair, a proper burial is in store. I haven’t seen these in Canada though…

@Norma: I was just kidding Mylie with that comment. She’s a hippie in the good sense.
