Royal and Langnickel Brushes

9:46 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »


Price: I was lucky enough to get these wholesale price at the Face and Body-Spa & Healthy Aging conference and Expo in San Francisco this past August. Price ranged from $2-$4

Where to Buy: at conventions or http://www.royalbrush.com/main/dcat/cat.php?k=69526

My Opinion: These aren't as hyped as Crown Brushes. At the Expo the Crown Brush booth was so crowded but alas this booth was not. I think it was the location of their booth. Honestly they have BETTER brushes than Crown Brush.

I really really regret not buying all of my brushes from Royal and Langnickel since on their website the prices are double from what I paid. I guess I was suckered into thinking Crown Brushes were the bomb since so many beauty bloggers rave about it! But after trying these, I will most definitly stock up when I go to another EXPO! The brush doesnt shed, no scent and super soft. Once you try these you'll think Crown Brushes are crap! Seriously!
