It’s usually my goal to get brushes that can multi-task, so one that has two ends? Well, that makes things even easier!
Sephora Brand Double-Ended Perfect Complexion Brush is fabulous – it’s a super high-quality two-in-one brush that can do foundation on one side, and powders on the other!
This simple-as-pie duality is a reason it was a must-have in my vacation-packing.  I like to use one side for cream and fluid foundation and the other side for powders.
Plus, um, it’s pink!

It’s new. It’s pink. It’s handy. It’s mine! Free, nonetheless!
All thanks to power beauty blogger Sophie Uy, who can be found at Beauty Gizmo, Beautynomics, Kikay Kits, and Vanity Vibe! Moreover, she has her own mineral makeup business, Beauty & Minerals!
I’m loving my travel-friendly pink brush set. It comes with a handy pouch that houses all the brushes and then some. A zip-up compartment can store small pots of MMUs, eyeshadows or any handy makeup packs or even a small mirror.
Thanks, Sophie! I love this beauty loot! Thanks for the MMU samplers, too!
