The Face Shop 5P Eyeshadow Brush

After lunch, my colleague Melissa wanted to get some stuff at The Face Shop and I tagged along. I was fascinated by their affordable Xmas sets but I didn’t get any. I used to spend a lot at TFS and this time I refrain myself from browsing as I fear I might spend on things which I don’t need. When she was about to pay for her purchases, I remembered that I need a smaller eyeshadow brush and their brush section is exactly next to their cashier counter. I had a very weird conversation with the BA on the brush. She’s nice though. And friendly.

Me: Is this the smallest eyeshadow brush you have?
BA: Oh yes
Me: Do you have a size bigger than this?
BA: Yes we do *shows me the brush*
Me: Oh I want this
BA: It’s sold out though
Me: *slap forehead*
Me: *shows BA the brush* why is the bristle hard and looks like lip liner brush?
BA: Cause it’s new
Me: Will the bristle be like a “C” shape after some time?
BA: Yes it will but will take a long time to soften and loose. You got to wash with hot water
Me: Huh? Hot water? Even if I wash with brush cleaner and use quite frequent the bristle will still be hard?
BA: Yes. It’ll be stiff like that
Me: That’s weird. Nvm. I want this

What’s weird is I took out the brush and use my finger to loosen the bristle and immediately it’s loosen and the “C” shape is visible! The downside is the glue which glued the bristle together is already harden like hell and it flew off everywhere! When I got home, I washed the brush with brush cleaner and the brush looks like eyeshadow brush now. Not anywhere near of what the BA told me.

This is how the brush look like after I loosen the bristle.

The glue is still pretty much intact.
