Quick Review: Aveda Flax Sticks Daily Effects Brush Set
Aveda Flax Sticks Daily Effects Brush Set ($65.00) includes a Medium Eye Color Brush (#2), Brow & Lash Brush (#7), and Blush Brush (#9). The handles are made of 30% natural flax fiber and 70% polypropylene (90% is post-consumer recycled resin). The bristles are 100% taklon, which means they are synthetic and not made out of animal hair.
The bristles on all three are incredibly soft; no scratchiness whatsoever, and the blush brush was extremely dense. I liked the Eye Color Brush the most, because it picked up a good amount of color without puffing it everywhere. The blush brush could have been a touch firmer, but otherwise worked well for me. I have not tested these brushes for longevity or put them through extensive washing/using tests, though, so I cannot comment on long-term conditions.
Welcome to Swatch-all-idays! To start 2011 off on the right foot (or post, as it may be!), Temptalia is going through a backlog of products we have photographed, swatched, and often tested but in a slightly different manner. Quick reviews may be partially incomplete, such as a blush may only be swatched on the arm rather than shown on the face. It is our hope that what we are able to provide is still helpful!

- Product: 27/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
RECOMMENDATION: As set, it’s a nice value, because you’re getting three high-end brushes for about $20 a pop (while the face brush would certainly be more valuable). They’re soft, seem sturdy, and didn’t shed.
AVAILABILITY: Aveda

wow its so pretty and organic looking!
The handles are quite a turn off for me. :/
I agree.
i really like the handle…just saying …hehehe
i love the products
how similar are they to EcoTools?
Denser, maybe a little softer – shapes aren’t quite the same.
I will definitely check them out at Aveda. I love the handles on them. I don’t like double ended brushes.
They seem a lot like the Eco tools brushes, which are comparably much cheaper. I loooveeee my Eco tools brushes hahha.
I love these! If I didn’t already own more brushes than any one person needs, I’d buy these.
wow these look exactly like eco tools brushes, which are a lot less expensive.
why was this disliked so many times?? I mean, brushes are different than colors, you can’t know how a brush applies unless yyou actually use this. And this got a pretty good grade…
Totally different brand, and don’t know if I can ask this here.. but what do you think of The Body Shop’s makeup brushes?
I haven’t tried them, sorry!
Thanks for replying! =)
I go to the Aveda Institute and I got these in my kit… I really love them. There’s 2 sets of brushes, I have both and I use them all the time outside of school. They’re amazing.
I love the handles, they looks so gorgeous!
