Hello there lovelies!
A few months ago, I stumbled across these two brushes on iherb.com. It seems that Ecotools has changed their look with the brushes and has brought out some new additions to their collection.
If you haven't heard of this brand, here is some background; the Ecotools brand uses cruelty-free and recycled materials to create their products. Their brushes use cruelty free talkon bristles, recycled aluminum for their ferrules and bamboo for their handles. Some of the brushes in the range come in a cotton hemp bag, which acts as reusable storage for these brushes. The brand is very affordable and the quality is amaze-balls for the price.
Back to these two brushes, I present to you the Face and Body Sculpting Brush and the Airbrush Concealer Brush.

You can see with the Airbrush Concealer brush, that the aluminum ferrule has changed from a silver colour to a brown, which matches the colour change in the bristles as well (to an all brown, from a two toned beige and brown).
- EcoTools Face and Body Sculpting Brush -
Firstly, the Face and Body Sculpting Brush is massive, its the biggest face brush I have in my collection and the bristles are incredibly soft and dense.
It's amazing to apply foundation with because the denseness buffs my foundation in like a dream, and cuts my foundation time in half. The bamboo base is very smooth and sturdy, comfortably fits in the hand and the shape of the brush overall looks lovely when it sits on my vanity.
The only con of this product I can think of is that you need to be careful that this brush can soak up a lot of your foundation since it is very big. How I avoid this is dotting the foundation on my face first then using the brush, instead of putting the foundation on my brush.
I have not seen this brush in stores yet, however, on iherb.com it retails for $9.97.

- EcoTools Airbrush Concealer Brush -
Next is the Airbrush Concealer Brush, this is also another new addition to Ecotools brush range and I am going to say already that I don't like this brush as much as the Face and Body Sculpting Brush. I have a couple of the eye brushes from Ecotools and I find that the bristles on this brush are a tiny bit rougher than the other older brushes. However, after using a bit of extra virgin olive oil with my brush cleaner, it does help soften the bristles. This brush does apply concealer nicely, using circular motions blends it well. I also like this brush to blend out harsh lines when using a cream shadow over the lid.

I noticed straight away when I got this brush that it was very similar to the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush. The shape of the bristles are almost the same, however the feel of the bristles on each brush is different. The Ecotools brush has thicker hairs, whereas the RT brush has thinner hairs, but there is more of them which makes the RT a bit more denser, but these are only minor differences. A good dupe I would say.This brush is also not in Australian stores yet, but on iherb.com it retails for $3.50.
