rèphr reviews and discussion

I’ve known about Rephr brushes for many years & have heard many great reviews, but makeup brushes are just something I wasn’t interested in spending much money on. Well, I finally decided to give natural fiber brushes a try & I went with Rephr because the price point. I prefer a more natural & light handed makeup application & decided natural fiber brushes might be a good option for my powder products. I purchased the 05 & shodo 05. I’ve only used a handful of times, but happy so far. The packaging is nice, especially for the shodo 05 brush (a bit fancier). I use the 05 for blush & do feel it gives a more even & diffused application. I’ve been using the shodo 05 for under eye powder application and it works nicely. I can’t personally speak to longevity as I’ve only had the brushes for a couple weeks, but they feel sturdy in the hand & I haven't noticed any shedding. Definitely would recommend for anyone interested in trying a natural fiber makeup brush because of price point.

I got the LC Collection— which I started using immediately out of the box (sidenote: packing was lovely, minimal but secure. The brushes came with brush guards to preserve the hairs during transit). The concealer brush is a standout, it gently diffuses the pigment in areas and is just the right amount of angularity to ensure a smooth finish in the harder to reach areas (side of the nose). I enjoyed the other two as well, but haven't used as much just because of pursuing a more bare-faced look in recent days.

These brushes are gorgeous and, more importantly, really lovely for applying eye makeup. I bought the complete eye set which was marked half-off through the “concept store” on their website. (I expect to get a feedback request form 60 days post-purchase and I am happy to provide feedback for a 50% discount…) At full price: eh - I’m not seeing anything about them that makes them worth the full amount with other comparable brushes available. But I’m happy with the order at the price that I paid.

Their makeup brushes are such high quality and you can buy them at a pretty discounted price during their concept store. I love their eyelash curler because it fits my eye perfectly and curls my lashes really well.

I have their hydration cream that I got from their testing store where they give you a discount in exchange for providing feedback. I think it's amazing! The texture is hydrating without making my face slimy after and it dries to a nice finish.

I purchased their highly emollient skin cream. I love the texture and feel. It's like a cross between a face lotion and a vaseline and I mean that in the most positive way. It feels rich without being greasy and it keeps my skin feeling plumped. Plus, no fragrance!

The quality is superb, but if you prefer vegan brushes, this might not be for you. Brushes are made with extra soft goat hair, I believe. For what it’s worth, I believe the hair is extracted by brushing the goat hair. The eyelash curler is also amazing quality. Works for Caucasian and Asian eye shapes. They also have a great program where they sell prototypes for a discounted price in exchange for your feedback. As a user, it’s great to know how much my input is valued.

Beautiful, sleek brushes that are multifunction and perform well. However, I find that the larger fluffy brushes shed on your face as you blend, which is a con for me.

rephr's eyelash curler is a godsend- it complements my asian eyes perfectly and has helped me curl my lashes in a way that i never was able to do before, and they now look better than they ever have. they included a few other curler pads, and i love the curler so much that after a week, i instantly went back and purchased more as gifts. the curler pad itself lasted me about half a year, even with near daily usage.
