Hi Friends/Followers/Readers :D
Sorry
for not posting yesterday as It was a busy day and not so happy day. Anyways, I will this Basicare Complexion massage Cleansing Brush Today. You may have
seen this in my Goodlife haul along with the Enliven conditioner nail polish remover.
Now
here’s a small story, I have been wanting to use this brush for ever or rather
I should say even before I started blogging that means more than an year ago,
but just like few things that we want to try but we every time we will place an
order we tend to forget completely about that and think next time I will
definitely but that next time never comes in the near future.

Reason
I wanted to try this, because my skin is combination
with oily T- Zone and normal cheeks. And my nose that is the problem area in my
face gets oily very soon and also needs frequent exfoliation. So, I thought it
would be good if I exfoliate with a soft brush and some cleanser rather than
scrubbing the area daily.

Price: This Basicare complexion Massage Cleansing Brush comes at 190 INR and I have seen it at the time a year ago when it was only
145 INR. It isn’t available on many sites as well.
This
brush was the only reason for my shopping with goodlife as it wasn’t available elsewhere online. I was really
happy the day I got it and as usual before even opening the pack I took
pictures so that I could put them for review.
Now,
while taking pictures I realized that the Brush
is made up of good quality wood and looks great with a rubber grip in the
middle with a hole at the end through which a cord passes and tied in a loop so
as to store it in the bathroom in an upside down position, once you are done
with it so that it can dry. The brush stands around 6 inches tall with a 2
inches head in diameter.

I
noticed that it says that the bristles
are natural bristles but that’s not the case. It has plastic bristles along with the pale natural bristles. The plastic
ones are like that we find in our tooth brushes and even same in the diameter
too. They are transparent so they are not visible. They shed as well not badly
but one or two here and there. Did you see that bristle in the picture above?
While
I was using this I took some cleanser on it and tried to gently move it in
circles to exfoliate but to my disappointment, it wasn’t good at all. It felt
really abrasive and rough on the
face. My face after using this was like burning. I know that was due to the plastic
hard bristles in it.

I
was wondering what it would have done if used by someone who had sensitive
skin. Gosh! That was such a bad experience. :/
I
think it will exfoliate to the extent that for the rest of the month you won’t
touch anything else. It’s such a bad
product! :/
The
purpose for which I bought it remains unsolved; instead of this I should have
used a washcloth daily for gentle exfoliation.
For
that price it’s a dud!! I really don’t like it. It’s one of those products that
looks great and promising and has great packaging with excellent overall
appearance but when it comes to performing they prove to be mere flash in the
pan.
Now,
since I got it may be I will use it for my hands and feet during my DIY
manicure and Pedicure sessions but never on the face.
One
thing I would like to say here that when it’s kept in warm water for sometime then the bristles soften and it isn’t
that harsh. But still I will not recommend it.
Pros of Basicare complexion Massage Cleansing Brush:
- Looks really good
- Wooden handle with rubber grip makes it easier to work with.
- Looped cord helps in drying it.
Cons Basicare complexion Massage Cleansing Brush:
- Availability is limited.
- Expensive for a face brush
- Bristles are a mixture of plastic and natural ones.
- Plastic bristles make it stiff and harsh on the skin
- Not at all for sensitive skin, and other skin types too.
- Can be used on the body but that won’t be the reason anyone’s going to purchase it.
- Bristles do shed
- Very harsh on the face and gives burning feel

DeleteI was waiting for this review :P It's a dud!! Great review Niesh :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gowme! Don't even think of trying it! :D
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that this was such a disappointment :(
ReplyDeleteI find that a really great and gentle face brush is the one Shiseido has. It is expensive, but it is so gentle and it works really lovely, and it lasts forever. The bristles in it are synthetic, but sooooo gentle!!!!
I thought it would be gentle that's why I purchased it, Never knew it would turn out to be that bad. Will check out the one you suggested.:)
DeleteOm my god, such a rough brush. Thanks for letting us know dear :)
ReplyDelete:D I really wanted to review it asap.
Deletewaste of money really sad !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed! :(
DeleteNice review :) The brush looks good but it is really too harsh for the skin.
ReplyDeleteThank u Pearl!:) It looked really good which made me buy it but sadly it didn't do well!
DeleteOMG such a dud product thanks for the review Niesh :)
ReplyDeleteNo, It's not worth the price at all dear.:)
DeleteOMG thats such a dud.. Thanx for your review..I really wanted to buy this
ReplyDeleteIn my haul post everyone seems to get fascinated with this so i thought i should review it soon.:)
DeleteThe brush is so harsh to see!
ReplyDeleteIt has natural bristles and there the some plastic ones that makes it rough.
DeleteI was tempted when you showcased it earlier in a haul .. but it just didn't stand upto our expectations :(
ReplyDeleteNice review Niesh :)
I know dear! IN fact a lot of you wanted a review and when i came to know it's such a bad one, i thought I should review it soon.:) So that atleast others shouldn't waste their money on it.
DeleteSuch honest review, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewill never go near this, can imagine what it can do to my dry n sensitive skin :0
Thanks dear.:)
DeleteEven I was thinking the same that my skin isn't that sensitive and still I felt burning sensation after using this.Really can't and don't want to imagine what it would have done to sensitive skin.:/
Wat happened Nieshu??
ReplyDeleteThe bristles are looking abrasive in the pic itself. Will skip it.
Yes dear, they are abrasive as they are of plastic. Really don;t like this brush.Plz do skip it!
DeleteNice review...few days back I am almost about to buy this but due some reasons I couldn't finalise my purchase..thank god my money saved...:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Puja.:)
DeleteGood to hear. It's not at all worth the money dear.
I haven't used anything like that on my face. It's sad it wasn't a good product.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny, but you know what I would like to use? My dad has a brush for his shaving foam and I have heard it is very good for the skin and that's why men have nice skin!
I may buy one for me to use it with a face scrub!
No it's not dear. It was a sheer waste of money and i don't want anyone to waste their money on this product.
DeleteI had the same thing in my mind that the bristles would be delicate like shaving brush so that it could be used daily with a cleanser. but sadly it was not.
I am sorry it didn't work out :( and at that price, it surely would pinch. There is this Faces face cleanser, have heard the same bad reviews on that too. Wonder don't these brands even check if the bristles prick at the back of the hand or the cheeks?
ReplyDeleteNo Gagan, It didn't :( Even I don't understand why they dont test or use them themselves before launching in the market.
Deletethanks a lot Niesha! I have sensitive skin, and it was in my wishlist! U saved me! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! Stay away from this.:)
DeleteI was so happy to first see its review by you but after reading, got a clear picture of it. You saved a lot of us Niesha :)
ReplyDeleteI understand dear, since it looks very good I wanted to share the review soon so that people should not waste their money on this. :)
DeleteI wished it worked out.... But nice review... I had similar olay tool but its not launched yet in India :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Shreya.:) I wished the same but it didn't!
DeleteA shame it wasn't good. haven't tried this face cleanser brushes yet :)
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time as well.:)
DeleteThis Just Shows How Much Professional a Company Is!
ReplyDeleteThe Bristles Of The Brush Are Such Basic Thing.. They Didn't Even Care To Check It on Their Hands!
They have mixed the plastic toothbrush like bristles inside the natural ones. They should have at least tested it to check it works or not.
