Ha, I knew u would be on it! :grin:

There is also the FLIRT brand (found @ kohls, owned by estee lauder) skunk brush and its good but a little small and soft for foundation application. I really like it for blush and bronzer though. I got the one from costal scents yesterday...I hope it is more the size of the mac and prescriptives one. The flirt one is $7 and kohls often has all flirt cosmetics buy 2 get one free so I got 2 brushes (their blending brush is good too and was $7) and a lipgloss for under 20 bucks.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r289/lesliemostly/Flirt_-_MAC_-_Prescriptives_Skunk_B.jpg

Thanks JLove & Leslie, I didn't realize there were so many dups to the 187. I ordered from coastalscents after watching EnKore's video yesterday....I couldn't pass up $7.95:nono:

I've got my eye on that NYX stippling brush... I just can't see myself paying $50+ for a makeup brush right now...

Target's Sonia Kashuk line also has a dupe on that skunk brush for about $12. It has a white handle and is labeled "Highlighting" brush.

I've been to about 3 different targets in my area and haven't found it yet. :ohwell:

GBD,
If you call Target headquarters they can tell which stores carry the brush. I live in south GA and discovered that the stores in Tallahassee, FL or Macon, GA carried the brush. The next time I was in town, I picked up two!

Me three, I wish I could buy it online.

Well... I went ahead and bought the real thing. :blush: Believe me I did my research. I had just been hearing that nothing compares to the 187. Good luck to those still searching for dupes, though. PLEASE let me know if you find a good one. :yep:

Now I went to Target, Sally's, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Walmart looking for this brush and none of the stores had it. So I'm in Walmart browsing and I run across this:

Now I'm not sure if this was a stippling brush or not, but I bought it just for the brush and I just tested it out to see if it worked and I liked how my foundation came on with it. Again...I don't think this is exactly the brush but it was the closest thing that I saw to it.
