eBay Unicorn Brushes

Back in November I was strolling through Instagram before Sunday lunch, when I came across these brushes on Debra Bow’s account. When I read they was under £10 and from eBay I couldn’t stop myself from ordering them right there and then. I’m a terrible impulse buyer, this year I’m trying to save money so that’s definitely something I want to work on!  

If I can remember correctly they took what seemed like forever to arrive, I think it was two weeks or close to it! When I opened the padded envelope it was love at first sight. They are absolutely gorgeous to look at. They felt very soft. I went for the 7 piece set which included 4 face brushes and 3 eyeshadow brushes. They cost me around £8.00. I wanted to test these with different products and wash them so I could give you an honest review.

It’s a very stunning set of brushes and sure to catch anyone’s eye sitting on your dressing table. They are very light in weight, and feel slightly cheap. Which I guess they are! I always worry when brushes feel ‘too soft’ I find they don’t do their jobs well.

I’ll start with my favourite brushes which are the eye ones, I find they do a good job and pack the colour and blend very well. I don’t use the foundation brush, as I prefer a different style. I find your classic foundation brush gives you a very cakey finish in general. The powder and blusher brush I don’t like I’ve tried it a few times and they have always felt like they weren’t doing anything they are too soft if that makes sense.  

They wash well with minimal shredding on the first wash. I don’t know if you can see but two of the brushes have stains from products I tried my best to try get them clean without damaging them.   

Overall I think this is a great starter set for anyone, or makes a great gift. They look very pretty in a brush holder next to my spectrum ones! I do love an eBay bargain.

Have you got any eBay makeup bargains?
