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?

These are beautiful I might have to get some, they're definitely a bargain for the price! eBay always has some great finds x
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong for the price. Even if its for display purpose only x
DeleteThese are so pretty, I'm not surprised you were straight on eBay with them being under £10! I would totally get them if I didn't have way too many brushes already!

hehehe Bow is a bad influence on us all. But they looked amazing! x
DeleteThey do look very nice, I agree about being too soft I like some brushes soft but others just need to have a bit of resistance lol. Pretty to display though! xxxx

Yeah, i hate applying foundation when i feel like its doing a paint brush job and not blending! xx
DeleteThey are very very cute brushes!! Always love it when an eBay bargain doesn't turn out to be the worst thing in the world! X
ReplyDeleteYeah!
DeleteI don't think you can go wrong for £8 x
These are lovely. Although seeing all this unicorn stuff about makes me wonder what people will do with it all when it goes out of fashion!

Yeah I looked at getting a more expensive set hoping they would be better but then I think you can't go wrong with a classy set x
DeleteThey look gorgeous! I think instead of actually using these I'd just use them as props for blog photos as they are too pretty to use!
