I have been drooling over these brushes ever since I laid my eyes on them. They are just gorgeous!
I promised myself that I would wait for the sets to come back in stock however when I seen that they had a 50% off sale on I had to get some and try them out.
The first thing that attracts me to these vegan and cruelty free brushes are the blue and purple bristles with the beautiful pink handle.
I also purchased the Pom Poms Ready Set which are candy pink and come with a case in which I can store them all in.
On first use the brushes are extremely soft and so don't apply the make up as well as they should so I would suggest cleaning the brushes before you use them at all.
I have never been one to clean my brushes that frequently however the are just so pretty that I feel bad for getting them dirty so I have been cleaning these brushes every few days. If I could clean them everyday, I would!
They remind me of mermaids and I think that's what attracts most people. I am so desperate for the Glam Clam and I check the website daily to see what it will be back in stock as I know I'll have to be fast.
Anyway into the brushes I got... As I said I purchased the Pom Poms Ready set. This consists of 4 brushes and a storage case with a massive Pom Pom attached to it( how cute!) the brushes included are
A Flat Top Buffer Brush for applying powder or liquid foundation - this is absolutely my favourite brush! I had never used one of these brushes until now and I just love it! Before I had always used a Foundation brush to apy my foundation and the brush would deform and and the foundation would clunk inside it. The brush however applies it so naturally and beautifully to the skin, giving a perfectly even layer with the flat top, so much so that it hardly feel like you are wearing any. The soft bristles glide well across the skin so you do not get that rough brush feeling. One thing I would say is clean this brush as much as you possibly can to avoid the bristles sticking together!
A Dome Buffer brush for applying powder or bronzer. When using this brush it feels like you are hardly putting make up on. It's so soft and fluffy. Be careful when picking up powder and bronzer with it due to it being so soft, as a lot of it could just fly away - don't want to waste those perfectly good products!
Angled Blush brush for application of blush( both powder or Creme) - the brush is slightly smaller than the Dome brush and is great for blusher. Due to its size it sweeps evening across the ow of your cheeks. Like the Dome brush be careful with picking up powder ( if that's the type of blush you use). The angled edge makes it easier for application and helps give that shuttle glow to your cheeks.
Small Angled Shader Brush for blending and shading. It can also be used well as an eyeshadow brush. I use this brush more for eyeshadow, then again, I don't do a lot of contouring etc. It is a great blending brush when completing the likes of a smokey look. This brush also works well to blend in your blusher bronzer and highlighter to give a more natural and photo finish look.
I then decided to purchase some individual brushes. Although I was only trying them out before a big order, I went a little overboard and bought 6 to go along with the Pom Pom Ready set, it's fine though right? They were 50% off in my defence!
Best Face Forward Dome Contour Brush- a multi use brush perfect for contouring the eyes and nose. As well as blending the eyes and concealer. I love this brush. I tend to used it mostly on the eyes to apply a more prominent shade. It also belongs in concealer well, as although not flat topped, it's only slightly rounded at the top to leave a lovely smooth finish to your concealer before applying foundation.
Happy Medium, Medium Fluffy Shader - perfect for applying eye shadow. I bought 2 of these as I love a good eye shadow brush! The fluffy- ness of the brush is great for application and picks up eyeshadow well. It's not to big a brush meaning that it fits perfectly in the eye lid for apication.
Draw Mr Pretty Fluffy Eye Pencil - perfect for the smaller details, in the crease of your eye or even underneath the eye. I use this brush for the outer corners of my eye as it is quite small in shape and quite pointy so it works well to apply more precisely in the corners without getting eye shadow everywhere and is perfect for lining the bottoms of your eyes.
No Baggage Oval Concealer Brush - used to apply concealer and a great blending brush also. Great concealer brush, again, due to liquid use, clean thoroughly as often as possible to keep its shape. I find that it works well for under the eyes as the brush it quite flat and so reaches up to the eyes well.
Game, Set and...Dome Setting Brush - used for highlighters, bronzer sand powders. Perfect for the finishing touches to your make up. I like this little brush. It's perfect for tidying up everything and lightly apying powders.
As you can see I did buy quite a few brushes, but I cannot wait to get more. Amazing brushes both to use and to look at.
These brushes are so gorgeous, I'm definitely trying them out!!
