WHAT I GOT:
I got an
adorable 7-piece Mermaid Inspired Brush Set, a Silicone Brush Cleaner & 4 Glitter Pots.
HOW DID I GET ON WITH THEM?
They
basically all met my expectations. Or actually, they exceeded them in some
aspects.
THE BRUSH SET:
The makeup
brushes, which I mainly got for the design, turned out to be really soft. I had
no trouble doing my makeup when using them, the ones designated for the face I
found to be perfect, the eye brushes I can tell shed more than those,
especially the pointy blending brush, which poked my eye a little as the
bristles are a little too uneven for my taste.
The handles
are quite sturdy, at least they look and feel so, so far, but I definitely
should give them more time to fully judge.
The set
comprises 4 face brushes and 3 eye brushes.
The face
brushes have a contour, more pointy brush, a small blush brush (which I see
being used more for highlighter), and two practically IDENTICAL fluffy,
powder/blush brushes. So I either got them by mistake, and something went wrong
when picking them for shipping, or maybe the picture on the website is a little
misleading...? But I cannot really complain after all, they’re always useful!
For the eye
brushes I already expressed my opinion on one of them, which I
think is going to be a no for me, but the other two were completely fine: a flat
eyeshadow brush, and an angled eyeliner brush.
Note: I used the angled brush for THIS look, and as you can see, it’s ideal for
a thick line ;)
This set
retails for €8.03/£7.03/$8.99, and I can recommend it to someone who wants to upgrade
their brush collection without spending a ton, is bored of the classic designs,
and wants to add a little colour to their life.
THE SILICONE BRUSH CLEANER:
It’s a
little silicone Brushegg, a sort of egg shaped tool, with a combination of ribs
and bobbles on which you can rub the bristles of your brushes in order to clean
them thoroughly.
Compared to
what I usually do with them when it’s cleaning time (the dreaded moment I try
to delay as much as I possibly can), this turned out to be incredibly
comfortable. It basically does the job your fingers are supposed to do!
It takes
half the time I would normally take, and it’s great. It sort of made me curious
to test out the flat mat/pad brush cleaner they also have in stock (LINK HERE),
as I’m pretty sure it would be more comfortable, especially with bigger
brushes.
THE GLITTERS:
Soooo…
these guys are supposed to be used on your nails, but I fell in love and
decided to create some looks with them (obviously if you’re thinking about
doing the same be careful with them, you don’t want glitter in your eyes!).
First eye look with them à LINK.
It wasn’t
easy to choose, because the website has quite a few really pretty options.
Pictures will follow, but in the end I went for a fuchsia/silver pot, a rose
gold one, and 2 other types of glitters which mixed cold & warm tones together:
respectively a light blue-orange one and a turquoise-red-greenish one.
They stick
easily with my NYX Glitter Primer, and I’m planning on getting more colours because
they’re so cheap! ;P
I love to discover new websites where I can find good deals, this is one of them. I guess if I plan on getting more it means it's a good sign, so I encourage you to do the same and give it a go!
And don't forget to use the code "ERKA" on the BeautyBigBang's website for a 10% discount my loves <3
