It's been quite a while since my last post, for those who don't know I have had surgery which meant a night in hospital and a lot of time recovering. I'm finally starting to get up and about so I thought I would do a blog post.
Yesterday I decided to order some new make-up brushes from Crown Brush. I wanted some eye make-up brushes but didn't want to spend a lot of money at this time with me being off work sick, even though good quality brushes are a great investment. I knew Crown did some reasonable quality brushes quite cheap and have quite a few of their brushes already, so I put in an order. I was really quite surprised when they turned up today.
In total, with postage (£2.99) and VAT included my order came to £24.15 which isn't at all bad for five brushes.
So the brushes are (from top to bottom):
- SS012 Deluxe Crease £3.49
- C431 Precision Pencil £4.39
- SS021 Syntho Blending Fluff £4.99
- BK45 Deluxe Angle Liner £2.19
- C433 Pro Blending Fluff £6.09
They are all excellent brushes but after trying them out I would love to buy a few more of the two blending brushes. I prefer the C433 brush for applying colour to the lid rather than blending as it is a little scratchy for blending but in shape it is very similar to the MAC 217 brush. I love the SS021 brush for both blending colour, applying cream eyeshadow and for applying concealer so will definitely have to order a few more of these. The angle liner brush makes for a great brow brush as well as liner so I may have to double up on this also. Overall a good order, the only brush I am unsure of is the SS012 Deluxe Crease brush, I thought it would be more of a blender as all of the other "deluxe crease" labelled brushes I own from crown are quite fluffy. This is very much a socket brush and I don't really have a defined socket. This would be fantastic for those who do so this one might have to make its way into my kit rather than my own personal collection.
If you are looking for good brushes at a good price you really can't go wrong with crown, particularly for smaller brushes for the eyes. I've never had a problem with service and with good care their brushes do last well.
If you are interested in placing an order they currently have a 10% off promotion running this bank holiday weekend (I was a little too eager and missed out on this). Enter the code "Sunshine10" at the checkout.
Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy reading these posts. If you do please let me know, there will be a few more going up soon as I am playing a bit of catchup, so keep a look out for the April Glossybox review and my April favourites amongst other things.
