    The Vintage Cosmetic Company Makeup Brushes

    I’d been in need of some new makeup brushes for a while and so I was happy that one of my Christmas presents off my grandparents this year, was this selection of brushes and brush roll from The Vintage Cosmetic Company.

    Although I’d heard of The Vintage Cosmetic Company before, it had never occurred to me that they might be a good brand to go to for makeup brushes.

    I’ve currently been using these brushes each time I apply my makeup and I am loving them. The brush hairs are soft and each makeup brush helps me to apply my makeup with ease. I also really like the look of these brushes and the fact that they have the brush names printed on the handles.

    I think it’s great that the brush roll is oil clothe because it means that it easily wipes clean if and when I do get any makeup on it. I also love the pretty floral print of the brush roll, which certainly has a vintage look.

    The Vintage Cosmetic Company Smokey Eye Brush Set Review

    I’m currently loving all of these brushes but my favourite three have to be the foundation brush, powder brush and blush brush.

    It’s been a while since I last used a foundation brush (as I had been using mostly sponges for quite some time). This foundation brush helps my makeup to easily glide on and it is great for creating a flawless look. I’ve been using a small about of brush cleaner after each use, in order to keep the brush clean and so far it’s stayed really soft.

    The powder and blush brushes are great at picking up just the right amount of product for a light and easy application. It’s been such a long time since I found a blush brush that I like as much as this one. It helps my blusher to glide on like a dream and I feel it’s perfect for adding just the right amount of blush.

  • Uspicy 10 Piece Makeup Brush Set Review

    Uspicy 10 Piece Makeup Brush Set Review

    Recently I received these makeup brushed from Uspicy. I hadn’t previously heard of the brand before so I didn’t know what to expect but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised and have been ever since using them.

    First of all they come neatly packaged in this gift style storage box. Inside the set contains 10 different makeup brushes; 5 large and 5 slim/smaller brushes, each for different types of makeup application.

    Along with the set comes a small booklet which includes a list and picture of each brush, along with a small description next to each, suggesting what each brush be used for. The booklet includes multiple languages, one of them of course being English. The booklet is quite helpful especially if you’re not used to using some of the makeup brushes, as it tells you which part of the face and what type of products they are intended for. The only error I spotted was that one of the brushes was titled in what I can only describe as gibberish, which I renamed the ‘Rounded Angled Brush’ for the purpose of this post. Other than that, I found the booklet rather handy.

    As well as the booklet, inside the box comes a Uspicy card, which you can write on as a gift card to someone if you’re giving the brushes as a present.

    The brushes themselves are smartly branded in gold with the Uspicy logo and have glossy white handles and gold rims. I think the brushes look smart and each brush feels so soft! I’ve loved using the flat brush to apply my BB cream/foundation and the round brush to add powder. Both feel lovely and soft when applying products all over my face. I’ve used the majority of the brushes in this kit so far and I’m really pleased with all of them. As of yet I’ve seen no malting and the brushes have kept their softness even after regular use.

    I think these brushes are really good value for money and I’m glad I was introduced to them as they have now took the place of my everyday makeup brushes. You can find the Uspicy brushes here.
