Crown Brushes

So I broke down and finally ordered a brush set as a Christmas gift to myself recently. Although I’m a pretty simple girl, I felt I need more necessity brushes to be able to expand my skills in applying makeup.

For the longest I was dying to try the “Make Me Up” set of brushes that are produced by Sigma, but I could not find the courage to spend over 100 dollars on 12 brushes. Granted, I know those brushes are made with good quality, but with me trying to stick with my college budget, I simply can’t!

My alternative to this problem was Crown Brushes. I have heard many of mixed reviews on the certain brush set that I got, but I decided to try them out anyways. With them being less than 40 dollars, I went ahead and bought them.

I was like a kid on Christmas when they finally came in. The brush set I decided to buy was the 15 piece bronze set. The set came with a cute bronze reptile case and the brushes were beautiful with their black matte handles and shiny bronze ferrules.

Now I have heard plenty of bad reviews about the quality of the brushes, but honestly I like them. Maybe its because I don’t have a lot to compare them to, but I feel like I don’t need anything fancy and these are more than good enough for me. I think the brushes are soft and although I haven’t been able to use all of them yet, the ones I have used I am very pleased with them.

Of course there is the occasionally bleeding and shedding when I wash them, but they are holding up nicely right now!

With time I will be able to see how good they hold up and how much I continue to like them, but right now I’m a happy girl! 

Love and desserts,
