New Brushes From Coastal Scents

Boxes from Coastal Scents are always fun, it usually means I have something new to play with. They recently released 6 new brushes and a metallic purple brush belt. The belt will probably end up as a give away prize on this blog at some point but I will be using and testing the brushes.

Firstly, I'll give just a quick overview on my initial thoughts. All 6 brushes have black handles and black ferrules. The handles feel quite solid with a decent weight, I don't feel as though these would break any time soon. As always, the quality varies. One feels amazing on the skin and another sheds like my Labrador. Plenty of dye comes out of the black bristles after washing.

Face brushes first:


From top to bottom
-Black Sable Buffer Brush ($8.49) - very soft and very dense, planning to use on mineral foundation application. Not as soft as the synthetic version.
-Black Stippler Brush ($7.95) - sheds like nothing else, synthetic fibres are firm but not scratchy.
-Black Foundation Synthetic Brush ($4.99) - very interesting brush, very fluffy foundation brush. Almost like the MAC 109 and 190 had a love child. Using it for liquid foundation.

Then we've got a few others:


From top to bottom:
-Black Detail Brush ($1.99) - hmm, concealer? Lips? Eye shadow? I've been using it to smudge eye shadow into pencil liner. It has a very thin edge which works well for that.
-Black Crease Brush ($1.89) - sheds a bit, not really scratchy. More testing needed!
-Black Sable Lip Brush ($3.49) - comes with a case which fits on the end to create the handle. I don't actually think I've got a proper lip brush, this one feels nice and solid so I'll be getting it stuck into my lip palettes.

I will eventually review all these on my blog, and one or two on YouTube.

I was sent these brushes to review by Coastal Scents, this has no effect on the review I give. I don't get paid for this.
