Amazon Brush Rolls

I don't know about other people, but I tend to go through phases where I want want want brushes. I'm especially a sucker for brush rolls because I travel a lot and the convenience of throwing a few brushes in a brush roll is great, especially for those days when you make last minute plans and have to run out the door.

This particular brush roll....I don't recommend. I've ordered the Shany Cosmetics Brush roll off of Amazon, I would absolutely recommend that one ONLY for the face brushes. 

Lets get into this review (:


This is what the brush roll looks like all rolled up. I can actually say I was impressed that it didn't have that harsh chemical smell that most brush rolls have when they first arrive in the mail. This one is simple, and quite small, not so small that I would consider them a travel size set, but definetely smaller than I'm used to. I would say size wise, it's a little bit smaller than the Sigma Brush Rolls, maybe by a few centimeters.

The brush roll is made out of fake leather*
These brushes are made our of natural goat hair (face brushes)
and synthetic hair (all other brushes, including fan brush)
$11.95 (Though I brought mine for $13)

Eye brow comb, sponge brush, spooli, lip brush, angled eye brush

These are all the brushes that come in the roll,and honestly, I was quite disappointed, but that's only to be expected. It didn't really surprise me that I didn't care for these brushes. At $11.95 for the entire set, I wasn't expecting much.

These brushes are very small, and I tend to use them for smudging eye shadow into my lower lash line, or as an inner corner high light. For anything other than that, there is no use to these brushes because they are so small. 

The face brushes aren't dense enough to be used to apply things. I would only recommend using these brushes if you are using a product that is crazy pigmented like Nars Blushes. These brushes won't pick up as much product, but you will need to go in with another brush to blend out the powders because I find that these will leave your powders with a harsh line (not attractive -__-)

So- overall I give this product a 2.
I don't completely hate it, I just think if you are someone who invest in your makeup and/or are a make up junkie or have high expectations of products, don't waste your money here.
This is, however, perfect for beginners. And even as a gift. If you have to gift something to someone you don't really care for or even a young girl who's starting to explore makeup, this is the perfect thing!
