Today I've decided to write a small review on the Spectrum Collections brushes whichh I have owned for around three weeks now and have been absolutely loving.
The brushes which I purchased are:
C01 - No#1 fan, a large fan shaped brush which I use to apply highlighter on to the top of my cheek bones, brow arch and cupid's bow.
C03 - Flawless Finish, which I use to apply face powder over the top of my base with in order to set my foundation and concealer.
C04 - Killer Cheek Bone, this is a slightly angled brush and I typically use this to apply my blusher.
B01 - In The Buff, I don't use this one everyday, it has shorter, denser bristles, when I do use this brush it is mostly for blending my contour.
B02 - Well Rounded, which is similar to B01 but the bristles are rounded off at the side, I typically use this for a slightly heavier blush.
Now I'm not sure if I'm using these brushes correctly, 'cause hey! I'm no make up artist, but I do think these brushes are absolutely amazing, they are so soft and not a single bristle has fallen out which to me proves the quality of them.
The only discrepancy I did have with the brushes was that they smelt very strongly of lacquer when they first arrived. A lovely lady on Twitter swiftly replied to me informing me that it was just the smell of the lacquer & paint from the handles not the actual bristles and that with a good airing they would be fine. They also offered to swap the brushes for me but I didn't want the hassle of having to send the brushes back to them and having to wait a while to get replacements, so I just gave them a really good wash with a spot of shampoo and they have been completely fine since, they have even washed fine too.
When ordering I ordered the C01 Large Fan Brush, which is here then the other 4 brushes in a Contour Face Set which is here. I also own their Lilac blending Sponge, which I received in May's Birchbox which you can have a look at here. When you first set up an account with the site you get 10% off BONUS!!
I would certainly purchase from them again I couldn't recommend these brushes enough, they're so pretty to look at as well as being amazingly soft and genuinely brilliant brushes. In fact I already have my eye on a few bits I'm tempted to get:, so much gorgeousness:
*The Marbelous White Bag
*The Siren Smoke Eye Brush Set
