As mentioned yesterday I went to an event on Saturday and one of the brands present was Crown Brushes. I had heard a few things about them mainly on other beauty blogs so I thought I'd buy a few brushes to road test for myself.
The first thing that shocked me was the price, they are ridiculously low priced with the most expensive brush I bought being £7 for the angled contour/blush brush the rest cost around £4 and my complete haul came to £25! Amazing huh?
My first impressions were they are a little dry and not as soft as some leading brand brushes (MAC,Sigma) but after washing them they seem to have softened up quite a bit. They don't feel all that cheap and have a decent weight to them so far there has been no shedding but I will revisit this in a few weeks. They are also quite dense and well packed bristle wise.
If you are looking for a few cheap brushes I would recommend giving them a go, you can buy the brushes via their website www.crownbrush.co.uk
Have you found any good budget brushes lately?
I love crown brushes.

I love foot tattoos, can't wait to see it when you get it done. I need to redo my foot one. & some other once. I didn't even know about Fashion Flower, I was on their site, & saw it. Its cute! I like the 'lucky green' or whatever its called E/S. But totally waiting for that SurfBaby blush, & now after seeing your lipstick, that lipstick.
I am flat out broke, you come to AZ. I will show the desert, cactus, mts, & cows!

Humm I was about to buy Crown brushes when Kandee was raving about the kit being cheap. But then I didn't really know about them, so deceided to pass. Let us know after a while how they are!
ReplyDeleteI really like EcoTools, but own a few of these. :)
ReplyDeletei heard crown and coastal scents brushes are like, the same...? idk though. I just ordered coastal scents brushes and they were totally inexpensive, haven't tried them out but they look/feel pretty nice!
ReplyDeleteI ordered the Crown brush kit with Kandee's code. (: I think most of the brushes are pretty soft & decent for the price, especially love the rounded shadow blending brush but there are a few scratchy ones that I can't see any use for. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, btw. :D
Great post:)
ReplyDeleteYou got an award from me:)
