Evening beautiful people!!!!
I apologise now for not posting on Thursday (just gone), I have had an awful week. Cody, my Guinea Pig almost died. He was soooo poorly. It's a real long story which I will save for another day but to put a long story short...
He stopped eating, going to the toilet and I noticed his breathing was awful, he was struggling to breathe and I couldn't understand why. So I was back and forth at the vets, which is a way away from me for almost a week. He had to stay in their hospital twice and is on a lot of meds. Basically, he has Pneumonia caused by his stupid middle ear infection, so it's been touch and go again. If you don't know the full story about Codes you can read it here.
So yeah, that's why I have been M.I.A. a lot from social media and my blog. Obviously my little piggy comes first so I hope you understand.
:)
As you have guessed from the title this little post is solely dedicated the the marvellous Spectrum Collections.
"The World's most instagramable makeup brushes."
Everyone has heard of them so I don't need to introduce the brand to you because these brushes are highly sort after.
Spectrum kindly sent me their 8-piece eye blending brush set last week to try out and review, which is super nice of them. I am really grateful.
I did want the marble brushes but unfortunately they had sold out completely. These brushes however are totally cute and totally unicorn themed!!
Well they could be either Mermaid or Unicorn themed, you can decide!!
I love the colour scheme of these brushes, they are so bright and playful and so darn cute!! They are also vegan registered and cruelty free. Can someone give me a "hell yeah"!
They feel sturdy in your hand but also lightweight enough to be able to control the brushes whilst using them.
Can I just say... The bristles... OMG they are SOOOOOOO soft!!! I don't think I have ever felt anything like it, bar from a fluffy animal being rubbed on my face. Ha.
Seriously, you need to feel them!! In fact you can get yours here for £29.99.
Oh wait, what is this? They are currently on sale for £22.99. GO GO GO!!!
When it comes to trying out new brushes, I really do have to get used to them. Once I have been using a set for a while and then swap to a new one you have to get to grips on how to handle them.
Crikey it's sounds like I am trying to tame a beast. :D
My first challenge was trying to work out which brush does what. They brushes themselves have a letter and number code on them but not a titled name. To find out, you have to go onto their website.
Me, I just winged it and used them for what I thought would suit certain areas of my eye.
I actually really enjoyed working with these brushes. I think the fact that the bristles are so soft really helped with the blending process. The only thing I would say is that because the brush heads are pretty dense but fluffy, when applying the shadow it will pick up the product but it takes a couple of attempts to build the colour up. Other than that I really enjoyed using them.
I wanted to create a whole makeup look surrounding the theme of these brushes and to only use these brushes obviously on my eyes.
This is what I created below, I took the pinks, purples and blues of the brushes and adapted these onto my eye look.
Spectrum, I hope you like what I have created with your fab brushes!! Thank you again for your kindness!
