Carousel Cosmetics Perfect Eyes Brush Combo Review

These were a wee treat I picked up for myself in one of the BR beauty vaults, so thank you BR. It was perfect timing because i really wanted some makeup brushes, and these looked amazing, and perfect for a beginner like myself.

These brushes come in a pretty purple box, nothing amazing, but it keeps the brushes safe. The brushes are quite simple. They have a slender black handle which is light and easy to hold. It feels like its made of plastic, but i don't know for sure. The brush bristles are brown is colour, and they are so soft. Literally, the softest brushes i have ever used. I would really like these brushes to have their brush name written on the side. I think it is pretty common for brushes to have this, and i find it really helpful being a brush beginner.

The blending brush is really soft and fluffy, and fans out ever so slightly. It picks up the perfect amount of product, but use it gently or it does make a bit of a mess in the pan. It blends out product well, and diffuses colour beautiful through the crease. I also use it to blend colour onto the lid, and find it diffuses colour beautifully as well.

The shade brush has bristles slightly thinner, slightly softer, and with a more rounded end. It picks up matte colours well, but is no match for unique eyeshadow blends such as the MUG foiled eyeshadows, so dont even try. Because this brush is quite soft, and not very dense, i also find it hard to really pack on colour over the lid, and it create huge fall out when doing so because its such a soft brush. Ofcourse, fix+ does help that. But this brush is good for a natural, sweep of colour over you lids.

I will definitely be using the blender brush again, and recommend this brush. However, i'll be putting the shader brush aside for now, and maybe il bring it out again on a rainy day when i have time to master using it

I was lucky enough to pick up a few of these free with orders from BeautyBliss but they have become firm favourites of mine.

These slender handle brushes are just the right combination of grip and comfort to allow you to attain many applications of eyeshadow from using just the one brush. With a black shiny handle and silvertone barrel, the bristles are quite tightly bound together to create a tight point at barrel but fluffy end that is rounded in shape. The bristles themselves are soft and strong with no dragging or sharpness catching in your eye area and with every perfect eye brush I own I have never experienced any fall out from bristle or product on brush. Washing these bristles using a washing pad and makeup shampoo at least several times over (note I am not gentle on my brushes!) has seen no bristle fall out or resistance in cleaning, i.e no excess shadow retaining in the depths of the bristles after washing.

Being versatile these brushes allow you to use in it's brought state as fluffy blending brushes for all manner of shadows, to being wet down using water or a fixing spray and becoming more precise for more defined looks. There really isn't anything bad to say about these brushes at all and you will see me using them constantly.

I recieved these brushes about a week and a half ago and I wanted to make sure I gave them enough use before I posted a review on them. However it's safe to say as soon as I ran them across the back of my hand and felt how amazingly soft they were - I knew they'd be awesome. In the pack you get a fluffy blending brushed which is pinched at the top but fluffs out towards the end to make a perfect-sized blending brush. You also get a flatter sort of a "C" brush which I'd use for patting colour onto the lid.

The two brushes are the perfect duo - especially for beginners! I don't like spending heaps on eye brushes because I find that application doesn't change much from a $10 brush to a $100 brush in the eye category so I was pleased with the price point on these. They come in a box that looks as though it would house some sparklers for Guy Fawkes night. The blending brush as I said above is the PERFECT size for my wee eyes. Sometimes I find they make blending brushes TOO fluffy and then they're a bit large and messy to work with. This one is perfect. It does a fantastic job blending and it holds a good amount of product.' The "c" brush is a little bit bigger. It's quite tall for a "c" brush and you could probably get away with using it for blending too but it also carries a good amount of product and feels gorgeous on the eye so it works well as a lid brush in my case.

Overall, I absolutely LOVE these two wee brushes and I want MORE! (mainly so I don't have to wash them as often). They're super soft, fluffy, well sized, have nice long handles(?), and they do a fantastic job with any eyeshadows. I'd 100% recommend. x

I managed to pick these brushes up in the recent vault (hank you BR!). I'd been curious about these since I first heard of the brand but didn't want to pay $14.95 for 2 brushes.

These brushes are insanely soft. I am not 100% sure if they are synthetic but the way they perform makes me think they are. One brush is a medium sized dome brush that is great for blending and the other is a semi domed, flat eyeshadow packing brush.

The handles for these are a good length and the brushes aren't heavy. I personally prefer something a little heavier. They washed with ease and I haven't had any shedding from them whatsoever.

Because I am spoiled with Zoeva brushes, I find these average. They don't pick up eyeshadow as much as my Zoeva brushes (which are a blend of synthetic and animal hair, so I wonder if that is why?). This isn't a massive issue, it just means that I have to dip my brush into my shadows more than once. I think this is great for people that aren't too confident with eyeshadow as it reduces the risk of applying too much shadow at once.

The blending brush is a decent size and is pretty good at softening and blending out any harsh edges. The bristles are a good length but I wish they were slightly more dense as I have to work a little harder at blending with this.

Overall I think they are ok brushes. They aren't horrible but they aren't the best I've used either. For the price I would honestly rather get some of ELFs studio line brushes. In my opinion they are around the same kind of quality and perform similarly, but the ELF ones are a fraction of the price.

I was lucky enough to nab these in the last vault and am really pleased I did.

They both had lovely long brush handles which I really liked, made them nice and easy to use and the bristles were beautiful and soft and fluffy.

I am not a huge eyeshadow wearer or very clever when it comes to eyeshadow application I’m a bit more of a one colour on the lid and one colour used as a smokey eyeliner type of girl but these worked perfectly with my powder eyeshadows.

They were easy to use, picked up a good amount of eyeshadow without swallowing it and made application and blending easy.

At this price I would definitely purchase these myself and recommend to others to try.

The very first thing I noticed about these brushes were how soft they were. That being said, the bristles were very strong and did not fall out during washing. The brushes are soft enough that they don't drag the skin on the eyelid and they pick up a lot of eyeshadow and apply well will minimal fall out. Furthermore, the blending brush blends out the colours very well. The design of the brush handles are also very nice and simplistic, and easy to grip.

I really like these brushes. To be fair, I used brushes before I received these so I wasn't using the "silly little sponge applicators" like the description says. I like these more than the brushes I already had (just cheapies from Ebay). They are soooo soft and fluffy and I especially like the tapered blending brush for blending out the edges. They seem to pick up a LOT of product. That might have something to do with the shadows I'm using, but I totally forgot to tap off the excess the first time I used them and looked like a bit of a clown for a second.. I haven't had the chance to wash these yet so I'm not too sure how the shedding will go, but will definitely try to update my review when I do wash them.

I got these brushes and a few more from beautybliss. I have never heard of the brand carousel cosmetics but i love trying out new brands so i was excited to try these. The brush handles are long and really easy to use, there so soft and fluffy. I really like these brushes and there affordable. I really hope they bring out more brushes ill defiently purchase them

This is such a fantastic set. I was lucky enough to nab it in one of the earlier vaults and it is the only eyeshadow brush I use.

It's so soft, picks up pigment easily, blends like a dream and I like there are two brushes - one for packing and one for blending. I don't normally pack on eyeshadow so I typically use the fluffy blending one.

Fantastic purchase, so affordable. Easy to clean too! I just use some cleanser and rub the brush against a silicone pad and the shadow comes right out and the brush stays the same shape with the bristles all aligned!

Highly recommend!

I received this brush combo in the Beauty Vault. They are so soft and new. I love that feeling!

I'm glad I picked these up as these are my first real 'blending brushes'. I felt so spoil when I got these. They are amazing quality and I have not lost a bristle yet off them. I use these daily and they are super great at blending! I love how there are no harsh lines after I blend with these brushes. They make applying eye shadow fun!

I recommend picking these up and trying them out. They are life changing brushes!
