The Perfect Brush Combo!

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!

Carousel Cosmetics Eye Brush Combo

I received these eye brushes in the vault and am in love! The bristles are very soft and fluffy, and the handle is a nice length.

I have found that because they're so soft, the bristles do fan out a little which makes it more difficult for targeted shadow application but at the same time, it also helps make blending easier. I'd also have appreciated if they printed the brush names onto the handles as they're both very similar in appearance.

The brushes are very good at picking up and holding the product without creating any messy fallout.

They came packaged in a purple cardboard sleeve and also were in individual plastic bags to protect the bristles themselves. The cardboard sleeve was fairly squashed when I received it but the brushes themselves were undamaged.

I would definitely recommend these brushes and look forward to trying other Carousel Cosmetics brushes!

Perfect Eyes Brush Combo

I was really skeptical about using make-up brushes again as the last brushes I bought were really cheap, did an average job and the brush heads came off the sticks really easily. I got my Carousel Cosmetics brushes from the Beauty Vault and have been pleased with these brushes. They are of a high quality for their price and are shaped perfectly for precise and even eye shadow application. Good-bye shadow sponge applicators, you will not be missed.

Carousels Brushes

For months I had been watching these brushes on Beauty Bliss. I would often go on their site to look at their carousel brushes. When I saw them added to the vault I knew I had to have them. I've never tried any products from Carousel before. This Brush set is my first experience using a brush set duo.

When my package arrieved in the mail I was keen to open it up. This brush set came in a purple long rectangular thin box. The box wasn't very sturdy. It was easily crinkled. I love this horse branding thats on the packet too.

Visually looking at them they remind me of a paint brush. The handle of the brush is black. The bristles are incased in a silver band. When I felt the bristles they felt soft . After washing them they lost their softness. The bristles are quite firmly incased. I haven't experinced any fall out so far.

When I applied my mellow eye shadow to my eyes using these brushes they get covered really well. I like how they blend out nicely over my crease. I really enjoy using these brushes. I think $15 dollars is pretty cheap for brushes that blends nicely. I use these same brushes with the eye shadow Im wearing in my profile picture. Im really happy with end results. I hope to try more carousel products in the future.

soft brushes

I got these through the wault and I love them they are very soft and are easy to use the price is reasonably well as it does cost a lot for others, they are the best that I have used so far, make it so easier to put shadow on now instead of a cotton swab.

Super Soft.

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.

WOW

These brushes are amazing!! They've found a place in my personal brush set and I'll be buying more to add to my kit set! They're so soft and so fluffy and pick up colour incredibly well! The blender brush is a god send that perfectly blends out my shadow and I love how long the handles are on the brush! Fully recommend these brushes! They're Absolutely amazing!

A place in my brush collection

These brushes have found their way into my most used brush collection. I have a few brushes that I use often and after receiving these I have used them nearly every day!

The brown bristles are nice and soft, but remain sturdy and easy to use. I wasn't entirely sure which brush was which at first as they are quite similar in size, the blending brush is just a little rounder. I think it would be better if one of the brushes was smaller than the other. The black handles are just the right size, they're not too thick and not too thin.

My everyday look consists of nude eyeshadows and soft browns with eyeliner. I wouldn't recommend these brushes for darker eyeshadows or anything intricate as they are on the larger side which makes them harder to control, with more natural colours they are brilliant.

I've tried them with my all of my favourite eyeshadows and it all goes on nice and smooth. The blending brush really does help to blend, I have a couple of other brushes that claim to be blending brushes but can't get the job done, but these Carousel ones sure do.

They were also easy to wash and didn't lose any of the bristles.

Tips: Fast and easy application for more natural colours. It was quite hard to get more detailed and darker eyeshadows to look good as they're not very small brushes!

Duo carousel eyebrush

The packaging that these little eye brushes are cute and are packed individually inside their wrappers. The brushes are a sleek black design and the hair is soft yet durable. These brushes are alright to pick up eye shadow colours but if you want to enhance the colour I would recommend slightly wetting the tip of the brush to darken the colour. These are easy to clean and reuse without worrying that that hair of the brush is going to come out. If you want an affordable brush I would recommend purchasing these to all.

Tips: With the eye shadow brush pick a small amount up at a time and gradually build it up till you reach the colour you want

A duo that works in perfect harmony

I have always found it hard to find eyeshadow brushes that work for my hooded eyes to make them pop without over doing it. I usually resort to using my fingers and then rub off excess shadow to avoid the mutton dressed as lamb scenario. That was until these absolutely perfect brushes found their way in to my mailbox and now the newest members of my brush family.

I had never heard of Carousel Cosmetics so of course not being a familiar brand I was skeptical about how well they would perform. My expectations were to be blown wide open when I found myself loving these far more than my real techniques brushes! Gasp! Shock horror I know!! For me I have large hands for a girl so I find it hard to work an eye brush that is far too small for my mits. These are perfect for me. They are long and quality made from what I have found. They are almost paintbrush like which is very fitting considering they create and are themselves masterpieces.

The bristles......so soft and feathery for the applicator brush and distributes that shadow perfectly every time with no fuss. The blending brush spooked me a little bit because blending has never been my forte at the best of times. I kept an open mind and plodded on. I decided to go for the age old smokey eye look with a light base and a dark purple smoke at the edge. It's almost as if the brushes have magnets in them because that shadow wasn't going anywhere. It stayed put in the bristles and went on to my eye without any fall out....SCORE!

With the blending brush it made it feel almost effortless. I just rubbed it across my lid in the blending motion and low and behold smoked eye!! I was ecstatic and every single time after that the same thing happened. These brushes now take pride of place in my top makeup draw along with my other holy grail brushes! The only complaint I would have is that the brush type isn't clear. For someone like me that is still learning what each brush does I have no idea which is which until I google searched it. But for me that is minor and doesn't hurt the quality of these babies. New besties!

Tips: Google the brush sort if you are not sure because for me as a learner I thought the blender was the applicator and vice versa.
