Soft and fluffy

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.

Didn't think I needed this... until I tried it

Ok I am going to be honest, up until I received these brushes, I used my finger to apply eye shadow. I didn't think I needed a brush, and I hate those foam things that come with the eyeshadow.

Well well well... how wrong was I? Ok so these brushes feel amazing! They are so soft and delicate that they truly are a pleasure to use. I find that they provide amazing coverage, especially with the light shades.

There is only one con that I can think of, and that is that they don't hold much powder. I find that with the darker colors especially, I need to apply quite a few layers to get the desired effect.

Tips: Be prepared to apply quite a few layers of darker colors.

Perfect brush for blending shadows

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.

BYEBYE silly little sponge applicators!

And hello to Carousel Cosmetics Perfect eyes brushes!! I had always applied my eyeshadow with those fiddly little sponge applicators that come with the eyeshadows, or my fingers and never really saw a problem with either of them until today when I received my brushes from Beauty Vault and tried them out. I'm so amazed at how I've gone this long without finding them! So much easier to apply my eyeshadow and I find there is a bit less shadow fallout using the brushes as opposed to the sponge applicators or using my fingers. I also love how easy it is to blend two colours together seamlessly with the blender brush. They are so fluffy and easy to work with! I don't know how I have lived without these!

Carousel Cosmetics Perfect Eyes Brush Combo

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.

Cheap and cheerful!

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

Tips: Give them a wash in cold water with some baby shampoo and let them dry before you use them - this helps them to not shed any bristles. The cold water doesn't loosen the glue as warm water does and the baby shampoo keeps them soft.

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.

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 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!

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!
