I thought I'd do a review on my Coastal Scents brushes (here).


Pink Angle Taklon Liner Brush & Black Taklon Angle Liner

I've used these for filling in my brows and drawing eyeliner.
In my opinion, both work pretty the same and the thickness or angled-ness(?) don't make any difference. With these, my eyeliner is not as thin as I would like but I guess it's okay.
They're a little too small though.


White Angled Liner Brush & Synthetic Fine Liner Brush

These are good! I'm so glad I bought them. The White Angled Liner Brush is great for getting in between the lashes and makes gel eyeliners super easy. It's awesome! I highly recommend this.


Italian Badger Round Crease Brush & Pink Round Crease Eye Brush

Not much difference between these two. Both are great for getting in the crease edges. But I like the concept of the brush shape. So these are not bad.


Tapered Crease Eye Brush & Italian Badger Blender

Frankly, I can't really distinguish Tapered Crease Eye Brush from the above two round crease brushes. When I'm in a hurry, they are work the same and look pretty much the same too.
Italian Badger Blender is amazing. It blends like nobody's business and I love love love this. I'm considering getting another one the next time I order from coastalscents.


Chisel Detail Mini Brush & Pink Oval Taklon Lip Brush

I don't remember using the Chisel Detail Mini Brush at all.. Oops. But it's really too small and I don't do such great detailing. Maybe next time.
I use the lip brush everyday. I use it to apply my lipbalm pots, my lipsticks (sometimes). I only have 3 lip brushes to alternate and even though I wipe them down after every use, I still get disgusted that I'm touching a germified brush with the pot/jar/tubs/lipsticks. Ugh. I might need more?


Chisel Angle Fluff Shadow Brush, Chisel Fluff Shadow Brush & Black Deluxe Shadow

Chisel Angle Fluff Shadow Brush doesn't pack colours on so well. It doesn't blend either. I'm not liking this.
Like I mentioned, Chisel Fluff Shadow Brush is quite good and I think the size is just nice for like overall colour or highlighting.
I didn't think I would use the Black Deluxe Shadow, but I have been using it for highlighting these days and it works good.

** update on Chisel Angle Fluff Shadow Brush:
I've used it a couple of times to pack on dark colours at the outer v. Since it's usually a tiny bit of colour, it works okay. Then I'll use another brush to blend it out.

Pink Blending Fluff Brush, Black Blending Brush & Pink Oval Synthetic Concealer Brush

The blending brushes don't really cut it for me..but I only tried them once or twice. Probably will give them a second chance. However, probably since last week, I've been using them for contour! And I like it cos they are big enough but not too big.
I've been using the concealer brush every single day for my concealers and sometimes I use it with my Indelible Creme Eyeshadows. I need to get more synthetic brushes like this cos I can't bring myself to use any other brushes in my concealer or Indelible Creme Eyeshadows pots. Bleah. Plus it's easier to clean too.

** update on the blending brushes:
I'm starting to use them for blending and I guess they're quite okay. I only wish they were a tad smaller to fit better into my small lids. Lol.


Talking about cleaning, I'm considering getting the MAC Brush Cleaner for daily wipe-downs. I currently wipe off my brushes after every use with either a tissue or wet wipes. And I do separate my dirty brushes from my clean ones for fear of contamination. Lol. Unfortunately for myself, I'm quite the cleanliness freak and I can't stand dirty brushes (whether they look clean or not). Nowadays I clean my brushes in batches 2-3 times a week and that it really time consuming - cleaning and drying.

Should I just get the MAC Brush Cleaner?
