Marionnaud Premium Brush Collection

Hellos! Today I wanted to share my recent Marionnaud Premium Brushes haul. I did not intend to get these at all but since Marionnaud Brushes are the only available brushes on our nearby Watson’s; I have no other options but to get them. The reason why I have to get this set is because I lost my entire Virginia Wilson Brush set while travelling to my friend’s house and I urgently needed a brush set since we will be doing a makeover~
Here goes my review on the Marionnaud Premium Brushes: 1)   N5 Concealer Brush      Price: PHP  149 or $4

• Synthetic fibers- especially designed for full coverage application of under eye area and soft touch up
• The brush is great for undereye application but I would say it is too thin for spot concealing touch-ups

2)   N8 Pointed Eyeshadow Brush    Price: PHP 129 or $3

• Made of natural goat hair – designed to contour, accent and shape precisely
• The hairs is a bit short but so far it still makes eyeshadow application nice and easy ~

3)   N6 Eyeshadow Brush   Price: PHP149 or $4

• Made of natural goat hair- designed to contour, accent and shape
• So far, this blending brush is ok as it does work pretty nice when blending the eyeshadows

4)   N38 Slanted Eyeline and Eyebrow brush    Price: PHP 119 or $3

• Made of synthetic fibers- helps shape perfect eyebrows
• This is my favorite brush of all set as both ends functions well enough

5)   N11 Fan brush   Price: PHP199 or $5

• Made of raccoon bristle- for vivid cheek color application, or soft blending and dusting of excess loose powders
• I have to say this is my least favorite as the hairs are so scratchy and flimsey! I purchase this planning to use it as contouring but sadly it doesn’t work at all >_< plus it shredded on my initial wash!

Overall Reviews of the Marionnaud Premium Collection Brush:

• If I would rank this set, I would probably rate it as 7 out of 10 as they really need to improve the density (prevent constant shredding) and the texture of the hairs~
• I’ve tried Marionnaud Blush and Kabuki brushes before and I was so disappointed because the hairs are super scratchy and it takes forever to dry >_<
• However, there are three things I did find myself loving these brushes:

1)    The way the brushes are design- looking really sleek and high-end! Plus I love rubbery velvet brush handles (I can say it is water-proof!) 2)   The ferrule attached to the handle and brush head is super sturdy (the glue they use to attach is definitely way better than eco-tools and sigma!) 3)    The price range is considerably affordable compared to other locally available brushes (Charm, Suesh, Ellana etc) I’ve been wanting to get my hands on Sonia Kashuk and Real Technique Brushes soon~ Any suggestion which brush I should get first from either brands?
Thanks for dropping by ^_~
