Carmen Claire Brush Collection

Hello guys... such a very hot weather!!! Summer is here na talaga...

Today, I wanna share another set of brushes which I purchased last December 2014. Carmen Claire Brush Collection - P715.00 but I got it on sale for P517.99 due to a faint scratch on the mirror.
About the brushes: Carmen Claire website
A classic design, quilted all around, just like your favorite evening clutch. Subtle and sexy, it's a beauty secret like no other. Six must-have brushes, for touch ups and makeup looks on the go.
Smaller in size but not in performance. Inside is a beautiful oval mirror, something you won't find in any other brush set. Large enough to get the job done, but still wonderfully elegant.
Each luxurious brush set contains: Powder Brush, white goat hair Angled Blush Brush, white goat hair Blending Brush, white goat hair Eyeshadow Brush, ox tail hair Angled Liner Brush, synthetic hair Brow and Lash Comb.
Enclosed in a brush guards...

The brushes are just medium in sizes, not too small and not too big that can occupy a big space on your kit.
Closer look with the brushes...
Powder Brush - made of white goat hair...very soft and fluffy!!! I've used this in applying my Pressed Powders.
Angled Blush Brush - made of white goat hair...it's soft and just the perfect size, this one is a favorite of mine.. among the brushes it's the most used and abused brush!!
Eyeshadow Brush - made of ox tail hair... it's soft, dense and great for overall eyelid application...
Blending Brush - made of white goat hair.. it's soft, small and fluffy.. it blends my eyeshadows well... 
Brow and Lash Comb - it's the least usable one... the brow comb is so stiff!!! and I prefer to use a spoolie than a comb..
Angled Liner Brush - made of synthetic hair... I haven't use this one as a liner brush but used it instead to fill-in my brows.

What I like about the product:
- very easy to use and picks up product very well
- convenient to bring since it comes in a quilted pouch
- has a built in mirror
- bristles are soft and fluffy (face brushes)
- affordable price (you get 6 essential brushes)

What I don't like about the product:
- face brushes shed while using it for the first time and sheds more after washing
- bristles turned spongy "buhaghag" after washing

Will I repurchase?
No... I want to try other brands! I still prefer my Real Techniques Mini Brush Trio over this one.. Do check out my post here.

Till my next post!

too stiff for an eyeliner brush, but it does ah-mazing job on filling-in brows. - See more at: http://kimpossiblygorgeous.com/post/36135534308/posh-taste-carmen-claire-brush-collection-review#sthash.BJ3hDHsx.dpuf
