Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set - Review ♡

106/Powder, 102/Silk Finish, 112/Luxe Sheer Cheek, 110/Face Shape, 142/Concealer Buffer, 222/Luxe Soft Definer, 231/Luxe Petit Crease, 317/Wing Liner
After hearing so much hype from everyone everywhere about these brushes, and after wanting them for about two years, I finally bought them! :D 

I got these brushes about maybe two months ago and I've been using them every single time I've put makeup on. Not just to test them out but because I am actually obsessed with them.
I got them from the Zoeva website. The shipping and handling was great, I got them within a week I think and they came in a big box with lots of padding so there was no damage at all. The brushes themselves were all wrapped individually and they were put inside of the brown Zoeva bag that you get. The brown bag you get is really nicely sized and the material is beautiful and would be perfect if you wanted to take your brushes somewhere with you.

All the brushes in this set are absolutely gorgeous, there's 8 in the set and each one of them has a matte black handle with a stunning rose gold barrel, ugh they're so pretty. I love these not just because they look adorable on my vanity but also because they're actually such amazing quality. They're all soooo incredibly soft *drools*. They're not incredibly soft to begin with but I found that the more you use them the softer they get. I've used them heaps and washed them heaps and none of them have stained or shed.
To begin with I found that the three luxe brushes were the scratchiest, I presume it's because they're made from natural hair. But after washing them and using them they got softer and softer so I guess this set of brushes needs a bit of breaking in haha.

I think these brushes are really really reasonably priced and they look super duper stunning, and they're all really soft and just absolutely incredible quality. These have been my new favourite brushes for a while, if I could I would definitely marry them <3

PS. They're dirty in the first photo but they're brand new in the second one so you can see how they wear out and stuff. After washing them they always look brand new though! :)

Have any of you guys tried these brushes? Let me know your thoughts!

BH had a new brush set, called the Pink-a-dot brush set which includes 11 brushes, all adorned with a pink polka dot handle and a pink polka dot case. I was in need of new brushes, and also thought these were super cute, and seeing as I had never tried any BH brushes I decided to get them :)


They come in a cute pink case, kinda like one of those old pencil cases you used to have in primary school. They've got two clicky things on each side so it's PERFECT if you're travelling so you can put your brushes inside without the worry of them getting damaged 

Each brush inside comes wrapped in its own plastic cover.


The brushes themselves don't have names or anything on them other than the brand name and the polka dots. This doesn't bother me although I do think it would be quite nice if they had names on them saying what the brush does, like the Mac or Zoeva brushes do.


The brushes are all synthetic, and they are super duper soft. I was actually surprised at how soft these feel, they're probably one of the softest brushes out of my entire collection. The base of the hairs are black and the tips are a purply pink, it doesn't really show up in the picture but I swear they are coloured haha :)


The set has 11 brushes, four larger face brushes, six eye shadow brushes and one lip brush. 

I've had these brushes for a while now and I've used each one heaps and they're all super good quality and the face brushes especially are super duper soft and apply product beautifully onto my face. I've washed all of them and none of them have shed but they have stained slightly.

I think these brushes are amazing quality, and especially for a cheap brand like BH cosmetics, I was very pleasantly surprised. The case which these brushes come in is a life saver if you're travelling. I highly recommend buying these, they're amazing quality and they'll look super cute sitting on your vanity :) 


I bought mine off of beauty joint for $31, which for a case and 11 brushes is actually such good value for money!
