Review: Crownbrush

It's review time! I am such a product junkie its quite ridiculous! However I am always on the hunt for great products that do not break the bank. In saying that, a few months ago I stumbled across www.crownbrush.com . Not only are they quality, the site offers an extensive selection of inexpensive brushes. The photo above is my most recent order of brushes. From left to right, mini fiber brush, dome powder/contour brush, pro blending brush, and the last two are the blending fluff. The reason I love these brushes so much is because of the PRICE, in addition the hairs are extremely soft and so far all of my brushes have proven to be durable. The fiber brush is a dupe for the MAC 109, The pr blending brush is similar to the MAC 217 and the blending fluff (I own 6 of these) is a dupe for the beloved MAC 217. All together including shipping and tax this order pictured above cost me $33 what a STEAL!
