Hey everyone!
I went to my Artistry representative just recently and I bought a new set of brushes, some eyeshadows, and ordered a few other products that I can't wait to show you guys and review.
Also, I decided to change my view on the magnetic makeup case so I wrote about that a bit more here again (click here for the full review of the case, I have decided to keep it as is)
Hope you enjoy the review!
-hugs and smiles-

P.S. Like the domo pillow I used as a background for the brushes?
Haha.

Artistry Makeup Brushes
What it is: Set of brushes
Price: USD $59
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥
The set consists of a powder, blush, eyeshadow, lash/brow, eye contour, eyeliner, and lip brush.
It comes in a black case.
 |
| Examining the stitches of the case, it was uneven and messed up in many parts |
I do not like the case what so ever.
It takes ages try to get the magnetic clasps to close, and the design and way it was made is just disgusting to my eyes.
I will be buying a new case for the set because the case failed to impress me.
Here is the inside of the case with the brushes inside:

But this review isn't about the case, it is about the brushes, so here we go!
Powder Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥
For powder, I don't really use the Artistry powder blush much.
Reason being is I like a great, ultra soft kabuki brush for powder such as mineral powder, hard pressed powders, and a few other powders.
However, if you're going to be doing contouring, you might want to look at this brush.
It is a good brush, and it is soft.
The bristles are a bit too long for me personally to my liking, and if you brush it side to side instead of sweeping it, the bristles are kind of scraggly?
Otherwise, a nice brush.
Blush Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥
The blush brush and I have quite a history together....
My old brush I have used for the past 2-4 years, and it has served me well.
I compared the two together, and noticed a few differences.
 |
| Sorry for terrible picture quality |
I only compared the current blush brush to the old one because I don't feel like reviewing the old brushes......
The older blush brush had a slightly more dome shaped with the bristles, it fans out slightly more, the bristles are slightly shorter in length to the new brush, and the handle is slightly longer.
However what I do love about the new brush is that the handle is slightly shorter, so more control, the handle is more of a golden color than the old plain wood color, and it is very soft in all directions.
I think I will enjoy this new brush very well as I did with the older version.
Eyeshadow Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥
The brush seems to pick up a moderate amount of eyeshadow, but not too much which I like.
I'll most likely use this for my shimmer shadows that I typically layer over eyeshadows.
The bristles are very soft, but firm so you have control.
I would recommend to use this brush for base colors or if you are sweeping it across your entire eyelids due to the width of the brush.
I personally will be using this often but not as much as the contouring brush due to how I put on eyeshadows (I use only on the lower half of my eyelids due to my eye shape)
Eyebrow/Lash Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥♥
I like to have a nice lash brush around that I can shape and bend for my eye shape.
I personally use lash brushes as a mascara wand and clean them after, but I know quite a few people just use it as an actual brush to separate eyelashes or use one to groom brows.
I don't groom my brows personally with a brush because I cut them in such a way they're short enough to not be groomed so... here is more of a mascara want point of view of the brush.
When I am in a rush, I will use a lash brush due to the precision of it if you can bend the actual brush part.
Mascara wands that come with the mascaras are terrible in many cases personally because they're typically straight, non bendable, and due to my eyeshape, the wand always hits my nose at one point often if I am rushing
I like this brush because I can bend it, and just in one single sweep, get all my lashes and go.
I also use this brush to apply lash conditioner, or separate my lashes after applying mascara.
It's a neat product, the handle is long so no need to worry about anything touching your face, and I personally love this product.
Eye Contour Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥♥
Possibly my favorite brush from the entire set, the width of the brush is small enough for me to apply eyeshadow in a single stroke and go off to wherever I need to go.
I do not like to wash my eyelids with color, thus, I like more precision and blending when it comes to eyeshadows.
The brush picks up a ton of color, so don't get too much, haha.
After you brush the color onto your lids as you wish, you can blend it out.
However, I also do use this brush for the occasional contouring (as the original intention of the brush) on the nose.
The brush is soft enough but firm for solid control.
I like the brush, and I do recommend it.
I just wish they sold it by itself, I'd buy so many, haha.
Eye Liner/Brow Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥
Brow wise, it's nice for precision and filling it.
As an eyeliner, it is more on the thicker side.
I can make thin and thick lines with the brush, and it is very soft on the eyes.
I like this brush as an overall brush.
Lip Brush
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥♥
It is an ultra, thin, soft brush.
I do like this brush (is it funny that the last 4 brushes of the set are my favorite?) for good reasons.
It is very easy to apply color on the lips and it makes precise lines.
It's very firm so it will not bend and screw up your lipstick at the worst place and time.
I like how you can decide to use the cap as an extension to the brush or just use the brush.
The bullet shape caught my eye fairly quickly.
 |
| Bullet much? :) It is nice, compact, and easy to take around and just drop in your purse or pocket. |
Great product.
Overall, the brush set is nice.
Is it worth the USD $59?
Well, considering the price of a good brush these days ($10-30) and adding it up, I personally think this is a nice set of brushes for an overall low price than buying them separately.
However some of the brushes I would gladly buy separately.
Besides a few minor faults, I find this is a wonderful set of brushes that you can use for many years if you keep good care of them.
Artistry Colour Palette
Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥♥♥
I know, I know.
I've already covered this product.
And most of the facts are still true in my opinion from my old review.
However I would like to say I have a turning point in this product.
I recently bought 2 new eyeshadows and ordered a few other things.
The colors you order directly from Artistry hold on very well to the case, and it is a very strong hold.
I tapped it and literally punched the back of my case and the eyeshadows did not fall out.
I have to say, I love this magnetic case now.

| If you want to know the eyeshadow shades, feel free to just comment. |
I literally super glued those on now =_=
Makes me angry I had to do that still.
Also, you can only pretty much put in Artistry colors/colors from other companies with thick metal backings or it will not stick.
Otherwise.... it is definitely worth the price!
