Obsessed: Morphe Copper Dreams Brush Set

Ugh, they are just so beautiful. I actually felt bad when I first used them because I didn’t want to get them dirty. But then I snapped out of it and remembered what I bought them for. I only had a couple of Morphe brushes before purchasing these, they are pretty affordable and I really like how they work, so when I saw theeeese beauties I knew I had to get them. Had to.

There are 12 brushed in total, 5 face brushes and 7 smaller brushes, which come in this handy copper coloured container. Great value for the price. When I first opened the container the smell was quite overwhelming, a very strong scent like paint stripper. It did make me wonder what these brushes were made of but after a while the smell did fade which I’m happy about.

They feel so soft to the touch and apply make up beautifully. I see so many bloggers and Youtubers rave about these brushes and I was beginning to see why. I used the eye brushes to create a natural smoky eye and they blended the eyeshadow so well I was really pleased with the result. My oooooonly gripe with these brushes, or one brush in particular, was that the angled liner brush was actually quite fluffy which isn’t really ideal to create a sharp cat eye flick. To be honest thats the only reason I used angled liner brushes so it makes it quite usless to be honest. That being said, I really liked the others and for the price I would still recommend these. It’s great that companies are producing good quality products for a decent price.

I bought these from the official Morphe website and they cost $36 (around £29). There are UK websites that stock Morphe brushes but the Copper Dreams set was only available on their website. I did get 10% using Youtuber NikkieTutorials' discount code (thanks girl) however shipping cost me a whopping $22.25 (around £18). I was a bit taken aback by that price but then I thought, the brush set was actually pretty cheap and basically I was spending around $58 for the set; which was still cheaper than other brands who stock in the UK. Overall it took about a week to be delivered. What I was not expecting a couple of weeks after I received them in the post, was getting a letter from Fedex about a Duty & Tax charge of £18. It didn’t state anywhere on the website to expect this (not that I saw anyway) which was annoying, especially after I’d already used them so I had no option but to pay this charge. Because of this, I’ll probably stick to ordering them off a UK website.
