DOCOLOR FANTASY BRUSH SET REVIEW
Hello lovelies!
Sorry for being a little inactive, but I honestly don't know why I didn't post anything in a while. But I hope I'll make it up to you guys.
This time I wanted to share with you my recent purchase from a brand called DOCOLOR. It's a Chinese company producing makeup brushes and when I saw how the Fantasy set looked, I just had to buy it and try it out. I ordered it from their website on August 1, and it came in on August 28, which is nearly a month. (They are also available on amazon I think, so you can definitely buy them there as well.) But was it worth it? I asked myself this question a few times while waiting for them, because when I clicked the BUY button on their website and an email came from them with all the information needed, I sent them the amount of money and I waited. The next day after I sent them the money my order was still in pending state. I was shocked because they said that once you had paid for it they will immediately process the order. And all I got was an email asking if I paid for the order and if not, that they will cancel my order. I was scared at first, because what if they cancelled my order and took my money with them?! So I answered that email and said that I had already sent them the money. So they sent me an email back saying that they had not received my transaction. And i was thrilled. I was so angry, mostly because it was I think 4 days after i ordered it. So I got an email with a document with the information they needed. I filled it in and sent them the filled in document. And the email I got then was that they are sorry, but hey didn't receive any information from me, probably because they hadn't opened the document... So I copied everything from the document to an email and sent it to them. They informed me that they still hadn't received my payment. I wanted to kick off their heads for this, because nearly after 1 and half weeks they didn't have the money. And after two weeks I got an email saying that they had finally received the payment! I was happy and angry af at the same time, but now I was just waiting for the brushes to arrive. I got them about two weeks later after receiving that email. So I finally was able to unpack them and try them out.
The packaging was this kinda rainbowy box in which was a plastic bag with the brushes and each brush was packed individually. The bigger ones had also a protective net on the bristles.
The brush set contains 16 brushes:
powder brush
angled blush brush
highlight brush
contour brush
flat kabuki brush
smoky brush
blending eyeshadow brush
angled eyeshadow brush
concealer brush
flat definer brush
2 packing eyeshadow brushes
angled eyeliner brush
lip liner brush
lip brush

The brushed themselves are made of synthetic hairs and are super soft, they feel like heaven on your face. (WTF... How does a heaven feel on your face?) The bristles are just enough stiff and aren't too flimsy, although some of the brushes could have been a little denser in my opinion, for example the highlighting brush or powder brush. But overall they are okay. For it being a set of 16 brushes that cost 13€, you just cannot complain. If you are a beginner in makeup and don't want to spend a lot of money on brushes, then picking these is a good option I think, because you get nearly all the brushes you need to create a flawless look. By nearly all the brushes you need I mean, that I miss two brushes here. And that are big blending brush, it would be nice to have one there and the second being a buffing brush for liquid foundation or mineral powder.
If I had to choose one brush that I like the most and one I like the least, the one I like the most would probably be the contour brush because of its angled shape and perfect size to fit in the contours on your face. And the one I like the least is the flat kabuki brush. I tried to apply a liquid foundation with it and it didn't leave my skin looking streaky, but it did leave my skin with no product on because it soaked up everything. That's why I am on a hunt for a good brush to apply my liquid foundation with. If you have any recommendations, please leave them in the comments section, I will really appreciate it! :)
Overall these brushes are a good quality, I just miss some in the set. That's how I would describe it in a one sentence. :D
So that's about it! I hope you found my review helpful and if you purchase this set I hope you'll feel the same as I did :)
Have a lovely day/night wherever in the world you are! :)
