As a makeup artist, I buy a lot of makeup brushes. Normally i used those luxury ones on my client and work, and most of the time i use inexpensive brushes for myself. Because i can buy a lot more. Like if this brush is dirty, then I'll just grab another one, and don't need to wash them so often.
Received these lovely brushes from Loveybelle before Xmas. Here I have to say, I'm very sorry for the late review because i was very busy from Xmas, New Year to Anniversary and soon my birthday! (too bad, one year older again) But i really wanna write a detail and honest review, so it took me a while......
因化妝工作既關係，我買左好多化妝掃。通常幫客人化都會用。一D比較靚嘅掃，但自己平時就多用D平嘅掃。D掃平，可以買多幾支，尤其是化唔同顏色既眼妝，我可以分好多支掃，亦唔駛洗掃洗得咁頻密。
其實聖誕節之前已經收到Loveybelle寄黎既化妝掃。亦想喺呢度講聲sorry，因為太忙嘅關係，呢個review覺實拖左好耐。有由聖誕開始又到新年，再到周年紀念仲有我生日，真係冇停過。但又唔想求其交功課，所以都用左一段時間去寫......
Anyway, let me first include some info about Loveybell.com. It is is a Singapore based online shop, selling makeup brushes and tools like sponges, brush guards, brush cases, etc.
So i was sent a set of their best selling item. It was US$277.78 but it's now on sale so its US$109.52.
好喇，先講下 Loveybell.com嘅資料先啦。佢地係一個新加坡既online shop，有賣佢地自家既化妝掃，化妝用品例如化妝棉，化妝掃套，化妝袋等等。佢地寄比我嘅佢地嘅best seller套裝。本來US$277.78而家特價所以係US$109.52。太概係HK$820左右。
There are 12 brushes in the case (from left to right)
掃袋入面有12支掃 ， 包括以下: (由左至右)
Buffer Brush - Synthetic Taklon Hair
Loose Powder Brush - Synthetic Taklon Hair
Angled Blusher Brush - Synthetic Taklon Hair
Tapered Brush - Goat Hair
Angled Foundation Brush - Synthetic Hair
Foundation / concealer Brush - Synthetic Hair
Flat Eye Shadow Brush - Goat Hair
Tapered Eye Blending Brush - Synthetic Taklon Hair
Dual Eye Shadow & Socket Eye Shadow Brush - Goat Hair
Small Contour Brush - Synthetic Taklon Hair
Eye Liner/ Eye Shadow Brush - Synthetic Hair
Lip Liner Brush - Synthetic Hair
1) Angled Blusher Brush - First I'm gonna start with this Angled Foundation Brush. This made from Synthetic Hair. I think the bristles of this brush is a little stiff, and i wish it could be a little bigger so i can blend out the foundation faster and more evenly.
1) Angled Blusher Brush -.首先我會由呢支斜角粉底掃開始講起。佢係一支纖維掃，我覺得掃毛有D硬同埋支掃好似太細，如果大D掃毛軟D應該可以blend粉底blend得均勻D。
2) Buffer Brush - Although the Angled Foundation Brush didn't blend so well on the face, we have this Buffer Brush to buff in the foundation. This is surprisingly soft and fluffy, i just have to press very lightly on my face. You can use this to apply powder/ mineral powder too, but personally i prefer to use it for buffing foundation to create a flawless look.
2) Buffer Brush - 第一支粉底掃blend得唔係好均勻，呢支buffer brush就最好用黎blend同掃走多餘既粉。呢支掃嘅掃毛係出奇地軟同滑，我只係雖要好輕力掃已經好貼面。除左用黎blend粉底之外，亦可用黎搽碎粉/ 礦物粉。我自己就鍾意用黎buff粉底，搽完粉底再貼D。
i took a pic to show how delicate and fluffy this brush is
掃毛好幼細，感覺唔似人做纖維
3) Loose Powder Brush - Same as the buffer brush, also made from taklon hair. Almost forgot it's synthetic hair, very soft and fluffy, will be perfect if the brush head size go slightly bigger.
3) Loose Powder Brush -同上面支buffer brush都係用一樣既毛。感覺真係唔覺得係纖維，好軟，如果支掃個掃頭再大D就perfect喇。
4) Angled Blusher Brush - Love this blusher brush too. Although it doesn't pick up as much product as animal hair brushes, but for its price, it's very good indeed.
4) Angled Blusher Brush - 呢支胭脂掃亦唔錯。雖然纖維掃比動物毛掃黏得少D粉，但呢個價錢黎講真係唔錯，至少唔會"吉"面。
5) Tapered Brush - I use this for contouring and highlighting because the shape of this brush is very suitable. It is very dense, larger and rounder than the Sigma F25 taper brush.
5) Tapered Brush - 呢支掃嘅型狀好適合用黎做陰影或highlight。佢係山羊毛製，掃毛好軟亦好密，比Sigma嘅F25號掃大支D個頭圓D。
See how dense it is!
D毛毛確實好密架!
6) Foundation / concealer Brush - I found the foundation brush here is a bit useless, as they already included angled foundation brush, but some people might like to use a flat brush for foundation. Also it can be use to conceal a larger area as the concealer brush is quite small. But i personally would prefer a medium size of cream brush maybe?
6) Foundation / concealer Brush - 我覺得呢支平既粉底掃有點多餘，因為之前已有一支粉底掃，但可能有D人比較鍾意用平嘅粉底掃啦。咁其實都可以用黎搽大範圍嘅遮瑕，因為令一邊嘅遮瑕掃掃頭好細。但個人黎講，係咪配一支中型cream狀眼影掃仲好D呢??
7) Flat Eye Shadow Brush - This is similar to MAC 217/ Sigma E25, but with shorter, denser hair. I use this to apply larger area or eyeshadow blending.
7) Flat Eye Shadow Brush - 呢支掃同MAC 217/ Sigma E25好似，但係短D密D。我用佢黎搽大範圍嘅眼影或blending。
8) Dual Eye Shadow & Socket Eye Shadow Brush - The larger brush is similar to the flat eyeshadow brush. And the smaller side is similar to the Sigma E30 pencil brush, it picks up product quite well, as you can see below, i got some eyeshadow leftover there. The only problem with this brush is, it's quite hard to put it back in the makeup case because of the double ends. It took me so long to put on the brush guard without messing up the hair too. So i think it would be better if they include a clear plastic cap in the future, that would be much more convenient.
8) Dual Eye Shadow & Socket Eye Shadow Brush - 大D嗰面同flat eyeshadow brush好似。而細D嗰面就似Sigma E30 pencil brush，用黎搽眼影幾上色，下面幅相可見我用完之後有眼影殘留。唯一呢支掃既唔好處就係太難放返入個case! 用掃套的話都要搞好耐因為都唔知由邊邊入，又怕整亂D掃毛。其實我建議佢地是但一邊加個膠掃蓋會好D，會方便好多。
9) Tapered Eye Blending Brush - This is similar to the Sigma E45. Good for blending color along the crease. The bristles will fluff out so you'd need a brush guard if you want it to stay pointy.
9) Tapered Eye Blending Brush - 呢支同 Sigma E45有D似，用黎做眼窩blending最好。掃毛用多幾次會鬆開，最好用brush guard套住。
10) Small Contour Brush - This brush is perfect for nose contouring.
10) Small Contour Brush - 呢支用黎掃鼻影最好!
11) Eye Liner/ Eye Shadow Brush - I think this is a bit too big and not defined enough for eyeliner. Perhaps can use it to blend eyeliner, but since i use liquid eyeliner, so i use it to fill in my eyebrows.
11) Eye Liner/ Eye Shadow Brush - 對唔住都要講，呢支掃用黎畫眼線的話未免太大了，如果用黎blend開眼線就冇問題。但由於我用液體眼線筆多，呢支掃我會用黎畫眉。
12) Lip Liner Brush - It's a thin brush, a little stiff, but because of it's stiffness, i can draw shape lip outline. Personally i prefer square headed than round headed for lips, but this one is ok.
12) Lip Liner Brush - 呢支唇掃好薄，有D硬，但就因為有些少硬度所以有可以畫到幾sharp嘅線。個人比較起款平腳嘅唇掃，但係呢支都ok。
Brush guards
They also sent me these brush guards, and i love them!! I clean my brushes quite often, and sometimes some of them will become very messy after a few wash. Now I can keep them in good shape with these brush guards. They came in different sizes.
除左一Set好可愛嘅之外，佢地亦都send左D brush guards比我，實在太有用喇! 我成日洗掃，但有D掃帶出outjob用完洗完之後D毛會亂晒。咁有左呢D brush guards，我洗完就可以套出佢地，令到個掃型靚返。仲有唔同sizes for唔同掃。
Very easy to use, just tuck it in at the back of the brush.
其實就係有尾向掃頭套落去，好易用。
So this is my trial and review of the Loveybelle Eclipse Range Brushes. They are not perfect but for its price i think they are very good. I love the face brushes the most. And comparing to the Sigma Premium Kit i bought before, this one has a prettier case, Sigma one was huge, not portable. Therefore, i think this set is good and suitable for traveling, and the brush guards can keep them very neat.
You can get them all from http://loveybelle.com/
今次Loveybelle Eclipse Range Brushes嘅試用分享大概係咁。佢地唔係完美，但係以呢個價錢黎講我覺得佢地已經好好。最鍾意係佢地幾支既face brushes。而比交較我之前買落嘅Sigma Premium Kit，Loveybelle個case靚好多，Sigma嗰個太大了，帶唔到出去。所以呢一set更加適合旅行用，而D brush guards就令佢地再整齊D。
以上所有可以喺 http://loveybelle.com/ 買到。
