Artis Dupe Brush set under £4 | Review

Hello everyone!

I'm back with yet another beauty bargain review. I'm constantly finding amazing yet affordable products that I can't wait to share with you all! I've seen sooo many mixed reviews of the Artis dupe brushes all over YouTube that I just had to give them a go to find out for myself. On Amazon you can find these under the name of "Ularma 4Pcs/Set Toothbrush Shape Eyebrow Makeup Foundation Brush Powder Brush Kits" - bit of a mouthful but worth it, trust me! They cost me around £4 with delivery. That's like £1 per brush which is incredible in comparison to the Artis Brushes priced at around £40/50 per brush. Madness!

So here's a little view of how the brushes look. First things first: I didn't have very high expectations of this set considering the price but I was pleasantly surprised! I waited around a week for these to be delivered which is nothing to moan about in all honesty. As you can see the design of the handle is nothing special, but for the price that was to be expected. They aren't ugly - just plain and simple. Can I just jump right in and say that these brushes are so incredibly soft?! I can't even begin to describe how good they feel on my face, and they apply makeup like a dream. They make it so quick and easy to apply products it's unreal! Especially when it comes to foundation, I've never found a brush that spreads and blends so well! The handle makes it really easy to grip and take control of the brush too which I absolutely love. I don't have the Artis brushes to make a direct comparison but I know they are incredibly similar in size, shape and softness. The only huge difference from what I can see is the handle design and the extremely ridiculous price! 

The only real negative thing I have to say about this brush set is since they were so cheap they don't come with any kind of description of which each brush is for. I know this isn't necessary as it's pretty straight forward but for a beginner who might not be aware of which brushes to use where - it would definitely come in handy. One more thing I noticed too, especially with the larger face brush, the handle is pretty weak... I can't see it lasting too long as I'm fairly heavy handed. But for the price you seriously can't complain! I would recommend these to anybody and out of 5 I would give this set a high 4/5!

All in all, I am seriously shocked by how good this set was! I can't put these brushes down at the moment and I'm so glad I found them. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Also don't forget to follow and +1! My Instagram is - Sarahmua_

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Dupe | Review

Hello again,

I'm so so happy to be writing this blog post because I have finally found THE perfect dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz. I have been searching for this all my life. I do honestly love the brow wiz but £15 for an eyebrow pencil when you're a student is slightly ridiculous. Especially since they run out so quickly!! 

So I've genuinely been searching for a dupe for like, ever. I'm so picky when it comes to brow products because my brows are my pride and joy. I am especially picky on shades because I always seem to find brow products that look unnatural because they don't suit my hair colour. Tip: your eyebrows should be the shade of the darkest hair on your head. 

Please excuse the skanky nail varnish, it's coming off today! Anyway... I came across the NYX eyebrow pencil. It has a little eyebrow brush on one end and the pencil itself the other end, very similarly to the brow wiz. I got this in dark brown, the same shade I used brow wiz in, and the colour match is perfect for me!! The pencil is so thin which makes it easier to make hair like strokes so that your eyebrows look fuller yet still natural. It basically does the same job as the brow wiz does but for a third of the price! I paid £15 for the brow wiz and only £5 for the NYX eyebrow pencil for it to do exactly the same job. High end brands don't always necessarily mean high end products! So yes I am absolutely loving this eyebrow pencil right now. I won't be going back to the brow wiz after this discovery. 

The only problem I have with this dupe is that the eyebrow brush is nowhere near as good as the ABH brow wiz. But for £5 you can't go wrong!
