Advantages: Don't shred ~ Very soft
Disadvantages: A little bit big and clumpy brushes (but they are designed to stand up)
I had heard a lot of good things about these brushes, and with them being not being made from real hair, this pleased me also.
The Brand
*********
If you search Pixiwoo on youtube, you will find nnumerous videos from 2 sisters, name Sam & Nic; Sam is the creator behind these brushes. Considering they have a massive following online you can imagine this following has followed through into their products. She has designed the brushes herself and put a lot of impact into how she wants them to be and how to work them with makeup.
Core Collection
*************
This particular product consists of 4 key 'core/face' brushes. The pointed foundation brush I feel is too small for foundation, however it is PERFECT for under eye concealer products; as the pointed tip is ideal for getting right into the inner corner. The buffing brush is the new foundation brush for a lot of people, it's great at really blending and buffing the product into the skin. The contour brush I'm not using all the time currently as I haven't found an adequate use for it currently. They advise it to be used for contour, however I feel it's a touch too small; so I have been using this for cream blushers at the moment/ Finally the detail brush is more suited as a lip brush I would say, however I don't use lip products, so this isn't fully neccessary for me at the moment.
Price & Availability
****************
Currently these are only sold in Boots and this item from the range is £21.99. Personally I would begrudge paying these types of prices for brushes, but at the end of the day I belive that other high end brushes can be more exspensive just for one. So the fact your getting a set of 4, including a nifty travel holder is good value
Overally Opinion
**************
Overally these are great tools, they are exceptionally soft, and even once I washed them they was still as soft afterwards; and they also don't seem to shred either which is another added bonus. Also a nifty little design is that the larger brushes have a flat base which allow you to stand them up; personlly I don't like this, I'd rather they be smaller so that they fit better in my makeup bag and brush holder.
Summary: A nice product, which I would reccomend
