I'm going to copy and paste what I said in the Low-Buy thread here in case anyone is interested:
I was watching NikkieTutorials on YouTube the other day (I LOVE her skills) and it was her favourite's video, where she mentioned a brush line called Zoeva. She says, and I quote, "They're better than Sigma. And MAC. Yes, I said it."
Now, I don't care for the Sigma claim, as while I love the foundation brushes from them (F80 etc), I prefer my MAC's over Sigma any day.
I know a lot of people say Hakuhodo is better than MAC, and I do plan on trying them.
However, Zoeva was easy to find and very easily available for me to order in the UK and have at my fingers quicker than Hakuhodo.
So I bought 3.
They arrived *just* now and OMG.
Firstly - they ALL come in their own individual ziploc bag style. Only the quality is far greater, obviously. I'll take a photo later and input it. But I'm beyond stunned at initial presentation of them.
They are SO damn soft. SO soft. I honestly think they're softer than my MAC brushes. No joke.
I made sure to order brushes I didn't have duplicates of.
So I got a basic blush brush, as I only use the MAC 168 for blush at present and I find the Real Technique blush brush a bit too large for my face. I fear I'm going to look clownish with it.
I got a high lighting brush, which I honestly can't describe anything else like it. I don't have anything remotely similar in my collection at all.
I also picked up just a regular powder brush, as oddly enough I only have 2 of them. One being RT and the other a Sigma, which I find super scratchy so dislike using it.
From just opening and touching them - I'm beyond impressed.
Eye brushes go for £5.95 and face brushes are from £9 - £18. You can buy them at love-makeup.
