***Coastal Scents brushes - 187 dupe plus others! Great prices*** Update with review

[user79]

So today I watched EnKore's new video on these brushes:

Watch the video here

So I went to the website (Coastal Scents) and bought a few brushes there. I can't believe how cheap they are!! They have some natural bristle brushes, and some synthetic ones. And yes, they do international shipping.

They have a MAC 187 lookalike, and a MAC 134 lookalike! I bought both of those, plus a bunch of others! They have some synthetic, and some natural fiber brushes, they even have a pink kabuki brush with pink bristles! How cute.

I can't wait to get the order, just wanted to let you people know if you're looking for some cheaper alternatives. I just sent them a email before with a question, and I got a response about 5 minutes later, wow.

Has anyone else ordered from them? What did you think of their brushes?


Oh btw, their website is very slow at the moment because apparently the server is overloaded. But it's worth the wait, imo.

So excited!!

i saw his video last night and i tried going on the website, but it was taking forever to load so i closed the browser cuz it was pissing me off..

yeah it takes a bit longer to load, but i am on a very fast connection so it wasn't that bad. Maybe try back later?

PS: It might work better when you try at a time when not all the USA people are online, if that's possible. It worked relatively ok for me because of the time change. (lol - you can always order brushes at 3am, haha.)

I've ordered from them, twice. Their brushes are ok... 2 smelled so bad! My badger brush bled like no tomorrow and shed so badly. If you get the mmu dispensing brush, make sure to open it from the top instead of the bottom. The brush nor the site indicated where the opening is. After 2 bad haul experience from them, I'm never ordering again. It might be different for others, I just got lucky with a crappy batch...

Figure I'd add it, but here is a picture of it from my blog of one of their brushes. Hope this helps.

Ohhh I ordered that badger brush....it bled the color? Like everytime you washed it, or only the 1st time? How was it for using?

Well, I guess I'll see when they get here.

It bled during every wash and it dried with bleeding brush stains as well

I didn't even bother to try it on my face because every time I swiped it on my hands, I got black stains from it so I threw it out. The smell from it was also unbearable. I contacted the website owners about it. I'm hope you guys get a good batch, I haven't had much luck with them

Oh yuck!! Oh no, I hope mine doesn't do that as well...

Is it like the goat-hair smell, or eww-something-died-in-here smell?

Re: ***Coastal Scents brushes - 187 dupe plus others! Great prices***

I saw his video too! Please let us know how that 187 dupe compares to MAC's for liquid foundation! I have a 187SE and looking to upgrade to a full-size so I'm wondering how this one is first

BTW my 187se bleeds blue-black dye EVERY time I wash it and I've had it since November, and it's shed so much that it's no longer as full and dense

Mine smelled like dirty wet dog. My first purchase from them was the flat top buffer brush with black handle and it took me over a week of constant washing to get the smell out. I decided to keep it because it didn't shed like the badger did. Downfall is it took me awhile to convince myself to use it when it had the strong foul odor. I was told I might of gotten a bad batch, but twice in a row was rather disappointing and annoying on my end.

Well that's not cool.

Were they not able to refund if you sent them back the brush?

 

[user79]

Re: ***Coastal Scents brushes - 187 dupe plus others! Great prices***

Yeah apparently the brushes have a 3 month warranty, but that's not really useful for overseas buyers because shipping it back would cost more than the price of the brush. Oh well, I'm just gonna hope for the best and see how they are, I will post a review when I get it. The other reviews on the website are all positive so far so maybe you did just get a bad batch?

Re: ***Coastal Scents brushes - 187 dupe plus others! Great prices***

That's what I'm hoping. I've been eyeing those brushes since this morning too!

I'd love to read your reviews once you get them.

Re: ***Coastal Scents brushes - 187 dupe plus others! Great prices***

i saw his video this morning and and i automatically went on the website to check it out. brushes are really cheap and totally affordable.
i bought a couple of them to check them out, i figure if i have a good experience w them i figure i'll buy more.
then again im kinda scared now bc of the bleed incident /=
