Crown Brush 523 Purple HD Brush Set Review

Crown Brush 523 Purple HD Brush Set Review

Everything in this post, but all opinions are my own.

And here we have the last review from my Crown Brush haul. Today’s post features the 523 Purple HD Brush Set which also includes tweezers. Coloured brushes seem to be really on trend lately with all types of brushes popping up all over the place. These are extremely gorgeous, and I love the soft purple.

This is Crown Brush 523 Purple HD Brush Set Review.

First Impressions

I was very excited to try these, as I think they could be the softest brushes I have ever owned. However, when I came use them I found they were too soft. The nylon bristles shoot out in different directions which meant I couldn’t be precise with any application. As everything would end up all over the place.

Finding a Favourite

I kept using them, and in the end I found one that I love. That is the chisel shadow brush, and I love that it’s a little bit more dense than the other brushes in the collection. I’ve also enjoyed the crease blender. It seems like their eyeshadow brushes are a lot better than the others.

And a Least Favourite…

Even though I had such a positive experience with the eyeshadow brushes, I found myself really struggling with the pro powder brush. It is way too soft, and not as dense as my other powder brushes in my collection. I find it harder to apply powder with it, and don’t reach for it a lot of the time.

The Packaging

They arrive beautifully packaged, in a pretty purple patent case. It’s slim and easy to take out and about. I also love how there is a mirror in the case.

The brushes themselves have purple handles and their a soft lilac at the tip of the brush. I think it’s such a cute design and I love how the bristles match the handles.

In the Set:

  • One X Pro Powder Brush
  • 1 X Tapered Blush
  • One X Deluxe Contour
  • 1 X Chisel Shadow
  • One X Crease Blender
  • 1 X Detail Liner
  • One X Mirror
  • 1 X Purple Tweezers
  • One X Purple Patent Case

Overall

These are cute brushes, and I love the eyeshadow brushes. I just can’t get behind the other ones, they’re too soft for my liking. I’m sure these would be perfect for a lot of people, but not for me.

That was my Crown Brush 523 Purple HD Brush Set Review.

Have you tried any brushes from Crown Brush?

Thank you for reading!

    These brushes look stunning! I’ve seen so many people review more colourful brushes and even though that’s amazing, I’m still in love with my simple brushes. Maybe try the big fluffy brush for setting your face with loose powder or if you ever want to bronze your body. I have one and it’s great for making sure I don’t get a white cast over my face while using loose powders xx Nikita

      They are really pretty! Colourful brushes seem to be taking over at the moment, but simple are great too. That’s a great idea, thank you for that, I’ll be sure to try that out xx

    The lilac colour on the handles and in the bristles of these brushes are gorgeous! I’ve never seen any brushes like this before. You never know, you may end up loving all of the brushes after using them for a while xx

    I’ve heard so many good things about the Crown Brushes, just haven’t had the chance to test them out yet!
    These look so pretty. Obviously you’re going to have some favourites out of the set, it’s hard to find brush sets that you will like every single brush of. Glad you do like the eyeshadow ones, then!

    These are so beautiful! I’m always a bit skeptical about pretty brushes though haha I think “can they actually be both pretty and provide good quality application?”

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵
Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️
