Morphe

A friend of mine placed an order to morphe brushes and when she posted a picture on Facebook I was intrigued about this brand. I like testing new things and finding things that work and if they are cheaper the better. So as I was talking to a friend I found out morphe brushes has a location in Burbank. The next day I dragged my husband there with me to see what they were all about. The location is small and the majority of products are brushes. They have sets and lots of single brushes at a reasonable price. To me they are compared to crown brush. They did have some palettes of eyeshadows, blushes, powder etc.
I decided to get a z palette, 16 eyeshadows, and 7 brushes. I was so excited to start playing with all my stuff. So now are these worth it? Let's begin with brushes. I bought two face brushes. One a flat top brush and the other like a dome duo brush. Now the flat top brush is very dense and to me it lacks a bit of movement. Its a bit hard to work with. I used it with my foundation. The other brush I also used for foundation and it was very soft and applied well but it was very large for some places like under the eyes. Overall not bad and they were both under 15 dollars.
Now the eye brushes. They all worked well but my favorite one had a down side. When I wiped off the product It smelled really bad. Like wet dog. Sucks because I did love it.
And they eyeshadows. I heard these were 2 dollars and with all the excitement I didn't even check my receipt. I get home and they charged me all of my 16 eyeshadows were charged at 4 dollars!!! Luckily I emailed morphe and they gave my money back. So the eyeshadows are same size as Mac and they are pigmented. The color variety was not that big in the store. The colors are a bit hard to blend and some of them fade super bad. The colors go on nice but once you begin to blend they fade. In the picture the first two rows and the first two of the third row are all morphe cosmetics. Overall the brand is ok. Not something I would purchase from all the time. Maybe just brushes but that is all.
