Lime Crime Makeup Brushes: Aquarium set review

The first thing you notice right away when you pick any of those aquarium brushes is that aquarium handle with water and lots of shaped glitter inside. So, we definitely wanted to play with the kit. The Aquarium brush kit contains 7 brushes for the major applications and a glitter clutch with a snap. Here is the list of brushes you are getting in the kit:

• Powder brush;
• Fan brush (for highlighter application);
• Blush brush;
• Lip brush;

• A bonus – transparent glitter pouch.

Aquarium Set Brushes: Overview & Performance

After testing this brush set we can say, that the overall impression is good, yet not excellent. They do their job, yet they are not as precise as the other similar cruelty-free brushes. They are softer, than we thought they were going to be, so they do not pick up the right amount product. Though, they are not too soft and blend powder products, such as eye shadows and sculpting powder well. We like the way the fan brush performed. Yet, with the Lime Crime the foundation brush, we found it difficult to blend foundation to create that even finish. So if you are looking for a brush set to work with every day, you should look for the different solution. Yet, if you want a cute set that you will use from time to time, this Lime Crime kit is the way to go.
