BEAUTY - Morphe X Jaclyn Hill.

When I saw that Jaclyn was launching a brush set with Morphe I was glad I had saved some of my wage to get them! The beautiful white and silver brushes and the silver glitter brush case, dreamy! I was refreshing the website and the minuet they launched I headed

straight for The Master Collection, the 24 piece brush set with the gorgeous brush case. There were some brushes in the set I knew I wasn't going to use, nevertheless the price for 24 brushes and a case was amazing and a chance to try some brushes I might never pick up.  The Master Collection is £160 (£144 with any of the 10% off discount codes beauty influencers have. I used Jaclyn's code JACATTACK) it's a £264 value, that's a £104 saving! And it works out around £6.60 a brush! If you didn't want the Master Collection there are two other sets available. The Eye Master Collection (£42) - 8 eye brushes and bag, and The Face Master Collection (£55)- 5 face brushes and bag. The Master Collection includes both of the Eye & Face Master sets and an additional 11 brushes. All the brushes are also sold separately on the Morphe website. I knew I would probably order a few on the single brushes but wanted to wait to have a play with the set so I could find out which brushes I loved and needed doubles of (I say need but it's more a want, plus I like to have several of the same brush).

Master Case.

I now really appreciate natural hair brushes since Mac changed all there brushes to synthetic. With certain brushes synthetic is fine but with blending brushes it makes them so much harder to blend with/work with. I will only ever use natural hair blending brushes, gives a flawless blend. 

The set includes quite a few blending brushes which I love because I use so many. I do think there are a few brushes missing. There's no angled brush in the set or eyeliner brush, which i'm not fussed about but it would have been nice to have. Even though I said it includes a lot of blending brushes I wish there were a few smaller blender brushes in the set as they are mainly longer/crease brushes, that is me being picky though. There are only two brushes I haven't used (JH01 & JH10) which I expected not to use a lot of the face brushes, but I've had a play with them and the brush i'm most shocked about loving is the JH02 Bronzer Brush. I don't usually use a brush that big for my bronzer but I absolutely love it! 
I'd had my set for only a few days and I knew I was going to order a few doubles. I started just by ordering 3 but there are more brushes I'd like extras of. The 3 brushes I doubled up on we're the JH39- Inner Corner Highlight brush, I would usually use a different shaped brush for my inner corner but when I tried this I love how precise it was. The JH42- Brow Bone Highlight brush, I have so many brushes just like this and I use them for all different things so i can never have too many. Lastly the JH43- Eyeliner Smudge brush, I'd never had a brush like this before. I'd seen lots of people using brushes this shape it was just a brush I wasn't fussed about but when I use it I knew I needed an extra for another use, I love it. 

Along side ordering the three extra brushes I thought I'd give the Jaclyn Hill palette a try also by Morphe. I'd heard so many things about this palette and I was late to the party 100%. I really love the palette, it was the only eyeshadow palette I used on my holiday and I've used it everyday I've done my makeup since purchasing it. It's £37 for 35 eyeshadows! (£33.30 if you use a discount code). The eyeshadow pans are around the same size as a mac palette eyeshadow refill, and they are probably more pigmented and easier to blend! The mattes are amazingly pigmented and beautiful to blend the shimmers are stunning without wetting your brush with Fix +. I would recommend it to everyone, makeup artist or for personal use, it's made me want to try more of the Morphe palettes and I'd also love to try Jaclyn's Vault collection also! 

Overall i'm so impressed with everything, the quality of the brushes, how they look, the palette and how pigmented it is. I'm defiantly going to be purchasing some more of the single brushes to add to my collection! And Morphe have a UK site now with free delivery when you spend over £20! 
I hope you have found this post useful if you were thinking of getting any of the brushes. I would recommend giving the brushes a quick clean before using them to ‘puff’ them out a little and get them to their true shape! If there's anything else you would like me to review please leave a comment on this blog post or comment under the picture of this post on my Instagram (@ellietaylorrxx) and I can hopefully get around to doing that!
