Spectrum Collections brush set is one to add to the wish list

Makeup brush sets are an ideal gift for any beauty lover. And we've found a gorgeous one from Spectrum Collections to hint, hint about this Christmas.

It's rare that we'd splurge on a makeup brush set for ourselves. After all, they can be quite pricey. But when there's a special occasion on the horizon, like say... a birthday or Christmas, there's no harm in at least looking, right? Well, that's what we tell ourselves anyway. Besides, it's research *cough cough*.

12 Piece Siren Brush Set £89.99 via Cultbeauty.co.uk

So imagine our joy when we happened upon this gorgeous makeup brush set over on Cultbeauty.co.uk. It caught our eye immediately. It's from Spectrum Collections and is called the 12 Piece Siren Collection (hence the pretty shell detailing on the accompanying brush roll). In the £89.99 set, you'll find 12 brushes for face, lips and eyes with a multi-faceted, holographic finish.  As they're synthetic hair, each can be used for cream, liquid or powder products.

For those who aren't familiar with Spectrum Brushes here's the skinny - they're a cruelty-free and vegan-friendly brand from the UK (but you can find out more about their story via their website). As you can imagine, with pretty Mermaid and unicorn-inspired designs, the brushes are incredibly popular with bloggers and Instagram addicts alike. Thankfully it isn't a case of style over substance though. They're good quality and will last well if you look after them.

Now, you'll have to excuse me while I get back to more "research".
