Let’s\u00a0be honest here, Morphe Brushes<\/a> is not one of my favorite brands. First, it’s one of these white label companies (like those I mentioned in my anti haul<\/a>) but also, they use and abuse of affiliations with “influencers<\/a>“, which just annoys me.<\/h2>\n

But\u00a0before doing a little research on the subject and having a better understanding on how all this business actually works, I was tempted by some of their brushes. With all the YouTubers always raving about the brand, it was\u00a0difficult to resist<\/strong>.
\nSo I bought some of their brushes, some from the standard range and others from the\u00a0Elite collection<\/strong>, which is a\u00a0little more high end.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t really convinced by the standard brushes. They are quite cheap, so it’s obviously appealing, but the quality is quite inconsistant.\u00a0They don’t really hold their shape after a few washes\u00a0and some of them even shred quite quickly. In short, let’s say that for the price,\u00a0you don’t want to and shouldn’t expect too much.<\/p>\n

However, and it came as a surprise for me, I absolutely love the\u00a0brushes from the Elite collection<\/strong>. But\u00a0by the time I decided to write\u00a0a review here, this collection has been discontinued. Luckily, a\u00a0few months later, Morphe launched\u00a0a new range to replace it: the Elite 2 collection<\/strong><\/a>, which is suppose to be\u00a0even better. Of course, all the affiliated influencers have already\u00a0spread the word\u00a0about this range saying that it’s better and it’s incredible and what not.
\nAs I had enjoyed the first collection\u00a0so much, I thought it might be nice to try some new brushes and also to buy a back up\u00a0of some of the brushes from\u00a0the first collection that I love, to have spare ones. (you know, just in case) (#hoarder) tongue<\/span> <\/p>\n

So let’s see if the second version of this Elite collection is better than the first one! wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

Morphe Brushes Elite 2 collection, presentation:<\/h3>\n
\"Morphe<\/a><\/div>\n

Morphe<\/strong> kept some of the\u00a0brushes from\u00a0the first collection and added new ones. so I ordered 8 brushes from the Elite 2 collection<\/strong>, and 2 were supposed to be the same as those I had from the previous Elite collection:
\n– the\u00a0E41<\/a>: a big face powder brush,
\n-the E42<\/a>: a angled bronzer brush,
\n– the E34<\/a>: a blush brush,
\n– the E3<\/a>: a medium face powder brush (I already own this one\u00a0from the previous Elite Collection),
\n– the E48<\/a>: a small powder brush I use to set my eye concealer\u00a0(it’s also the second E48 I own),
\n– the E49<\/a>: another small powder brush I use to set my eye concealer,
\n– the E13<\/a>: a shader eye makeup brush,
\n– the E36<\/a>: a pencil eye makeup brush.<\/p>\n

These are all made with brown synthetic bristles<\/strong>\u00a0(so they’re vegan and cruelty-free, obviously lol). The bristles are quite\u00a0soft (except on one of them). The handle appears\u00a0to be in black resin (I don’t think it’s wood) and the ferrule is\u00a0in metal. They look rather nice. Very classic, but nice.<\/p>\n

The prices are quite affordable<\/strong>, as always in this brand. The most expensive brush retails for $22.99 dollars (it’s the E41).<\/p>\n
