Hello all,
So recently I decided it was about time to get some new brushes, because lets be honest you can never have too many. But the high-end brushes I so dearly desire such as sigma and Zoeva are oh-so pricey and my poor purse can't keep up, so I hunted and hunted until I found these beauties, Ovonni.
Ovonni is a super affordable brand you can get on amazon and ebay and the set I bough was £27.99 for a set of 29 brushes, ranging from eyes to face, and a faux leather case to keep them in. Which to me, is a deal I cant help but get my brush-loving hands on. Also some of the brushes are made in the same factories as sigma brushes! (apparently)
Now, I do make sure to research next to every product I buy, online or not, and these brushes had many many good reviews on amazon and from youtube, so I was very excited to get them myself. They arrived around 4-5 days after ordering, which is good.
So, to start off with this is what the case looks like. It's just a bit smaller than an A4 piece of paper and holds all 29 brushes in little compartments. It also has a little gold keychain thing on the zip, so it's really easy to open and has a secure hold to it - perfect for travelling, however I do think it's very bulky and takes up a whole load of room.
The case itself feels very luxurious and if i needed a brush case, I would pay around £10 for just the case. Furthermore the case has 4 sides inside it (as you can see form the picture) which again holds all the brushes securely.
Next - the face brushes. Within the set there are around 15 brushes I would personally use for the face.
The picture above shows the brushes I would consider for powder products, like setting powder or blush etc. The two larger ones are the same, one just has a shorter handle, which is a bit weird but honestly I do get the use out of them both.
This next one is a simple angled brush, for contour or blush. However it took me a while to use this as it had a weird bit of gunk-like stuff in it, and was sticking some of the bristles together, but after a few mad washes and a few snips with the scissors, it was all okay! To be honest it was very annoying but some things are just too good to be true!
Anyway the brush itself is now very good!
Two of my fave brushes are two of my faves! I use the rounded one for contour and the tapered one for highlight and they work miracles! I would compare these to the sigma ones, as the tapered one is very similar to the tapered one they do.
As well as several other, the set includes 3 duo fibre brushes, a super big one, a tapered one and a smaller stippling brush. These are amazing quality (probably the best in the set) as they are sooo soft and work amazingly well with any products.
Also in the set, there is a flat foundation brush and some slightly smaller more detailed face brushes.
The set also comes with these two concealer brushes, which are again synthetic and work amazingly. I love the orange haired one for concealer however I prefer the other one for eyeshadow, as it's a tiny bit fluffier and smaller.
Next, onto the eye brushes! (heheheh my faves)
As for blending brushes, these are the best four! They all blend out product really well and distribute the perfect amount of product, also they are all different sizes for all blending needs (like in the crease, outer edge, directly on the crease and overall blending.
Also the third brush in is an IDENTICAL shape to the sigma E35, and no joke it is exactly the same.
Here is a close up of two of the brushes, just to show how different they are and how you can use them for different things. The Black one is similar to the sigma E40 and the white one has longer hairs, perfect for use of blending out other colours.
As for eye brushes, there are also some other all-over fluffy lid brushes as well as detailed liner and angled brushed. Also the set come with 2 lip brushes, all of which are super soft and fine haired, making them perfect for detailed work.
Here is a quick over-view of what I think to the brushes!
Pros:
*Super affordable
*case is amazing
*super easy to use with product eg blend the products out really well and distribute the products really well
*amazing range of brushes for all parts of yo face
*Slightly longer handle, so you have lots of control
Cons:
*Brushes shed, especially some of the eyebrushes
*loose shape when washed (i recommend brush guards, super cheap on amazon, or cling film to easily get around that.)
*Quite a lot of powder brushes, maybe a Kabuki brush would be better in replace for one of the many powder brushes
*I feel like you may need another brush for foundation (eg sponge or kabuki) in addition to the set
Overall, I do love this brush set and I deffo get the use out of all the brushes, and to say the price the quality is amazing!
I hope this post helped you in some way, shape or form and I deffo recommend these brushes if you need some newbies in your collection if you're on a budget!
