I don’t know about you but I was so excited to see Morphe Brushes come
to one of my favourite sites BeautyBay! I've seen them crop up in a few different
YouTube tutorials and they seem to be so pigmented and good quality that when I
saw the prices I knew I would have to try them for myself!
Generally speaking, I’m a fan of matte neutral shades so the Morphe Brushes 35N 35 Colour Matte Palette (£15.95) is right up my alley! The size of the palette does remind me of those
giant ones you would ask for at Christmas and practically have to dig into to
get any colour payoff but thankfully this isn't anything like that! The shadows
are so pigmented and don’t kick up too much dust when you put your brush in
them! I haven’t noticed any creasing with these either and they stay as vibrant
from when I put them on in the morning to when I take them off at night! The packaging
is sturdy but there is no mirror which doesn’t bother me as I never use the
mirrors in palettes anyway! The only negative I would say is that there are obviously
a lot of shades I won’t use in there but at £15.95 for the entire palette it doesn’t
worry me too much!

The first column as you will see from the pictures of the palette and the
swatches are very light mattes that could be used as a base colour or matte
highlight. The palette then moves into a few warmer shades with oranges and
pinks which won’t get a lot of use from me but I can imagine people who are a
bit more daring with their makeup using these! The palette then moves into the
darker colours and a few purple shades which I can’t wait to use in a smoky
eye! I have mainly been using this in the daytime with the browns in the last
two columns along with the black shade in the very top corner as a shadow liner! Pigmentation
varies a little through the palette with the most noticeable shades for me being
the grey/black beneath the corner black and the grey at the top of the third column, I can’t get very much payoff from those at all but the rest have a really lovely smooth feel to them!
I also picked up a couple of brushes to try out. As you can never have
too many blending brushes I got the M330 Blending Crease Brush (£4.75). The
bristles are slightly longer than I’m used to which makes it a little bendier
than my other blending brushes but nonetheless it’s soft and I like it! Probably the one brush I’m missing in my collection is a fan brush so I
also ordered the B8 Badger Deluxe Fan Brush (£4.75). Again this is really soft
and I’m enjoying applying highlighter with it as an extra step in my routine! I couldn’t find anywhere that stated Morphe Brushes were cruelty free
so I sent them an email asking and they replied with “we work with many
different factors that purchase their bristle from suppliers that are certified
cruelty free”.
My order was dispatched really quickly and arrived a few days later
packaged really well! Beauty Bay also have free delivery on orders over £15!
I definitely want to try a few more things from Morphe especially more
of their brushes and some other palettes like the blush one! Do you have any recommendations?
Have you bought anything from a brand you haven’t tried before recently?
