Sparkled Beauty

I was browing the web last night and saw the new Lancome Deluxe Brush Set. According to the site, the set includes:
- Foundation Brush #2
- Powder Brush #1
- Precision Shadow Brush #12
- Dual Ended Brush #18, and
- Blending Shadow Brush #17.
Plus the adorable brush case. And everything is black and purple.

The price: $59.

So it's safe to say that Lancome is making a trend here with their luxurious brushes by adding colours to them, not just to their makeup products.

I remember the rave about their "Declaring Indigo" Brush Set (LE, $52) a few months back. They were great brushes, I heard, plus the added colours made them stand out from others, quite a treat to the eyes.

For comparison, Declaring Indigo set had:
- Mineral Powder Foundation Brush
- Foundation Brush #2
- Blender Brush #4
- Dual-Ended Brush (Lining and Shadow) #18
- Makeup brush case: The perfect way to carry and protect your Lancôme brushes.

So, in short, both sets have the same foundation brush #2 and dual-ended brush #18. The powder brushes look different in the pictures to me.

I'm more a fan of the blue than purple colour, but the new set does have more brushes with a few $ extra. I guess it depends on which brushes you need at the time of purchase :-)

As I didn't get the Indigo set, if you did, what do you think about it? If not, are you getting the purple set this time? I don't know whether Canada will be getting anything though :-)

On a side note for weather update, it was raining all day yesterday and into this morning. And we had a tight schedule of 2 birthday parties and swimming lession for Squirt, so I was being in the rain the whole time. No fun. Hope it's dry where you are :-)
