I ordered this set with the blush palette (the jury's still out on that one. I hope to have a decent review soon.) However, when I got my box, I was nervous that they had forgotten my brush set. I couldn't find it in all the padding and tissue paper. I was about to be fired up!!
Take a look: (They are freshly washed and not dry.)
7 piece set: powder, blush, crease, angle, concealer/lip, shadow and spoolie brushes
Now. what shocked me the most and the reason I thought they were forgotten about is because when they say MINI, they mean MINI! Look at the brushes in comparison with my full sized MAC #224 brush. I didn't expect them to be big, just bigger than what they are.
Here they are in their cute little pouch!
The pouch even has a cute little zipper pocket.
It's a nice size especially to have a powder, blush and other brushes included!
Front snap
Compared to a deck of cards (hey they always compare cell phones to a deck of cards, LOL)
Check the width on these babies.
When I saw how small the brushes were, I thought it was a joke. I was actually a little saddened. Then, my frown turned into a smile! I love that it's so small. Unlike MAC brush sets and other larger sets, this set actually has essential brushes included for a complete makeup look!
During washing, there was no bleeding, shedding or foul play. I can't wait to see how they perform. They are soft and well made for tiny brushes!
You can purchase them from Coastasl Scents here for $25. Look out for discount codes.. I did!

the brushes r soOOo tiny... i need a brush holder.. i use like a pencil box lol
wow they are indeed small!!! Thanks for showing it to us, just by looking at the site, I wouldn't know their exact size :)
I started with those very set of brushes and they're still serving me well up to now. They're my travel brushes and of course, that round crease brush is just excellent.
These brushes are too cute. Costal Scents seems to be the hot spot lately. Oh, I've tagged you on my blog, check it out for more details!! Have Fun
Oh! I know! I don't know! I think I need to discipline myself or something! you gals don't help either with all your fabulous hauls, makes me wanna shop some more!! hahah! hey! I have that badget set! :) I have it for almost a year now and still looks like new! love it and it gets better everytime I wash it! :) No shedding :D
WOW..these brushes are so tiny!! You don't like your blush palette..?? I love mine!!
btw--for my slideshow I think you just needed to hit refresh, I was editing that post when you were viewing it..I think that was the problem anyway..lol
Coastal Scents has burned me on some brushes but then I think about how much you love that badger brush. I need a travel brush set so I may check these.
wow they do look tiny! but sometimes thats a good thing too...i've been debating whether or not to get the coastal scents contour palette...i just dont want to be disappointed...what do u think bout it?
Wow, they are small! I'm wondering if this brush set has weird smell or not. It's good that the brushes did not shed or bleed.
SOunds like a great buy!
PJD
Thank the Lord on high that they didn't shed!! I want soooome!!
I've been lemming the blush palette and neutral e/s palette...I'll be waiting that review:)
Coastal Scents' supplier is www.crownbrush.com for people in the US
www.crownbrush.co.uk for people in the UK.
So they have all these sets and brushes such as the dual fibre/stippling brush.
Check them out, iv ordered from them and they were excellent.
Shoot! Arggh. Now I have to reconsider getting the whole set instead of the few I'd planned on. Waiting with baited breath for your review!
