When I saw these beauties pop up on my Instagram feed I decided that I just had to have them. They may quite possibly be the most beautiful makeup brushes I've ever seen, everything about them is so gorgeous - from the minty green handle, to the purple and lilac two-toned bristles, they are nothing short of perfection.
I really like the name of this collection, the Atlantis Collection and I do think that the brushes have a mermaid vibe to them with their colour palette and clam-shell case that is just so pretty, it's not surprising this set is referred to as 'mermaid dreams' on the Spectrum Collections website.
This set includes ten brushes, all essentials for eyes, lips and face to create flawless makeup looks. The brushes included are -
Flat Top Buffer
Large Domed Powder
Small Angled Blush
Buffing Concealer
Large Fluffy Shader
Tall Tapered Blender
Small Angled Blender
Angled Brow
Lip Liner
Eyeliner
I use these brushes everyday and they are amazing, especially the blender brushes, they allow me to blend my eyeshadow flawlessly without much effort at all. The bristles on these brushes are super soft, there is no fallout at all and the don't scratch or irritate the face or eyes, they just sweep over them effortlessly.
The only change I would make to these brushes is to have the bristles a little bit stiffer for more precise application, this may be personal preference though as I'm used to using stiffer brushes like those from the EcoTools and Real Techniques ranges, both of which I've reviewed on the blog before. Other than that they're fantastic and definitely worth the almost £60 for the set - an amazing price for a complete set of makeup brushes I think.
The brushes are encased within a lilac, faux-leather Glam Clam with rose gold detailing. It's such a pretty case and I keep my brushes within it rather than taking them out and putting them in my makeup brush holder, I think it'd be a shame to separate them really.
The Glam Clam is available from the Spectrum Collections website for £59.99 and as this is a limited edition product I'd get it quickly if you've been lusting over it. I can see the Spectrum Collections brushes becoming a bit of a cult beauty product and their main collection has already sold out, eek!
Do you love the look of these brushes as much as I do?
These brushes are so beautiful! I think once all of these birthdays/weddings/events are out of the way I'll have to make a cheeky purchase... I mean, anything that will prompt me to put on makeup is a good thing, right?
Aren't they? It was love at first sight for me, I just HAD to have them and I thought, you know what, I deserve a treat 😉 Definitely Collette, invest!!! x
While I don't wear makeup, I like to keep my finger on the pulse of products! These brushes look great and I will be sharing your post with friends who would be interested in these too!
Those brushes make me happy simple because they are so pretty! I've been looking for a new set of makeup brushes but wanted something out of the ordinary and these definitely fit the bill!
They are so pretty! I would love to have a beautiful set of brushes like these ones. The case is great too - so much more unique than the typical brush case!
The color is so pretty! I'm enchanted by the packaging too! This is the most beautiful makeup brushes I've ever seen!

I'm still a bit of a makeup newbie so brushes are not something I am too knowledgeable about BUT these are so pretty I think they would have me based on that alone. Oh and the seashell case is so lovely!
I'm not really into make up but these brushes may be the prettiest set of make up brushes I have ever seen! x
Oh wow - these brushes are gorgeous! They would be wasted on me - but my daughters would love them. The colours are stunning! Kaz x
I love these brushes! I wear the bare minerals make-up which is all powder and requires different types of brushes. I would definitely love to give these brushes a try! I love the case and the colors of the brushes. I think my brushes are a good mix of soft and stiff so these should work well!
Ok I'm I love with these makeup brushes!!! They are my all time favorite color. Tiffany 😉 I so need these in my life!
They do look awesome! I just realized I don't own make up brushes. I love the case these come in too!
That two-toned look is incredible! And then there's the case. Honestly, what's not to love about this set!
OMG these are some gorgeous looking brushes, wow. I am loving the colour the mint and the lilac/purple just sits so well together.
This sounds like an amazing brush collection indeed and it is totally gorgeous. I love the shape of the case and the colors of the brushes. It is totally something I would buy. Thanks for sharing.
I love good makeup brushes. I use a lot of Bare Minerals and love their brushes but think I need to find some of these too.
Those really are different looking make up brushes with that purplish tint to the bristles. This would make a great gift for that person you know who is totally into daily make up.
I can easily see how and why you fell in love with these make-up brushes. It's seldom when I see beautiful make-up brushes, but these are simply beautiful! Plus, the colors are so fun and vibrant.
Wow! I do not wear makeup much at all but these brushes are so pretty that it almost makes me want to wear it more often!
These look AMAZING! I love love love the colours but I am totally drawn in by the packaging! I may need to go buy this, right now 😛 x
oh god *___* I'm in love!
Love the case for these brushes! Reminds me of the Little Mermaid. Lately I've been really into the beauty blender for blending your makeup. Have you ever tried it?

Beautiful case, do you think it would fit make up inside with the brushes too? Would you be able to use it as a travel make up bag with brushes and make up inside or would it not all fit? Thank you
Hi Alicia, you could probably fit a very thin eye shadow and lipstick in there but not a lot. I don't use all the brushes everyday though so maybe if you took some of them out you could fit in more? Hope that helps.
Oh my gosh these look incredible! xx
i just placed an order for some spectrum brushes on boxing day this post has made me even more excited for them to arrive
