Cozzette brush review roundup
Friday, December 3, 2010
- Reviews of the D225 and D230 {here}
- Reviews of the S125, S135, and S175 {here}
- Review of the P350 {here}
I know, I’ve kind of OD’ed on Cozzette over the last little while… but I have some serious love for these brushes, ladies. I may stop writing theNotice just so I can spend all my time with my S125.
(Kidding! Calm down. It’s going to be okay).
Anyhow, I did want to wrap this up with a bit more info about the Cozzette line (aside from the fact that all of the brushes feature gorgeous purple handles). There are some things inherent to the Divinity collection, so I didn’t bother to mention them in every single review!
Things to remember…
- These brushes run at about the same price (or less) as MAC brushes, so while they may be a bit of an investment, the prices aren’t too bad. (Plus, they’re totally worth it if you ask me!)
- I’ve washed these numerous times already (I try to make sure to wash brushes at least 3-4 times before reviewing them), and I haven’t had a single problem with shedding — of any of the brushes. Gotta say; I’m impressed.
- Cozzette brushes are all cruelty-free, and they’re made out of the *softest* synthetic ever. I challenge you to find a softer one, seriously. And you can’t be on hallucinogenic substances when you find it.
- The line is independent. In other words, a really cool makeup artist is profiting from your purchase, not a huge multinational corporation. For some reason, that makes me really happy!
Compared to Ecotools brushes…
- I love my Ecotools, but these really show them up! You can definitely feel the price difference in the form of quality (which makes my wallet cry a little). Here’s a few of the more noticeable differences:
- Cozzette brushes have really luxe, weighte handles; Ecotools have light handles and tend to be top-heavy.
- Cozzette face/cheek brushes are more dense and a lot less floppy; Ecotools face/cheek brushes are a little are on the sparse side.
- Cozzette bristles are just… softer. It’s crazy: I thought Ecotools were as soft as it gets, but these are definitely softer and smoother.
The verdict? Honey, you need a Cozzette face (or cheek) brush. You really do. I very, very rarely say things like this, but… I think you should splurge on one. (And I mean, hey! It’s Christmas!)
*hides*
Okay, but really. They’re the most luxurious synthetic line I’ve ever tried, they’re cruelty-free, and they’re not actually terribly expensive. I would definitely, totally, completely recommend splashing out a little for at least one of these.
What can I say? A really luxurious powder brush is just a really, really nice way to start off your morning!

Hi Roque,
I was due in to forward these links to you this weekend, but I suppose that now I will not have to! Thank you so much for sending us these brushes to review; I truly enjoyed them and was very impressed with the line.
All my best,
Rae
Wraugh I'm so into those handles they are so gorgeous!! Merg, I've been thinking a lot about weeding through all of the crappy brushes I have. I love that the powder brushes are so dense~ definitely something I look for. I do have one question about the eyeshadow brushes… I know that my eco tools set had an eyeshadow brush that was definitely very soft, but stiff. I prefer my eyeshadow brushes slightly slightly more sparse so that they flex a little easier. How are these in comparison to the ecotools in terms of that?
Have you tried the Everyday Minerals brushes? I was sent 14 of their brushes as a part of a "Fan Club" prize as the company was going down the crapper. While I wouldn't order their makeup again, the brushes are fantastic. They're incredibly soft – They blow Ecotools out of the water as well (EDM were my first brushes – I never got the hype with Ecotools. EDM is denser and softer). I have doubles of an eye kabuki, and the one I've been using for over a year looks just like my new backup one :)
From the looks of their site, they've actually stopped carrying a bunch of their brushes (all of their eye ones..?)… I really don't know what the company is doing any more though ^^;
I'm sitting here with my brushes in hand and they are slightly top heavy though. And my god those Cozzette brushes are gorgeous! I'm definitely checking them out when I need replacements :)
I know! They're absolutely lovely.
The eyeshadow brushes that I tried are definitely soft, both in terms of smoothness and in… floppiness, if you will? In other words: yes, they do flex easily :)
I haven't, but everyone keeps talking about them… and it kind of makes me want to give them a go. (If only so that I can compare them :p) I'm very much NOT thrilled with their business practices, though, so tbh I'd rather give my $$ to a company like Cozzette : )
Agreed; their business practices are downright atrocious at times. I wish I could get the same brushes from another company. :/
Same here — then I could actually try them (without feeling guilty!) :p
