Harry Potter Makeup Brushes - A Muggle Must Have!

11:23 AM mssoellegant 0 Comments


With the upcoming release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, muggles everywhere are running rampant with Harry Potter fever! Just a few weeks ago there were these faux palettes to obsess over, then the real Harry Potter-inspired shadows. Now there are Harry Potter makeup brushes shaped like WANDS that look almost too good to be true. Created by Storybook Cosmetics, these Potter-inspired brushes are exquisite with long lustrous handles and intricate detailing that are straight out of the wizarding world.
The initial ramblings of these magical makeup tools came from the Makeup Addiction Reddit forum that shared a teaser of the set. It wasn't long before Potterheads the world over became collectively obsessed, coveting the tools of which we still knew very little about. Over the past few days, Storybook Cosmetics has gradually shared more and more info about their soon-to-be cult classics on their Instagram (while also growing their following from less than 10,000 to a whopping 74.5 thousand just over the weekend).

Since this is a new brand I did a little digging to give you the 4-1-1. The brand is actually the brainchild of sisters Mandy, Missy, and Erin Maynard of Omaha-based company the Geeky Cauldron. They sell all things fandom including jewelry, scarves, and phone cases. So it only makes sense that their next project would be makeup inspired by more geeky things they love.  "As massive fans of all things wizard, this seemed like the obvious step to merge our two loves—fandom and makeup." sister Erin exclaims.
The set includes five brushes, modeled after Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, and Lord Voldemort’s infamous wands (all synthetic with metal alloy handles and cruelty free), that will arrive at your doorstep in a custom velvet pouch for safe keeping. Price point is set at $55 & there isn't an option to purchase singles at this time. Now I know that seems steep for 5 brushes, however Storybook lets us know because they are a start up company the price was set due to the extreme costs of rushing into mass production. "We are a teeny tiny brand new business and unfortunately we don't have the ability to order brand new, custom items, in massive quantities. (allowing for a much bigger production discount)."

  • Wand preview posted Monday 10/10/2016

As you can see these brushes have sold out ON PREORDER in merely 2 days! Sorry ya'll, I am just as disappointed I wasn't able to snatch these up, but the brand will be putting in another round of production before the holidays. As of now, the estimated shipping date is December 10 for the preorders, so stay tuned and be on the lookout for the official release and next round of ordering!
