Powder Brushes xx

BH Cosmetics



For me personally, a Powder Brush is an everyday essential.
So it is a necessity for me to have a good one that gives me a flawless finish.
Since I know that most people's pockets don't stretch far enough to have a napoleon perdis brush set, I chose to show up some cheaper alternatives that work just as great:)

Pictured above on the left is the Furless Cosmetics Powder Brush, which is a synthetic brush, valued at $7.95 AUD on the Furless Cosmetic's Website
and on the right is another cheapie from the BH Cosmetics Webpage for $10.95 :) x

A powder brush has many of uses! It can be used to apply Pressed powder to the face (which sets foundation) Finishing powder (which sets all make-up and helps to keep away the oil from your pores) and it can even be used to apply Bronzer for a nice, soft, sun kissed glow.

And I thought I'd add this is to, because it shows you some awesome bronzers :) But if you want a better outcome with bronzing, I would suggest you to get a Stippling Powder Brush :) Like the one Kandee is using  in her video :)



Pointed Foundation Brush xx

Brushes


A few of you are probably reading this thinking, "What the hell?"
The first time I heard of a Pointed Foundation Brush I was the same.

The Pointed Foundation Brush is slightly different to the traditional Oval Foundation brush, as it is designed to get into skinnier areas, like the sides of the nose, and has an innovative tip which replicates the use of a finger to apply foundation. It allows for precise application of Cream, Liquid and Powder products.

As this type of brush can be difficult to find, one of the best ones I know of, is The Jemma Kidd Make-Up School, Pointed Foundation Brush. which is available at www.beautybay.com
Which is shown above in the middle.

But for those who are from America, The E.L.F Store has a cheap Pointed Foundation Brush.

US $3.00 at E.L.F Online Store

Also, you apply your Foundation exactly the same as an oval brush, only the brush is slighly different, and you will have extra precision and blendability!

Shopping Day - On Behalf of my Birthday! xx

Bluebird
Today I took a little trip over to Warni as I had a TAFE Open Day.
I took a look at an amazing course, and had a look around the facilities. It was fab.
Whilst there I took the chance to catch up with my last Make-Up Teacher, Stace. Knowing typical Stace, and being full of surprises, she had a little gift for me, since I placed first in a contest with TAFE. I love gifts :) x



For winning first place I received this little bundle of Napoleon Perdis Joy!
As you can tell, it is filled with Goodies!


It came with a notepad and pencil. A few samples (pictured above)... and of course, (if you follow our Facebook and Twitter, you'd already know..) A brand new brush set! (pictured below)


I must say, these brushes were well needed as my last ones were on the way out!
They came in a cute little zip shut pocket brush holder, amazingly it fold up to be a cute little stand. I think it's adorable, and I'm not 100% sure, but it is either a leather or fake leather :) so it's definitely a cutie pie of a holder! BEST PRIZE EVER!


Of course, whilst in town.. I took a little bargain hunt around the mall!
I got these cute little cheapies above from Kmart! I love the colour and they are fairly comfy!


I brought a cheap as eyelash curler from K-Mart as well!
I needed one so I hit it cheap! Isn't actually a bad eyelash curler for $8 :) xx 


And whilst on a visit, I took a stop into Strangbags, and got this cute little Handbag for roughly $37.00 on Sale! It's by a brand named Bluebird, which I have brought a hundred purses and bags from! Such a great quality for a low price :) Oh and adorable! Did I mention that? haha
