BeautyBlender Solid Lavender Cleaner

 I have tried the liquid and really did not get on with it. The solid version I love it. It cleans all different types of bristle, shape and density.  I even use it with a toothbrush to clean my eyelash curlers. Wet the brush and the solid soap and swirl the brush on the soap. Using the mat that is included in the tub helps you to work the soap into the bristles and dislodges any dried-on makeup easily.

NYX Foundation Brush

I bought this to help apply my Tan Luxe tanning drops and its perfect. Shape, density and material. The size of the brush heads is perfect to swirl any type of cream be it foundation or moisturiser containing tanning drops around the hairline and jaw as well as the tops of your ears. I like to pinch the bristles together when apply anything along both sides of my nose and the tip. My skin is sensitive to certain types of bristles and this brush does not make my skin itch once I have used it.   

Tan Luxe The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops – Light/Medium

 These are the most perfect tanning drops there are on the market. Why? Let me explain. Firstly, you add it to your moisturizer start off with one or two drops and apply in a circular.  If you are not happy with the colour might be too pale, then add more drops. Ok I hear you that’s what all tanning drops can do. Have you ever tried to apply it with a brush and contoured with it? I do.  Only one drop in my moisturizer and a synthetic brush. Around the hair line, jaw, cheeks and nose. I do this at least once a week to especially in the winter as I am pale really pale with freckles. In the summer I do the contour and then with whatever is remaining on the brush I gently swipe it across my face.

Fenty Beauty Icon Semi Matte Lipstick

These are sample sizes which are generous in size.  They are a semi-matte lipstick and smell delicious of cocoa. They are very pigmented which means that they can be applied straight from the bullet, with a brush or with your fingers depending on the look you want to create.  They are long lasting and did not make my lips peel or feel dry.  Pose Queen – is a colour I would wear on those days that I am doing the weekly shopping in jeans etc. It great a great nude and I would wear it on my cheeks too maybe not my eyes – well that’s something to try in the future. The MVP – now this is the date or special occasion lipstick that you want to wear when you want everyone to notice you.  You want to feel powerful. Again, I might wear it on my cheeks – a small amount applied with fingers. Scholar Sista – perfect colour for the office and those Brunch dates.  It’s a shade that will go with everything and make you feel polished, professional.

M.A.C Dual-Ended Foundation Brush

Image
This is a great brush as you can use it in two different ways to create different effects. The paddle end of the brush to apply the foundation of your choice.  You can blend and build with this end. If you like a more diffused look then the dome-end is perfect for that. I have sensitive skin and certain types of brush can make my skin feel like I have hundreds of spiders crawling across my skin, neither end causes this as well it is a pleasure to use it when needed.
