RePost on Walmart HD Brushes

 

I posted about these brushes last June 2010.

I have to say that these brushes are still my Ultimate favorite on my Daily Makeup Routine.

I wanted to give you guys a more detailed information on how I use these brushes.

As mentioned these brushes I purchased them at Walmart.

The price is very cheap but the quality is great.

They have lasted a long time already and I wash them often.

Their shape is still the same and these brushes have never shed. 

I will review them in the order they are in the picture.

HD Angled Brush

This brush I use it to apply mostly my foundations, this is one of those multitasking brushes though.

It can be used for so many purposes.

Liquid Foundation: This brush applies my liquid foundation very nicely, it give me a flawless application as it is blending and applying product at the same time.

Foundation Powder: When I want a full coverage, this brush does the job since I dab the brush into the product and pat onto my face.  

Cream Blush: This brush applies cream blush or cream contour products nicely as well. 

Touch ups: I also use this brush to touch up and apply my blotting powder.

Overall this is a great inexpensive brush and I highly recommend it to all of you. 

It is very dense and the softness is amazing. 

The Ultimate Face Set

In this set there are the following brushes

Angled Brush:Same description as above

Foundation Brush: This brush I use it to apply cream and liquid foundation.

It is very dense and applies product nicely.

Large Concealer Brush: This brush I LOVE so much. I use it to set my concealer with powder.

It it the perfect size to apply your highlight and to set concealer.

This brush is dense, soft and what I love about it is that is not too firm as most concealer brushes are.

This brush is just a bit fluffy wich is great for the purpose I use it for.

 I am so used to this brush I don't think I could be without it.

Medium Concealer Brush: This brush I use it to apply cream concealers.

HD Deluxe Eye Duo Set

Brush 1: The larger side I use it to set my concealer or remove eyeshadow fallout.

The concealer brush side I use it to apply concealer or eye primer.

Brush 2: I use the blending side to apply my concealer, eye primer and blending

I mainly use it for concealer as it applies it very nice.

I use the pencil side of this brush to apply very detailed concealer.

Brush 3: This one is a brow spoolie to groom my brows and

the other side I use it to apply color on my brows.

HD Powder Brush

This brush I mainly use it to blend my liquid foundation and to set it with loose powder.

It does an amazing job and creates a flawless look.

Did I mentioned that all these brushes are very dense and extremely soft.

when I do Freelancing my clients love the way these brushes

 feel and most of them cannot believe the price.
Also these brushes have been keeping me from buying the Sigmax Brushes,
since I use most of them to apply my face products.
And well the price beats it all.

I hope this more detailed post was helpful to alot of you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ebay 10 Blush Palette

I did some online shopping and this is one of the items I got from Ebay.

10 Blush Palette

I was hoping this was an all matte palette but not quite what I had in mind, but not bad either.

It is super pigmented a bit powdery though but no big deal.

The colors on this palette seem to suit all skintones.

Lasting Power is good

These are more like satin finished blushes.

I already own the blush palette that came with the Coastal Scents 42 Stackable Palette

and I was afraid it would be the same palette but its not.

They are different in colors and textures.

The blushes from the stackable palette are more dry in finish  and more shimmery.

Overall this is a good palette to start with.

I got this palette for $10.89 on Ebay

MY OPINION

Pigmentation is good

Texture is silky and buttery like the Mac Studio Fix.

Coverage is good if you are setting with this powder, alone its not that great in coverage.
I haven't used it wet so I can't comment on that function.
I also like that it did not feel cakey.

Lasting Power, I used it over my cream foundation and it lasted a good amount of time without touching up.
The Size if the product I have to say I was a bit surprised since I thought they would be a bit bigger.
These are the size of the blushes on on the 10 palette.
Which its not a big deal for me.
Packaging,  a black long sleek palette very professional looking.
The powders can be refilled as they sell them separately.
Overall I think this is a good palette to have on your kit.
It has a great range of colors for almost all skin tones.
This palette is also great for contouring and highlighting,
an all in 1 palette for professional or personal use.

I printed this label off Camera Ready Cosmetics Website and taped it to my palette to

know the colors on the palette since the colors are only shown on the botton of the actual powder.

I liked Camera Ready Cosmetics Service I ordered my palette on Nov 25, 2011

and received it on Nov 30, 2011 pretty fast I think.

I already have other palettes on my wishlist from this site.

Here is a picture wearing Buttercream from this palette on top of my

Artistry Essentials Concealer in Medium.

I also contoured with the color Cocoa from this palette.

I got a lot of great comments of how my face looked so flawless that I just wanted to share it with you guys. I am loving this powder and will buy the full size for myself.

For Reference I am an NC37 in Mac and the Color Buttercream in Graftobian Dual Finish Foundation Powder matched well on me.

I really hope this review was helpful!

ROLLING TRAINCASE REVIEW

I know I had asked for your help to help me decide what traincase I should get, but I was beaten to it =D

I guess my hubby knows me and picked what he tought I would like best, and well he nailed it.

I'm absolutely in LOVE with my new toy =D and can't Thank him enough.

So this is what I got

And here is my review

I was tired of carrying 3 cases every time I went to go do makeover.

Now I will only carry this traincase.

It has enough space to carry all you need to do a makeover.

It looks very Professional.

It comes with keys incase you want to keep it locked.

A strap to carry the top traincase incase you want to just take one

or separate them and make 2 traincases out of it.

Adjustable separators to divide your top traincase in what ever size you want.
It also has an additional compartment that goes on the bottom part of the traincase.

It really means alot to know I can be helpful to some of you.

NYX BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY AND CASTING CALL 10 PALETTE

Here is my review on 2 of the NYX The Runway Collection Palettes

My Opinion

Each Palette has 10 colors

Pigmentation: Some of the colors are great in pegmentation while

others are too powdery and too shimmery, which causes alot of fallout.

Staying Power: Using these with a base that makes the eyeshadows stay longer

and helps bring out the color will definetly help make these last longer.

The colors are very nice a variety of neutral and grey shades.

To create a smokey day or night look, these work great.

Price: I got these for $10.99 plus tax

Overall I have to say these palettes are just OK to me, due to the fallout.
Other than that these palettes are good products specially if you are starting up with makeup.
There are more palettes with tons of colors to choose from.

I will start creating FOTD's and wait for your comments =D

Here are some Swatches

Enjoy!

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

I really need your help deciding on which traincase to buy.

I have really been wanting to get me a rolling traincase forever.

My husband said he would get it for me on my comming Birthday on Nov 22.

 I am debating on which one to choose.

Can you guys help me decide?

I would really appreciate this.

The 2 below are what I am not sure of.

Hope to hear your opinions!

Leaves lips soft, smooth and supple.
Vitamin E helps protect against environmental pollutants.
Does not bleed or transfer to theeth.
Cool Minty Flavor

Case is the signature color brown and pink it is magnetic, very nice, compact and cute.


mark Lipclick Color Shine $10.00 
With sun protection built in, this moisturizing formula delivers shine and sheer color encased in our trademark magnetic tube that "clicks" closed every time.
With vitamins A, C and E. 0.106 oz. net wt.

Packaging for both Lipsticks and Lipshines
A very compact lipstick with magnets around the top
 that clicks shut everytime.
Dark Chocolate brown tube with pink writting.
Inside barrel is pink.
I love the packaging and Im just happy with these lip products.

My Opinion for the Lipstick:
 I do agree with the full even coverage.

I like that its not sticky or slippery, color is more satiny than shiny which I like alot.
 It does keep lips moistourized.

Lasting power is good actually stayed on longer than other lipsticks.
Scent is minty but it doesn't have that nasty tingly feeling.

My Opinion for the Lipclick Color Shine
This is a very sheer and shiny product. It also moistourizes my lips
leaving them super soft.
This one has SPF 15 so that makes this product even better.
I use these on a daily basis and reccomend these to be tried.
It may be a bit pricey for just a lipshine and I did gave it alot of thought wether to purchase or not.
I am glad I purchased them as I really liked them alot
I guess this would be a personal choice to make as there are more cheaper lipshines out there.

Overall I have been pretty bummed out with some Mark Products as I have purchased quite a few items this year and not too many were of my liking.
There are a few items that I really do like though and these lip product are part of my faves.
