O! Wow Brush

So this past year all I have been seeing all over Instagram are these amazing looking ova makeup brushes. I knew I needed to try these. These brushes are amazing. At first it was a little strange because of the design but I soon realized that they're unique for a reason. I used this brush to blend my makeup seamlessly, and it cut down on doing my makeup by half the time is usually takes. The dense bristles are designed to blend powder, cream and liquid foundation. Use it to contour and highlight. These oval brushes are game changing. I love doing my makeup every morning.

FACEatelier Foundation

I find it very hard to find a foundation I am loyal to. I’m always trying new ones because I just don’t feel like I’ve found the perfect one for my skin. Well, that has changed. I tried the FACEatelier Ultra Foundation and I was blown away. This foundation is designed to be used without primers or powder. It is an oil free formula and does not needing powder and will give you that dewy glow all day and night. It's buildable so you can use it for a sheer look and add more and build it for move coverage as needed. I definitely will be buying another bottle and tell my friends that’s a first!

Sigma Beauty Brushes and Cleaner

All right let’s talk cleaning our makeup brushes. I for one will admit I wasn’t doing it nearly enough, especially knowing you should do it once a week! So I decided to see what was out there to help me in my quest to clean my brushes with minimal effort. I am so glad I came across Sigma Beauty Dry'n'Shape Tower and Express Brush Cleaning Mat. The mat is amazing. You just stick it to your sink around the drain (there are suction cups on the back) and use the different parts of the mat to clean the brushes! Then once they’re clean you snap the in the handy-dandy tower hanging downward and they dry and re-shape back to brand new brushes! I have actually washed my brushes every week since I got this so it definitely is worth it! It’s really amazing!

Tint Brush

So this is another really cool oval brush I recently tried. This one is quite big and I used it to apply foundation to my face. Now I’m all about trying to get the smoothest looking skin possible. I try every sponge and brush technique I find online and try it. NOTHING has compared to The Tint Brush. First thing I noticed is that it uses maybe HALF of the amount of foundation I used to use on my face. It doesn’t suck up all the product like a sponge. It gentle blends it into your skin flawlessly. The trick to these oval brushes is the massive amount of velvet-soft bristles packed into the handle. I couldn’t believe how soft and smooth the brush felt on my skin. The best part is that it takes less then a minute to apply and blend my foundation! One of the best brushes I have ever used.
