Review: Bare Minerals Brushes

I like these brushes pretty well. I received these brushes in the starter kit.

1) Precision Concealer Brush: Probably my favorite brush. Its great for eyeliner, because its a large flat rounded brush. Its also great for eyeshadow. 10 out of 10


2)Flawless Face: I like this brush for setting foundation, but I don't have a use for it otherwise. It has a tendency to shed, as well. 6 out of 10


3) Handy Buki: I like this brush for blush, highlighter, and bronzer. Its great for blending. 8 out of 10


4)Max Coverage Concealer: I love this brush for eyeshadow and concealer. 7 out of 10

Great News from Illamasqua!!!

They now accept Paypal!!! I'm so delighted to hear this news, I have a debit card and I've always wanted to try some foundation from Illamasqua!! Shopping online with a debit is very dangerous, more dangerous than shopping with a credit card! So I use paypal for everything, and I'm really happy that now I can shop my favorite makeup website with peace of mind!

Cleaning Makeup Brushes

Everyone knows the baby shampoo trick, but another affordable alternative is puppy shampoo. Its just as gentle and conditioning, and tends to be just as cheap. Here's why I like using puppy shampoo better than baby shampoo, baby shampoo is intended for human hair, puppy shampoo is intended for animals. Because puppy shampoo is intended for use on animals, the ph is better balanced for animal hair, and since a lot of brushes are made of animal hair I figured why not try it. Puppy shampoo is a reasonable alternative, that in many cases can be better for your brushes than baby shampoo.
