Crown Brushes REVIEW

I get to review these lovely brushes from Crown Brushes. As you can tell I wasted no time using them! They are very soft and easy to use and the brush overall quality is excellent. I checked their website and they are very much affordable.  I forgot to picture one more, but I will mention in that sometime next week,

I have:

C473 Pro Contour-I have got to day these are all very good especially the Pro Contour, this is a very precise brush, super easy to use. It gives me an exact contour and I can contour my nose. This is very soft and blends well. I love this better than my Nars Ita brush. 

C410 Flat Concealer- I find that this brush isnt verty good with concealing at all. This is good with smoking my lower lash line. Very soft and I don't poke my eye lol!

C467 Precision Eye Detail- This brush is very precise. I love to use this for applying my liquid lipsticks. It is so darn good. I can outline my lips fill them in. This brush really comes in handy.

C160 - 1/16- love to use this for cleaning up my brows with concealer. It is nice and stiff which is perfect. I also clean around my lips for a perfect pout. 

CC3330 Pro Blending Crease-this brush is very soft, but I find it too soft to blend away any  crease shadows. I can blend away my transition shadows but definitely no dark shades with this brush.  

Overall I give this a solid 8. Price point is an A+, Quality is an A, Presentation is an A. These are super affordable so I suggest you try them out. I have to say I will be making a purchase, and if I have to recommend which brushes to pick it would be for sure the Pro Contour and the C467. I love products that get the job done without using more brushes. 

These products were kindly sent to me, I chose to do a review, these are always my opinion, and my thoughts and opinions are always genuine. 

                        

Luxie Beauty REVIEW!

As many of you may about Luxie beauty here comes a review! As always these are my true thoughts!

I first heard about Luxie brushes probably watching a Youtube video, and when I first got one was from Ipsy Glam bag. i received the Tapered Blending brush which happens to be the best blending brush I have ever used. It is my most used brush I own. Real talk.

I have 2 more to add to my Luxie collection. Lets jump in.

I have the 209 Large Shader brush and the 215 Small Angle Brush.

209 Large Shader brush: It is exactly like its called. A large shader brush. It is best usded for applying shadow onto the lid. Ive used this a couple times with different types of eyeshadows, from pressed pigments, loose pigments and Colourpop shadows. 

Verdict. It is best used for  pressed and loose pigments. Especially if you're going to foil a shimmery shadow it is amazing. On the weekend I used Solstice from UD and usually with shimmery shadows I spray some Mac Fix + and when I do that the shadow usually runs down the sides of the brush. Not with this brush. Its actually nice and stiff and easy to apply my foiled shadows. This is a must have. 

215 Small Angle Brush: this is obviously an angles brush which can be used for several things like gel lining, wing lining and using for them eyebrows. I used this brush two ways. Gel lining- using it to create my usual winged liner and using this with my ABH dipbrow.

Verdict: This brush is very soft that it was very difficult to create a winged liner using gel. The bristles are much soft for that. However when I used this with my ABH dipbrow I got different results. This actually works really good filing in my brows. I have almost full brows with of course some sparse spots this works really good filling them in without looking too harsh. 

Overall using these Luxie brushes I would have to highly recommend them. They are a much better quality than Sigma and Morphe (I own brushes from both). These brushes are indeed soft, and whats important is how good the performed. 

Overall everything I have received I was pleasantly pleased. It's nice to use products that will be used and not collect dust! I will for sure be purchasing the 12 piece brush set! 

They are vegan free and of course synthetic for those who only use cruelty free products, we can all be rest assured not a single animal was hurt! I also have a 20% off coupon code : BELLAM at http://luxiebeauty.com/?aff=46

These products were sent to me. These are my one and only thoughts! You know I keep it real :) and special thanks to Christina Luxie. :)

I also got these lashes in the style Foxy. These are actually natural style which are great for everyday use. They are my kind of lashes since I'm more of a natural lash kind of gal! 

Tarte Stroke of Midnight Brush Set

These brushes are LE and please get to a Sephora and take a look at these. I got these during the friends and family 20% sale at Sephora and these are so adorable!!! 

The sequins makeup case is stunning. I usually don't like sequins at all but they outdid themselves and it's so pretty. The color selection is divine. 

The gold handles look super pretty and not cheap as far as these brushes work let's go right in. 

The brush set included: 

Concealer Brush-I ised it for concealer brush and this doesn't work for that whatsoever. It's not dense enough to help blend out the concealer it's more soft. It is a great alternative as a small angle brush and this gives a nice use as contour brush since its angled. 

Eyeshadow Brush-this works quite well, a shader brush if we must and it works well with eyeshadows and especially ColourPop shadows. 

Complexion Brush-this brush is so good for picking up a small amount of blush and help diffuse color with just a nice natural flush. It actually is quite dense.

Blush Brush-this is a flimsy brush. It's too soft and serves as no purpose. It's actually very disappointing. There's no way you can pick up blush and apply it to your cheeks. It's too soft and flimsy. Fail.

Tarte the Buffer Airbrush Finish Foundation Brush-star of the show. I have been using this since I've washed my brushes. It's absolutely worth it. This is very soft and dense and my foundation actually looks flawless. I love love love this foundation brush. It's quite nice finding a new Holy Grail. 

E.L.F Ultimate Kabuki Brush Review

I have had a good couple of days to try this out in different ways, contouring, highlighting, and bronzing. Let me start off this brush is super soft, it as big as your palm, and super affordable. Now I can't say this is a dupe to the Nars Ita brush because I don't own it, but here's my review. 

Highlighting, it's just too big to do that job. 

Contouring, it does a great job buffing the contour color, great for buffing out the jawline and cheekbones, not for the nose though, well maybe you can, the brush will really buff out the contour so there goes that.

Bronzing, this is the ideal brush for bronzing everywhere. It's big enough to get the face around temples. cheekbones, and jawline. It's so soft that it will nicely buff out the color to your desired look. 

The bristles are so soft, softer than anything that they have in their line, I did notice very little shedding when I first got it, but not anymore. This is a good handy brush to have, I do love it and when summer time comes this will be the perfect brush to bronze for a nice sun kissed look. My reviews are always honest, I hope this helps!

E.L.F Goodies

Thanks so much E.L.F for these goodies, this was really unexpected! Can't wait to try all this, of course not all at once! So grateful! I got the Studio Line brushes, the new Ultimate Kabuki brush, their new Intense Ink Eyeliner (which I have tested, and I love!) and some lip balm tint! So excited!

Yes, these items were provided to me from E.L.F for reviewing purposes, I do not get no money for talking about it! 

SoHo Disney Set at Wal-Greens
