Sephora Inspired Makeup Brush Holder

Has your brush situation ever plagued you? Scrambling through the abyss that is your makeup bag looking for the right brush only to grab your mascara for the THIRD time?!?!? Well fret no more ladies...here it is...THE brush holder!!! Go to any craft store, find ANY container that fancies you and put in any flower vase filler that is nice and small. If you get them too big the brushes won't stand as well. It's super cheap and a GREAT way to organize your brushes. I think I am due to get another and separate the eye brushes from the face brushes....the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!

Makeup Brushes Can Be Cheap!!!!!

Well, let me clarify. They need to be made well but you don't have to spend your (or in my case) your husband's whole paycheck to get those quality bristles. These are paint brushes that I picked up at Michael's. They are Loew-Cornell brand and are made from the same fibers as MAC brushes. No, you cannot find a duplicate for every brush that MAC offers but here are some of the basics offered there. To see the details of exactly which ones you can get, visit the link on the side of the blog entitled Paint Brushes vs MAC Brushes. It will take you to EnKore. He is very gifted and teaches many things. I even made my own brush cleanser so that I didn't have to pay $10 at MAC. I love these brushes and use them soooo much. There is no fall out with the bristles and the handles are basically the same too!!!!

Beauty From The Earth Review

I CANNOT say enough good things about this makeup!!!! These are mineral pigments that have a WOW effect when you put them on. They do have shades for everyone, though the ones I picked out are bold and dare I say "sassy" =). I will be doing future tutorials on these bad boys so be watching for it. When I bought the set of ten they were $5 each and came to $50 and when you spend that much shipping is free!!! Check out the website at beautyfromtheearth.com.

Mac Sea & Sky Review

I am VERY impressed with this new duo color from MAC. It goes on so well and you don't need to use much. I would still use a base like the Urban Decay Primer Potion. I used the marbled side all over the lid and the solid in the crease. It's limited so go out and get it!!!! I want to get the green and pink =).

Lash Power - This Season's Hottest Look!

Get yourself right on trend with some incredible lashes, it's all about lash power this coming season & the funkier the better! Of course you don't have to opt for these fabulous hot pink lashes as Princess Eugenie did this week but the more noticeable they are the more glamour you will exude! As they become more popular, false eyelash sales have soared in the last year, up by 150% with us ladies spending around £10 Million on them!!!!
Shu Uemura have just launched a new range to include larger feathered styled lashes encrusted with Swarovski crystals, perfect for that special night out! Mac also have a fantastic range as well, with many shapes & sizes to suit every type of eye.
When applying your lash strips, do eyeshadow first plus eyeliner, then take the strip & place it against your eye without glue first to see the shape on your eye (you may have to slightly cut the inner corner to fit), then gently run it through the glue so all ends are covered & then place it as close to the lash line as possible. Use tweezers to gently push it into place & let it dry off, once it is dry go over your top lash line with liner to perfect the join. After taking them off at the end of the night, use some oil based eye make-up remover to strip the glue that is left on & put them back in their case so you can enjoy them the following weekend!
