Ecotools Bronzer brush Rave

 

Hey hey hey~

So this is a quick post to rave about this Eco tools bronzer brush that i recently purchased.

 

This brush sells for $9.99 and the only place i could find it was on drugstore.com. I checked Duane Reade, Target, Kmart and couldn't find it at all. It is unbelievably soft anf fluffy and full. It feels like heaven on the skin. I am soo going to buy another one as it is great for applying all over face powder. This is a bronzer brush but honestly it is rather big and fluffy so if you have a small face and/or are looking for more controlled application then this brush is, in my opinion and my experience so far, not the best for the job. If you are applying in big sweeps thenthis brush is perfect. I also tried to se it to apply blush as i have big cheeks and figured it would work well. Personally i think it applied too much blush but it worked well for buffing it in.

Overall this brush is just fabulous and i adore it. It reminds me of the ELF Kabuki brush except with a long handle and slightly firmer bristeles (still very soft though compared to alot of other brushes). Also no shedding! big time plus! If you ever come across this brush i really suggest you pick one up. you'll love it, trust me.

NARS Eyeshadows Haul

Hey hey hey~

So i picked up 3 eyeshadows from NARS, all in the brown family as i love natural neutral eyes and NARS has some gorgeous browns.

 

NARS - Lola Lola

NARS - Ondine

NARS - Cyprus

I really like Lola lola the best of them all. I tend to gravitate towards bronzey and gold toned colors so it was a perfect addition to my collection.

NOTD: China Glaze - Sexy in the City

Excuse my dry hand eek! i always wash my hands after removing old polish to get rid of the nail polish removers from my skin and i forgot to lotion up before taking this pic. This polish looks blue in the bottle and in the pic above but once you put it on your nails it has a more blue-green tone to it. I actually had to apply 3 coats to get this coverage, but it may have been the way i was painting my nails, i like to do light strokes and add coats if necessary. But it when on very smoothly and dired fast so no complaints.

NOTD: OPI's Sahara Sapphire

I love this color, its a metallic violet-blue and depending on the lighting (excuse my bad lighting which doesn't show it well) it can seem a violet steel.
