Brush talk: ELF Powder blush

 

  Hello everyone, it’s been a long while since I haven’t blogged on beauty stuff. Just like my friend Lady E, I too is on a shopping diet, meaning I can’t buy make-up for 3 paydays. I’m saving up something special for the BF for his upcoming birthday in May.

   For today post:

    I’m really happy I won the ELF powder brush from Lady E’s giveaway last February. I’m loving this brush, the handle is really nice and looks professional too. I washed it first with sunsilk green shampoo, and I’m pretty impressed, no shedding at all and the bristles are soft, but dense enough for contouring. I’ve only used this as blush, later, will try it for my foundation.

      I checked online for reviews, and so far, reviews about this product is really good. Even E says this brush is good! Thanks E.

 

      Till then!

Brushes: THE Sephora Hello Kitty Collectible brush set

 

   Here’s another back log post, forgive me. Remember my post about Finally 2 blogger’s meet? Upon our meet up, she first handed me the most wonderful thing a hello kitty fan could have (for me that is). This is not free, I intend to pay and even get it a few months from now after saving up for M’s birthday gift, but she insisted that I get it now, and I can pay later anyway, Thanks for the trust E.

    I was almost that close in buying my brush set from Suesh, but I’m glad I waited.    

    So here it IS!

     These photos were taken on the same day we met. THE Sephora Hello Kitty 5PC. Brush set available only at The hyphen store. I was really really happy when she had this in her store.

       Here’s a break down of each brush

      Inside…

     These are mini brushes with synthetic white bristles with pink tips. The hair is really soft, the eyeshadow brushes are quite dense, no shedding.

      I haven’t used them yet, so please do watch out for reviews on each brush soon.

                              I love the pink handle and pink tips

  • the synthetic is soft
  • I kept brushing on the hair to see if the hair would fall out and it didn’t – I’ve yet to see if it will shed when washed
  • the size is good for traveling

2. Eye shadow brush

  Now, this is weird, it vertically has no difference with the eye shadow brush, the only difference is the size. My opinion? they should have made it a fluffy brush for blending, but then it’s there already.

   Here’s a comparison of the eye shadow and shader brush

   This brush set sells at the Hyphen for P3,500. Please take into consideration that the actual price of this brush set is different from the Sephora site. Understandably, the owner has to mark up the price just a wee bit. Just check out the site for the terms.

              You can remove the white cup for easy cleaning which is good

      She definitely belongs in my little “dresser”. The ket is happy E, no longer lost I say, haha~

       By the way, each brushes has labels on it. i.e: picture below

   My thoughts about it?

     Even if I did order it online it would cost around P2000+, plus shipping here in the Philippines (which I have no idea how much it would cost).

     It’s a hello kitty collectible, you are really paying for the packaging. Personally, I don’t mind since I’m a hello kitty fan. I’m just happy that Hyphen made this baby available locally. I’m definitely one proud owner of this baby.

 

  Till then!
