Daily Make-Up Brushes...

I got the whole $3 make up brush set from ELF 

and a travel set from MAC 

and 3 Toki Doki brushes 

and 3 Rock & Republic Cosmetics brushes 

and one Body Shop make up brush 

(I threw away the other two because they were too old and I couldn't clean them up), 

two Smashbox, 

one Tarte make up brush, 

and 2 Sephora brushes, 

and one Physcian's Formula brush 

and one eyeliner brush that came with L'oreal gel eyeliner, 

and two Sam Chapman Real Techniques brushes, 

one Sonia Kashuk blending sponge 

and two Laura Mercier sponges that came with the set, 

but I don't need all of them daily. 

So, I have 18 brushes that I use daily, 

the rest are in the make up brush bag of ELF.

The brushes I use are most ELF. I am using 6 of them actually.  

I am using ELF Complexion Brush, 

2 Blush Brush 

(I use one of them with my ELF Golden Bronzer for contouring my face), 

Concealer Brush, 

Small Smudge Brush 

(to smudge the eyeliner under my eyes), 

and Small Angled Brush for gel eyeliner.

Extremely Late July Favorites

Can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted, 

but you would understand me, when you hear my excuse. 

I am looking for my first professional job after college. 

It is more difficult especially in this economy, but I am determined! :)

SO...


My extremely late July Favorites....


#1 of all times is my Sonia Kashuk concealer palette


As far as make up brushes.....


I like my E.L.F brushes, 
but my favorite is my Toki Doki brushes, and Rock & Republic brushes.
They are so soft and high quality!


I love my Guerlain red lipstick. 


I love E.L.F eyeliner brushes


I love my Tarte Smooth Operator. 
It's a miracle to keep your make up in place during hot summer days


I love my E.L.F Golden Bronzer
If you have fair skin like me, then it is the perfect bronzer
It looks sparkly in the pan, but when you apply it, it is just perfect for contouring

I love my Aussie Hair Rescue spray.
It is perfect to detangle hair after shower


I love my Loreal Voluminous mascara. 
It makes my eyelashes really thick without being clumpy .

Lorac Haul

Normally I don't like websites that require you to create an account just to check it out, 

but after I had seen what Budgetbeautiful and others got from HauteLook, 

I couldn't help, but sign up for the website.

Basically, it's a bargain website. 

However, I think the downside is; the products they sell are sometimes old versions.

For eg: You can't find those eyeshadow colors in Sephora or Ulta, 

but still it's a steal for the brand you pay for!

So,

At first, there weren't anything I wanted to buy, so I logged out. 

However, everyday you get an e-mail about the sale of the week.

....and I couldn't help, but order few things.

I got the first part of my order...

Lorac Baked Matte Satin Eye Shadows

for

only

$2.99 ea.

Of course you add tax and shipping, and those colors are no longer available from Sephora,

but how on earth you can buy $19 Lorac eye shadows for almost $3 from anywhere else, huh?

That's a real steal!

......and the colors are gorgeous! Can't wait to wear them.

Chic is a white eyeshadow

Social is a warm brown eyeshadow

Posh 

(I was expecting it to be grey, because that's how it looked on the website, 

but it's a yellowish flesh color, 

but it's really pretty and would be a good highlighter)

Insider is (I am not sure how to discribe it) light navy color

Only black eyeshadow is not a baked eyeshadow, 

so the packaging is different, 

and I was expecting it to be Jet Black, 

but it's not. 

I am kind of disappointed, but that's ok. 

You can't even buy nice drug store eyeshadows for this price. 

Rock & Republic and Juicy Couture Hauls from HauteLook is coming up soon...
