haul post

hello beauties,

Today i received my parcel from i-herb.com .its a great website for health and beauty products.i was searching for a website which sells real technique's brushes(by the pixiwoo sisters fame) .i came across this website and found it really affordable.so here's what i got....

e.l.f powder brush,real techniques powder brush and real techniques miracle sponge

1st is the e.l.f STUDIO POWDER BRUSH.it was on my wish list for a long time.the body of the brush is sturdy.i don't have any complaints when i first opened the packaging.it didn't have any foul smell.the bristles were intact.its a flat top powder brush but can be used for both liquid or powder applications.

Product Claims: This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush! Creates a professional sculpted look. Full coverage colour. Use for powder or blush for perfect contouring

e.l.f studio powder brush

Direction for Use:- Dip the brush into powder and then tap off excess. Start near the hairline and work inward as to not over apply color.

Price:- $3

what i liked :- this brush is flat and dense so application is much smoother.i have used my mineral powder foundation with this and it worked amazingly.it just blended smoothly.its great even for cream blushes.One best thing is the bristles/ hair remain shiny no matter how many times I have washed it. Brush is really soft and doesn’t lose its shape after drying.its super affordable for such a quality product

what i disliked:- availability. its not available in india and only on some  few websites.

 ...................................................................................................................................

2nd product i ordered was another powder brush(i love fluffy powder brushes) the REAL TECHNIQUES POWDER BRUSH.the brush has densly packed bristles.perfect for powdering whole face or bronzing.

the bristles are taklon; a synthetic fibre that is far superior to animal hair in makeup brushes.its extremly soft to touch and doesnt irritate the skin or eyes when you just sweep it across your face.i cant complain about this product because i just love it.

product claims:-Evenly apply powders and mineral foundations for smooth, high-definition results,look pixel-perfect even in harsh light

ultra-plush, synthetic bristles are hand-cut and 100% cruelty-free.self-standing for easy storage and extended aluminum handle is light and easy to use...

price:- 9.99 $

The application is really good, it's  light and it allows the product to be build up. I have used it to apply powder  and bronzer as a contour and appreciate the transfer of colour and easy, smooth and brilliant application

what i liked :- the quality is amazing.it didnt shed after washing twice.it doesnt havea foul smell once you open the packaingg ,not pricey.has a flat base so that you make it stand.great for applying translucent powders.

what i disliked :- it doesnt fit in my brush pouch.if you have a small face.the brush will cover the entire face and the applicatin will be only limited for overall powdering and not contouring or bronzing

...........................................................................................................................................

3rd is an amazing product.the MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE by REAL TECHNIQUES.

product claims:-Optimize your beauty routine with this 3-in-1 multi-functional sponge.Rounded sides blend large areas of the face with a repeated dabbing or “stippling” motion.Precision tip covers blemishes and imperfections.Flat edge for the contours around the eyes and nose.
Its versatile design evenly blends makeup for a smooth, enhanced finish.

price :- 6$

SPONGES have evovled in the past years.now you get many types of sponges other then the regular wedge triangular sponges.sponge application is tricky but the end result is always good.i wanted to try a makeup sponge and as i love real techiques i thought i would go for their miracle sponge.i never knew a makeup sponge can give such an airbrush glowy finish to the skin.this orangy sponge is miraculously good.you just simply wet the sponge and wait for it to expand slightly.then squeeze it tightly to remove the excess water and tissue dry it.you want it just damp not wet.then i would apply or dab foundation(cream or liquid) on my face and using the flat side of the sponge i use a dabbing stippling motion.it looks flawless.i was happy with the result because i have acne spots acne on my face and with just one layer of foundation it blended with skin effortlessly. 

WHAT I LIKED:- i am in love with this sponge.its super soft and feels light on the skin.you can use it for foundation ,concelaers,or even powder applications.its multi tasking beauty tool.affordable too

WHAT I DISLIKED:- ummm, actualy nothing

l'OREAL PARIS kajal magique REVIEW

Hello beauties, 

The much talked about kajal is here.the L'OREAL PARIS kajal magique.. as the packaging says its waterproof and 12 hour smudge proof..the pigmentation is not such a strong black eyeliner.had to swipe 2-3 times and yet it was not the darkest dark.,well its true that it didn't smudge after application but yes it did fade away after 2 hours .had to reapply.  it is water proof.it doesnt even come off if we try to rub it off.a makeup remover is must(if you dont want to irritate the eyes). the packaging is nice and sturdy.loved the colour combination dark pink and black..i didn't find it creamy.maybe i got a faulty one.but i have warmed it up a bit by the blow drier and it worked fine.

it didnt smudge after rubbing it :-)

• WHAT I LIKED : the packaging is good.staying power is also fair and smudge proof and affordable.if you dont want a harsh black kohl eye then this perfect for you.
• WHAT I DISLIKED : not so creamy.its not pigmented as how an eye liner kajal should be.if you want a deep black kohl eye this one might not work for you. 
• PRICE : it retails for 245/-rs and is available at many beauty counters.
• CONCLUSION :will i repurchase it again.? umm, no . i would rather try something else.
