Update/ Tmi tag

Hey everyone I know I've been kinda m.i.a. on my blog but I am back. :) I've been focusing a lot on my youtube channel and I've been meaning to blog but I kinda haven't had the chance since my boyfriend was visiting me for my birthday week. Now that he is gone I will have time to focus on my blog and channel, it's kinda a bittersweet thing if you ask me.

Anyway, I have been planning future blog post as well as slowly testing out products to review for y'all, trust me there is a lot of reviews coming.

Crown Brush HD Set Review

Hello my lovely angels! I'm so sorry for being gone so long, right now I am staying in Houston and my laptop is currently getting fixed so I have to use my brother's computer. I have been so busy visiting with family members that I haven't had time to use the computer but during this time I have had time to test new products for you.

 

The crown HD cosmetic brush set with mirror, tweezers,and case are vegan friendly and perfect for applying high definition cosmetics: liquids, creams, and powder. The set contains six brushes which are made with high quality synthetic fiber.

The brushes in this set are a pro powder, tapered blush, deluxe contour, chisel shadow, crease blending and detail liner. The brushes are so soft and pick up the right amount of product. They apply effortlessly. Also you don't have to use high definition products if your like me and don't have any. These brushes make me feel like a covergirl.. not really but my makeup looks amazing!

My favorite brushes are everything except the powder brush. The pro powder brush is great but I always prefer a stippling brush if anything I wish that was included in this set. However, the brush is still good and this set is just awesome. I definitely must rate it a must have.

Always remember when it comes to apply makeup having the right tools is what helps you achieve that flawless/glamorous look. So brushes are definitely really important! This set is perfect for beginners or pros. Also did I mention that this set comes in three different colors? You can get it in white with blue bristles, purple or orange. This set retails for $27.95 and is on sale for $16.77.  For more information or just to look at the sets be sure to click here.


*Disclosure: This product was sent to me by iFabbo for reviewing purposes this is my honest opinion.

Nikki's Magic Wand Review

Hello my loves today I'm going be reviewing Nikki's Magic Wand. This is definitely a unique product and is so desperately needed for makeup lovers.

Here's what Nikki has to say about this tool.
" The sleek smooth flexible tip magically allows you to reach where normal applicators cannot, whether the tube is square, round, thick or thin, the wand allows you to reach the bottom, sides & shoulders of any tube so you can finally reach all you makeup." (From the box)

Let's be honest girl's, have you ever hated when you go to us your favorite lip gloss the applicator can't reach the rest and all you can do is stare at the last of you last of the product and then just throw it away. I know that is definitely my reason for not buying lip glosses any more.

Nikki has definitely answered very makeup junkie/artist's dream with this innovative tool that allows you to reach the last 15-20% of your makeup. The wand is a simple rubber tip it's very flexible and works like a squeegee. It's soft enough to apply any makeup directly to your face and it's so easy to clean. It comes in a stylish sleek tube.

This product is definitely a must have for every makeup lover. I love it, ever since I'v received it I've been using it for my lip gloss and I definitely have been spreading the word about this among my family and friend.
Have I sparked your interest about this product? If so check it out here. Also if you would like to gt in contact with Nikki here are here links: twitter  & facebook, and don't forget to tell her that I sent you.

That is it for this review and a huge thank you to Nikki for bringing this amazing product into my life! <3 I will talk to you guys soon, have a wonderful day.
