EcoTools Review

I just uploaded a review to YouTube on the EcoTools 6-pc-brush set, which includes a blush brush, an eye shading brush, an eyeliner brush, a lash and brow groomer, a concealer brush, and a brush roll.

Price: 4.5 out of 5; I picked it up for $10. But it was on sale. Not sure what the normal price is.
Packaging: 5 out of 5; it's environmentally conscious; I really like the packaging. The reusable storage pouch is rather cute!
Performance: 3.5 out of 5; The blush and concealer brushes are my faves. I don't have much to say about the lash/brow groomer or liner brush. I don't use a liner brush that much. The shadow brush leaves something to be desired. It is better suited as a concealer or cream shadow brush.
Overall: 3.5 out of 5; great starter set.

Playin' with my new liner brush

Random photos of me playin' with my new liner brush that I just got at TJ Maxx. Thought I'd post 'em since I didn't do a FOTD. (I didn't wear much makeup today anyway.)

LOLOLOL! Wacky pic of both eyes! Looks crazy!!!

Face Secrets Brushes Review

As you know, I purchased two Face Secrets brushes from Sally's. The Eye Contour brush is made from pony hair and the Concealer/Liner is synthetic. I used them today. The Concealer/liner brush, I feel works best as an eyeliner brush. It's thin and tapered which makes it great for eyeliner, reaching in small places like the corner of your eye and under the lashes. I LOVE the Eye Contour brush. It's my first natural brush. What a huge difference! It's so fluffy and soft. I just went and bid on goat hair brushes on E-Bay today. I hope I win. I love natural brushes. I can't believe how soft it is!

I definitely recommend the Eye Contour brush. It's a great brush for only $4.99. :-) As a concealer brush, I have another brush that's better. I don't like my concealer brushes to be pointed, but rather to be flat and rounded like a tiny foundation brush. I will continue to use the Concealer/Liner brush an eyeliner brush, though.

Haul: Dollar Tree and Sally's

A/N: I just uploaded pix, so you can see everything. :-) 1:12 AM 7/22/08

Like I said, I went to Sally's today to pick up some stuff. While I was out, I stopped by the dollar store as well, because I heard they had some decent L.A. Colors make-up. For a dollar!

So, I went to Dollar Tree first:

I got two L.A. Colors eyeshadow palettes. They must've been discontinued because I can't find them one the L.A. Colors website. I got "eye candy" and "precious." Eye Candy has champagne, teal, a coral-y rust color, hot pink, dark lilac, and aqua. Precious has a beige, caramel, chocolate, gold, rust, and burgundy. They're all a little shimmery, not too much. They're fun colors that I haven't played with before.



Next, I got Aziza Rocks Liquid Eyes in Easy Teal. This must've also been discontinued. I guess that's how the dollar store works. So if you click on these links and they don't work, it's because the only place I can find pix is on e-bay!!!

Next, so exciting, I found some Physician's Formula! Yay!!! First, Illuminating Eye Shadow in Classic Crystal. It's shaped like a cameo locket with the cameo picture pressed into the shadow. I'm excited to try this one, it's shimmery and very beautiful. Second, Virtual Eyes Multi-Reflective Eye Gloss in Eye-Tech. When looking for a link, I found some bad review. I'll have to try it for myself. When I get new make-up, I'll review it for you guys. Of course, if I get it at the dollar store, it doesn't matter, since it's been discontinued. lol.

Next, I got a small make-up bag. Nothing fancy.

I got some small hair clips. The link isn't the clips, but just to show you what kind I'm talking about. These ones are pretty small. Made for children, actually. But they're fun colors. Pink, purple, yellow, green, etc. 16 clips altogether. Very cute and very good for holding my hair back.




My main purpose in going to Sally Beauty Supply was to get a set of hair coloring accessories. I got a Color Trak Tools kit that has the highlighting cap, a combination frosting needle/mixing spatula, a color applicator brush, a CAPE!, and disposable gloves. All this for only $3.49. AWESOME. Second, I picked up some Beyond The Zone Frizz Zapper: Anti Frizz Serum. I can't wait to try this one out! I almost left the store before I remembered that I needed a couple brushes. I picked up Face Secrets Concealer/Liner brush and Eye Contour Brush.



So, I've got a bunch of new stuff and can't wait to try it out!!!! I'll let you know how it goes.
