Inglot Brush Set (14 count)

Inglot Brush Set (14 count)

I wanted to finally have a brush set of my own that were full in size. I have been using the MAC mini brush sets for over 10 years and finally decided to upgrade, but didn't want to pay full price. I thought that this set would be good for starters and so far it has everything I need. It comes in a great zip up holder perfect for traveling.

BeautyBlender 101

BeautyBlender 

For over a year, I had a beauty blender and noticed that more types would come out, but never knew the difference. After some research (Sephora.com) and here is what I found...

Did you know?

• You can use your beauty blender for eye shadow application 
• You can use it dry, but works best (in my opinion) when wet

1. Original (Pink)

• Ensures impeccable, streak-free application with minimum product waste 
• Use it with primers, foundations, powders, cream blushes, and any other complexion product

2. Pure (White)

• Ensure optimal application of the most advanced skincare products
• Use it with complexion products, serums, eye treatments, moisturizers, makeup removers, and any other skincare product

3. Pro (Black)

• The perfect application method for darker-toned products that would be difficult to rinse clean from a lighter colored applicator 
• Use with complexion products, long-wear makeup, and self-tanners for flawless results

4. Mini (Green)

• This makeup blender lets you perfect makeup application in the inner eye corners, brow bones, sides of nose, cheeks, and more
• 1/4th the size of the original sponge, these non-disposable micro.mini sponges are the perfect tool for concealing small areas
• Simply wet them so that they increase in size so that you can highlight and contour your face and ensure less makeup waste

5. Seasonal Colors:

Purple: Just like the pink, but a limited color 

Red: Just like the pink, but a limited color
