Uviedol som, že je to $ 120?
Udelené, pretože táto cena nerobte len kompaktný. Dostanete skúsenosti, pretože Armani zabalila vrchol kompaktného s hodvábnym mušlínom, na ktorom je tlač priamo z Armaniskej dráhy.

A satén, mauve-ish, sivastý béžová; Matte Black, ako aj špaškové očné tiene, okrem priesvitného riešenia prášku, cítiť sa takmer ako krémové vankúše …

Dobré veci, ale je to HELLA PRESYY. S najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou s ženami, ktoré obedujú, rovnako ako tiež, aby sa v mysli Armani Krása.

Vaša priateľská komunitná krása,

Call me crazy, but I have a routine of thinking about habits.

Is that weird? Like, I notice things about myself, and then I spend a fair amount of time pondering whether it’s just me, or whether everyone else has the same quirks, and because I have a job that involves a lot of long-term quiet focus, my mind unavoidably wanders…

REKLAMA

“Am I the only one who does [INSERT QUIRK HERE]?” Or, “I wonder how she feels about [INSERT PONDERABLE topic HERE]?” Or, “Why would the writers of The walking Dead play with my emotions like that?!”

Of course, because I absolutely adore makeup, I a lot of typically find myself thinking about what’s hot now, or how we wear what we wear, or why we wear what we wear. For instance, where do the trends come from?? It’s sort of a chicken/egg situation, right? because I think you could argue that often the trends come directly from cosmetics companies (color correcting), and often they come from us (strobing).

Anyway…now that I’m here helping Karen (and Tabs, who’s a real taskmaster, BTW!) on makeup and appeal Blog, I want to chat with you about something that’s been rolling around in my noggin.

Here’s my question: What’s your “beauty comfort zone,” so to speak, when it pertains to lipstick colors?

My makeup comfort zone is pretty big where lipstick is concerned!
And I don’t just indicate standard lipstick. I’m also talking gloss, glitter, liquid lipstick (because it seems like errbody is talking about liquid lipstick ideal now) — you name it.

MAC x Halsey, that masterpiece of a grey lipstick, got me on this subject, because as wearable as it is for a grey lipstick, my brain automatically said, “Nope, that is not something you can wear everyday.”

Later after I thought about it some more, I wondered…why? Where was the girl who at 15 made a decision “I’m going to wear bright red lipstick to high school!” and did it fearlessly (despite the whispers in the hallway)?

Where was the girl who made a decision that bright purple lipstick was absolutely fine in the office on a Tuesday, just because?

My utmost neon coral, MAC’s Giambattista Valli Margherita (LE).
When I want bruised plum, I always turn to Giorgio Armani Plum 609.
A favorite “purple-pink,” YSL Rouge Volupté shine 19 Fuchsia in Rage.
We’re always told that one of the best things about makeup is that there “are no rules,” and while this is absolutely true, I think that policies do typically come from inside ourselves, a lot more than from anywhere else…at least where I’m concerned.

NYX released a absolutely amazing lipstick called Amethyst, and I want that baby bad, but the same little voice inside me that said that MAC x Halsey isn’t wearable is now telling me that I shouldn’t get Amethyst.

The irony here is that I consider myself to be exceptionally open-minded where lipstick is concerned!

I love bright pops of neon coral, deep blackened plums and neon purples. I love checking out how the vastly different colors change the way my overall makeup looks and brighten up an otherwise basic outfit.

So what’s so different about grey…or even indigo?

So, ladies, now it’s your turn. I love writing about (and commenting on!) things like this, because what might be “risky territory” for me could be something you’re exceptionally at ease with.

Or, you might know of a way to make a color that I’m frightened by absolutely approachable for day-to-day wear.

Let’s chat about it. meet you in the comments.

The brushes + the makeup bag = perfection!
Now, I believed the Zoeva total clean set brushes were/are gorgeous, however I was floored by the brushes in the Sonia Kashuk clean Couture Brush set ($21.99)!

The brushes in this four-piece set all have vibrant floral-print handles as well as coordinating bristles, as well as they’re a sight to behold, however looks are nothing when it concerns brushes. What I want to understand is exactly how do they work? Do they make it simpler to apply my makeup? Does my makeup look much better when I utilize them? Pozrime sa…

REKLAMA

The view from above…
The Sonia Kashuk clean Couture clean set includes a domed powder/blush clean (purple), synthetic contour/buffing clean (orange), tapered powder/highlight clean (pink) as well as a duo fiber foundation/concealer clean (yellow), as well as I believe we can all agree that these are some very adorable brushes.

Are they as great as they look?

Well, the domed powder/blush clean works well as a blush brush. It’s a bit smaller as well as much more dense than what I generally reach for, however it picks up pigment well as well as is very, very smooth.

Here’s a comparison of it to other blush brushes in my collection:

The Sonia Kashuk domed powder/blush clean compared to the Zoeva Luxe Cheek surface clean as well as the Zoeva Luxe highlight Brush
The Sonia Kashuk domed powder/blush clean compared to the Zoeva Luxe Cheek surface clean as well as the Zoeva Luxe highlight Brush.
The Sonia Kashuk domed powder/blush clean is larger than the Zoeva Luxe highlight clean however smaller than the Zoeva Luxe Cheek surface Brush, so it’s on the little size for a blush brush. That being said, it does a fine task of applying my blush.

And because the powder/blush clean works so well, I had high really hopes for the synthetic contour/buffing clean (orange). Unfortunately, I was dissatisfied with this one. The bristles are extremely dense, as well as the clean is quite small, so I don’t like it for buffing in my foundation. Also, after washing the clean just once, a few of the orange color bled…

I don’t contour, however it may work well for blending in cream contour products, because the clean is so extremely soft.  

Here’s a comparison to the other buffing brushes in my stash:

Top to bottom: Zoeva Silk surface Brush, genuine methods Buffing Brush, Sonia Kashuk synthetic Contour/Buffing clean as well as Sonia Kashuk Duo Fiber Foundation/Concealer Brush
Sadly, the duo fiber foundation/concealer clean (yellow) doesn’t work well for me either. I discover it a bit as well big to smoothly blend my under-eye concealer, as well as as well little to effectively blend my foundation. I choose a makeup sponge for both tasks, however like the other brushes in the collection, the bristles are extremely soft.

Lastly, the tapered powder/highlight brush.

Wow, it’s extremely fluffy, so it doesn’t pick up as well much product, as well as after washing, it loses a few of its shape. So it’s not the very best clean for exactly applying a highlight, however it’s still great for dusting powder all over.

Sonia Kashuk Tapered Powder/Highlight clean compared to the Zoeva Luxe deal with Definer Brush
The Sonia Kashuk clean isn’t as dense as the Zoeva Luxe deal with Definer clean as well as not rather as soft, however it still feels comfortable on my skin (and it’s less than $4 as part of this set).

Another look at the Sonia Kashuk brushes compared to similar brushes
Overall, I believe these brushes are good, however not great. I do believe they’re extremely great for the price.

The purple blush clean as well as pink powder clean are rather good, however the orange contour clean as well as yellow foundation clean are misses for me. But if you like utilizing synthetic brushes for contour and/or foundation, they may work much better for you.  

REKLAMA

I can’t reject that I like the packaging.

The Sonia Kashuk clean Couture clean set is offered now at Target for $22, as well as the very adorable makeup bag shown is offered for $16.

What do you believe are the very best brushes available now?
