The Best Foundation Brush... EVER!!!

This is a quick post to tell you all about my favourite foundation brush, which literally makes my foundation flawless no matter if it's cream, liquid or powder foundation. The Sigma- Flat Kabuki F80 has be my favourite brush ever, the densely packed hairs allow you to get a flawless application without using too much product. The brush can be ordered from http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Sigma_Flat_Top_Synthetic_Kabuki_F_80_p/f80.htm but can only be purchased online.

                                       (Mine is a bit dirty as I use it daily)

A great alternative to the Sigma F0 is the ELF Powder Brush, it is not as densely packed but will still give that flawless look and is way more affordable. Similar to Sigma brushes ELF products can only be purchased online if you live in the UK, but is available in USA drugstores. The ELF Powder Brush can be purchased from http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/brushes/powder-brush/invt/84003

Favourite Drugstore Concealers (for yellow undertones)

Concealers is one of my favourite make up products to buy, especially since I like that whole illuminated look, but sometimes it can be hard to find good coverage concealers at an affordable price. Here are some of my favourite drugstore concealers for yellow undertones that are very affordable.

The Revlon Photoready concealer (shade medium 004) has to be one of my favourite concealers of all time, it is great for those with yellow undertones and is super creamy, high coverage and blends in really well. I find this concealer great to use on my dark circles and has an illuminating effect.

The MUA concealer stick is great for those on a budget as it is only £1 from Superdrug. This product is similar to the Revlon Photoready concealer, but is a bit harder to blend as it is thicker but has good coverage.

 The Body Shop Concealer pencil perfectly makes my skintone (I am NC42) and is amazing for covering up blemishes. This concealer is very creamy and has really good coverage, the only downfall is as it is a jumbo pencil you also need to purchase the body shop sharpener and sharpening can waste product.

The Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour concealer is a great illuminating concealer with full coverage. This is a liquid concealer, but can set very quickly so should be blended in as soon as applied. Once the concealer is set it lasts all day.

Unfortunately I cannot show the packaging for the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer as the writing has completely warn off. This concealer comes in the same packaging as the Maybelline Super Stay Concealer and is extremely similar in consistency, but allows you to have more time to blend it in as it does no dry as fast.

Thank you

Nude Nails....

I know its summer and everyone is into bright nail varnishes, but here in London although the temperature is nice and warm the sun is failing to make an appearnace. I have been absolutely been loving this nude nail varnish by Nails inc in 'Basil Street' . Its a nice muted nude with pink undertones and looks great all skin tones and length of nails. It lasted on my nails for 5-7 days without chipping and looks great with two coats and no top coat. As you can see from my bottle it is deary loved, and a staple nail varnish in my collection.
