What Makeup Brushes Should I Buy?

This is the second segiment for our makeup brush special! Last time we talked about is it worth it to buy separate makeup brushes. In this post we will talk about what makeup brushes to buy! You can buy a makeup brush kit or buy specific makeup brushes for specific jobs. Which ever you choose you should go with high quality. First check the bristles by running your hand through it. If they come out easily or feel coarse this is not a good sign. If it feels rough on your hand how will it feel on your face! Natural or synthetics depends on you and the makeup you use. If using liquid and cream foundation, cover-up etc, synthetic is easier to clean and can handle the liquid. If you have sensitive skin synthetics if not high quality could be too rough on your skin. However natural brushes can be very soft and is best for powder cosmetics. Please be aware that if you are sensitive or allergic to animal hair you may be allergic to natural makeup brushes. Also how you like your makeup look depends on the brush! If you like a dramatic deep colors for your makeup look a synthetic is ideal. If you prefer a lighter natural look of course natural makeup brushes are best. But with the amount of brushes out there what do all those makeup brushes do?

27 Days and Counting!

Howdy!

Whether we like it or not the holidays are here and we have less then a month until Christmas! (Yikes, insert mild panic attack here). Yesterday I was doing a little searching around the internet to get some ideas and came across some of the “hottest” gifts for this holiday season that I thought I’d share with you all (and hopefully give you some help!). So here are the items that definitely make my wishlist:

1. Super glam and fabulous cross body bags. I am currently in love with this elegant, yet gothic House of Harlow Rey Bag. Its perfect for an evening out or just for dressing up a simple outfit.

2. Funky smartphone cases! Now there is a good present idea. I wouldn’t mind this adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs case for my iPhone. Practical, but stylish at the same time. You can find other really great cases at Shopbop.com!

3. Cool stick-on wall decals. This is a great present because there are so many to choose from and they can really spruce up a room, especially if you have very neutral walls, and the person can choose where they want to put it! I especially love this tree decal from Urban Outfitters! It would definitely be a great addition!

4. Wrap watches are back on trend and can be the perfect accessory to any outfit! It’s even better if you are able to change the band and make it different each time you wear it. I’m 100% in need of this beautiful and charming watch from Le Mer.

5. Instant cameras! The polaroid is back and cool! And what better way to capture your memories and have them in and instant! I know I wouldn’t mind have this stylish Polaroid Instant Camera Pic300, in a variety of colours!

And of course what kind of spokeswoman would I be if I didn’t mention the fabulous accessory line, to any make-up line…all of the O La La make-up products. With a Camera Ready Primer, Perfect Pout Lip Gloss, Perfect Cover Up, Blotting Powder and Flik Razor these items make the perfect collection of make-up must haves! And of course they are all available for purchase online at www.olalalife.com!

Hope this little list helped! Bye for now!
