E.L.F. Kabuki Face Brush Review

Today I will do a short review on the studio line Kabuki Face Brush from E.L.F.
I ordered it on http://www.eyeslipsface.nl/ and it costed me €3,50.

I bought this kabuki brush to apply my Mac MSF or any other loose/compact powders.
I really like it. The first thing that I want to say is that this brush is so incredibly soft!
It distributes a perfect layer of product on the face.
I have been using it for about a month right now and it never shed on me, neither did it get out of shape.
Also it has a nice size.
For only €3,50 this is a very affordable, good quality brush. I will definitely repurchase.

MAC Must-Haves: MSF Natural (Mineralize Skin Finish)

Product: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish (MSF) Natural
Price: €25,00
Availability: part of the permanent line

MAC describes it as:
A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.


Why is it a must-have? (to me)
This product is a must have to me because it you can use in 2 different ways. You can use it over your foundation, like a setting-powder which gives you also a bit coverage or you can use this as your powder foundation, it has a light to medium coverage. It gives a beautiful natural finish. There are 8 colours available in the permanent line, the colour range goes from light to dark so there's something for everyone. I'm in the colour Medium Dark. I'm in love with this product, ever since I bought it I''ve been using it pretty much every day! I first apply some concealer to my problem areas, like my under eye circles and then I apply my MSF Natural all over my face using a big fluffy brush.

Do you own a MSF Natural? What shade are you?

NOTD: Twilight Nails?! Eyeko Vampira Polish

Eyeko might call it Vampira Polish for gothic nails but it reminds me of Twilight. Eyeko says: Dare to wear this lust-worthy glossy black lacquer dripping with blood red shimmer. The formula is different than Saucy Polish, this one is more sheer, I applied 2 coats but I tihnk I should have done 3. Still it is a beautiful vampy colour, it's a black with a lot of red glitters. I love it! You can order Eyeko nail polishes online at http://www.eyeko.com/, shipping to Europ is free and almost every week they have an offer of the week, you just have to type in a code and you will get a free gift.

Does this nail polish remind you of Twilight as well?

E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal Review

Goodmorning girls,

Ok for those of you who do not want to read any further, and just like to know my overall opinion on this product: I LOVE IT !! And I would definitely buy again! (if not; in my next E.L.F. order, whether this one is finished or not, I am going to buy 3 of these just in case it discontinues)!


For those of you who want more information + pics: keep on reading!;)

So first of all: I bought this at http://www.eyeslipsface.nl/ for (ONLY) €1,-.
The delivery is very quick, we recieved our orders within 3 or 4 days can't remember exactly.

                             
Do you see that beautiful glowy finish? I love it, After I apply my foundation I just put a little bit on my cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow. Make sure you don't use too much, a little goes a long way, you don't want to look greasy and oily!!
I just squeeze a tiny dot on my fingertip, and that is enough to highlight my face.

They say Lilac Petal is the official dupe for Benefit High Beam highlighter. I have never used it myself but I can tell you that the E.L.F. version is much cheaper!;)


This is what the packaging looks like.
When I first got it, the tube was much smaller that I expected it would be,
but as I mentioned a little goes a long way.

If you are planning to order more cosmetics from E.L.F. I really recommend you to give this product a try. =)

Have a beautiful day,
xxx Liza

NOTD: Eyeko Saucy Polish

Today's NOTD is Eyeko Saucy Polish, for naughty nails. I paid €4,50 for it. It's a more deeper red than the avarage bright red. This colour reminds me a bit of ketchup, that's probably why it's called Saucy Polish. It has a cream finish and applies really easy, the formula is quite thick so it's almost opaque in just one coat. I'm wearing 2 coats of Eyeko Saucy Polish over a basecoat.

Do you like bright red nails?

I absolutely do! Red is my favourite colour.
