My "go to" makeup brushes...

As I was cleaning my brushes, I came up with a great blog post idea... My "go to" makeup brushes.

So here goes....from left to right...

A small contour brush, please note, I don't wear foundation every day... I use this brush to apply bronzer/blush/highlighter. I've had this brush for years... Can't even remember where I got it from... It's super soft and fluffy.

The next brush is an eyeshadow brush. I use this one to pack the colour onto my eyelids. I think I got this one, a while back in the sale from wilkos.

Next is a blender brush, I paid £1.50 for it from Bodycare (a toiletry shop). It's great for blending eyeshadow. 

The orange brush, I've had for ages... It's great for blending eyeshadow... It came in a pack, this is the only brush I have left. I use this one when creating a smokey eye, I use a circular motion to blend out the harsh lines from my crease.

The next brush I use to fill in my brows. Followed by the gold stem brush (second brush from the left), which I use to even out the brow powder. 

Next, is a brush I brought of eBay as part if a set. It's meant to be a lip brush but I use it to apply gel liner. You can create a perfect wing with this brush.

The last brush, I only use this when I apply foundation and concealer. I brought this from Primark for £1. It's a good brush concealer, one of the better ones from Primark. 

Wow, that was a quick post... Lol. 

Recent Purchases....

Once again, I have been away for such a long time... I do apologise, but I have been fasting during the month of Ramadan and to be honest I wasn't really using any products that I could blog about. 

But now that I'm back, I thought I'd write about a few bits that I have picked up. 

Firstly, I have picked up two Rimmel "lasting finish 1000 kisses" lip tints. In shades "nothing but nude" and "carry in cherry". These are like felt tip pens for your lips, they go on wet but dry to a matt finish. Do not lick your lips when the product is still wet, it tastes horrid.

Secondly, I picked up a smoothing facial scrub by the the brand Simple. It's an exfoliating scrub and is fragrance free. Apart from that I can't say much about it as I haven't been using it for long. 

Thirdly, I picked the "egg makeup sponge" from Primark, don't bother buying this. I know it was super cheap but it's the same as a regular sponge. 

Lastly, I brought Skinlogy, cleansing facial wipes, I use these to clean my makeup brushes... They work a treat. I don't want to use alcohol on my brushes and over washing them ruins the brush, so I use these. Its amazing how much product you can remove from the brushes using these.

I've been thinking for starting an OOTD section on here for hijabi's, let me know what you think... 

Anyway, that's it for now.

O O O, for all my muslimah sisters out there, Eid Mubarak. 

Makeup Revolution

Recently my twitter news feed is full of tweets about a new budget brand, Makeup Revolution. 

When I first noticed this brand I took a look at the website and was impressed at the prices. The lipsticks start from just £1 and the palettes (which are dead ringers for Urban Decays Naked range so I hear) are £4.. I finally got round to  ordering a couple of pieces this morning. Can not wait for them to come though in the post. 

Makeup revolution seem to be similar to Superdrug's MUA brand, which I must say is an awesome brand. The products are super affordable and are worth buying .... I foresee exciting beauty blogging times ahead.

I hope I love Makeup Revolution as much as I love MUA.
