We’re well past Valentine’s Day but I’ve been feeling the love for quite some time thanks to It Cosmetics limited edition Love is the Foundation Brush. It released back in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month but my store received a random shipment of them recently and I couldn’t be happier to pick it up. Not only is the It Cosmetics Love is the Foundation Brush insanely beautiful but it’s so plush and soft that I just had to add it to my collection. I needed it!

No matter how big or small your makeup stash may be every gal needs a good set of brushes. Do you need to start out with 20 of them? Not really. Just the essentials are a good start!
Talk about a long week! After driving for around 26 hours all I wanted was to cuddle up in my bed and watch cartoons until I went to sleep. Unfortunately, we had a nasty thunderstorm here that knocked out the power for a day. The timing couldn’t have been worse. So terrible! Thank goodness everything is back up and running so I can blog again!
Building a brush collection is like building an army. You want to pick the most efficient soldiers who can get the job done and hold up well over the years. I’m no stranger to affordable brushes but it’s good to splurge on the staples every now and then. Some higher end brands use more expensive materials and techniques to ensure that your favorite brush lasts you a lifetime. So wouldn’t you rather arm yourself with tools that’ll stick around?
A girl can never have too many brushes! Yes, this is coming from a makeup junkie/hoarder. However, the right set of tools can really transform your look! That’s why I love experimenting with new brands and brush shapes. I took a chance on the Sonia Kashuk Pointed Foundation Brush years ago and I don’t regret it one bit!
We’re all familiar with the age old saying, “You get what you pay for.” Sometimes it isn’t always true but when it comes to Chanel it’s pretty dead on. Chanel just screams luxury and the Pinceau Poudre Powder Brush #1 is as luxurious as any brush can be. Take a look!
A girl can never have too many brushes! Especially cheek brushes! I love to highlight and contour to add definition to my small, chubby face so I’m always on the hunt for a good cheek brush. One of my favorites is the MAC 109 Small Contour Brush. It’s such great quality and very versatile!
When MAC announced they were teaming up with the fashion geniuses behind Proenza Schouler the beauty world went wild! Proenza Schouler is a New York based women’s fashion line known for their mix of bold colors and patterns so it was only right that MAC chose to partner with the brand for their couture collection this year. I’m not all that familiar with the brand but because this collection features limited edition packaging and gorgeous ombre blushes I’m all over it! Honestly, who could resist? Proenza Schouler won’t be available in stores until April 3rd but expect to see it popping up online within the next couple of weeks!
We all have that one brush that we love to use over and over. Doesn’t matter how many dupes we buy we always come back to that one brush. Not because the other ones aren’t any good! But that one brush just gets the job done and puts you in your zone. The MAC 168 Large Angled Contour is THAT kind of brush.
