Highlight For Less

Highlighting can make a big difference to your everyday makeup, it can make you look more youthful and glowy. I found a product in my local Poundland which has become one of my everyday staples, it is the Chit Chat Highlighter. The first thing I love about this highlighter is that it is a dupe for the benefit high beam! The packaging is also very very similar to the benefit one. As for the product it is a nice pinky shade so it is not as harsh as a white highlight and you get 12ml which is quite a lot as you don't need to use much. I highly recommend anyone to get this highlight and if it isn't for you well you only paid £1 after all!

Inexpensive Brush Guards

I wanted to share this inexpensive way of keeping your makeup brushes clean and protected. I found this metre of uncut brush guard on eBay for £1 odd free post, I don't have the link to the seller but it was easy to find. The brush guards remind me of those "Chinese finger traps" and it stretches so it will fit any size brush, unfortunately it doesn't fit smaller brushes like eye or concealer brushes as it just slides back off. I have some pictures below of what I did, it's really easy, I just cut it size, slipped it over the handle and slid it up over the brush head.

First Impressions On The e.l.f Makeup Brushes

This blog post is going to be about my first impressions on the e.l.f brushes that I purchased recently. I ordered off their website www.eyeslipsface.co.uk which was easy to do as you can use paypal, their delivery for UK standard was reasonable and came quite quickly. The ones that I bought where from their standard range at £1.50 each which is amazing value for makeup brushes. They have a studio line which is a little more expensive but only by a few pounds so still really good value. I got the concealer brush, eye crease brush, blending eye brush, bronzing brush and the fan brush (in order of the picture bellow).

 

 

They feel good quality for the price and I really like the white handles which look professional. The two eye brushes shed the littlest amount but that was expected for £1.50, the bronzing brush and fan brush have not shed yet but they did need neatening with a pair of scissors and they aren't the softest of brushes but overall I must say I am happy with them and I think for anyone just starting out with makeup or just someone who doesn't want to spend a lot on makeup brushes these will be perfect for you.
