e.l.f. Brushes I have been Loving !

The cheek blushes that I have been loving lately are from the very affordable US brand e.l.f., which now is easily available at Kmart. Yay for that !

I was looking for a brush specifically for cream products and after hearing Emily from Beauty Broadcast go on and on about the e.l.f Small Stipple brush, I decided to give it a go. I love this brush for cream blushes. It is good for both the placement of the blush and blending it. I do sometimes dab the blush with fingers and use the brush only for blending. The size of blush is perfect and really prevents from clown cheeks. After using a lot of bigger blush brushes, I have been really enjoying small brushes for blush, it makes it just so easier and more controlled.

After reading Lena's post about the e.l.f. Studio Blush brush and how she liked it for pigmented blushes, got me wanting the brush. I bought it thinking I would be able to get some use of my pigmented blushes but never got around to using them. However, I have been really liking it as my go to blush brush. 

It picks the perfect amount of blush. Again, the blush being small, allows for controlled application. If you are scared of having big patches of blush on your cheeks, then both these brushes are for you. These are available at Kmart for 8 AUD.

Have you tried any of these brushes ? If you have any e.l.f brush recommendations, let me know in the comments below.

Loving Now - Chocolate Bar, Wings, Brows, Kiehl's and more !

In today's post I share with you things I have been loving lately.

I have been really enjoying Coconut Oil to remove my eye makeup. Using coconut oil to smear my makeup all over and having panda eyes at the end of the day is the most satisfying feeling ever. I love how easily coconut oil removes my makeup and also conditions my lashes. I did a post in the past about Ways to use Coconut Oil. 

I have previously mentioned the Kiehl's Patchouli & Freshrose perfume HERE. I have recently started using the shower gel from this range. Ahhh, its absolutely gorgeous, such a fresh, rosy and relaxing fragrance.  

I have been obsessing over Essie Enuff is Enuff and have worn it a lot this spring. I adore this shade. Check the Manicure Monday HERE. 

There has been a new addition to my makeup routine, I have started doing my brows. I have been using MAC Espresso for the same and it is the perfect color for me. 

If you checked my recent USA Haul, you may have seen I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I have been using it non stop since then. It is one gorgeous beauty.

I am loving the Loreal False Lash Wings mascara. It separates, adds volume, lengthens and keeps my lashes curled all day. 

I have been loving this elf Blush brush, its smaller than the other blush brushes I own and makes for a precise application.

USA Beauty Haul - Sephora, MAC and Drugstore !

Today is an exciting day as I am sharing with you my haulage from US. My husband was travelling for work and I obviously took advantage and hauled some stuff..

Sephora and MAC

From Sephora, I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette and Kat Von D Tattoo Eye liner. I got some samples free Benefit They're Real mascara, Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline EDP, NEST White Sandalwood EDP, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo.

I bought MAC Peaches Sheertone blush and MAC Impassioned Lisptick. 

Drugstore Goodies

I bought the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Eye Palette as it has a good mix of neutrals and a bit of color and their eyeshadows are really good quality. I also bought the elf Eyelid Primer and elf blush brush. I have heard such good things about this Dove Hair Therapy Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo and so wanted to try it. 

Hope you enjoyed the haul. Have you tried any of the featured products ?
