PRE-MAKEUP BEAUTY TIPS FOR THE BRIDE TO BE

Hi Folks!

I’ve encountered it many times, brides-to-be more often than not, sit in the makeup chair expecting miracles to be made with their skin.  Unfortunately, based on the state of the skin, it can actually take longer to create that soft transformation.  Generally, their schedules can become so hectic that so little time is devoted to their skin to create a soft, smooth skin surface for a makeup artist needs to easily create that transformation.

QUICK LIST OF MAKEUP HAUL

Hi Folks


I just got a new makeup haul that I am excited to try out especially the new Sigma 'Dry and Shape' but before I delve into that one why don't I just explain all that I purchased?!


PARIAN SPIRIT CLEANER

 


I saw this reviewed by Makeup by Ren Ren (www.makeupbyrenren.com) and I must say I was intrigued as I was looking for an appropriate cleaner that was strong enough to get rid of the hard to reach gunk that settled within my brushes.  I ordered two bottles from alconeco.com - the 1st one is the 2 fl oz and the other is the 16fl oz.  After a very quick trial on my lip and concealer brushes, I really like...so look out for a  more in-depth review later.


DISPOSABLE LIP BRUSHES


I currently have disposable lip brushes from crownbrush.com however I really didn't fancy the shape of them as the bristles opened out into a triangular shape and I prefer tapered.  As a result of the shape, the lip colors were being applied without any real control and it required a very firm hand which obviously irritated me after awhile.  So as I was buying the Parian Cleaners, I stumbled on the lip brushes from alconeco and the second pic shows (sort of) how tapered the bristles are and let me tell you, I am already in love.  I have a gig tomorrow so I will definitely be giving them a test run.

 

BLINC HEATED LASH CURLER


I finally bit the bullet after being mortally afraid of using the big clunky eyelash curlers and decided to purchase a heated version from BLINC INC.  It looks and feels so easy to maneuver in my hands - which are small by the way - and the packaging was kinda cute.  It came in an enclosed case with directions (mucho necessita) and it has a button to switch on with a light that turns from red to green (I think).  

 

SIGMA DRY & SHAPE 


This was what I was waiting on for 2 weeks...I was extremely tired of washing over 10 big, dense brushes and after 12 hours, they were still damp and see me on a gig praying the sun drys them while on the way.  So I found some brush guards but still I'm a little 'eh' over them.  Yes they helped in keeping some shape but if not done properly, they could lean towards a particular side lol.  Anwayz, I had seen the Dry & Shape and was to say the least, intrigued.  


Just from the look of it, I love the size, it can fit 12 brushes comfortably of different sizes and as I am typing this, I am doing a test on it to see if it lives up to the hype. So stay tuned for that tomorrow.
