My Holy Grail Make-up Brushes

How is everyone doing? 

I know I have not blogged in over 3 months. I have been so busy with Cosmetology School & working. Hopefully, I can try to get back into the swing of things...

I wanted to talk about my Holy Grail Make-up brushes that I use every day. 

I swear by them. 

I'm obviously a HUGE fan of Real Techniques & ELF. Both very affordable brands that work well. You get more bang for your buck. 

This brush is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I can not rave enough about this brush. I bought it at Wal-Mart (of all places) for only $10. 

I use this brush to contour with my liquid foundation, apply my concealer & blend my blush. It really blends so smooth! 

This powder brush from ELF is another awesome bargain brush from Wal-Mart that costs only $3!!! I have used this brush for years & I have no complaints. 

Another Real Techniques brush that I bought from Wal-Mart. This actually came in a set with the 3 other amazing brushes for only $15. I use this brush to blend my eyeshadows together on my crease & brow bone. 

This brush is WOW!!! I use this brush to apply my eyeshadow on my crease in a "Windshield Wiper" motion. This was also in the Real Techniques starter set from Wal-Mart. 

I use this brush for shading & blending under my eyes & to achieve that "Smoky Eye" look. I bought this brush for only $5.99 at Wal-Mart. 

The last two brushes are also from Real Techniques. The brow brush came in the starter set from Wal-Mart. I use it to apply highlight under my brows & also to apply Brow Pomade on my Eyebrows.

I bought the Silicone Eyeliner brush from Ulta Beauty for $5.99. This brush is amazing because it's made from Silicone which means it won't bend or seperate like a normal Eyeliner brush that is constantly used a lot to dip into Cream Eyeliners. 

These are my Holy Grail make-up brushes that I absolutely adore. 

I hope that you will also love these brushes like I do! =)

Hard Candy Eyeshadow Palettes

I thought I would give my Hard Candy Palettes some love & much needed use. I bought these a few weeks ago & I have yet to use them...

I wanted to do a quick & easy eye make-up look with the palettes. This is what I came up with...

I used NYX Cosmetics jumbo eye pencil in milk as a base first on my eyelid. I then used the Natural Beauty Eyeshadow palette on my brow bone...

I used the 3rd eyeshadow & the 7th eyeshadow from the Left...

As my cut crease I used the beautiful blue & purple eyeshadow from the Aphrodisiac Eyeshadow palette...

On the bottom I used the black eyeshadow from the Aphrodisiac palette as a eyeliner & I smoked it out with my Angled brow brush by Real Techniques.

My favorite brushes ever!!! (Affordable)

As my winged double eyeliner I used my Holy Grail product ELF Cosmetics Cream Eyeliner in Black...I applied it with my fine liner brush by Real Techniques.

Volia a simple but colorful & bold make-up look! I would recommend these eyeshadow palettes. They are highly pigmented & vivid for the price! A great bargain & I'm all about a great bargain ladies! These were $6 each at Wal-Mart. 

I hope ya'll like! Thanks for stopping by!

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Lipsticks

I wanted to share 4 new lipsticks that I recently added to my collection...

They are from Maybelline's Colorsensational Vivid Lipstick line. 

They are bright, beautiful, highly pigmented & of course vivid! 

So beautiful! 

Here are the swatches: 

I'm in love! Such a great drugstore brand. 

I bought these at Wal-Mart for $7.50 each. 

Great bargain & Beautiful color pay off!

Thanks for stopping by!

Real Techniques Brushes

Wal-Mart has really stepped up their make-up game!

They are (finally) selling Real Techniques Makeup Brushes. (YAY!!!) They are the best make-up brushes in my opinion. 

The your eyes enhanced brushes kit was only $14.95 compared to $18 at Ulta Beauty Store.

I'll definitely be buying more for my 

make-up kit. 

I highly recommend these make-up brushes ladies!

Vanity Tour

I just wanted to show my little vanity play area where I store my make-up. 

(My little piece of heaven) =]

This is where I store most of my lipsticks. I bought this at T.J. Maxx for $17. I need another one! Lol. 

 

Lipsticks! 

More Lipsticks! =]

Lipsticks & Some of my eyeliners

 

My cute Hello Kitty mirror! I bought this at Wal-Mart for $12. 

My eyeliners & make-up brushes! 

My eyeshadow palettes, primer & where I store my make-up sponges so they don't get dirty or dusty. 

More of my make-up brushes. 

 

6-Drawer set that I bought on sale for $30 at K-Mart. It is no Alex drawers from Ikea but it will do for now! =) 

Some of my eyeshadows...

More of my eyeshadows & my Color Tattoos. 

My blush drawer. 

An overall view of my little make-up area. It is slowly growing. I need more room! 

Lol. A girl can never have enough make-up! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Statement Bauble Necklaces

I saw these beauties for the first time at Wal-Mart last night. I wanted all of them! They were all so beautiful! 

But, I refrained and I only bought one Bauble necklace. It was so hard to choose! 

They were all only $10! Such a great deal. If you are a big fan of beautiful necklaces like I am then run on into your nearest Wal-Mart before they're all gone! I hope everyone has a Fabulous Weekend!
