Multi-purpose brushes




 
 
So, who doesn't love a good ol' multi purpose makeup brush? There is nothing worse than when you are winding down on a Sunday evening  and you have about one million brushes that all have to be cleaned. Not only does it take forever (or at least how it feels for me) but afterward I always find that my hand always goes pale where I have been buffing all the brushes in the same spot! To save all of this trauma (dramatic you think) use multi purpose brushes *cheering and clapping!* 
These are Real Technique brushes for anyone who didn't know. If you didn't, where have you been seriously?! You can't buy these separately they come in sets. The Contour Brush comes in a face set which you can Buy Here . These are part of the Core Collection. You can also purchase the Deluxe Crease Brush Here which is part of the Starter kit. These links are to amazon.  
I think that these brushes can be used for much more things other than contouring and blending. I like to use the contour brush to push powder down the centre of my face and under my eyes to lock products into place, brush a primer and loose powder over my eye lids before shadows and obviously contouring. I like to use the Deluxe Crease Brush to blend in concealer under my eyes, apply highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones, blend in product around my lips (Just in case anything looks cakey) and obviously blending products in the crease and lid.
 
Do you have any good/favourite multipurpose brushes that you have? xx

Happy Pamper set by Soap & Glory

 






 

 
Hello every one,
for my birthday present off my lovely friend Emily I received this beautiful soap and glory set and I wanted to share it with you.
 
This set includes travel or in my opinion hand bag size The Righteous Butter and Clean On Me . These two previous links are to buy the products separately full size and This Link is to buy the travel size set of these two products. The Clean On Me is a shower gel but in this case is used as soap to wash your hands. The Righteous Butter is a body butter however, is used as a hand cream.
The scent of these two products is the of these two products is the original pink rose and bergarnot fragrance. This is favourite soap and glory scent, in fact this is the only scent I actually like to use. I find the other ones too strong and bold. I think this one is very floral and light. I find the others a little too overpowering.
Like I said earlier, this was a birthday present off my friend Emily. She paired this gift set along with some other smaller things like comfy socks. I would recommend to do this if you were giving this to a friend or family member as a gift. I appreciated this gift very much especially with the socks (even if it does sound weird) it was like a little pamper set.
If you wanted to treat your self this would also be a good idea. I wouldn't buy this to keep at home as well, you can do this with any products. If you were to buy this I would recommend keeping this in your hand bag and maybe switching up the clean on me for a hand sanitizer just in case you aren't close to a tap.
