Product review: Unveil whisking Brush

Hi Beauties,

Today I am reviewing the Unveil whisking brush (I call it Kabuki brush anyways). I got this brush as a gift sometimes last year, though I have used some products from the Unveil makeup range, I didn't know much about their brushes but of course since it came as a gift, I gladly received it and decided to use it as a personal tool.

PACKAGING

It comes in a transparent  bag, has a metallic silver handle with name written on it. the bristles are soft and appear brown in colour.

 Pros:

• Very soft with fine bristles
• Blends evenly
• It does not shed or pull out
• Can be used for powder, bronzer, blush
• Its of great quality and affordable

Cons:
I had just one problem with this brush; the fact its not retractable or does not come in a pack.

My overall Thought
I absolutely love this cute little brush. for an indigenous brand, its does a fantastic job.  I use it mostly for powder and  blush. It does not waste products and it blends beautifully. Its very easy to wash and it does not shed.

I would definitely recommend  and repurchase.

If you need the Unveil whisking brush please contact me.

Product Review: Hegai and Esther brush cleaner

Hello beauties,

Sure you all are having a great time. Today's post is a product review from Hegai and Esther, its the 99% Isopropyl alcohol brush cleaner.I read about it sometimes last year and have been on the look out for it.

Usually, when I have to work on two or more clients in a day or during our training classes,  I clean with cosmetic wipes which gets my brushes wet or damp and i have to wait to get them dry.
Fortunately, I recently saw this product at Sit Pretty's studio and I was surprised  to see how easy cleaning your brushes could be in between and after makeup application, I immediately got a bottle.

How to Use
Spray the Isopropyl alcohol directly into your brush
Wipe clean on a tissue and rub continuously on the tissue until all dirt comes off.
Leave brush for few minutes to dry

dirty brush

spray onto brush

wipe to clean

clean brush ready for use

My Verdict:

I'm totally in love with this product because now I can clean my brushes faster and get them sanitized all at once. I will definitely repurchase.

Till my next post, Stay beautiful.....

Product review: Milk of Magnesia

Hi beauties,
Happy  new week. The weekend was much fun for me, first was my mum in- laws birthday, had a great time with all family members together and on Sunday, I was at the 3rd Lagos makeup fair. Details of the event would be up soon.

This post is on Milk of Magnesia (MoM) which is actually meant for the relieve of occasional constipation.

When I first heard it could be used as a face primer, I actually thought it was crazy because its nothing close to a skin care product so, I never bothered about it. but recently, I saw a colleague using it so I decided to check it online and I was so surprised to see several reviews on it. I finally got myself a bottle and the result has been good.

How I use my MOM
First I apply my daily moisturiser 'Ori' Shea butter.
I shake the bottle well and pour out a little quantity of the MoM into the plastic cup that comes with it. Then, with my hand I apply on my face and leave to dry before applying concealer or foundation. I noticed that areas with much MoM will look white or chalky after drying, so I just blend, blend and blend till it evens out.

Whoever came up with this discovery did well (my opinion), because using this product has helped reduced shine on my face though, sometimes I still get to touch up once.

MoM is available at most drug stores it has several flavour and different brands- Walmart and Phillip brand.
Would I purchase again? Sure, I will

Tried it yet? would like to know what you think.
