New Beauty Addictions

Since it is the first week of March, I thought it was a good time to restart my blog after an extremely long hiatus. To all of my followers I am so sorry for the very long lapse,  but I am back now with a full new set of products to review and my blunt opinion. First up my new makeup obsessions.

Sephora Collection Advanced Airbrush Set; $ 65

First off, I know that this is a pricey set to buy for five small brushes. But, considering that the full sized foundation brush and powder brush are both $32 and the full sized concealer brush is $24, this set is a bargain. Plus, these makeup brushes are beyond amazing. The way they apply your makeup is impeccable. I feel that it was well worth the splurge. If you can't afford the entire brush set at least try to purchase the foundation brush and the concealer brush. Your face will love you for it. The set includes five brushes that come in a small leather pouch.They are short handled and what I really like about them is that they don't shed. Unlike a lot of makeup brushes that tend to shed when you use them these stay perfectly intact no matter how much you use them or wash them. The crease and shadow brush I find are very good for your eyeshadow. They pick up a generous amount of eyeshadow color and applies the color very smoothly. The Airbrush Powder, Foundation and Concealer are my three favorites. I love that they are domed shaped, densely packed, synthetic brushes that apply your liquid or cream  makeup seamlessly, just like an airbrush! All of the brushes can be used wet or dry and when used properly in circular buffing motions your skin truly looks like it has been airbrushed. For anyone who has ever used airbrushed makeup they know how drastic the difference is compared to manual hand application and these brushes recreate that look perfectly.

M.A.C. Cosmetics Fast Response Eye Cream; $30
Ever since I have discovered this beauty product it has become my beauty crack. I am beyond addicted to this eye cream it is truly a wonder product. Anything that promises to depuff your eyes I will buy and test out as fast as possible. There are millions of eye creams out there that claim they fill in fine lines, depuff, get rid of dark circles, etc. This one absolutely does all those things and beyond FOR REAL. I have used it on myself, I have used it on my clients and there is not one person who has not fallen in love with this product and gone out and purchased it immediately. The best part about this eye cream is that it somehow manages to make your eyes look even better as the day goes on. I can rave about this product forever. If you need extra help pair it with the MAC Prep+Prime Line Filler ($19.50).
