Ecotools Eyeshadow Brush Review



I've heard soo many great reviews on the Ecotools brush line. After wanting it for so long but not being able to buy the brush set, I decided to buy the eyeshadow brush.


Price: $7.99

The price seemed decent, wasn't cheap but wasn't expensive but it really is worth its price!




Packaging:

So the brush came in a reusable pouch which I thought was handy for it to be stored in. But the pouch is kind of like a zip lock bag except the lock is very hard to open (well in my opinion it is) took a lot of my strength and fingernails to get the thing open, it was a pain, I did not store my brush in it.
But the pouch does have some good sides to it like the writing on the back, I thought it was cool that it had a Green Tip on the back, taught me some new things! and the pattern on the front was also cool!


Used white eyeshadow to show how much it can pick up

Product:

[[Just going to let you know that this is my first ever eyeshadow brush I own so I cant really compare with other brushes.]]

Pros:

• It picks up the eyeshadow really well
• Very soft
• The bristles are tapered in, so it's easy to get into the inner corners
• No stray hairs yet after a week of using it! :D
• The hair hasnt fallen out

Cons:

• Washing the brush is a pain. (I use soap/dish washing liquid to clean it and the bubbles get into where the metal is)



Conclusion:

I would buy def buy this again, well the other brushes! But the prices are way too pricey for my money in my opinion. but I will be saving up to buy more (:

Nails of The Week!

Too lazy to watermark my pictures :/
My friend requested me to do her nails in a leopard print last week so I decided to go practise on myself before doing her nails! Here are the final results (:


So I just painted my nails with a base coat beforehand then painted the base white.


Used my dotting tools to dot random shapes/blobs kind of like a giraffe print or cow print (:

Then used the smaller side of my dotting tool to draw C's  on the outline of the shapes :D pretty simple!

I will be uploading more reviews soon, I just dont have the time atm since exams are coming up so I have more work aswell to practise :C

Essence Eyeshadow- Dream Team

So I found this pretty baby at Target and I really wanted to try out the Essence eyeshadows since there was quite a lot of good reviews about it. I'm also on the hunt of trying out new cheap eyeshadows.


Price: $2

This is probably the reason why I bought it, the price was discounted to $2 in a bowl full of the rejected makeup. For $2 the eyeshadows would equal to $1 per colour which isnt that bad considering that you get quite a lot of product.


Packaging: 3/5

-To be honest, I thought the packaging was quite cool because of the logo on the side. 
-It was also a good idea that the lid was a slide out instead of popping it up. 
-Very sturdy, but opens easily as well

The eyeshadow is on my lashline and inner corner.

Product: 4/5

Pros: 

• It actually lasts on my lashline really well it stayed for around 5 hours and only smudged a small bit.
• It is buildable
• Compact
• Decent pigmentation

Cons:

• Doesn't come with an applicator
• Takes awhile to get the desired amount of colour on since it's buildable.

Swatches:


Without flash

With flash

Conclusion:

Overall I really love this product on my lashline and inner corners, it really does stay on better then my pencil eyeliners and gel liners, I would definately buy it again. It was worth the buy!
