E.L.F Studio Brushes Review Part 1

Hello Lovelies,

I was hoping to do one post on my E.L.F Studio Brushes but it would have been too long so I'm splitting it into two. So for this post I will be focusing on the Stipple Brush, Powder Brush and Fan Brush. Before I start I would like to say that I have had these brushes for about 5 months now so I feel that I have a good sense of each of these brushes. Also across the board on the studio line brushes they all synthetic and anti bacterial bar the Retractable Lip Brush.

The Stipple Brush:

Overall I am disappointed I thought it would give an airbrushed finish, but alas it did not. Instead I was give lovely streaks all over my face and had to use my figure to blend in the foundation. So it basically doesn't do what it says on the tin. It also looks nothing like it dose in the picture on the website.

For €4.00 you can forgive them and over all they do amazing products for the price you pay.

Powder Brush:

Over all I am happy with it. I use it for contorting and it dose work. I have heard that people use it to apply liquid foundation and it works amazingly. But it is really grate for applying lose powder because it doesn't rub of any of your foundation due to its flat head, you just need to pat it on when applying. I love how soft this feel it doesn't feel harsh on my skin which is most important. I'm not blown away by it but it works and its a very good price once again €4.00.

Fan Brush:

This is the brush that I have used least out of all of my E.L.F brushes (besides one). When I have used it it dose work because its so soft it is very flexible so it can get right under the eye area to brush away and access without leaving any irritation. Once gain €4.00 not a bad price and it dose work.

Overall because they are so cheap I think they are really handy on a night out, just in case you forget to pop it back into your bag after you top up your make up and you wont mind too much if it happens all thanks to the lovely price!

Have you tried E.L.F brushes before? how did you find them? did you try the ones I have mentioned above, did you have the same experience as myself?

Sally Hansen Diamond Strenght Review

Hello lovelies,
I was in sever need for this product, why?
I have very brittle nails, I suppose that's why I took to nail varnish the way i did so people wouldn't see the state of my nails.

On the packaging it says its an Instant Nail Hardener and that it helps to strop nails from breaking, and it helps to strengthen and grow as well.
I have been using this product for about 5-6 weeks maybe 4 or 5 treatments (is that the word to use?) anyway you know what I am talking about. 

I decided to see how long I could grow my nails before they looked gross I was able to grow them for 3 weeks maybe a bit more and for me that is huge, the most I usually let my nails grow its about a week and a half because they become so chipped. I don't have any pictures because who wants to see freakishly long nails without any varnish on em? On one nail there was a bit of pealing but that is in no where near the way they where. You have to keep in mind that after a certain length they literally just broke off!

Now my nails are so good, so much better than before I would highly recommend this as a product! It works and even though its a bit on the pricey side I would happily  pay for it again, this will last you a good while. Like any product it takes time to work and after using it twice you will see a difference.

This truly is the holy grail of nail repair treatments!

Price: not too sure I think it was around €11 or €12 in boots.

Update: correction on price, it is €13.85

A new year or a new Liz Earle

I don't really see much of a point in New year resolutions everyone seams to give up after a while.

I after the age of 10 or so I decided it was not worth my time getting in a huff about first deciding on a resolution and then some how achieving it.

but this year I have one!

My skin is a walking disaster, and it is all my fault because I don't take care of it the way I should, and sleeping with make up on is my worst enemy. I have decided to do the 3 step regime using Liz Earle products that where kindly gifted to me. I will also be using Estee Lauder's Idealist (Pore Minimiser) to hopeful shrink those unsightly pores.

What new year resolutions do you have? Have you used Liz Earle before, what did you think of it?
