If you don’t own the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Can a girl have too many makeup brushes?

The answer, as it turns out, is Yes.

This is especially so, when you aren’t a makeup artist. What excuse do you have for owning 20 different foundation brushes, for example? I found none. So, I stopped cold turkey.

I stopped buying makeup brushes, and I stopped looking. I had enough, as my sizeable collection screamed at me from their storage drawers.

One day a year or so ago however, I chanced upon the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, and something about it made me buy it.

And I have not regretted it since! :D

A dab of colour from the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad will not leave you pale as a Ghost

Every time Hourglass releases a new Ambient Lighting palette, I tell myself I’m not getting it. Every single time (almost), I fail in my resolve LOL!

This year, when Hourglass leaked pictures of their upcoming Ambient Lighting Edit Palette – Ghost, I had a deja vu moment. It looked far too much like the other Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes I already own (original, Vol. 3 and Unlocked) to justify buying. Also, I found it sadly unexciting.

Then, a few days later, I came across another release – the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost. And on this, I pounced! :D

When using the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick remember that less is more for a beautiful finish

I’m generally leery about using stick type foundations. While they are convenient and portable, they do have a tendency to be drying. The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is anything but!

I picked this one up quite a while ago, and as you can see, it’s quite well-used. The reason is because, I like it quite a lot! :)

I shared earlier in a list of things I thought was worth spending money on, and I stand by it. It also reminded me that I hadn’t properly reviewed it!

Save & Splurge: Comparing the Hakuhodo and Chanel Retractable brushes and affordable Mini Travel-sized face brushes

After my rant about the retractable (but not) brush from Guerlain a few days ago, I was reminded of a reader request. Someone had requested my thoughts on the Chanel Les Pinceaux de Chanel Retractable Highlighter Brush as compared to the Hakuhodo Retractable Brush that I bought as a souvenir from Japan last year.

I’d kept the post at the back of my mind, intending to write about it, but never quite getting round to it for various reasons. Well, let us remedy that today! :D

As these brushes also make good travel brushes, I will also show you a few other small/mini brushes that I use for travel purposes, or that are portable. They are affordable so stop cringing! LOL! :D
