My Favourite Mascaras ♡

I must admit, I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I've tried pretty much every single drugstore mascara out there ... oh well. Here's my favourites from my vast ventures in the drugstore mascara world.

Firstly, I don't think there's a huge difference in quality when it comes to drugstore and high end mascaras, they all essentially do the same thing and the only huge variable (apart from price) is the brush. So I've vowed to only stick to drugstore mascaras, but if there are any really outstanding high end ones be sure to let me know!

My favourite mascara brand is Maybelline, I think their mascaras are just plain good. I can't really fault them. One of my favourites is the Maybelline Falsies. The brush has fiber bristles and it really fans out my lashes and gives them length and volume and is overall a great all rounder. The only criticism I've got is that once this mascara starts to dry out it gets extremely flaky and throughout the day bits of the mascara falls off from my lashes onto my undereye area, so I can only wear this mascara for about two months before it starts dying. But I love the way my eyelashes look with this mascara on, so for me it's worth the risk! :P  

Another favourite of mine is the Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal. Me and this mascara have been through a lot together. When I first got it I wasn't a huge fan of it, I found the consistency of the mascara way too fluidy and I found it difficult to build coats of it on my lashes and I just didn't find that it too much for my lashes. I came back to it a few weeks later and gave it one last try and I absolutely loved it! I think the mascara itself had dried out a bit over the weeks, and so the formula was much easier for me to work with. Now this mascara gives my lashes a TON of volume, and lengthens them a bit as well, and unlike the Falsies it hasn't flaked on me yet. Definitely worth the wait for it to dry out. 

I have a third favourite as well, but I seem to have lost the bottle? No idea where it's gone to *cries* but my third favourite would've been the Maybelline Colossal Volume Express - Cat eyes. It comes in a yellow bottle and has a very skinny, curved wand. It doesn't give you a ton of volume but it makes your lashes look super duper long and I find that my lashes look slightly more curly when I wear this. It gives you long, spidery lashes so if that sounds like something you'd like then I highly recommend trying this mascara

Any other mascaras I should try out? Dare you to suggest one I haven't already tried x

Empties #2 - Hair & Makeup ♡

I had collected too much stuff to put it all into one, so I split it into two :P This is the first part of my empties .. haul, I suppose haha 

Clear scalp & hair mask - I loved this soooo much, it left my hair feeling super nourished and healthy and it smelt like classic shampoo, which I love :P If you're out looking for a hair mask this one ticks all the boxes for me

Maybelline mega plush mascara - This mascara is really good if you're going for a more natural look. It doesn't really lenghten but it adds some volume. Not too much, but just a bit. I don't know if anyone feels this way, but compared to other mascaras I have, this gives a very natural and minimal look. It's perfect if you're just starting out and want something very minimal and not very noticeable

Rimmel stay matte powder - This product is an absolute godsend. It smells incredible, it keeps me matte for ages, it's finely milled, it doesn't look cakey and my favourite thing about it is that it doesn't cost a thousand dollars. This is just all around perfect, I can't really fault it. As you can see from the photo my powder was in quite dire condition ... be careful not to drop them if you've got one haha :P

Collection lasting perfection concealer - I don't quite understand how I only used up one mascara but somehow used three concealers? Something clearly went awry here ahaha. I finished two of them with the shade Warm medium 3, and one in Fair 1. This concealer has always been a favourite of mine since I tried it, it's incredibly high coverage and blends very nicely and easily and is just all around very very good quality. It does crease on me, but I have not yet found a concealer that doesn't haha. Otherwise, this product is perfect. If it were a human it would be Johnny Depp *drools*

VO5 give me texture shampoo - I haven't exactly finished this product, I used it a few times and I did not like it at all so I'm throwing it out. It just left my hair feeling extremely dry and straw like and didn't do much else. My hair was no more texturised or voluminous than usual, it just felt more dry and got tangled more easily. Deepest apologies to all the VO5 fans out there, but this just did not agree with my hair 

Anyone else obsessed with the Collection concealer? Help me feel better about my addiction by telling me below :P

Lipstick Splurge ♡

Rimmel Kate Moss in 106 - I've had other Rimmel lipsticks previously and the Kate Moss collection has always been my absolute favourite. They're so incredibly pigmented and glide on really nicely and they don't dry your lips out either! Their formula is just incredible and they stain your lips slighty as well so they last really well. I even love the smell of them!
Loréal Colour Riche in 600 Doutzen's Nude (Privee by Doutzen collection) and 286 The Queen's Kiss (Project Runway collection) - Firstly, these lipsticks smell so good. Best. Smelling. Lipsticks. Ever. I love the two colour I picked up in these, one's more of a nude and the other ones a berry purple colour that would look really nice in the colder months. These lipsticks are have a glossy finish and are decently pigmented, they're also super buttery and moisturising as well. 

__________________________________________

Maybelline Colour Drama in 630 Nude Perfection and 510 Red Essential - These lip pencils are a new release from Maybelline and there's been a lot of hype about them going around, and rightly so! They're sooooo creamy and easy to apply. They're also really pigmented and last really well too. I can't really fault these, they're just stunning. I picked up two, one's a dark berry red and the other one is a stunning Kylie Jenner esque nude colour.

__________________________________________

Rimmel Apocalips in 501 Stellar - I have no idea why I've not heard so much hype about these lip laquers cus dangggg, this impressed me sooo much! The colour I picked up in this is a gorgeous bright neon fuschia. It's so incredibly pigmented, it's unbelievable, definitely one of the most pigmented things I have ever used, I was so blown away by this. Despite being so pigmented it's super easy to apply with the doe foot applicator. It has a very glossy finish but it lasts really well as well. If you've not yet tried these I would highly recommend trying one out! 

I definitely don't need to buy any more lipsticks for a while now (although we all know I probably will haha). Thanks for reading, ciao! x

Drugstore Makeup Hurl ♡

♥︎ Face ♥︎

Rimmel Wake Me up in 030 Classic Beige - This concealer has very quickly become one of my favourites. It's not crazy high coverage like the Collection lasting perfection, I'd say it's around medium coverage but it blends out very very easily and is very dewy and looks extremely natural under your eyes. It's also the first concealer I've ever used that has actually matched my skin tone, so if you have light yellow undertoned skin like me, this is perfect!

Maybelline Fit-Me in Medium Pink - This blush is well pigmented, blends well and gives a nice flush of colour. The colour I have in this is also perfect for those of you going into spring and summer.

Rimmel Stay Matte in 001 Transparent - This was a repurchase from me as my other one was not only almost used up, but also completely ruined as I dropped it on the floor and it smashed (oops). This powder is my holy grail, it's very finely milled and doesn't look cakey, it keeps me matte for the school day without needing to top up and it even smells delicious haha :)

♥︎ Eyes ♥︎

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 05 Too Cool and 55 Inked in Pink - I've had colour tattoos before and I've loved them so I decided to get more. They're great as a base under other colours, or even on their own. They last for ages as the name would suggest, are easy to work with and blend and the colours are absolutely stunning 

NYC Trio Eyeshadow in 781 Long Beach Sands - All the colours in this trio are shimmery, and they're super pigmented, I have found that they are however slightly powdery but it's nothing that you can't work with with some good tools

Art Deco single eyeshadows in 554 and 530 - Both shades I've picked up are mattes and they're both super pigmented and easy to blend and buttery and all that good stuff. I can't really fault them, they're brilliant. Their casing is also magnetic so you can stick them into Z palettes. 

LA.Girl Glide Gel Liner in very black - This glides on without any tugging or problems and it's crazy pigmented. I bought it mainly cus it says it's a gel which made me think that it would last in my tightline and waterline much longer, and I'm not sure if it's a placebo or not but I'm pretty sure that it lasts longer than any of the other eyeliners I've tried putting in my waterline haha 

Kingdom Liquid Eyeliner - My mom bought me this from Japan and it's pen shape makes it super easy to work with. The liner flows out soooo well and it applies super easily as well. It's one of the easiest liquid liners I've ever used, I'd highly recommend this and I'm gonna be very sad when it runs out :( 

Have you guys tried any of these? Let me know your thoughts!

2014 Holy Grails ♡

It's crazy to think that 2014 is over, but it was one of the best years of my entire life and I want this year to be ever more full of laughs and memories so that when I'm old and have thirty grand children I can tell them that I had the best teenage years ever! :P

I've used a lot of products throughout the year but there are some that have definitely stuck out to me more than others, stuff that I've always gone back to and always have in my collection, in other words my holy grails haha 

Foundation - Revlon Nearly Naked. It's very liquidy and easy to blend and gives low-medium coverage, which I like. It looks very very natural on the skin and if you're looking for a low coverage foundation I would definitely recommend this 

Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection. I cannot say enough good things about this. This is very very high coverage so it's perfect for your worst spots or dark under eye circles and it lasts for aaaages! I've also swum with this on and found that it's actually waterproof as well :)

Blush - Nyx Cream Blush in Rose Petal. Shannon from shaaanxo on YouTube raved about these a while back and said she prefers the Nyx cream blushes to the Mac ones. I've never tried the Mac ones but I agree that these are incredible! I can't really fault this product, it's just incredible

Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte. Everyone has raved about this powder at one point or another, it's lightweight and finely milled and just does the job wonderfully. It even smells delicious haha

Eyebrows - Milani Brow-Fix. This was in my last haul and I mentioned how it might be my new holy grail eyebrow product. It is. Pigmented, stays on for ages, not powdery at all, if you like powder for your eyebrows you should definitely give this a whirl 

Cream Eye shadow - Maybelline Colour tatoos. These have been a staple for me all year and I have two in my collection, Bad to the Bronze and Barely Branded. I tend to use Bad to the Bronze on a daily basis, usually on its own and I just smoke it out slightly. It's very pigmented, creamy, easy to blend and long lasting and looks very very pretty on it's own, or even as a base :)

Eye shadow - Wet n Wild Colour trio. Again, I can't fault these. These eyeshadows are just incredible. They're also really super cheap which is an added bonus and means you can buy ALL OF THEM!! I just love these eyeshadows to death, the one I have is in Walking on Eggshells 

Eyeliner - Maybelline Eyestudio. This is the first gel eyeliner I've ever tried and I'm like completely converted now. It lasts sooo much longer than liquid eyeliner and it's not as difficult or scary to put on as I thought. If you've never tried a gel eyeliner I highly recommend them

Lipstick - Rimmel Kate Moss 107. These are slightly drying so I normally wear a chapstick under them first but they're mega mega pigmented, smell delicious and last ages (considering you don't eat haha)
L'Oreal Colour Riche in Make me Blush (left) and The Muse's Kiss (right). These are slightly glossy and smell SO GOOD. They're also well pigmented and also last decently :) The packaging is also really cute ... just saying haha 

Brushes - BH cosmetics pink-a-dot brush set. I got these a while back and have absolutely fallen in love with them. They're ridiculously soft and haven't shed yet and most of the brushes in the collection are very dense and just very well made. In particular my staples from the set are the powder brush, blush brush, smudge brush (which I use for eyebrows) and the eyeshadow brush.
Real techniques duo-fibre collection (limited edition, sorry!). I don't tend to use the other two in the collection but the contour brush I love! I don't actually use it for its intended purpose, I use it for concealer. I find it fits underneath my eyes perfectly and unlike brushes with dense bristles that just pack on the product the duo fibre just lightly pats it on and feathers it out ... I can't explain it, I've just found that this brush applies concealer like nothing else. It's also dirty in the picture, I know but I couldn't be bothered washing it just for the sake of this photo haha

Day moisturiser - Clinique moisture surge. I've raved about this before, it's very very liquidy and dissapears once it's on your face. It's also very moisturising and since it absorbs instantly, makeup is super easy to apply over it 
Nivea Day cream. I use this instead of the Clinique when I'm gonna be outside since it has SPF30 in it and the Clinique doesn't have sunscreen. It's very moisturising although I prefer the Clinique cus the Nivea one doesn't absorb as quickly as the Clinique and sits on my skin for a while

Night moisturiser - Aveeno positively radiant. This is another new find for me but I absolutely love it. I've seen results from it that I haven't with other night creams I've tried. It feels like water and it absorbs very quickly and it's just incredible and every morning my skin feels sooooo super soft :)

Comment down below what your favourite parts of 2014 are! Beauty or otherwise :)

HUGE Collective Haul ♡

I've been shopping again ...
I need professional help

  ♡ MAKEUP ♡

♡ Eyes ♡

Miki - Smoky Blacks.
I found these eyeshadows very powdery but they blended out very beautifully and are super duper pigmented. They last really well if you put something underneath them as a base. They also have a super cheap price tag which makes me a very happy chappy haha :)

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit - 03 Dark
Well pigmented, long lasting, great colour, overall fantastic. I find this suuuper duper easy to use and it's my current go-to eyebrow product.

Maybelline Eyestudio - Brown
Very well pigmented, lasts extremely well, has a semi matte finish and was quite easy to apply and blended out super well and all that good stuff. If you're on the hunt for a brown eyeliner I highly recommend this :) 

Sorry for the change of background, not quite sure what
happened here haha 

Loreál Colour Infallible - 036 Naughty Strawberry & 031 Innocent Turquoise
These eyeshadows are heavily raved about on Youtube and the interwebs and well so because they are incredible! They're soooo pigmented and they're super duper easy to blend. They leave a kind of satin finish on the eyes. They look so pretty and they're so gorgeous and ahhh - they're amazing! The only thing that some people might think is a negative is the smell (if you have some of these, you know exactly what I mean). But they're on your eyeballs so it doesn't make much of a difference anyway haha :P 

Loreál 16hr Infallible Eyeliner - Black

This eyeliner is my new favourite. It's super duper creamy and glides on like an absolute dream. It's really pigmented and as the name suggests, it lasts a long time as well and doesn't vanish after an hour like my Maybelline one. I'm not sure what the white thing on the other end of it's for ... if you know let me know in the comments! :)

♡ Lips ♡

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain -005 Crush Begun
This balmstain is glossy, decently pigmented, ridiculously easy to apply because of the pen format of the stick, doesn't really taste of anything and long lasting cus it stains your lips once it starts to wear off. Possibly the only flaw is the smell. But the quality of the actual product makes the smell worth putting up with. 

Loreál Colour Riche - 250 Make me Blush
This lipstick smells like candy and heaven. Sometimes I just sit down and sniff it, it smells SO GOOD! It's also very very pigmented and creamy and lasts for a fairly decent times and is almost matte on the lips. I'm also obsessed with the colour and it's perfect for everything.

Loreál Colour Riche Runway Collection - 680 The Muses Kiss

This has the same scent but not as strong, but has the exact same formula as the lipstick above ^^ Much love for this lipstick <3 

Maybelline Colour Whisper - 290 Strike a Rose & 305 Red Around Town
These are quite sheer as the name would suggest so it just depends what you're after. They're glossy and last well and smell delicious :)

Maybelline Colour Sensational (Limited Editon, sorry!) - 1000 Lavender Voltage
This is semi-matte but crazy pigmented! It also lasts ages and even though it's not very creamy it's not uncomfortable to put on or wear at all. It also doesn't have a distinct taste or smell and I would highly recommend these if you're into bolder colours :) Out of all the lipsticks this one is the most drying though, but it's not a problem if you put a chapstick on first :)

♡ Nails ♡

Revlon Colourstay - 310 Vintage Rose 

Revlon nailpolishes are my favourite so when I saw this new shade I instantly grabbed it. I was not dissapointed. Pigmented, glossy, long lasting, easy to apply, quick drying just greatness.

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat - 600 Sour Apple

These might be my new obsession. Super fast drying, pigmented, matte and the coolest thing about these is that once they dry they feel like sugar!

Revlon - Temptress 168

This is the perfected Barbie pink colour! I wasn't ready for how pigmented this is, you can leave it at one coat, it's that crazy. Again, last very well but I did find it took a little bit longer to dry and less glossy than the Colourstays but still love it! :)

NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel - 152 Tudor City Teal

This isn't as long wearing as I expected it to be, it chipped quite quicky. Dries fairly quickly, less pigmented than the Revlon or Sally Hansen but it's still fairly decent. But if you're patient and careful enough the colours really pretty and fairly glossy :)

♡ Beauty ♡

Aveeno Postively Radiant Intensive Night 

I've only used this a few times but I can already tell I'm gonna love it. It's very liquidy and sinks in immediately. I also wake up with super soft skin and I'm already in love with it. New staple alert ...

Number 7 Lift and Illuminate Eye Cream

Another product that I've only used a few times, it's a creamy consistency but sinks in real quick. I haven't noticed anything yet using this, but I'll keep you guys updated :)

 ♡ Clothing ♡

 I made another order on Boohoo and I got this swing dress, I don't think there's any left now though (sorry again..) This is the same style dress as one I bought last time and I'm in love with it. It's super duper nice fabric and flows sooo beautifully and twirls when you spin around. It also fits me perfectly and it's super cute and great to throw on for a day out :)

I also got another dress (well, playsuit actually) and I was completely obsessed with it and wore it everyday for maybe a week after receiving it which maybe was the reason why I stained it. I still have photos of the playsuit but it has stains on it so I didn't include them. The fabric was thin but opaque and soft and comfy and perfect and I got in grey so it was perfect for everyday wear and it was perfect in every way. And then I stained it. Ah, the struggle :(

If you guys have read all of this then hats off to you sir, well done.
Sorry for all the word vomit, there was just so much stuff haha :P 

Give me requests for what you'd like to see next from me! Thanks xx

Huge Drugstore Makeup Haul ♡

Surprise surprise, it's another haul. This is quite a biggun so bear with me here haha. This was not purchased all in one go, this is everything I've bought since my last makeup haul ... yeah, I know I know, I just ... I need help. 
________________________________________________________________________

♥ face ♥

♥ I'll start with BB creams. I got this one from Garnier which I also featured in my July favourites*. I loooove this so much haha.

♥ I also picked up another Collection concealer in Warm-medium 3 which is also in my July favourites.* 
♥ I also got the Rimmel stay matte powder. This is perfect for keeping your makeup on your face all day. I highly highly recommend this, I have mine in 001 transparent so it's perfect for all skin tones.
♥ Next is foundations. I wanted something that would be very light on my skin that would just make my skin look a little bit better without being heavy so I picked up the Revlon Nearly Naked. Once again, I have two because the first one I bought in 150 Nude was WAY too dark and made my face look orange. So I went back and got the one in 120 Vanilla which is perfect for my skintone. They're amazing foundations if you want something that's very light.
________________________________________________________________________

♥ eyes ♥

♥ I picked up a Nyx jumbo eye pencil in 614 Lavender. These fade a bit on me, but the colours are gorgeous and for the price they're quite good. And they have a maaaassive range of colours :)
♥ I got two Revlon eyeshadow palettes. First one is 010 Sweet innocence and I really freaking love this! It's nicely pigmented and lasts a long time on my lids and doesn't crease. It has six different colours which are all fairly neutral except for one dark purple and I've just found this very very handy. The other one I got was 585 Sea mist. They're both super good quality :)
♥ I also finally hopped onto the band wagon and got a Wet n Wild trio palette. I got the one called Walking on Eggshells in 380 and oh my goodness, this is SOOO GOOD! It's so pigmented and buttery and extremely velvety and easy to blend and lasts ages and doesn't fade or crease and wow. It's so incredible, and it's also really really cheap! If you haven't tried these yet then what are you waiting for!
♥ I also got a Revlon Lash potion mascara. I got this mostly because I was attracted to the packaging haha, it's a decent mascara, there's not much to say about it. It does the job and makes my eyelashes black :)

________________________________________________________________________

♥ lips ♥

♥ I got two of the Revlon matte balms (never one to miss a trend), one in 205 Elusive which is a beautiful slightly medium pinky shade, and one in 230 Complex which is a browny- orangy nude. I really like these chubby stick things, they last a decent amount of time and the colour payoff from these is soooo good! They're also super creamy and not drying at all considering they're a matte balm. I really highly recommend these :)

From left : Revlon 205 Elusive, Revlon 230 Elusive, Nyx Pure
Red, Revlon Juicy Papaya, Revlon 820 Pink Cognito

♥ I also got two more lipsticks from Revlon (whoops). I got the Revlon lip butter in 027 Juicy papaya which is a gorgeous coral orangey peachy pink colour. These are so super moisturising and they're quite sheer, I'd say they're halfway between a lipstick and a lipbalm but I've just really been liking it and their colour selection is huge and you have to go and try one haha :)
♥ I also got a Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 820 Pink cognito. It's a pink with slight golden shimmer in it, but it's very very sheer.
♥ Last but not least I got a Nyx matte lipstick in Pure red. It's a beautiful cherry red colour and they have heaaaps of different colours to choose from. The pigmentation in these is INSANE. They last super long on my lips and like the Revlon matte balms are not drying in the slightest even though they're matte. I just really really like this and I have to look into getting more of them :) 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and

hope I've helped in some way and that I didn't buy too much ... I'm sure I'm not the only one that buys a ridiculous amount of makeup. Right? *nervous giggle*

* If you want to know more about these products, you can go to my July favourites :) 

July Favourites ♡

July has gone sooo quickly that I almost can't believe it! August promises heaps of awesome new memories, but it also promises a monthly favourite. I've never done one of these before, but I've been thinking about doing one and I've loved so many things this month I just couldn't help myself. So here goes nothing.

Batiste original dry shampoo 90g, Collection Lasting
Perfection concealer in 3, Garnier BB cream in Light

I've been loving the dry shampoo from Batiste, I'm quite lazy when it comes to washing hair, so I spray this onto two or three day old hair and it does wonders. I have the original and the scent is quite strong, but if you don't mind the smell this is a great product to have and it makes managing your hair a whole lot simpler :) If you're from New Zealand, you can get this from most places but it's cheapest at Warehouse. 

I've also been loving the pink-a-dot BH brush set, I got them earlier this month and they're very soft and I've just been reaching for them a lot. If you want to see photos I did a whole a blog review post on them :)

I've also really been loving the BB cream from Garnier. It's dewy, and lasts a long time on my skin and has decent coverage for a BB cream. It also smells good, is very moisturising and easy to blend into my face and I've just really been enjoying using it. 

I've also been loving the original chapstick from Blistex. It has saved my lips this month and it's the most amazing thing I've ever put on my lips. I've been using it for two or three weeks and my lips have never ever been this hydrated. I did have it, but I've lost it so I'll insert another photo of it instead haha.

And possibly my favourite thing this month has been the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. If you watch youtube, basically ever beauty guru has raved about this concealer and for good reason too. It's incredible. It has high coverage and it lasts all day and it just .. ah. It's so amazing I cannot say enough good things about it.

Last favourite is a TV show. It's not a new series or anything it's actually quite old. It's Frasier. I've been binge watching it over the past few weeks and I'm not ashamed to admit that I own all 11 seasons and that I've watched most of them twice now. It's funny, extremely well written and witty and I've just really really been enjoying watching this haha :) If you're looking for a new tv show I highly recommend this one. My favourite seasons are the fifth, sixth and tenth. 

I hope you guys have enjoyed this post and let me know in the comments what your favourites this month have been :) x

BH Cosmetics Pink a Dot Brush Set - Review ♡

1. Classic Shadow brush.                                          2. Tapered Shadow Blending brush.

3. Flat Eyeliner brush.                                               4. Angled Shadow brush.

5. Angled Blush brush.                                              6. Lip brush. 

7. Powder brush.                                                      8. Tapered Eye Liner brush. 

9. Classic Foundation brush.                                   10. Small Smudge brush. 

11. Deluxe Fan brush. 

BH had a new brush set, called the Pink-a-dot brush set which includes 11 brushes, all adorned with a pink polka dot handle and a pink polka dot case. I was in need of new brushes, and also thought these were super cute, and seeing as I had never tried any BH brushes I decided to get them :)

They come in a cute pink case, kinda like one of those old pencil cases you used to have in primary school. They've got two clicky things on each side so it's PERFECT if you're travelling so you can put your brushes inside without the worry of them getting damaged 

Each brush inside comes wrapped in its own plastic cover.

The brushes themselves don't have names or anything on them other than the brand name and the polka dots. This doesn't bother me although I do think it would be quite nice if they had names on them saying what the brush does, like the Mac or Zoeva brushes do.

The brushes are all synthetic, and they are super duper soft. I was actually surprised at how soft these feel, they're probably one of the softest brushes out of my entire collection. The base of the hairs are black and the tips are a purply pink, it doesn't really show up in the picture but I swear they are coloured haha :)

The set has 11 brushes, four larger face brushes, six eye shadow brushes and one lip brush. 

I've had these brushes for a while now and I've used each one heaps and they're all super good quality and the face brushes especially are super duper soft and apply product beautifully onto my face. I've washed all of them and none of them have shed but they have stained slightly.

I think these brushes are amazing quality, and especially for a cheap brand like BH cosmetics, I was very pleasantly surprised. The case which these brushes come in is a life saver if you're travelling. I highly recommend buying these, they're amazing quality and they'll look super cute sitting on your vanity :) 

I bought mine off of beauty joint for $31, which for a case and 11 brushes is actually such good value for money! 

Tell me what your favourite brushes are in the comments section :)
Ciao! xx
