moda pro 3 piece brush set

BY ROYAL & LANGNICKEL

FULL SIZE  $26 beautyusa.royalbrush.com

Screen Shot 2017-08-17 at 6.53.20 PM

 

from the card: this moda pro 3 piece brush set, features a pointed blush, chisel blender and a crease brush.  these brushes will achieve endless looks and can be used with both wet and dry products

#boxy tip:  bmx130: use to apply blush and powder with precision, or use the tapered edge to create a subtle contour.  bmx250: with a unique curve design, this versatile brush can be used to apply highlight or contour.  bmx430: define and blend your creases, or use to buff over your entire lid

sparklez sayz:  these brushes are super sturdy and feel like they’re going to last a long time!!! the crease brush (bmx430) is definitely my favourite and has been the crease brush i can’t seem to put down.  the blush/powder brush (bmx130) is a decent brush – i like it but i’m not totally over the moon.  the contour brush (bmx250) really isn’t my cup of tea – nice brush, but not something i’m going to use every day

from the card:  creamy, waterproof eyeliner for true definition that lasts all day..  this liner glides on smoothly, and is formulated with pure minerals, natural waxes, and antioxidants – making them hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types

#boxy tip:  holding the skin of your upper lid taut, trace the upper lash line, making the tail end a bit thicker than the inside, and extend it just beyond the lash line.  for a more dramatic look , try lining the outside half of your bottom lash line as well.

sparklez sayz:  this is a definite pass.  this was not very black and felt very dry.   i only use eyeliner in my waterline so i really don’t need another.

from the card: pur’s 3d lashes are handcrafted with the finest luxury silk to provide ultra-lightweight, natural-looking, fuller lashes.  these cruelty-free lashes are durable, reusable, and safe for contact wearers. 

#boxy tip:  start by curling your natural lashes and applying one coat of mascara so your lashes can support the weight of your falsies.  next, cut the lash band to the size of your lash line.  apply a thin layer of lash glue and wait for it to dry.  finally, start by applying the lashes on the outer corner first moving to the inner corner, hugging the lash line tight.

sparklez sayz:  lashes are super pretty – i rarely wear lashes so these have gone away until that i need to put these on occasion!
