Manicare's Awesome Tools - Maxi Buff, Tweezers and Concealer Brush

Manicare is the ultimate brand for beauty tools. I have three products from Manicare to review for you today.
The first product is Manicare Retractable Travel Concealer Brush. This brush is so portable and great for travel and also is retractable. The product is ideal for covering dark circles, blemishes and any other imperfections. The size of the product is so convenient. The brush has a tapered head for spot application and blending in concealer. You can use the tip for small areas and use the flat side for larger areas. The product comes with a lid to avoid mess and not snag the bristles. The concealer you use can be powder, liquid, cream or stick. It is made with fine quality soft synthetic bristles which makes it super soft. This product makes it so easy to apply concealer. You can just throw it in your handbag or keep in your car for on-the-go touch ups. This product is just so convenient and great.
RRP $9.95



The next product is Manicare Ultimate Point Tweezers. This product is made with perfectly aligned, hand crafted ultra fine tips for ultimate precision. Using high quality anti-corrosive Japanese stainless steel with a contoured grip for control. This product is ideal for easy removal of short, fine or ingrown hair and splinters. This product comes with a protective case which is great for carrying around and for travel. The tweezers really work well and are of good quality. I really like these.
RRP $8.95



The final product is Manicare Maxi Buffer. This product buffs and shines natural nails without the use of nail polish. It has extra flexible cushioning which is fantastic. There are three parts to this buffer. The black smooths away ridges and stains. The white creates a satin finish on the nails and the grey achieves a super natural shine. It has so many benefits in one product. I love it. This is also a product with such convenience which you can throw in your purse and use when on-the-go. This is something that is always handy - I know for me that this is a boredom killer. The buffer is just of such good quality and is great value.
RRP $9.30

Artiste Brushes - They are the best!

Hi beauties,
Artiste have a really nice range of brushes. Today I am reviewing several of their brushes. These three brushes seem to all be from the same collection. All the brushes I am reviewing look really cool and attractive as they hues of blue, pink, orange and other colours throughout the products. Like
Cosmetica, all the brushes come in their own sleeve which is great for travel and other purposes.



The first brush is Artiste Creme Blush/Bronzer. It is ideal for cheek tints and liquid bronzers to give a nice, dewy look. This product aims to create a gorgeous glow. The brush itself is very wide but thin making it so easy to apply blush and bronzer. The packaging is so simple but is very appealing. It is very versatile and has several purposes; you can use it to apply liquid, powder or cream blush and bronzer as well as other powders and face products. The bristles are so nice and soft. You can be really precise when using this product. Also, I find this brush to be very portable, convenient and great for travel.


The next brush is Artiste Foundation/Concealer. It is used mainly for foundation and concealer to give a flawless finish. The shape of the brush is so unique as it is like a dome shape; it comes to a point at the top. Also, it is quite thick and dense. The packaging is also cute and simple. It is a multi-functional tool to cover large areas but still being really precise in application. The brush is really easy to use and easy to apply foundation and concealer. To apply concealer, you just use the tip. This is very travel-friendly.


The last brush is Artiste Creme Eye. This brush is ideal for creating sultry eyes. The brush is just your standard eye brush, in regards to size. The soft tapered bristles mould to the eyelid allowing concentrated creme eye colour to be applied easily. The brush makes it so so easy to apply eyeshadow and applies it to the eyelid well. It is really really soft like all the others and has such precision. I think the product is really portable and great for travel.

Cosmetica Brush Reviews

Hi all,
Cosmetica is a great brand that provides people with fantastic brushes. I have three eye brushes to review today. Before I go into each brush individually, all these brushes came with a nice and useful clear packaging to reuse for other purposes.
 

Cosmetica Mascara Brush
RRP $3.95

When you first hold the brush, you can tell it is of good quality. The size of the brush makes it so portable as the brush is thin. The product is used to apply any mascara on. The applicator makes it really easy and simple to create more dramatic lashes. Usually, when applying mascara I have to get a brow comb and comb out my lashes to separate them. With this I didn't really need to because the brush separates and lifts my eyelashes. The product itself looks simple and appealing. I think this brush is so cheap and is so lovely and great.


Cosmetica Large Eyeshadow Brush
RRP $15.95
 
This brush is also good quality and is more thick than the other product. The bristles are made from pony hair and as a result is so soft. I love how soft it is. The brush is quite large which is so lovely. It is used to apply all eye shadows on your eye. The product is so so versatile; you can apply colour to the whole lid, shade creases, highlight the brow bone, as well as creating endless looks. You can do all this with a few strokes. This is so great for travel because you can use this one brush for many looks. Again, the product looks visually attractive. I love how affordable it is yet how it is such good quality.

Cosmetica Pointed Eyeliner Brush
RRP $12.95
This product is thinner like the mascara brush and is again so convenient and portable. The bristles are made of nylon. It is used to apply all different eyeliners. Pointed Eyeliner Brush is in a pointed shape. It is quite stiff but is less hard at the tip for ultimate control. The tip is so thin so you can achieve a nice thin line of liner. Also it is ideal for controlling the thickness of liner. The product is great for liquid eyeliners, micro concealing, adding highlights and embedding eye shadow right into the lash line. It made it more easy to apply eyeliner. I really like this brush as it really does help, doesn't break the bank and looks appealing.
