Avon Makeup Brushes Review

                                                         All over Kabuki Face Brush:

This face brush has many pros and cons. My major con is how many bristles fall out with washing it and even using it. I don't use a whole lot of pressure yet the hairs still seem to come loose. The bristles, on the other hand, are very firm so you don't need to use a ton of product. The brush does hold in a lot of product so not all of it gets transferred on to your face. The brush is so small that it's not ideal for everyday use. It is great though for traveling with the small size. This brush also is good for keeping in your locker or purse. The Kabuki is only $4.99 but I won't repurchase it. Final rating 5 out of 10.

 

Ergonomic Blush Brush:

 

This has to be one of my favorite Avon brushes. Even though its only $5.99 it's not cheaply made and has lasted me a long time. The blush goes on very smoothly and evenly but it also works great for blending. It's also good for powder foundation and the angled bristles contours with my face nicely. The handle is long and angled which makes it more practical to use than the kabuki. Defiantly one of the best products I have bought from Avon. Final rating 8.5 out of 10

Avon products are usually really good quality and with their cheap prices it feels like a steal and you don't really mind paying for their makeup and tools. Even though they do shed its just a small downside. Overall Avon makes good brushes but as I said before I will not be buying the Kabuki again.

 

 

Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette Review

This palette is a must have for ages 12+. This Urban Decay palette is around $27 at Sephora and is totally worth every penny. It comes with six shades and features Venus, Foxy, Naked2, Crave, Faint, and my favorite Walk of Shame or W.O.S . These shades work as a great base for more dramatic looks but you can use all these eye shadows like I do for a more nude look. They are mattes so the shadows are buttery and amazingly pigmented and the palette is portable and is my must take item when traveling. They blend together beautifully to make smokey eye looks and also stay on for a long time. As long as you tap your brush before applying it isn't chalky. Instead of paying $50 for the full Naked and Naked2 palettes you get all you need for much cheaper. Being a student it's a blessing to have all my needed colors in one palette rather than going through my make up for certain colors when I'm in a rush. Final rating 9.0 out of 10.0

-The Venus is a very shimmer-like white color. It reminds me of snow and is great to highlight your brow bone or apply close to your tear duct to make your eyes look bigger.
-Foxy is a good base color, reminds me of buttercream icing.
-W.O.S is a beautiful, creative color. Great for young teenage girls to wear to compliment their eyes without wearing a pound of makeup. This eye shadow is more of a peachy color.
-Naked2 is a brownish grey color. It's great to outline your crease with or to use when blending to add more definition.
- Faint is a darkish brown shadow also good to use around your crease. While it compliments many looks it resembles MAC'S mulch but without a ton of shimmer.
- Crave is one of my favorite very black eye shadows. Its perfect to use just as eyeliner.
