Real Techniques Buffing Brush vs Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge | Product VS

It's no secret on this blog that I love Real Techniques. Today I wanted to talk about two of their products that get compared a lot. The RT Buffing Brush and the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge.

Since there are both for foundation and from the same company they get compared a lot. So I thought it was fitting that they would be the first in my new companion series, Product VS.

Products I Will Aways Re-Purchase

I've seen this floating around recently and really love the idea! There are quite a few products I adore and will always keep in my collection so I thought I'd tell you about some of them.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge | Review

"This versatile beauty tool was designed with a revolutionary foam technology to evenly blend makeup for a smooth, enhanced finish. Use damp for a dewy glow or dry for a full coverage."

- Snippet from Real Techniques Product Description


Real Techniques says that the "rounded sides blend large areas of the face with a dabbing motion" and the "precision tip covers blemishes and imperfections" and the "flat edge is for contouring around the eyes and nose."

Real Techniques says this sponge is "ideal for liquid foundation' and is latex-free and that for best results, replace your makeup sponge every 1-3 months.

The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is available for $4.88 at Walmart, $5.99 at Target, $6.99 at Ulta and $6 on realtechniques.com. It is also available for £7.99 at Boots.

My Beauty Product Wish List | ft LORAC, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Too Faced, Benefit +More!

Before we start I'd just like to say that this is my 100th blog post! I can't believe I've done so many! It seems like I wrote that first post not so long ago but it has been a year and 9 months. I'm so happy to have hit 100 posts! Here's to the new 100! Now on to your regularly scheduled post.

I thought it was about time I did a post about products I'm dying to try. Everyone who loves makeup and beauty products has a wish list. My list is insanely long. I'd buy all of Ulta and Sephora if I could.

Today I'm going to list some of my most wanted products. I products I need in my life. I'm limiting this list about 30 products as if I don't limit it this post would be insanely long. I still think that is insane amount but It's the shortest list I could come up with.

All products will be listed and linked at the bottom of this post.

My Top 10 Makeup Brushes & Makeup Brush Kits Under $20

Today’s post has been a long time coming. I love to do lists of my top 10s and I’ve been wanting to do this one since my top 10 makeup products under $10. I’ve also done a post on my top 10 lip products under 10.  So now I’d thought I’d do one on my top 10 makeup brushes.

The first two were Top 10 under $10, but since makeup brushes tend to cost more, even for the drugstore brands, I decided to make this on Under $20. Most of the brushes in this post are under $10 when you buy them separately but in this post I will be talking about 5 of the kits some of my favorite brands offer. The best thing about drugstore brand brushes is that, yes the kits might be almost $20, but that’s for a set of 4 or more.

I love buying brush kits. You get 4-5 amazing brushes for less than one high-end brush. Just because the price is lower doesn’t mean the product is cheaply made or that they aren’t of great quality. Makeup brushes are one of my favorite things at the drugstore because of how much you get for your buck and how we'll make most of them are.

I’m not doing this one in a countdown or anything. These brushes will be listed in no particular order. I love all these brushes for different reasons. I just couldn’t organize them into a numbered list so I’m going to just write them out and tell you why I love them.

Monthly Favorites | September 2015

Is it really October? This year is going to fast! I seems like I just started writing this blog last week, but it has been 6 months as of last week. That’s so crazy!

But I’m so excited for October! Autumn is my favorite season! The beautiful colors of the changing leaves, the cooler air, the jumpers, the fingerless gloves, boots, the crunching sound under your feet as the leaves begin to fall. Cute pumpkin things. Dark nails and dark lips. 

Autumn is the best. From the sounds of leaves, to the smell of the air, to the look of the sky and colors of the leaves. All of your favorite shows are back for a new season. I just love autumn!

Anyway September was a great month! It started to cool off here and it has started to feel like autumn. I had a lot of faves this month, both beauty and random. So let’s get started.

 

The Makeup Obsession TAG

I think it’s safe to say that I am a little obsessed with makeup. I created this tag to show my makeup addict pride! I love makeup and I’m not afraid to show it!

Today I came up with 10 questions for this tag. So let’s talk favorite brands, product obsessions, and more.

As always there will be a copy of the questions in the comments. Feel free to do this tag and share your makeup obsessions!

Let’s get started!

What's in My School Makeup Bag

Back to school is upon us again. Most girls want to wear makeup to school but a lot of schools don’t allow a lot of makeup. You can wear makeup but it has to be light. When I was in school I just did BB cream and eyeliner. Today I thought that I would do a school makeup bag.

Always remember with makeup at school to keep it light. With eye shadow you have to keep it nude, matte, and light. Schools tend to flip out with makeup.

So here’s what would be in my makeup bag if I were still in school.
