Blank Canvas Cosmetics

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? yes i know, no excuses i have been terrible! but i'm back for good!

This review is about a few brushes that i purchased around christmas time from Blank Canvas Cosmetics! I heard so many reviews from irish youtubers and bloggers about these brushes and I never really got the chance to order makeup online but i was so excited for this to be my first real purchase! The delievery was really fast, i'm gonna say like 4-5 days i believe. The website has a wide range of brushes and brushes sets and also eye shadow palettes and blush palettes. I was in aweeee!

I got 5 brushes and also a blush/contour pallete! I seriously love everything i got and i was so happy with the service and the quality of these brushes! I really like building my collection and i am just overall happy with the company.

My favourite brush that i got was the  'F22 HD DOME FACE BRUSH IN METALLIC PURPLE'. It is a really dense and compacted brush which gives a lot of coverage to your foundation and really buffs it into the skin instead of it just sitting ontop on the skin. It is also a rounded top so it can really fit and 'swirl' into the creases in our faces. Its also very soft and it is handmade from extra soft high quality synthetic fibers and whats even better? It is 100% cruelty free!!

Another face brush that i got was the 'HOT PINK F20 FLAT BUFFER BRUSH'. I use this brush for either my power to really make sure my powder it being pressed onto the face instead of moving around the product that's underneath. I also use it for foundation if im going for a more natural look as it isn't as dense and compact as the brush above. I first thought when i ordered this it would be a bit more compact but i am in no way disappointed as it makes the skin look so flawless.

The first eye brush i got was the 'E24 FLAT SHADER BRUSH' OMG! i cant even get over how much i love this brush, ever since i got it nothing else is as good as putting on my base eyeshadow. It evenly distributes the eyeshadow, it pacts it on so its vibrant and it's also extremely soft! I seriously need to get another few of these cause if i lost it i'd be devastated!

The  'E25/26 BLENDING DUO' brush is just amazing, I use the E26 to distribute the eye shadow into the crease and give it a little blend and then, just before i'm finished i go in with the other side to make sure there isn't a defined line. This blends my eyeshadow so beautifully like no other brush i have found and the E25 side is also good for powdering the under eye concealer and to get a defined/strong contour at the side of your face,This brush is so soft like all the others and this brush is made from natural goat hair.

And last but not least the 'F10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER'. Since ive gotten this brush they have come out with a newer version called the 'E10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER(SYNTHETIC VERSION)' This is now a holy grail product for me! It makes it so easy to get a defined crease and gets into those places that might be difficult to get with a normal blending brush. This brush is very soft and is a must for us girls that don't have a very defined crease.

As you can tell i am delighted with these brushes and there hasn't been any shedding during the 6 months i've had them. These brushes are extremely versatile and affordable! They are top quality and at such an amazing price!! The service was amazing and was such an ease, especially when you're not use to ordering products online, The website is outstanding, so clear and informational!

All About The Lips!

So here it is, everything i do for my lips.

So my first step to soft kissable lips definitely has to be my lush lip scrub in bubblegum, this product right here is a must to everyone who loves their lips baby soft! i would normally do it two or three times a week depending on what state they are in that week, as it has started to get cooler those nights i can already tell my lips are getting dry due to those autumn and winter months that are about to come. This scrub is the perfect texture and consistency to get at those dried bits around the lip lines without irritating the skin. And the most amazing thing of all is that it really does taste like bubblegum, they also have a popcorn flavour which i have still yet to try out! This lip scrub is the best i've tried and it at a very affordable price.

The second step is definitely a daily routine something i do every night, every morning and everytime i feel i need it!It's moisturizing the lips, my favourite is of course vaseline, preferably with aloe vera. I feel it does its job amazingly and it is so widely available. I also love the body shops born lippy watermelon lip balm. Its very creamy and tastes amazingggg! I guess i'd have to say that flavour is a very big issue for me, if i dont like the flavour no matter how good it is i wont stick to it and wont enjoy having it on so having these lip balms that have an amazing flavour and do really work at moisturizing the lips is great!!

To be honest i don't really use a lip primer that much, i don't feel as their a necessity. I did try a gosh one but I feel the lipstick stayed on the same time as it would if i didn't have the primer on.

My favourite lipsticks at the moment are very different in colour but are amazing and long wearing. The most worn lipstick i owned would be macs 'Creme Cup', i am so devastated that i have used it all up and haven't had the money to repurchase a new one! The finish is a cremesheen and as it is very drying on the lips if you have the previously steps done its WOWZA! It is the perfect colour for any skin tone, i am pale and it worked amazingly! I'm very sorry i don't have a swatch photo for you guys as soon as i get it i'll put it up!!

My second most used it a recently bought lipstick but very used, it is the maybelline colorsensational in 140 'Intense Pink'. This lipstick is very creamy and matt, i seriously love it for everyday nude pink and have to pick up a new one ASAP! I find that it isin't as matt as the mac cremesheen which is good as they tend to be very drying on the lips. The packaging is also very fancy which i like!

 Throughout the summer months my must have lipstick was the catrice lipstick in 260 'Its a matt word'. It is an amazing dupe for macs lipstick lady danger! I was going to buy it untill i found this and i now own 3 of them as im scared they will be discontinued. It is a very matt lipstick but i got so many compliments on the colour, its the perfect red and was very 'in' this summer. I dont think ill ever find a red colour i like as much as this.

 Last but not least is the revlon super lustrous lipstick in the colour 663 'Va Va Violet' . This lipstick is a purple/wine based lipstick and is a very vampy looking lipstick! I'm inlove with it! It is also a matt lipstick and compliments any skin tone. Throughout the autumn and winter months this is gonna be very popular and a must have for us lipstick lovers!
