Spring Cleaning!
Friday, April 17, 2009 at 3:06AM
With all the pollen in the air and flowers in bloom, I'm sure everyone's getting around to the ritual of "Spring cleaning". After you've turned the sheets and cleaned out the hall closet, it leaves some ladies wondering what else needs to be cleaned out. As a part of my Spring cleaning ritual, I always go through all my make-up tools - like brushes & sponges - and see what needs to be replaced. Like a good make-up junkie, I clean my brushes routinely but replacements are always needed.
Most women agree when I say you can never have too many make-up brushes but it gets a bit hard for those who don't know just what to buy. Brushes can be bought in sets or singularly if you're in need of something particular. It's good to start with a set that has the essentials then branch out to buying single brushes when you need them. A few of my favorite places for brushes are Sephora, Ulta, MAC, and Target! For those who want a good all-in-one, I've compiled a few good brush sets that are perfect for at home and on-the-go!
Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set: $60
This set is perfect for ladies with extra sensitive skin since each brush is laced with a hypoallergenic mix that gets rid of harmful bacteria. The 7-piece set includes a foundation brush, concealer brush, powder brush, angled eyeshadow brush, eye blender brush, lip/eyeliner brush, and a brow brush/lash comb. Plus all pieces pack easily into a sleek silver trifold case which fits in your purse and luggage nicely.
The Smokey Eye Brush Set: $42
A personal favorite look of mine; the smokey eye is becoming a quite essential look for all seasons. This great little brush set includes a how-to guide on the look, every brush needed to create it, as well as a some Volume Mascara. And all of these goodies are packed into a slick gunmetal silver case!
The brushes include: wide-smudge, all-over shadow, small domed smudge, detail, and dual-sided brow brush & comb.
Two Tone Portfolio Brush Set: $44
Another travel-perfect set that comes neat and ready in a buckle-closure portfolio that fits in even the smallest of purses! The essentials include a powder brush, eyeshadow blending brush, eyeshadow detail brush, concealer brush, & a retractable lip brush.
Slim Essential Brush Set: $39
This ultra-travel friendly set is perfect for those touch ups on-the-go! The set includes a powder brush, blush brush, small & large eyeshadow brush, and a retractable lip brush. A magnetic closure keeps everything intact in the compact microfiber portfolio.
And just because I thought they were too cute -
Perfect Ten Brush Set: $72
Gorgeous, sturdy, and made to last; these pink brushes are a welcome addition to any stylista's vanity table!
All these sets can be purchased online or in-store at Sephora!
Enjoy!
