U-Spicy Oval Makeup Brush Set Review! 😍

Hi ladies! I’m here today to share a review on a purchase that I made just recently off of amazon.com! We have all heard of, or seen videos on Instagram about these “Oval, Toothbrush-Style Makeup Brushes.” I have been fascinated by the idea of them since they first began blowing up online- I love innovative, unique ways to do your makeup. When Tarteist “Clay Paint Liner” tubes came out I was overjoyed at the new approach on applying your liner ❤️ Anyways, I really enjoy these oval brushes- I’m sure you will too! Let’s get right into the review…

First of all- I’d like to say I purchase these off of Amazon HERE. They were $19.99 + free shipping for Prime users! 💸

Right off the back I noticed how big and nice the box these brushes came in was! It’s sleek, sexy, smooth and makes you feel like you just made an awesome purchase for only twenty bucks! ❤️ It has a magnetic closure flap on the very front of the box that allows you to open it up and peek at your new goodies…

Now, I’d like to discuss how soft these bristles are. I mean seriously guys, it feels like they could be made of pure rabbit fur. I was a bit hesitant honestly on purchasing these in particular because of the price on amazon, thinking maybe the hairs were going to be coarser or of lesser quality than what I would have wanted. But I was WRONG!!! These seriously exceeded my expectations. They feel velvety smooth on your skin and apply your makeup flawlessly 💕💁🏻 

Another bonus would be how flexible these babies are! 😍 Talk about caressing your curves… Your face curves- that is! Here’s a screenshot of the amazon store picture example, and mine are just as flexible as this picture claims they are! So awesome.

 

The next cool thing was that it came with a manual on which brush would be ideal for each part of your makeup routine. Making it easy to get used to and remember! This isn’t a photo of the exact manual it came with inside of the box- but this was pulled from the amazon’s store pictures…

Overall, I absolutely am so excited to have purchased these brushes! I’m in love, and I would reccomend them to all of you ladies if you don’t have a set of oval brushes yet. Can’t wait to be using these from now on- my old brushes are gonna be sad 😞 Lol! But not me. 😝 Here is a photo of a look I created using all of these brushes… Something alien-y! 👽

Not the most traditional look, but hey! I was having a ton of fun lol 💜 Thanks so much for reading- I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you try these brushes out for yourself! They are so amazing for the price 😘 Please comment and leave thoughts for me!

Badashnails Review! 💕

Hi babes! I wanted to share a little gem i found on Etsy recently, it’s a hand painted false nail shop located in Florida called Badashnails. The owner Ashleigh, can custom make any shape, color or other requests you may have for a really great pricing and shipping was fast. I ordered a pair of these gorgeous deep purpley grey stiletto nails and i am so impressed, i really think i am going to be ordering many many more haha, and create some custom ones as well! 🙂 Let me show you what i received!

They look a tad lighter in person, i have a picture that will show their truest shade if you continue reading. All though this is pretty close to what they look like.

These are truly beautiful and she spent time filing them into a nice sharp claw for us ladies who like them sharp💖💅🏼 😉 She also offers the other standard shaped nails like coffin, square tip, oval & also the finishes.. I chose matte stiletto!

This picture above show their color perfectly, and i am in love with it. They have stayed on wonderfully and are still sharp and the color hasn’t faded at all. I am so happy i purchased them! ❤ I suggest you go check out her shop if you are interested, https://www.etsy.com/shop/Badashnails.

Thanks so much for reading loves! I hope you enjoyed this post and have a great Holiday with you families ❤ Leave comments & thoughts if you’d like!

SO, That is where i pulled inspiration from today, hope you all enjoy. Let’s get right into it! 🙂

Here we have my basic shadow look. I have used Tarteist clay eyeliner to really give my eyes a dramatic & fun double winged liner look.. A long with my bold liner i used gold, champagne and a deep berry/cranberry/red color to achieve a festive Holiday Party-ready look. I mean, what’s more christmas-y than bubbly light champagne, tart cranberries & shimmering GOLD? 😉 Speaking of TARTE, this Tarteist Clay Liner is one of my absolute ***FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS*** out on the market right now! If you are a regular in the art of winged liner & confident enough in your skill, i need you to do me a favor and just order this and try it.. Do it for me! You will never ever want to SETTLE FOR, nonetheless TOUCH another liner formula again. This truly turns you into an artist, such easy and smooth application.. you will fall in love at first brushstroke. ❤

Here are the basic items i used to achieve this look flawlessly..

• FLOWER “About Face’ Liquid Foundation
• L’Oreal Infallible 16HR Pro Matte Powder Foundation
• MAC Mineralize Concealer-NW20
• ColourPop Super Shocks Shadows in: Get Lucky (GOLD-bottom lashline, outlined second wing), Lace (PURPLE-lightly traced bottom lashline and blended out), and Erotic (RED- intensified cranberry color on overall lid/blended out.)
