I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Makeup Brush set hault and review



After losing most of my makeup brushes I decided to invest in a brush kit. I searched through many reviews on amazon and thought I would never find what I was looking for. My wants were as followed:

*Good quality brushes at an affordable price
*a lot of shadow brushes (i have a lot of color and cant stand wiping color off same to use another color)
*Shadow brushes that picked up color

I searched for 1 whole week and came upon this kit. I liked what the brushes were made of and the amount of shadow brushes that was offered grabbed my attention. After reading both good and bad reviews I decided to try this.




PROS:
1. They arrived earlier than estimated so that was a PLUS.
2. The presentation was great, the case came in a nice deep red color, and upon unraveling it were tons of brushes include:

*1 fan brush
*3 medium brushes
*1 concealer brush
*1 blending brush
*1 angle brush
*5 shadow brushes!! (range from normal to small)
*The rest were a combo of lip, brow, and liner and mascara brushes. Basically you have a all the brushes u need.

3. These brushes  are soft, dense and sturdy. They will pick up color well


CONS:

1.The medium brushes I believe they are foundation and blush brushes. My existing brushes are huge so to see these so small I almost couldn't identify them, but I guess they come in different sizes. Upon using them i notice they didn't pick up color that well but I plan to make them work.

2. There are more small brushes that I wouldn't mind replacing with more shadow brush but I'm an eye shadow girl. Nevertheless I plan to make use of them all.

3. The worst part of all the cons is  I experienced a lot if shedding upon applying. I went back on the site to read the reviews of people who complained about shedding and someone suggest to wash the brushes in gentle shampoo before use so I did just that, I also pulled on the brissels the best i could. The next morning I used them and it did decrease the shedding but it didn't eliminate it. I use the fan brush to wipe the hairs off my face. This set gets the work done but its not the best quality due to shedding which is one issue i never experience before with brushes.

Overall I gave this product 3 out of 5 stars. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend. But if you are a beginner i say go for it. Its good for getting practice

Looks that I have achieved with this product
