Crown Brush HD Brush Set w/Mirror and Tweezer Review

Image
I was sent the  Crown Brush HD Brush Set w/Mirror and Tweezer  over the holidays to review, and I actually took this set on my family vacation to Disneyland. Along with a mirror and tweezers the HD brush set included six brushes, Pro Powder,Tapered Blush, Deluxe Contour, Crease Blender,Chisel Shadow, and Detailed Liner brush. The set comes in a slim, easy to clean case which I find is easier to travel with than one of those cylinder brush holders. Overall I did enjoy these brushes, they are soft, functional and perfect for my travel needs. My only issues are that I wouldn't use any of these brushes for foundation so I would need to bring a separate brush(or my beauty blender) and the Detailed Liner brush is a bit too long for me to use for liner.  The set comes in four colors red, white, orange and purple (I have the purple one), and retails for $27.95 on  Crownbrush.com . *Items were sent to me for review, bur all opinions are my honest ones 

Christmas Sale Haul

Image
I know this post is late but I was waiting on a package from Sephora. I am really happy with most of the items I purchased. I have been wanted some of these items since before Christmas and getting an extra 20% was nice. I don't know how much haulin' I will be doing in 2014 because becoming a VIB rouge put my spending in perspective. What was your favorite item you picked up in any of the year end sales.

Suave Family VoxBox Review

Image
I was sent three Suave products from Influenster as part of their Suave Family VoxBox program. I was sent a Sweet Pea and Violet lotion for me to try, a body wash for my husband and a mouse to try on my daughter's hair. The Suave Naturals Sweet Pea and Violet lotion has a very fresh scent, and I find that it absorbs quickly. I don't think that it offers 24 hours of hydration but I would repurchase it during the warmer months because I find that a body butter works better during winter. The Sauve Men Body Wash in Refreshing smells very clean (like Irish Spring) and my husband said "no complaints, it does what a body wash is suppose to do". My favorite item that I received was the Suave Kids Cherry Vanilla Bop Mousse. I have never used mousse on my daughter's hair before and didn't know what to expect. Not only is this mouse alcohol free and hypoallergenic but it leaves my daughter with soft bouncy frizz free curls. I will definitely repurchase this when we r

I didn't finish a lot in December but I did clear out some items that I knew needed to go. What did you finish up last year?

NOTD Julep Joelle

I couldn't think of a better way to bring in the new year than with this festive glitter from Julep. Joelle is a full coverage holographic glitter and I have worn it most of December. It is one of favorite glitters in my collection.
