Crown Brushes

I Love these brushes!  I was first introduced to them when the Coastal Sense craze was going on.  I bought quit a few...and swapped  more then I kept...  Now that I am aware of the brushes I like to use I was able to buy the brushes I know that would work for me.  I prefer to buy them now from Crown Brush since they have....over a hundred (many more I am sure) brushes to choose from.  Anyway here are a few of my favorite brushes from their site

Uses!

1. I bought this originally from CS and did't use it that often.  But more recently I have been gabbing for it a bit more for lightly blending out my outter V.

2. I like this a lot for blending out harsh lines all around my eye.  Above and below.

3.  I like to use this for a few things.  Inner corner, apply glitter on the lower lash line and setting shadow ontop of colored liner....(I do a lot of colored liner)

4. This brush shed quit a bit when I first played with it.  Now I use it for lower lash line application.

5.  Wow this is one of my favoirites....if not My favorite.  It's still but incredably soft.  It's easy to add in soft colors, blend out lines, inner corner application, and normal soft shadow application.

6.  I liked this from the begining.  Great for applying cake liner and setting your water line with shadow.

7.  I like this because for blending out wet or moist bases like MUFE Flash Palette colors.

8.  Just a nice blender blush....to blend colors together or fade them out.

9.  I use this for thick liner....cake liner. 

10.  I like to use this more then the Sigma 208 for my brows!

11.  Brows!

12.  I use this one as a brow highlight

13.  Brow Highlight also.

14.  Pressed Powder to buff into my skin.  Super Soft!

15.  I use this to put on my MUFE HD Powder.

Products Used:
Stilla One Step Foundation in Light

Nars Face Powder in Flesh

I bought this online at http://www.allcosmeticswholesale.com/ because it was $19.99!!! That's 55% off the original price of $44.00.  So since I was ordering online, I decided it would be best to go to Ulta and find my shade before buying it.  I usually don't buy foundation online but since this was a steal, I had too! 

As for the foundation it has a great feel to it but I didn't think it was a buildable as one step.  I always use concealer and in this case it was no different.  It gave a great smooth finish but I was still skeptical of not setting it with a powder.  So I used Nars Loose Face Powder in Flesh.  It gave me a great matte finish and it went well with the Still foundation.  I personally don't see this as ONE step but three.  It did not take long to apply and it was extremely blendable.  I would buy this again as a foundation....but just a foundation.

New Sigma Brushes

The new Sigma Brushes were released last Monday Feb. 22, I was in the market to upgrade on brushes a few weekends before the release and I was going to buy all mac but the spring collation came out and brushes were forgotten. I did kick myself for passing up the opportunity to grab some new brushes when I had some money. So a week or so rolled buy and I got an e-mail from Sigma saying that they have a new line of brushes coming out! What Luck! I had bought the previous full pack of brushes from them and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with what I bought.

The set is $149.99. With that you get 15 brushes, the brush roll/ holder, and I also got a freebie travel size brush.

The Freedie!
