Oval Makeup Brushes

As always, I’ve renewed my love of cosmetics once again. #1 reason I know this is not just a phase I’m going through? I’m going to college for it. Yep, I’m starting off with a BS in chemistry that will probably lead me to a Masters in cosmetic science and from there I will hopefully get a job! Oh, it’s so lovely when dreams and reality actually cross paths. For now, it gives me an excuse to keep buying makeup brushes.

On that note, I’ll share what I’ve been obsessing over this past week: oval makeup brushes. It started when I took this makeup quiz, just wanting to feel superior about my love of beauty products. I got the question about the funny little, toothbrush-looking things wrong. *pouty face* Then, I noticed them popping up when I turned to the makeup tutorials section of my explore feed on Instagram! How did these things even work1?

Long story short, the popular and expensive makeup brushes were first debuted by MAC and then on their own as the Artis oval brushes. The brush head has shorter, more tightly packed bristles, which apparently lead to a more even application and should soak up less product. Also, the design was created for personal use, rather than most other brushes that you’d also use to apply makeup to someone else.

From what I’ve read of reviews and such, the Artis brushes are well worth their large price tag, however unpractical. This has lead to many dupes- they seem to be the same style, but just not as high quality. A couple complaints I’ve come across about other brands is that they’re a bit stiffer, sometimes streaky, and the plastic between the brush head and handle is too flexible and possibly about to break.

I definitely want to hop on the bandwagon with these brushes! I want to start with a face brush that I can use to apply my foundation, since I haven’t been happy with my stippling brush lately. Hopefully, I can maybe get one or two Artis brushes for my birthday or a holiday (the set of ten is around $400). Otherwise, I might just go ahead and get a set of dupes! I’ve looked into a lot of reviews online and Amazon appears to be a reliable vendor. I’ll link the best ones I’ve found below.


Let me know if you hear anything/have opinions about the latest trend in beauty brushes!

{Day Three} 6 Days of Denim

Image
The third outfit of the series is perfect for lunch on hot day. It's cute and a decorative tank and shorts will help keep you cool!   //Tank top (old)- American Eagle//Shorts- American Eagle //Sandals- Jack Rogers //Sunnies- Forever 21, DIY//Necklace (old)- Forever 21//   These shorts are the perfect length. They're also the only pair I bought without any rips in them!   The blush pink "lace knit" tank is a perfect pair with these shorts! The color keeps it neutral while the design has all the flair.   I got my first pair of Jack Rogers sandals this summer! I could write a whole post on just these shoes, but I've contained my love for now. The platinum color is one of the best for a first pair- it goes with almost everything.   A close up of my sunnies! I love the nod to 50's sunglasses with the slight cat eye shape. Also, I added the flowers on myself (DIY!!). While they're not my most often worn pair of sunglasses, the...

New Year, Same Me

Image
Quick throwback to 3 years ago when I started this blog! And … back to the present. People always have lots to say when this new beginning rolls around. A chance to start fresh, be productive, and to reinvent your image. I say, scrap it. The world seems to be in agreement that 2016 was the closest we’ve been to hell on earth. However, life is just a continuation. Unless you’re one of those cute, little babies with a January 1, 2017 birthday, nothing much has really changed. Here's to more blurry pictures and good times  For as many people read this blog, this post is as much to hold myself accountable as to give advice to the world from my point of you. Here’s the big idea: don’t change, just be a better you. That doesn’t mean you need to go on a juice cleanse and hit up the gym more, or put a little more effort in getting ready, or even reading double the usual amount of books. I’m just saying take care of yourself a little more. Capture the moment with Fujifilm Ins...

Cards Against Humanity with a Twist

Image
My friend Sarah came over last night so we could watch the One Direction movie, This Is Us, which came out last year. She still hadn't seen it! Not only that, but we decided to play Cards Against Humanity . It's a card game that requires four people or more if you really want to get the laughs going.     With only the two of us, we took a little advice from our favorite YouTubers! Hannah Hart (feat. Jenna Marbles) and  Connor Franta (feat. Tyler Oakley) dubbed a new, two person version of this game: Charades Against Humanity. I think this might be better than the original intention of the game. I couldn't decide whether it was more fun to act out or guess crazy ridiculous things! We took cues from the YouTubers such as "overall concept", "sounds like", and other charade gestures. It really helped that we had both seen the videos, so we knew what the other was aiming for.     My experience with the normal way of playing CAH is somew...
