Signature Minerals Soft Finish Brush review

A brush that comes in travel size that you can carry anytime, anywhere. This brush has incredible softness and just like the name, it gives you soft finishing.
I use this for applying bronzer and the result is perfect. It doesn't pick up too much powder of the bronzer, so it gives you the right amount for contouring. Too much is not okay.
I love this more than MAC 168 that used to I use for contouring. MAC 168 picks too much powder and brings me so fake contouring, which look like beard.
I'm start thinking that spend so much money for MAC brushes is not necessary. You can find as nice as MAC brushes but with cheaper price out there.
Do you any brushes that you love that is not from MAC ? Do share.

Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush review

Love this brush so much. I almost sell it but then I decided to give a try.
I'm a blusher freak and it's important for me to use it and look perfect with blush. However, I'm not confident enough that I already good enough with my method when I apply blusher.
I watched video tutorial and found the good one.
She used MAC Brush 187, but I'm not tempted to get that brush as it's expensive, so I use the brush that I already owned.
I saw my make up case and realized that I never use this brush before. I was not sure I want to use it for what purpose. I was thinking that if I used it for blusher, it would end up not nice as the brush is too big.
But I was so wrong when I used it 2 days ago. It applied smoothly on my cheeks and gave me soft finishing. The powders that picked up from this brush definitely stick on my cheeks, not at the brush.
Now it's my favorite if I want to use blusher, especially pigmented blusher such as NARS. For me, this is my MAC 187 but cheaper. I bought it for $28, now they increase the price to $30.
For not so pigmented, I prefer use MAC 168, the angled blush brush. I learned how to use blusher using MAC 168 from video tutorial too, before this I used it for bronzer. But it's too fluffy and too big as I apply bronzer for contouring.
Now I'm using another brush for bronzer which works so well and I will do the review soon.

Lovely gifts from the loveliest

Hehe, not sure if got that such kind of word, loveliest =p
It doesn't matter, bcoz in my post here, I have lots of thing to share.
So yesterday, I was going to meet my bf and I reached the shopping mall at 10.30. So early, huh ? But then, my bf had not reached the place yet since it;s quite far from his house.
So, I decided to kill my time with browsing to MAC Counter. A sales assistant name's Eva greeted me, she's quite friendly so I asked her this and that.
I asked about the prices of the brushes, then start from there we talked a lot. I told her that MAC Malaysia is much cheaper and mostly I bought MAC there. She share with me lots of things that I didn't know before.
First, MAC Indonesia is franchise, different with MAC M'sia which is under Estee Lauder Company. Bcoz of that reason, MAC Indonesia doesn't have MAC Pro Member.
Second, MAC Indonesia could not follow all those collections, which mostly launch every month. Because MAC Indonesia has to register all those product to BPOM, an organization from government who check about the safety, etc.
Third, MAC Pro member in US got 40% discount, correct me if I'm wrong.
Fourth, MAC Hong Kong is the cheapest among all Asia countries.
I got lots of acknowledge from her and she served me well, so I decide to get something. Honestly, I ady had my shopping list. MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon and Well Dressed. But when I swatched it, Well Dresses is too light. So I took Pink Swoon. While she was serving other customer, I browsed the counter and I found Pinch O Peach on the display and I asked for the tester so I could swatch on my hand.
It's a nice and lovely color so I decided to take it.
Seems like two items were not enough for me, kept browsing and I remembered that I need something for my eyebrows. I want it to look neat and nice, she suggested me the MAC Brow Shader.
She tried it on me and I love it. After another half hour, my bf came and bought it for me as my b'day gifts. A bit late, but it's better than nothing.
Yesterday we had great time, we talked a lot and shopped a lot =p
Here's my haul

MAC Pink Swoon, Pinch O Peach and Brow Shader in Walnut/Ivory.
2 brushes which have good quality, love it. I bought this for Brow Shader.
2 lipsticks from Maybelline, Naturally Nude and Revlon, Pink In the Afternoon.

Overall, I really love with what I got and I will diet for the rest of August. I ady have something in my mind for September shopping list :)
Btw, I got good news from the SA, Make Up Art collection will be launched in Indonesia in September, I will ask her to reserve for me the 2 blushers.
That's all from me. I want to enjoy me new stuffs :)
Bye
