ShopMissA.com Haul

Hey everyone, I’m finally back with a new video! I show the products I got from shopmissa.com over a month ago (this video is long overdue). I must apologize in advance. I’m a bit rambly in this video, so it’s over 30 minutes. Make sure to grab a snack or drink. :) Also, my lighting is off. I didn’t realize it ’til after I was editing. I accidentally bumped the button on my light, so it was too bright. Urgh! Sorry about all that folks; hope you’ll stick around anyway. :) For product swatch photos, see below the video.

Mend A Broken Brush!

Aaak! Has the handle come off your fave brush? Youtuber OxfordJasmine demonstrates an easy way to fix it! Watch her video below. I wish I knew this a few years ago when one of my brushes came apart. Thanks for the great tip Jasmine!

PoshBrushes.com

Not too long ago, I discovered PoshBrushes.com through a youtube makeup guru. (don't remember who it was) While they do have some expensive brushes, they also have quite a few relatively inexpensive ones as well.

In fact, these 2 brushes to the left (smokey & smudger brushes) are only $10 each. I'm especially interested in the smokey brush, it looks like it would make a good pencil brush.

Have any of you, my readers, tried any brushes from PoshBrushes.com? If so, what did you think?

What Am I Wearing?

No, not what clothing am I wearing, but what makeup am I wearing. Well, I have to say, I tried something new. What, you ask? I don't remember where I read this tip, but it's very likely that I got it from a blog post by one of my fellow BBN members. (If the one who wrote the tip is reading this, please leave a comment stating the fact. Thank You!) The tip is this: If you use mineral foundation, but you sometimes want the look & feel of a liquid foundation, mix your mineral foundation powder w/your fave moisturizer.

What a concept! I'm always wanting to wear a cream blush (I've heard cream & liquid blushes work best on dry skin, like mine), but you can't put creams on top of powders. It just doesn't work. So, needless to say, I was very excited to come across this tip! I tried it, along w/my cream blush, & loved the results! Anyhoo, below I shall give you a breakdown of the makeup I'm wearing, in order of application.

• bareMinerals Foundation mixed w/beFine Food Skincare moisturizer, applied w/Foundation brush from billyb beauty (Thank You Billy B!)
• Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Merlot as cheek color
• Setting Powder
• L'Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Black Liquid Eyeliner
• Rimmel LYCRA Lash Extender Mascara in Black

And that's it, I'm very happy w/the results!
