Overdue Haulage!

Woohoo! I finally have another haul post to show everybody! The story behind this post starts with a simple idea: do a joint e.l.f. haul to split the shipping and make it cheaper! So, about two months ago, a few friends and I got together to do said haul and we split the cost of shipping (super cheap!) but I wasn't able to claim these items until recently (read: today!) I also picked up some great freebies that my friend generously gave to me as well as a few tokidoki brushes!

If you've been keeping up with previous posts, I'm sure you all know I am absolutely obsessed with the artwork from tokidoki! I wish that Sephora continued to carry it because it was an absolutely amazing brand when it came to graffiti-style artwork and their bags! When they got these brushes back in stock, I asked my friend to pick them up for me before they sold out again. Now, I have the entire collection (including my beloved kabuki) and here they are, along with the other great things I got!

Loads of beauty goodies to enjoy :)

As you can see, I now have the tokidoki Siberia blush brush and the Pittura brush set! Although they are top-heavy because of the capped figurine, they are lovely brushes and are soft, not scratchy, on the face and eyes without being floppy. I also ordered my first brush from e.l.f., which is their Studio stipple brush. There are also a few assorted samples, notably a full size GWP Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Miracle and a C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine. I also hauled a Milani Liquif'eye liner with the old name and packaging in Brown, as well as the e.l.f. baked eyeshadow in Toasted (individual reviews to come soon!)

I can't wait to bring back more reviews to the blog! I love to share my honest opinion on products and I love to read them too! 

Review: Tokidoki Kabuki Brush

First of all, apologies for not posting the last two weeks! I've had a lot to do but now I'm stepping back into routine and will continue to blog regularly about my latest beauty quirks! Thanks to everybody who still stops by to read my blog! I love my readers! :3

Last week, I was lucky enough to be able to haul the last tokidoki kabuki brush in stock at Sephora! Since the brand is being discontinued, I wanted to snag all the collectible items that will become staples in my collection, including this amazing brush which I heard rave reviews about from other friends.

Isn't it just adorable?!

This kabuki brush by tokidoki is not only visually appealing, it does the job well. The bristles are ultra fine and soft without being floppy; I can control the movement of the brush very well in application. As well, it won't scratch your face or leave splotches of powder if used correctly. All you need is a very light hand, since a kabuki has denser bristles for more even and dense coverage. I just couldn't pass up the design with the purple dye and the cute square handle! I actually don't mind that it isn't long handled, plus I don't have to worry about getting water into the ferrule of the brush when I wash it.

The only trick I would recommend with this brush is to dry it upside down. I have a post coming soon on how I wash my brushes, so I will show you all there how I handle this one!
