HEALTH AND GLOW KABUKI BRUSH

              I missed blogging these days because family function kept me busy running around for organising,shopping, shopping and shopping only, that ranges from street shopping to high end shopping.After a pretty long break,today I am going to review about Health and glow kabuki brush. I am a makeup hoarder and beginner who always looking for good and affordable makeup brushes. But when I visit at MAC or Chanel or TBS stores, I hesitate to buy their brushes because of their very steep price. When I was in a mall shopping, just entered into Health and glow store to repurchase some goodies. In their brush, hair clips, bath sponge section, I saw this brush and noticed the price and grabbed immediately, because only two pieces were left.

Price: MRP Rs: 289, but I got this for Rs 239

I was super happy to be owner of this kabuki brush. At the store itself I asked the SA to cut open the pouch to feel the softness of the bristles and YES!!!! they are. To comment on this kabuki brush, it is designed with a cute black handle with very dense bristles. They mentioned it as natural hair but I don’t know that whether they are artificial or natural. It is very easy to hold, and pick just the right amount of the product. As soon as I came home, tried it with MAC mineralize skin finish natural powder, Chanel loose powder and my powder blush. With all of them it sure performed well. Since it is very dense it didn’t take much time to cover entire face and it gives a flawless even finish. I have been using this for three months now and I have washed it 6 times with baby shampoo and didn’t notice any shedding of bristles.

MY WEEKEND HAUL

Hi girls there,

           How are you people?How was your weekend? Mine was filled with joy with a family outing.We went to temple,shopping mall and a nice dinner.I am more of a skincare person than a makeup junkie,always wanted to try skincare stuffs.Because I strongly beleive that to attain a nomakeup/natural madeup look,my skin has to be clear and healthy.On good skin days I could slather some sunscreen,sheer layer of compact,Kajal,lipbalm or sheer lipstick and I am ready to go,If I care my skin properly.

           I have a oily skin with acne marks here and there,so I was searching for a "Herbal based mild cleanser" that would not strip off my natural oils.So,the keywords I had in my mind exactly matched,When I entered into Forest essentials store at Phoneix market city.The SA was so sweet and kind enough to explain about their range of products.I grabbed Kashmir saffron and neem mild cleanser suitable for oily skin type and much raved Narangi Nagkesar ubtan.I got few samples also.The ambience and smell lingering in the store was so magical and divine.

         Then as usual I headed into Health and glow store and picked Lakme lipliner,Himalaya Anti hair fall cream and few more stuffs.
