Sleek Pout Paint

The Sleek Pout Paint is a lip color that is SUPER SUPER REALLY FREAKISHLY pigmented. You only need the tiniest amount to color the whole lip. That's why many people are in love with them. It comes in 11 beautiful colors, and meant to be mixed to create your own color, but some of them are great to use on their own. I got 2 of them, in the color Minx and Pin up.

Minx is a soft nude pink. It's great for lighter skin tone. I use this in the tiniest possible amount to create a nude lip.
Pin up is a vibrant red. I'm sure it works for any skin tone. You can build the color by applying more layer if you want a darker red. It is a very versatile product, I even use this one as fake blood for face painting.

To use this, you'll need a lip brush, you don't want to apply this with your fingers, because it will create a mess. Take the product in a tiny dot and then apply it all over your lip. You'll be amazed by the pigmentation. It's crazy.

You can see on the left of each color I take a tiny amount of product and the right one are the same amount blended. One tube of this pout paint will last a lifetime, because a little goes a long way!

Hope it helps!

NYX Slim Lip Pencil

The NYX Slim Lip Pencil come in 60 shades. So it took me quite some time to choose the ones I want. Finally I bought 4 of them. They're soft, and glides easily on the lips, unlike other lip pencil I tried, which is from The Body Shop. It's too dry and hard to apply. But it may work wonders on other people. Different person can have different results. This NYX lip pencil also great as a base, to prevent the lipstick from feathering or smudging all over. So the colors are:

Nude beige is a soft brown, works for most skin types. Works best to even out the lip color. I love this one so much :)

Natural is a soft pink, it's not too pale so you can use it on its own. Maybe apply some lip balm before or after to prevent dryness.

Rose is a bright pale pink (does that make sense?). Well it's a bright pink, but kinda washed so it doesn't look too doll-like or too bright. Looks beautiful on the lips. May works best for lighter skin tone to use on its own, but it's great to even out the lip or as a base.

Hot red is a beautiful neutral red, works for all skin tones. Red lip liner is very very important when you're trying to wear red lipstick. Because if you're brave enough to wear red lips, you don't want it to wear off. So it's important to apply lip liner all over the lips to create a base, and prevent the red lipstick you put on top of it to wear off or smudge all over. It also helps the color to stay longer.

Lip liners are useful not only to make your lips look fuller by lining all over the lips, (sometimes outside the actual lip line if your lips are really small/thin) but also as a base by coloring the whole lips with it so your lipstick can have something to hold on to, so it stays longer.

Here's some swatches to help you choose:

elf Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection Set

Like I said on my previous post about elf studio brushes, I'm getting the brush set. And I am loving it! These brushes are unbelievable! They're super soft, sleek design which is all black, and also very sturdy.

The set contains 11 brushes, all synthetic. Some of them I already bought separately, but I don't mind having 2, it is that great.

The 11 brushes are:

Complexion brush: Big fluffy brush to apply powders, blushes, or bronzers all over the face.


complexion brush

Powder brush: Flat top brush to apply powder, blushes, bronzers, or contour. Some people love to use this to apply cream or liquid foundations.

powder brush

Angled foundation brush: The angle makes it easy to apply foundation in hard-to-reach places, like under the eyes and around the nose.

Fan brush: I never like this type of brush, I kinda think it's useless. Except if it's thicker. This one is too thin so I can't figure out a way to use this for anything. It was meant to be used to wipe away any eyeshadow fallout under the eyes, but I think it's too thin to be able to do that.

fan brush

Blush brush: To apply blushes, bronzers, or powders. But I use this a lot to set the concealer with powder under the eyes. It works wonderful. The size is perfect for that.

Concealer brush: To apply concealer, primer, or eyeshadow. I use this to apply eyeshadow only. Love it.

concealer brush

Contour brush: Domed small brush for applying eyeshadow to add more depth on the crease. Also to blend the eyeshadow.

contour brush

Eyeshadow "C" brush: To apply eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eyes. Perfect if you want to create a smokey eyes. It can be used to blend also.

eyeshadow "c" brush

Small precision brush: To apply concealer on specific areas, to apply lipsticks, lipglosses, eyeliners, or to create definition under the eyes. Definitely a must-have.

small precision brush

Small smudge brush: To smudge eyeliner or eyeshadow for a smokey eye look. It's a bit smaller and thinner than the precision brush, that's why it's perfect for blending eyeliner.

Small angled brush: Every women need at least one of these. It helps create an even, thin, and straight lines. It can be used to apply eyeliner if you want to get a cat-eye or a flick, which most of us struggle with, and of course to color the eyebrows. Try to find the thinnest one available for this type of brush. The thinner the better.

You can get each one of these brushes separately, the set is just a cheaper way to buy. I highly recommend this product, especially if you're a beginner or on a budget.

Real Techniques Brushes

Today I'm going to review the Real Techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman from Pixiwoo, which is practically why I am into makeup in the first place. I saw their video months ago on Youtube, and I love it so much I decided to watch every single video they uploaded. The Pixiwoo channel on Youtube is a collaboration of the Pixiwoo sisters, which is Samantha and Nicola Chapman. They're both super talented. You guys should definitely check them out.

Not very long ago (I guess), Samantha (Sam) launch her own brush line, called Real Techniques. Made with ultra smooth taklon bristles which is synthetic, meaning you can use these brushes for cream and powder. The brushes were instantly getting much love from everyone, so I decided I'm gonna get one.

The first one I got was the stippling brush. Oh one thing I should mention, they're color coded. So the orange ones were meant to be used for the face, like foundation and powder. The pink ones are for the cheeks, and the purple ones are for the eyes. Genius. But it's not like they're carved in stones, you can always use them on your own preference.

stippling brush

The stippling brush meant to be used for blushes, but I see the Pixiwoo sisters use it a lot to apply foundation. So I use them for both. This brush helps you to get a flawless finish, by stippling it on the face, dabbing the product so it blends well with the skin and didn't look like you're piling on makeup. I really love the stippling brush, and I think this is one of the most wanted brush of all the Real Techniques collection. I can see why.

After being in love with the stippling brush for a couple of months, I decided I want to get another one. So I went for the core collection.

The set contains 4 brushes to help you achieve flawless base. Description of each brushes are on the back of the box which is really helpful.

Buffing brush: To apply foundation. Cream, liquid, powder, or any kind of foundation. Buff the product into the skin, so it blends well. We never want a streaky foundation.

Detailer brush: Tiny little brush to conceal spots, or to apply lipstick. I love to use this to apply eyeshadow under the eyes. Whichever you prefer.

Pointed foundation brush: To build custom coverage of foundation on some areas. If you need more coverage around the lips, which usually a bit red for many people, use this brush. It's also great to apply concealer under the eyes to hide dark circles.

pointed foundation brush

Contour brush: This one is probably my favorite. The size and shape is perrrrfect for contouring.

The core collection set comes with a black panoramic case that I love, because it can also stand up. I use it upside down, though, to dry the brushes after I washed it. I got asked this question a lot, how do you clean your brushes? The best way is to use baby shampoo or other delicate shampoo. Wash it with the handle upside down, so you don't get any water on the inside of the handle, because it can damage the glue that stick the hair and the handle, eventually makes it comes off. So only wash the tip of the brush. And let them dry on their own, upside down, and never use a hair dryer or so.

I really really love these brushes, they're super soft and did their job amazingly well for an affordable price. Check the Real Techniques website on www.realtechniques.com for more info. Hope it helps!
