Travel Friendly Makeup Brushes

travel friendly makeup brushes

If you are going travelling, you don't want to be bringing your whole brush collection with you. You probably want to bring as little as possible, so this post is going to be about my favourite brushes for travelling. The brushes I have chosen all have many different uses, so this means you don't have to bring as many brushes, they're kind of like a 2 in 1 brush! You may have noticed they are all Real Techniques, but that's because I love using their brushes because they are amazing quality and really affordable.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush // Core Collection Kit
This is the perfect brush for blending and buffing in foundation or BB cream. I even use it to blend in concealer. This is such an essential for me everyday because it really makes sure your foundation is blended, and if you are like me and can't stand the feel (and the look) of unblended foundation, then you should really try out this brush!

Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush // Travel Essentials Kit
This brush even comes in the Travel Essentials Kit, so it really is perfect for travelling! This is such a useful brush for eye makeup, it is very fluffy so perfect for blending the shadows, but it is also quite flat on the side so it can really pack the shadow on. Instead of bringing 3 different brushes for eyeshadow, you can just use this one brush.

Real Techniques Multi-Tasking Brush // Travel Essentials Kit
If you thought the other brushes were an essential for travelling, this brush is even more of a necessity! Firstly it comes in the Travel Kit, but it is also called the Multi-Tasking Brush; and this post is all about multi-tasking brushes! Anyway this brush can be used for powder, blush, bronzer and maybe even blending foundation! So instead of bringing separate brushes for all of that, you only need this one brush.

Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush // Eye Starter Kit
For me, this brush is amazing for blending in concealer under the eyes. But it is also really good for blending eye makeup as well. Another amazing multi-tasking brush!

Those are all my favourite brushes which are perfect for travelling as they all have more than one use! I hope you enjoyed this post, thank you for reading!

Top Pink Products for Spring

 
 
 
 
 
One of my favourite colours to wear in Spring is Pink. It just seems like such a spring appropriate colour, corals and brighter neon colours are more summer. But neutral and pastels are always in for spring! I have put together my favourite pink products that are perfect for this spring.
 
Blush and Eyes
 
My favourite brand for when it comes to blushes is definitely Sleek. The products are amazing quality and really pigmented. I have the Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink. It's a gorgeous bright pink that is just the right pigmentations, by this I mean it isn't too bright but not too subtle. Just right!
 
The other blush in the photo is from Topshop and its a cream blush in the shade Flush. It's a cream to powder formula so it blends nicely and gives your cheeks a nice pink flush, hence the name :D
 
I have a little eyeshadow that is so pretty, the swatch of it doesn't show how stunning it is in real life! It's from No7 in Antique Rose and is a lovely gold and pink eyeshadow. It is nice and shimmery but also very natural at the same time!
 
Lips
 
If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I do love my pink lispticks. I find them so easy to wear and they can suit anyone with any skin tones! For this post I decided to pick out my most pink lipsticks that would be perfect for spring. Most of my favourite lip products are from Revlon, so I have included the Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive. This is a gorgeous medium toned pink, its so natural and is also really creamy and not at all drying.
 
I also love the Revlon Lip Butters and I chose the shade Strawberry Shortcake. The lip butters from Revlon are so hydrating and feel like lip balms, this shade is a light nude pink and is such a nice spring shade.
 
 I think MAC lipsticks are such amazing quality so I couldn't not include it in this post, its the MAC lipstick in Chatterbox. Again, its a very pretty everyday pink. Finally, to change things up a bit I have included a lip gloss.
 
 It is the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Aurora. I absolutely love this lip gloss, especially the name. Its actually very good quality and I have a whole post dedicated to it here.
 
Brushes
 
I know, I know, I only chose these brushes because of their pink packaging. But it was too pretty to ignore and just fitted nicely with the post! So from top to bottom in the picture (they are all from Real Techniques by the way, I'll just tell you the name of the brush.) Multitasking Brush which I use for powder and sometimes blending in foundation, Setting Brush which I use to blend my under eye concealer and the Stippling Brush which I love to use for foundation.
 
So those are my top pink products for spring. I hope you enjoyed this post and tell me your Top Spring Products in the comments below! Thank you for reading.

May Favourites


 
 

 

Hello beauties! Another month has flown past and that means it is time for a monthly favourite! I cannot believe it is June already, I am quite excited for this month as it is my birthday on the 19th eeek! Anyway, let's get on with my favourites.

The first thing is a mascara. It is the One by One Mascara by Maybelline. I guess you could say I have a love hate relationship with this mascara as sometimes it doesn't quite work but sometimes I absolutely love it! When I say it doesn't work I mean it comes out clumpy and over the top. But throughout this month i have been loving it because it is very lengthening and makes my lashes look super long.

The next product in my list of favourites is the Real Techniques Detailer Brush. This is usually quite an unpopular brush as it doesn't really do much. However I like to use this as a lip brush to make my lipstick more precise. If I am wearing a bold lip and I need it to look accurate and not messy, I will use this to line my lips precisely. I think it fits really nicely in the corner of my lips.

Skincare-wise, I have began using this Boots a Cucumber Facial Toner to cleanse my face. Firstly I just want to say it smells so refreshing and healthy which is always a bonus. But its also really nice and cool on my skin and has helped to prevent break out.

So that is everything I have loved last month! I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Have a nice day, bye!
