My Heroine : Ecotools Bamboo Bronzer Brush

It's been a long time since i did a brush review ~

Actually, i'm going to be lazier to write a review. I guess it's because i spent too many times google-ing (is it even a word? haha) about beauty product : fotd, eotd, lotd, swatch, review .. and discuss it. My head is kinda full now >____<"

So let's makes my own review!

As you might know, i'm a blush junkie. Especially the pigmented one, because they have longer staying power and a little goes VERY long because you only need a few amount, right?

And you maybe know, most of the pigmented blushes are hard to blend. Sometimes stipping brush are not helping. What to use?

Let me introduce you to my beloved heroine : Ecotools Bamboo Bronzer Brush *^___^*

As long as i know, Ecotools using a synthetic hair brush. And the bristle is made from light weight wood.

If you found that mine is quite different with the one in market right now, it's because mine is the old version brush. The new version seem has fewer hair and different bristle color.

 

see how fluffy is this? ^____^

now to the proof ..

remember this blush swatch?

i posted it in my review, swatch and comparison of the balm instain powder blush in Toile.

The top one, Instain Toile and the bottom one, Sleek Lace are ultra pigmented blush. They tend to leave stain on skin, and they're very hard to blend *____*

So this is what i'm doing for that type of blush : Swipe, Swipe and Swipe using ecotools bamboo bronzer brush!

can you see the result? very well blended!

but see what happened to Benefit Bella Bamba swatch (the middle one) which is not staining? they're all gone!

My beloved heroine works really well for ultra pigmented blush. But i will never suggest it to be use for soft blush.

For the price (i think i purchased it at 120,000 idr), it does a good job. As long as i remember, i didn't find any hair loss during the washes.

If you love a fluffy, well made brush, then get your hand for it.

It's worth every cents ^o^

April 2013 : The Love & The Empties

Hallo May!

And there are my love and my empties from last month ~
(time flies! it's still feels like january or so)

first, the LOVES ..

Lot's of product!

i'd start from top left ..

Illamasqua light liquid foundation LF 210

It's my first illamasqua product, not very impressing but i found it not bad either. It has no SPF so i'm only use it at night. As the name sound, it's light and has a low coverage.

Review coming someday ~ LOL

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer

LOVE!

It contains of 3 concealer cream and 1 setting powder. I found the setting powder is too light for me, but the concealers are great!

Mentholatum Acnes SPF 50 PA +++

a tinted suncreen with high SPF number, as i always adore.

i've reviewed here.

The Balm Instain Powder Blush in Toile

very pigmented and add a lovely strawberry flush on my cheek.

i've write about it here.

Tocca Graciella mini rollerball

Tocca Graciella said to be an honour to Grace Kelly. It's nice, sophisticated and i found it does match my mood. Also the size is nice to travelling.

Perfumies Solid Stick in Forever Young

i got it from Beauty Treats April Box (been write about it here), first i dont like it. Then someday i tried it and love it. The sillage is lovely for a solid form fragrance, and staying power is about 5-6 hours.

Cheap, and works so well.

the bronzer is nice enough for contouring and the highlighter is lovely!

sometimes i think i love it more than the balm's mary lou.

It tooks me so LONG to found it's real function .. it could blend any ultra-pigmented powder blush like dream!

I use it to blend my Instain Toile and Sleek Blush by 3 (which are also in this list).

Never be hesitant to use any bright and ultra pigmented blush. That's why ecotools bamboo bronzer brush are made!

Etude Wonderpore Freshner

mine is in 500ml size. it's big!

i love it and i think i'll repurchase someday..

my review about it is here

Natur E Daily nourishing lotion

Is my new product. I has a lovely fresh scent i adore. They said it has a sun protection but never state the number. I keep using it simply because it's not sticky and handy.

i've got some back up bottle, and will continue using it at least until i've emptied my back up.

Innisfree jeju volcanic pore toner

I haven't write about it .. maybe soon (that's why there are some liquid left).

It gives me no special effect but also doesnt break me out.

I think i wouldn't repurchase.

Pepsodent Complete Care Mouthwash

it leaves a strange feeling after used, but i think it's quite effective .. so maybe i'll repurchase in future.
