Body Shop Make-up Brushes


As I mentioned before Body Shop is one of my top fave shops. 
And I have a good reason why :)
These are my Body Shop Make-up Brushes, they have been with me for around 5 years now and they're still rockin' haha.
So these were my first babies that I bought when I was getting into make-up ( I know you all remember that time when you would have survived with an eyeliner/mascara/lipgloss/sponge tip applicator and so on..)
woow thinking about it, that was so long ago
 ( you're thinking of your collection right now aren't you haha gotcha )

So back to the brushes, here in Malta there is no mac store ( I'm mentioning mac because when I was always surfing utube all the make-up gurus I watched where mac fanatics) so when  I was getting bored of the sponge tips and the applicators that came with the make up I realised that it was time for a mission to find some good make-up brushes. 

The magic happened when once I went into Body Shop to buy myself a new lip balm.
And there in the middle of the shop was this stand with brushes aaa I can't explain my excitement....
I ended buying all of the above, a sponge and an eyecurler which I forgot to add in this picture :/
I am going to show you close photos of these brushes individually, but I'll be reviewing one or two of them in a separate blog ( which I can't absolutely live without and yes my make up brushes collection has increased I own the complete set of sigma brushes)

So here is the eyeshadow brush

 it's flat with a round top it works well with pigments and to press on eyeshadow



Here is the blending brush if I remember well since the writing on the handle has faded away
It's dense with a round top
and quite flat from the sides this makes it the best blending brush because it's so precise..  






The Blush brush
I don't actually use it as a blush brush, but it works wonders to contour/bronze your cheekbones
It is also flatted out which makes applying bronzer accurately and dense to blend out.






The Powder Brush
It's quite dense and so so soft. It works for applying powder and even for blending bronzer all over the face
(the bits hanging out are my fault since I stored it incorrectly)





This is the comparison between the Body Shop powder blush on the right side and the Sigma powder brush F30




Thanks for watching :)

Body Shop Haul =D

Hi luvlies :)

Hope all of you have been fine :)

Yesterday I went in a lovely, tranquil, awesome place called tadadada ... BODY SHOP 
aaa how much I love this place, I'm a type of person that loves anything that has to do with showery/bath things and here in Malta we don't have the privilege of a Lush shop so the quiet nearest thing to that is Body Shop. 
Ever since I was a child I used to go in this shop with my aunt and she used to always buy me a product. I remember having almost all the lipbalms body shop offer... yeahhh I was a lipbalm junkie ;)

SO onto the haul...

I choose 3 products


I've never tried hair products by body shop but I've been hearing loads of good things about the banana shampoo and conditioner and I needed a soft, gentle shampoo and conditioner for my hair which has been very dry at the ends and for my hair extensions. I have not yet tried them but I'm going to do so tonight and may even review them later when I have my own opinion on them so I'm not going to go in detail about the smell, texture etc
the shampoo &

the conditioner

and than I got this Body wash


in green apple, I did not need this but I will tell you later why I got it. The smell is an amazing crispy fresh green apple scent exactly like it's name states. I haven't used this one yet so I'm not sure about the lather and the moisture it leaves onto the skin but I have used the strawberry and even the musky one and they lather pretty well.

I need to state that these are discontinued products so it might be kind of hard to find. These babies were in a basket mixed with other scented body washes which are also discontinued  and where on offer that if you buy 3 you will only pay €10, that is why I added the green apple body wash, I thought maybe thats not of a big of a bargain but when  I read the receipt it stated that every one of them retails for €5.50 so I got more than one of them for free which is awesome =) 

Thanks guys for reading, stay tuned for more body shop stuff I need to review :)
hope you have an awesome day
