GET BRUSHING

your skin Higher Dose’s Supercharge Copper Body Brush. I love dry brushing. It is a great way to exfoliate your skin and get your lymphatic system moving. If you are going to do it why not amplify it with the power of Copper. The copper bristles release ions that affect your energy state. The bristles are humanly sourced from Natural horse hair. They do not hurt or scrape too hard, just the perfect amount of pressure. This is not good for sensitive skin, but all others should try it. I do it most days but always on days when I am going to apply self tanner. It helps for a flawless application.

Is the best makeup brush I have used in my life. Makeup By Mario’s F4 Dual Ended Foundation and Face Brush can do it all. This dual ended brush is not only the best foundation brush I have ever used, it’s also amazing for bronzing, contouring, blush, highlighter, you name it! You can use it with liquids, creams, and powders. It moves and blends product effortlessly. My favorite thing about it is how it lays the foundation absolutely perfect. You will not regret adding this to your life.

BRUSH UP ON BETTER TOOLS….

I have found a unique and outstanding foundation brush. Jems Foundation Brush is perfect for beginners and experts. This uniquily angled brush allows you to evenly blend foundation all over your face. It gets into every crevice and makes sure products is evenly distributed. I think it is great for thick foundations that you normally have to do some work to blend into the skin. It is soft and dense. It worked beautifully with both my liquid and powder foundations. I think it is also great for blending out contour. I can’t wait to try the rest of the brushes in this line.

THE PINNACLE OF BRUSHES….

Anisa Beauty’s Pinnacle Foundation Brush is the best foundation brush I have ever used. It leaves an even, airbrushed, finish. It pushes product into the skin keeping it where you want. The triangular dome allows a flawless application around every feature. The brush hairs are soft and densely packed. I feel there was no waisted foundation being sucked into the brush instead of on the skin. If you care about your cosmetics you should care just as much about your beauty tools. Great tools really make a difference. I am also obsessed with their concealer brush. All Anisa Brushes are Vegan, which in my experience works better than natural hair. I love the purple color of the handles. The whole line looks great on your vanity.

READY FOR TAKEOFF….

I really like Fieldtrip Skincare’s Ready for Takeoff Dermaplane Wand. I have tried many different dermaplane devices and they are not all created equally. I like the angle of the handle on this. It is easy to grip and feel like you have complete control. The blades are very sharp. My skin felt smoother immediately. It was easy to use and I didn’t feel like there was a threat of nicking myself. I think this is a great tool to have at home. It makes skin absorb products better, and improves the overall texture. I’m shocked how inexpensive it is!

SOLO PLAY…

I love my Solawave Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand. This tool is so easy to use, and does not take long to do a treatment. To me those are the two most important qualities in an at home device. This wand is actually very affordable as well. Solawave has their own line of recommended products to use with this device. I used my own serums and had wonderful results. You are best to use a product like a Hyaluronic Acid (which I did) or something Water or Aloe Vera based. Reapply if it dries into your skin before you finish your treatment. You want that “slip” there to help move the wand and transfer the microcurrent . The wand uses Red Light Therapy for radiance and antiaging effects as well as fighting dark spots and blemishes. The Microcurrent Therapy stimulates the deeper layers of your skin while the facial massage from the low vibration fights puffiness. Lastly the Therapeutic Warmth helps promote better penetrations of your products.

USING BOTH ENDS…

of Laura Geller’s Dual Ended Concealer and Foundation Brush. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this brush. I was using what I thought was the best out there, but this did better with my heavy liquid foundations somehow. It is dual ended which makes it great for travel. The bigger, denser, side is the part of this brush that I love. It easily spread my foundation evenly and without the need of much pressure. I found the product did not stick too much to the brush, instead staying on my skin where I want it. The smaller angled side is for concealing. For me I did not find it worked well with my liquid concealer. However, I used it as a highlighter brush with fantastic results. Since it is angled and small and can get to those angles perfectly. I think both sides would be great for contouring as well.

to do your roots at home with Clairol’s Nice’N Easy Permanent Root Touch-Up. It’s a 10 minute at home root color kit. You get plastic gloves, the color, and a special brush to get all the roots. I chose the perfect color match my first time, no problem. I leave it on for 15 minutes, though the instructions say to do 10.  It completely covered my grays and was so easy to use. It’s perfect to use when you’re trying to extend the time between salon visits, or as you’re only coverage method.

NEED A GIFT IDEA FOR FATHER’S DAY?…

I recommend a backpack from Nomatic. They are extremely well made and keep to a very sleek style. I’ve never been a backpack person, but ever since I received mine it has become my travel go-to. It’s with me whether on the road for work or as a carry on for vacation. Nomatic’s bags come with a lifetime warranty. The basic pack I have has over 20 innovative features, is water resistant, has a laptop sleeve, sunglasses case, and 24 compartments for my organization obsession. My favorite feature is the side handle so I can hold it like a briefcase if I don’t want to wear it on my back. This bag is great as a gift, and a gift you may end up stealing, I mean borrowing…

MAY I ….

tell you what I’m into lately. I found an amazing makeup sponge that is super cheap. It’s the Real Techniques Miracle Airblend Mattifying Beauty Makeup Sponge. I use it for almost every step of my makeup. It gives a flawless foundation finish, and blends your bronzers, blushes, and highlighters beautifully. It has a flat edge, rounded sides, and precision tip to get all over your face. As with all these sponges they work better when you use them wet.

I’m puckering up with Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper. I’m not one to use lip plumping products but I was sent this for free, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. OMG this stuff actually works. My lips were immediatly plumped and left with beautiful shine too.

I’m getting Big Hair with Tresemme’s One Step 5 in 1 Texture spray. It makes my beach waves look dramatic, and it revives next day hair. I usually use aerosol texture sprays, this seems to have a stronger grip.

Try out my May finds, and let me know yours….
