Free shipping
FACE:
F14 Small Contour/Blush brush €11
This brush works with everything pretty much – Foundation application, Blending, contouring/highlighting. I find it works best with powders and I love it for applying blush but it works best with powders.
I love the shape of this brush its lovely to work with!
F15 Small Tapered €11
This brush is awesome!! Think of it like a tapered blending brush you’ve use on your eyes but bigger so it can be used on the face. Awesome for getting that Kim K contoured look! I love it!!
Available in two colours – Red/Black
F16 Large Tapered €16
This is the older sister of the small tapered brush, this brush it a larger fuller brush. The tapered tip works like the small tapered brush but the fullness then blends it out to create softer contours.
F17 Pointed Tip Concealer €6
This flat brush with its synthetic bristles works like a brush for applying concealer. You won’t waste any product as it doesn’t absorb the concealer so you get the coverage you want right where you want it.
F18 Short Duo Fibre €12
This brush is so cute! Think of your typical duo fibre but then pop it in a shrink machine and you get this! It’s tiny but still big enough to use on the face. Work with EVERYTHING!! I use for foundation (though it does take longer you get a great finish) works great with concealer and even face/eye primer BUT WAIT there’s more, works awesome with cream blush, highlighter and even mineral powder product! All that from one brush, I know right AWESOME!
F19 Dome Foundation Brush €12
Okay take a typical flat foundation brush and make it a million times better and you get this brush! Yay! It’s a dome shaped synthetic which works for pretty much everything.
F20 Flat Top Kabuki €20
If you follow my video that I don’t really need to tell you much about how much I love this brush. I have a full tutorial using it works for applying – moisturiser, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, highlighter, contour. Everything your little heart desires! It a serious favourite of mine!
EYES!
E23 Short Pencil €6
This is a pretty typical pencil brush but what I love about this is that is not too long or short and not rigid or flimsy just right!
E24 Blending Brush €6
If you are looking to only buy one eye brush then this is the ONE! It applies and blend just everything!
E25 Tapered Blending Brush €6
One of my favourites and one that I reach for everyday. Prefect for blending out edges and smooth harsh shadow line. Also awesome for using with concealer J
E26 Flat Shader Brush €6
This brush might look very familiar to MAC lovers it sooo like the 239 which is the only MAC brush that I would use over and over again forget the high €24 price no this baby is €6!
E27 Cute Mini Shader €6
This is a little baby brush! Its tiny I love it. Works great for applying shadow under the eye or right in that inner corner.
E28 Ultra Fine Liner
Perfect for precise application of cream/gel/ liquid liner! Not too long not to short -smooth finish!
E30 Double Ended Brow/Spoolie
I use this every day! Even if I am not wearing makeup I always do my brows. The angle applies shadow and cream to fill in the brows and the spoolie brushes them in place!
Last but not least the lips!
L29 Lip Brush
Cute shape for that perfect finish!! Love!
I have to say you can really tell that theses are PRO brushes, so much work as gone into creating this and it really shows! I think these brushes could be the next big thing especially for those of us living in Europe as its an Irish based company.

Here's a look I did about a week ago; I was playing with makeup because my sister wanted me to be in her youtube video, lol. The look I ended up doing seemed a bit Bridal to me so I took some pictures in case I wanted to use it for the current Makeupbee contest. (It's a Bridal Look contest sponsored by BFTE, one of my favorite companies, so I had to enter!)
You can check out my entry here and "Luv" to vote :) I'm not crazy about the photo I used but it was one of the only ones that actually showed the makeup and was in focus, lol.
Now here's an odd smattering of photos for you to peruse if you wish.. I was experimenting with my camera tripod and remote in natural lighting so the pictures all look a bit different. The ones that look completely washed out were taken that way so it's hard to see the makeup but I thought they were nice photos anyway. *shrug*
The flash went off unexpectedly so I was sort of squinting, lol. This was taken before I added the falsies and stuff.
I didn't get many close-up shots of the makeup but here's the eyeshadow..

So I am fighting my urge to do a natural look and add a little navy smoke to this look. You seem to like it though (so far) so that's good. It was inspired by so many thing including the new dress I bought in NewLook that I might wear to my cousins wedding not sure I need to lose a but more weight first though.

Hey guys! The OCC/Makeupbee contest results are in and I just wanted to update for anyone who missed it; I wasn't chosen as one of the 3 winners but I was in THE TOP 10 (#10 out of 542 entries!!) which, needless to say, I'm pretty jazzed about! I've entered almost all of the Makeupbee contests they've had and never made it this far, so I'm really happy.
I need to say a very sincere and heart-felt THANK YOU to every single person who took the time to vote for my entry; I was able to be in the top 10 because of your votes and it makes me so thankful to have such awesome friends/family/people supporting me and what I love to do. When I needed you guys, you were there for me and I'm truly grateful to you all<333
There are always contests going on over at Makeupbee and I plan to keep entering so keep an eye out for me! ;)
On another note, I'm not as actively blogging at the moment because life is pretty busy. I have an event coming up next weekend and will likely be without internet for several days next week.
Also it's been a fairly crazy couple of days, involving a broken water heater and an inch of water in our basement so yeah, lol.
Anyway, thanks again for all your help and support.. I'm truly blessed. I hope you all have a great weekend, thanks for reading! :D
