Get yourself some snacks or nonperishable canned goods because this is a monster post! Welcome back to part 2 of the ‘Japanese Brush Starter Kit’, today we’re talking face brushes! In an attempt to make sense of the vast variety of brushes available, I’ve broken it down to 10 different categories so you can customise your own ‘face brush kit’ ?

So… Hi! I’ve been a bad beauty blogger but let’s not dwell. Instead, let’s talk about the new NARS Velvet Lip Glide formula, which NARS claims ‘glides like a gloss, cloaks like a lipstick, blends upon contact’. If you’re over the whole matte liquid lipstick trend, good news: It’s not a matte liquid lip. I’m not sure I’d even call it a velvet but we’re getting ahead of ourselves, look at the pretty swatch video I made…
Slow bow. Thank you, thank you. Song can be found here!
Let’s get the boring bits out of the way. There’s a standard doe foot applicator, unfortunately no diamond shaped app ..read more
