Angel SaSa Makeup Brushes review and Giveaway



I have tried many makeup brushes but I am always on the search for brushes that will make my life easier or make my face look like it's been professionally done. I believe that improper makeup application is not only lack of knowing how to apply makeup but lack of proper tools. But with so many makeup brushes and tools out there how do you know how to use all the different brushes. 

I purchased a set of 32 makeup brushes and had no idea how to use at least half of them. I improvised and used them the way I thought they should be used but I never knew if I was right. If I wasn't right what was the point of me having so many brushes if they were not doing the job they were intended for?

I'm not saying that you can never use your brush for something other than it's intended "job" because I'm sure we all do that. What I'm saying is it's nice to have knowledge of how to use them correctly where they all work as a team to have your makeup application look like it was professionally done. 




I was so happy to work with Angel SaSa and review their makeup brushes. The storage case is adorable and girly with gold sequins and a pretty silky gold ribbon to tie it closed. The case is very well made and an extremely good quality. All of the sequins are firmly in place even after I have pulled and tugged it out of the drawer. It is silky on the inside so your brushes rest on a soft surface while not in use. 



All of the brushes come with protectors but I will confess, I never use them. I always misplace them or toss them when I take them off. I probably shouldn't I know that would keep my brushes in better condition but that's something I will work on. 



When I opened the case I feel in love all of these brushes are amazing. They are so soft and an awesome quality. The metal that holds the bristles together is on tight and I have experienced no fall out so far. 




There is a card that comes with a breakdown of every brush and how to use each one. That is great because there is no guess work on how to properly use the brushes. I cannot express how nice these brushes are to use. They are soft yet firm enough to give my makeup a beautiful. smooth, professional look.  Since the brushes come with detailed instructions, I can use each one exactly how I should and get the results I want.

I love how my makeup looks after I apply it with these brushes it is smooth and flawless looking. The also feel amazing to use. The soft bristles are so gentle against my skin. At my request, my hubby ran one against his arm and said Wow these do feel nice.

This is the perfect set for a beginner or an experienced makeup user. A beginner will appreciate the detailed instructions and the quality.  An experienced user will appreciate the quality, ease of use, and the professional application. So you can't go wrong!

YALMEH Foundation Brush


I prefer to apply my foundation with a brush so I have tried lots of different designs.  I have found some that  I really like and I find that every different shape applies foundation a little differently. The application of foundation is a big deal because as the name states it is the foundation of your make up. Any flaw or line in foundation can be seen very clearly and I hate that.

Before I applied with brushes or before I learned to check, double check, then triple check (all in different lighting) I would always notice my foundation lines in the car on the way to work. That was Always fun trying to rub it in.

I was very excited to try the YalMeh Foundation Brush but when I opened the box it is a really interesting shape and seemed really small to me.




 I was very impressed when I used the brush. My foundation went on extremely smooth and blended very quickly with no lines. The bristles are super soft but the foundation does not get absorbed into it. The shape of the tip makes it easy to apply foundation under/around my eyes and nose. 

The handle is a nice durable quality and the bristles are firmly attached.l I experienced no fall out when using this brush. It's not bulky or heavy so it's very easy to hold and transfer from one position to another. I really like this brush. I like it over some I thought I loved. That's why I never stop trying new products, I just never know. 

If you are in the market for a foundation brush I would recommend trying this one. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free in exchange for my honest opinion but the opinion expressed is all mine. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Wantable Makeup box




So I've told you about the Wantable Jewelry box now I'm here to tell you about the Wantable MakeUp box.  I have told you about other boxes but with Wantable you get a box packed with full size unique, specialty, and premium brands chosen just for you. Like I've mentioned before when you sign up for Wantable the process is very fun and detailed. You go through likes, dislikes, and loves to give insight into what your perfect box would be.

This process always fun to me because I have a little control over what I get. They will never send you what you dislike so if I don't want mascara (which I didn't) I you just put you dislike it. If you really want tools (which I did) you put you love it.  They also go through colors which is great because that will stop me from getting red lip sticks that I won't wear.

I got my box so fast it seemed like it was delivered over night so there is hardly any waiting once you order.
This is the amazing products that were in my box.

Japonesque Angled Foundation Brush which retails for $24.50. This brush looks an amazing brush the idea of it being angled seems like it will make it perfect to get in the corners of your face.




A full size Girlacitk Beauty Star Shadow in  BalletThat is a single shadow which is a deep purple color.  Retail price $19.00per shadow. There are lots of other pretty colors to choose from. I can't wait to see how it wears.








Full size FACE Stockholm Concealer Stick in Medium which sells for $19.00. When I swatched it the stick was soft and went on smoothly. The coverage blended beautifully with my skin and it felt very light.  I can see this working very well and can't wait to try it.




Full size Color Club polish in Baldwin Blues which retails for $8.00 a bottle. I have mentioned before that I love blue polish and this one is spectacular being such a deep blue.

As a bonus I got a sample of Skiin Instant Skin Tightener & Line Filler which is super exciting because it is designed to help the wrinkles around the eyes by instantly tightening and lifting the skin. I can't wait to try this either. The sample looks like it will be at least a few applications.

So you can see that the quiz really works I got a box full of things I love and nothing that I can't use.

So a Wantable box is $36.00 per month or $40.00 for a one time delivery and you can cancel at any time. The total retail of all these products is $70.50 so it is definitely worth the money.  Once again Wantable proves to be an amazing subscription service. I have not tried the intimate but if I do you'll be the first to know what I think. The only problem I would have is deciding which box to subscribe to Jewelry, MakeUp or Intimate box delivered every month.  One day I will have to sneak them all into my budget!
