Black Vegan Case W/ Fragile Stretchy String/Metal Piece FELL OFF

I was excited to receive Kevyn Aucoin's Notebook style brush holder..but while opening this UNFORTUNATELY a metal piece fell off the stretchy String's end. IT'S BRAND NEW! ****Huge Disappointment... .👀 // ------\\

Other than that I am happy with this case. It features various sized elastic loops inside to secure brushes in place with a brush flap and a lower pocket. It folds over landscape style-horizontally to become a working brush easel. This is where you pull the string to secure the easel in place. I hope it doesn't lose another piece in the future. Fingers crossed. I love Kevyn Aucoin's whole cosmetic line and have collected almost all his brushes & a ton of makeup. The line is normally impeccable so I'm not sure what happened with this defective piece. I know Sephora has a similar binder that costs less but if you're in love with Kevyn Aucoin's stuff like I am you still may want this brush roll.

2 stars

No pigment on the brush.......a dried out consistency on the brush......I'm not sure if I just received a defective factory product that is dried out or this is the way CT's brow gels are...............?

J.S.'S LIQUID LIPSTICKS SAGITTARIUS-DIVA-CHRYSANTHEMUM-ANDROGYNY

Like all products that are unique, sometimes special attention is needed to ROCK 'DEM LIPS achieving the best coverage. So .................. I notice they WORK BEST on clean exfoliated lips & the liquid lips need to be shaken well. Chrysanthemum is such a delicate color and can separate but the packaging does say to SHAKE WELL. So I hold THE TUBE between my palms and roll it back & forth to mix & warm the ingredients. I haven't had the issues some have encountered with this color.

CHRYSANTHEMUM IS Actually my FAVORITE COLOR.

My favorite way to wear it is to (Contour My Lips) I use the Androgyny Wand & line my lips, leaving the middle of the lips bare. I wait for Androgyny to set and then fill in the middle lip area with Chrysanthemum....It's a beautiful mixture of color. The photo swatch is L-R...........>>>❤️Sagittarius, Diva, Chrysanthemum, Androgyny💄 Enjoy!!!

LIL' WONDA' BRUSH... CONCEALER/ BUFFING & BLENDING BRUSH

Kevyn Aucoin's products don't let me down...This synthetic brush is one of the first brushes I reach for to touch up, conceal, buff & blend small areas with. The semi-dense buffing brush does exactly what its designed to do...buff or blend concealer. I also use this to lay down my eyelid primer & powder.

The brush design has KA's recognizable style.....A dark ferrule with a shimmery dark burgundy handle encased in acrylic with the brushes name embossed on it. KA.'s brushes aren't numbered.

So I watched a K.A. tutorial where the MUA used the buffing side for blending eyeshadow. Thinking out of the box! I suppose you shouldn't be hindered by a name on a brush and if it works for other things like blending eyeshadow...Go For It...I did....and it worked great for blending my eyeshadow.

The double ended LIL' Wonda'.

ROSE GOLD BOOK THAT CONVERTS INTO BRUSH DISPLAY

The design on this Brush Easel is unique. It looks like a CD wallet when zipped closed. The outer cover has a vegan Pink Gold finish with a zipper tassel. When you open it, it folds over horizontally across the spine of the wallet to create an easel. There are tabs that snap together to hold it in place. The brush slots are made of plastic and vary in size. I attached a picture of my brush easel to show what the largest brush slot could hold. My Marc Jacobs buffer was way too big to fit the slots, but most of my brushes did.

Thanks Beautylish for assisting me in getting the easel together.

I Keep this displayed with my brushes at the ready!

POWDERY NON-PIGMENTED FORMULA

I've used Innovative Technology (IT) products such as their CC Full coverage makeup, serums, brushes & their Ombre bronzer which is great.

I decided to try this neutral looking palette for a different look. When I swatched 5 of the colors, they all appeared to be the same pale white powder color. The brown & black did show up, but were just ok. I rated the palette 1 star because of the poor pigmentation performance & it not being a "Naturally Pretty" palette as advertised. Sorry IT cosmetics, but this didn't work out for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

SKINDINAVIA MAKEUP MIST BULLETPROOFS YOUR MAKEUP!!!

So I have quite a few facial sprays. Some for toning or refreshing my skin & then there is "MY GO TO SETTING SPRAY" for bullet proofing my make-up to last on those special occasions that include partying, dancing or special events. But I read an article about a setting spray that MUA swear by and use at Fashion Week shows to lock down makeup.

Now I don't typically care for alcohol based skin products, but makeup setting sprays that are EXCEPTIONAL & work well at SUPERGLUING my makeup in place contain alcohol. It's been the URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER.

I did a little research & checked the ingredients list on both URBAN DECAY & SKINDINAVIA and they are literally IDENTICAL...! That's because URBAN DECAY ALL- NIGHTER is manufactured by SKINDINAVIA.

I do like the fact that SKINDINAVIA'S 3RD ingredient is Aloe Leaf Extract... a great component for the skin, but they are basically the same setting spray, just a different name. I'm more apt to use SKINDINAVIA now, because I know they are the original bullet proofing makeup setter.

I highly recommend this formula for setting your makeup in place, making it budge proof.

JOUER'S MINI Compacts leave a healthy Glow of Shimmery light! Derm Tested!

Boxed set # 1 includes a Trio of MINI best-selling Highlighters in silver compacts. They include:

1. Citrine 2. Rose Quartz 3. Topaz I used my new Wayne Goss XMAS 2017 brush and dipped into each color. I highlighted my eye base and then around my forehead, temple & checkbones. The color leaves a healthy glow to your skin. It's not headlight blinding like 2 brands I can think of but still leaves a look of vibrancy. I'm sure you could really kick up the color if you used wet or a shader brush. Personally, I have never hit pan on any of the many highlighters I own and these may be the perfect size for me.

I also purchased the 2nd boxed set which is also advertised as weekender sized MINI highlighter.

The 2nd set includes best sellers:

1. Skinny Dip 2. Ice 3. Rose Gold

The colors are shimmery & don't kick up powder or leave a ton of product behind while gliding smoothly across the skin. They're also Paraben & Gluten Free & Dermatologist tested.

The white box they come in is decorative with Gold Dots and the 3 compacts are displayed in cutout slots within... I didn't check the wear time of these highlighters but the compact is small enough to fit in a tiny pocket for touch ups.

Either boxed set would make a great gift......to yourself or a friend...Enjoy!

Natural Wash of natural sheer pinkcolor with/shimmers

The packaging is cute, shaped like a pink bullet with a silver dome...I ordered many of JS's colors over the cyber holidays. Beauty Pageant would work great as a topper over any color you want to add a moist sheer shimmery color to.

Beautylish Customer service helped with this order, patiently replacing one of my products with no hassle...Thank You Beautylish Staff for setting the bar on Assisting & offering solutions for Your loyal online shoppers.

OCC's Lip Tars / VEGAN MAKEUP LINE

OCC is a vegan makeup line. Their lip tars are highly concentrated, have a thick texture and it only takes a small amount to achieve a glossed lip. Even less for a lip stain. They contain hemp & a peppermint scent. Don't forget to mix your lip color. I roll the tube between my palms to mix any settled ingredients.

DASH is a glossy light nude on my lips...If you're familiar with Jeffree Star's Liquid Lipsticks Androgyny & Mannequin, well...... Dash is their lip child.

LUSH appears as a dark plum color. It also will lighten out depending on the amount applied.

OCC makes 'FEATHERED', a white lip tar that can be used to create your own color or mute a darker color down.
