Gift Idea: By a Girl Beauty File Compartment Organizational Makeup Bag

Beauty File Compartment Organizational Makeup Bag

There are aspects of my life where I’m so very organized but my purse, tote, or handbag is not such a place. I tend to throw things into my bag nilly willy which creates a rather big old mess. I think part of this stems from when I’m in line and I pay for something and just kinda toss my change into my purse. This developed into a habit of me tossing everything into my bag and going.

This also results in me panicking because I think I lost my iPhone or my iPad or my Kindle or my wallet because I simply can’t find it amongst the mess of money, receipts, makeup, and other do-dads I have in my bag.

Perhaps the By a Girl Beauty File 9 Compartment Organizational Makeup Bag will help, at the very least, to organize my the makeup I carry with me.

Japonesque Safari Chic Mini Brush Set Review

Japonesque Safari Chic Mini Brush Set ($29.95) is a trio of mini synthetic brushes that are cruelty free. Typically synthetic brushes don’t always turn out great for me….for some reason I end up with ones that shed, have scratchy bristles, or just aren’t dense enough to apply makeup properly.

Japonesque Safari Chic Mini Brush Set Trio

However, on occasion I run into some that are worthy of some attention. Is the Japonesque Safari Chic Mini Brush Trio one of those great synthetic brush sets?

You NEED: E.L.F. Studio Concealer Brush

E.L.F. Studio Concealer Brush

I’m the type that has applied concealer using my fingers for years and years and years. I’ve never met a concealer brush I like to use. Most have thin bristles and don’t really do very much to get concealer into place.

After discovering Sephora’s Concealer Brush my life changed but prior to that and forever after my main concealer brush squeeze is the three buck E.L.F. Studio Concealer Brush.

You NEED it!

Stila Holiday 2012 Brush Set Review

Stila Holiday 2012 Brush Set

Dude, the hardest thing in the world about Holiday beauty shopping is choosing a Brush Set. We can sit around and tell ourselves we have far to many brushes and we don’t need more. But the Holiday comes and with it massive brush sets and all that pep talk goes right out the window.

We start reverse pep talking ourselves into actually buying MORE brushes because they are such a good deal.

Sigh…the life of a beauty junkie. We need to spend more money on therapy than beauty.

The Stila Holiday 2012 Brush Set ($28) passed across my desk recently and of course, I instantly had to share it with you!

E.L.F. Studio Small Stipple Brush Review

ELF Studio Small Stipple Brush 1

One of the biggest complaints I’m hearing about the new E.L.F. HD Blushes has to do with the application. These are so powerfully pigmented they prove a little difficult to apply and sheer out on lighter or even medium skin tones.

No worries, here’s a budget brush from E.L.F. for application!
