We Want Fx

April 9th, 2009 | Author: Pumps And Gloss

I love brushes!!! My new obsession is powder and foundation brushes. I stumbled on the Cover Fx 190 brush, the newest brush in the arsenal. Since I have the Cover Fx kabuki brush (love and adore), I wanted to try another one of the face brushes.

The 190 brush aka Powder Foundation Buffing Brush is made of 100% Natural goat hair (unbleached). The bristles are full and tightly packed. I tell you this brush is very soft on my face. I, primarily, use the brush for setting powder. I must say that there was no shedding. (I have used other top brands that had brushes that shed on my face. *not good*) The application results were even and little to no streaking.

I feel like a professional artiste when I use the 190 brush. I think every professional artist and beauty enthusiast should have this brush.

Overall Rating: 4
Price [Value]: 4 – At $45, definitely pricey, but worth the price for makeup kit.
Packaging Quality: 5
Would you buy this product again? YES (because I love quality brushes)

There are a number of factors contributing to frustrating frizz and dried out strands, but as it turns out it, they could all be due to the city you call home. From looking at national averages of humidity/wind/rain/sun, water-hardness, pollution levels and even the number of salons in the area, Totalbeauty.com has located the worst cities for your ‘do. Did your city make the list?

Snuggle Alert

April 1st, 2009 | Author: Pumps And Gloss

As a new mom, I try make to time to pamper myself. But sometimes, household and mommy duties get in the way. I find that the new Snuggle Creme fabric softener helps you to do both. If you love the smell of Almond and Jojoba, the two new scents from Snuggle, you will enjoy this product. It leaves clothes feeling smooth, soft, and delightfully fresh to wear. Think of it as a treat for yourself and your clothes. The rich, creamy textures and delicate fragrance designed to leave clothes feeling smooth.

Funny story, when I use this product, people always ask me what perfume I am wearing. LOL

As you all know I love a bargain and/or coupon, so I am passing on a coupon for Snuggle Creme. Click here for a $2 off coupon.
