Welcome to the end of July, wishing us all an amazing August filled with all of Gods will for us.
Decided to purchase more products for my personal & Official makeup Kit with essential and exciting brands, Check them out below.
1) Sacha Butter Cup Setting powder; This is described by Sacha Cosmetics as; Flash-friendly and perfectly matches all skin tones. You won't look white in bright lighting and photos. It is super-soft, very finely milled and melts into your skin giving you a smooth, flawless, airbrush finish.
Jennifers GOODBUY OR GOOD BYE;
I tried it on a client through out this week and it worked perfectly well without looking too yellow, easy to blend after highlighting & cooking the under eye, nose and other highlighted areas. I also love the packaging, sleek and nice.
It's a GOODBUY for me.
2) Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set;

Jennifer's GOODBUY OR GOODBYE
This has been my go to brush set for anyone trying to buy a starter brush set, new to makeup or looking for a portable, easy to use brush set then this is it.
I already own one but I had to buy this for my personal use and this is how I use them.
I use the bigger brush to apply both liquid or cream foundation and apply my powder (yes with the same brush)
The smallest brush to outline my brows, lipstick application and to place eyeshadows in the inner tear duct for that sparkling effect, no wonder it's called a "Detailer brush"
The 3rd brush from the right to apply my Lighter shade of concealer to highlight my nose, chin, forehead and under eye area and apply a darker shade of concealer to low light under my cheek bone & jaw.
Finally I use the last brush from the right to apply a Bronzer on my cheek bone (if I can't find my fan brush) then blush and powder products to the areas I applied a darker shade of concealer or I just apply a darker shade of powder with it instead of applying cream products.
So this brush set comes in handy for me, the first one I got in 2013 is still at work 😂💪🏽.
It also comes In a black brush holder which you can easily place in your hand bag.
This is also definitely a GOODBUY for me.
3) Color Switch Duo.
This can be described by Vera mona below;
Stroke against the Duo sponge to completely remove eye shadow color to then switch to the next color. The Duo also has a sponge in the center that can be soaked with water or a fixing agent to then dampen a brush for wet makeup application.
Jennifer's GOODBUY OR GOODBYE
When I saw this amazing creation I couldn't wait to buy and try it. So I do and it truly worked. People are thinking though.
So when you use an eyeshadow and you need to use another shade you basically swipe your brush around the black area and I use the white area when I want to apply an eyeshadow wet, so you use a small spoon with water and pour into the small white area, stroke the brush in and apply your shadow wet!! Isn't this amazing?
It comes in a Tin packaging so it can't break even if it falls off your hand, and the cover has the product name and design as seen below.
Super GOODBUY for me mehn.
4) Nars Luminous Foundation is described as a Full and Natural coverage with unexpectedly weightless, 16-hour wear. Highly pigmented and perfectly balanced, this breakthrough formula builds and blends effortlessly with just one drop—the result of exclusive innovation uniquely designed to deliver long-wearing full coverage, weightlessly. Shake, pump and blend in sections for complete coverage that's completely natural looking.
Jennifer's GOODBUY or GOODBYE. I have a mixed feeling about this particular product, not that it isn't great but I got a wrong shade of colour so its not a GOODBUY nor GOODBYE for me but I tried it on a client and It was awesome, my friend and colleague Jide of Stola recommended this product and I decided to give it a try. It's not a total loss for me because I can use it on my clients.
But what I did was I applied a darker shade of Bobbi brown foundation and Nars Luminous foundation in New Guniea and it looked nice but the application started smearing even after I applied a face powder.
So I guess not all brand foundations get along.
But I love the packaging, it's truly prestigious but fragile though because it's made of glass.
Here's a photo of me wearing the foundation with Bobbi brown foundation applied first.
5) Anastasia Beverly Hills Covet Water Proof Eyeliner in Midnight is described as it Applies silky, smudge-proof color anywhere, even inside the waterline. Create anything from perfectly precise cat eyes to avant-garde designs. Available in rich, crave-worthy shades and featuring a built-in sharpener.
Jennifer's GOODBUY OR GOODBYE; I don't even know why I decided to buy this shade though after I applied the shade in Midnight I started getting irritated, my eyes were red and itchy but I didn't think it would be this so I decided to give it a try for 2 awesome days and behold it was the eyeliner so I stopped using it, may be I would try it on someone else and see if it's just only me.
I'm so careful when it comes to buy an eyeliner because it's a very delicate part of ones body.
This is a a GOODBYE for me.
6) Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Creme Colour in JET. Described as Ultra-pigmented, waterproof color for the eyes that won’t crease or smudge. Remove with waterproof eye makeup remover.
Jennifer's GOODBUY or GOODBYE; I love this one right here, it applied smoothly and it's very dark. I use an angled brush to apply this product.
And it comes in a round medium size glass container with the ABH logo placed boldly on the cover below.
