Beauty ¦ Bella and bear makeup brushes

 

Is it just me or can you never have enough brushes. I'm always short of a clean blending brush or a fresh foundation brush. So when the lovely people over at Bella and bear offered to send me some of their new brush range I was super happy to try them out.

 

 

First off they sent me the Lberian lynx brow brush* which is a super small angled brush which works well for both winged liner and for getting a really precise brow. The spooley on the other end is nice and firm and doesn't take out to much product when you run it through the brows. This is a really lovely quality brush which has washed really well. I think I may have finally found my perfect brow brush.

 



Next up they sent me over the Lynx foundation brush* which is a very dense stippling brush. Personally this doesn't work for me as a foundation brush however for cream blushes and bronzers it's fabulous. Due to how dense it is it picks up enough pigment so that it isn't blended away. This brush has also washed very well and the bristles are really nice and soft.

 



Finally they sent me over the Cats eyes eye brush set* I really like the variety of shapes and sizes of brushes in this set however in all honesty I found the small tapered brush and the blending brush to have very scratchy bristles. Once I'd washed them they have softened a little however I only tend to reach for them when I have no other clean brushes. This being said I love the brow brush and the crease brush. The crease brush is the perfect size for my eye and I always find it applies a really nice neat bit of colour into the crease. Finally for this set is the flat shadow brush. I don't use these often but this is nice and dense and it packs the colour on well.

 



Overall I'd recommend the Bella and bear brushes as they are affordable but good quality.

Nail magic - Wet high gloss top coat.

I am rubbish with nail polishes, I never use a base or topcoat but since receiving this I haven't left my nail un top coated (Nice one cole that makes loads of sense). The Nail Magic - Wet high gloss topcoat* leaves the most beautiful glossy finish on the nails and makes nail polishes wear for double the time. The only tiny problem I have with this is the fact it takes quite a while to dry there is a couple of times I've been to bed after nail painting and woken up with duvet marks in my polish (They are literally the most annoying thing ever!) The formula is very liquidy and it can drip of the brush if there is too much on it so you need to be careful your brush isn't overloaded. 

Overall I'm super impressed with this, if you're in the market for a new top coat give this one a go.

Nanshy The masterful collection

Nanshy Masterful collection blending brush*  //Here//

Nanshy's Masterful collection is coming, a super sleek makeup brush set for face eyes and lips with the choice of black or white handles what more could a gal want. The brushes in this collection are all vegan and cruelty free. So the lovely people at nanshy sent me over one of the brushes from the collection to try, here's what I thought. 

I have never tried any of the Nanshy brushes before this one and I'm super impressed. The quality is second to none and even though I was sent the mini version the handle is still very sturdy. The brush feels very well made and the bristles are lovely and soft. So far I've used this for both eyeshadow and concealer and it worked really well for both. It washes really well and there was no shedding at all, even on the first wash! 

I'm not 100% sure when these launch but you can find lots more information //Here//

Bella and bear eyelash curlers.

Bella and bear eyelash curlers £12.99* //Here//

Eyelash curlers are something I used to be so terrified of but I now use on a daily basis. I was super impressed with these they are really sturdy and I reckon they would face a full bashed about makeup bag with no problems. I find sometimes the handles on eyelash curlers can be to small for my ridiculously large sausage fingers! But these are really nice. I also like that the plastic on the handles make then a little comfier to hold. As for the actual lash curling these are the only curlers I've ever found that can get all of my lashes in one go as not only do I have abnormally large fingers I have eyes to match. So if you have little eyes you may have to be a little more careful. These curl the lashes nicely and I've found that my lashes keep the hold well throughout the day. 

Overall I'm super impressed with these lash curlers although I'm not sure I would recommend them to someone with small eyes!
