Unboxed: Happy Skin Strobing Kit and Contour Stick with swatches

Remember this look? See that glow and sculpted cheekbone? That was all @happyskin_ph #glistenup Just added a little bronzer on top of the contour for a little more warmth to the face. The Glisten Up sticks have a lot of things going for them. First, how pretty is that packaging? I'm not usually swayed by this but if the product is good, equally good packaging doesn't hurt. Second, the shades are lovely. The highlight is this champagne color that's so flattering on medium skintones which makes sense since this brand was made by Filipinas for Filipinas. The blush is suprisingly flattering too, BTW. It kinda looks too intense and scary when swatched but it blends beautifully and just melts into your skin to produce a unique rosy glow. Let's not forget the contour stick. It's this grayish brown shade that some find necessary for contouring to create that shadow. Third, they are all easily blendable with no tools needed just your own fingers. Fourth and last, they come in little chubby sticks that don't need sharpening so they'd be perfect to travel with this summer. Check them out at the Beauty Bar nearest you or at #plainsandprints stores. This post was not sponsored in any way.

Brush Review. The MAC 221 Mini Tapered Blending Brush. It's described in the MAC website as a shadow-blending brush used for application and blending of powders. I've vacillated between getting this brush and a flat shader brush because I thought it might be redundant with my 224. It isn't. It applies shadows in a more precise and targeted manner than my 224. Simply, the track of color it leaves behind is thinner and smaller so if you want to do more detailed work, this is a must-have. This is also velvety soft. No scratchiness at all, unlike the 224. The way I use this brush, I apply my crease color, which is usually dark or medium brown, blend it out a little using a window wiping motion. After, I use my 224 to apply my transition color, usually a light brown or tan, at the top part of my crease and blend that out a little as well using the same side to side motion. I gotta say, this is one of my best brush purchases due to the uniqueness of its utility and how gosh-darn soft it is. Good news, this was a limited edition brush but is now permanent. Bad news, during my vacillating period, I've noticed that MAC stores only have 1 or 2 of this brush in stock so if this becomes more popular it might be difficult to find.

Unboxed: Nars Audacious Anna

Image
Nars Audacious lipsticks are described as a one-stroke, full-coverage lipstick with a luxurious creamy texture. It also supposedly is enriched with ingredients which smoothen and nourish lips. Finally, it is touted to have long-lasting wear. The shade Anna is a dusty mauve. This shade, in my experience is rarely in stock due to the popularity of mauve lipsticks. It's also a personal favorite of several well-known youtubers, such as Jaclyn Hill.
