    Marrionaud Brushes

    I have these brushes for more or less than two years so you can see scratches on the ferrule of the brush. I love that it comes in an individual package that you get to choose the brush you prefer and in my case since i have been bringing some of the brushes at work, one of them got lost and i was able to replace it without purchasing a set.





    Marrionaud
    *made of synthetic bristles
    *available at Watsons and Sm department stores
    *these brushes on the picture ranges from Php 50- Php 200 per piece
    (they also have other brushes like kabuki, powder brush and the price does not exceed to Php 500)
    I did not purchase the powder brush because i already found a powder brush which works fine , soft ,sturdy and inexpensive  @ 99 pesos which i purchased at a local store.


     N32-Angled Blush


     N33-Foundation Brush , i used this for like three, four times only, i'm still not used to wearing foundations

     N36 double ended angled brush and spoolie
    I use the angled brush for shaping my eye brows. The spoolie is used for removing clumps after mascara application and it's for distributing pigment for bold brows or just grooming  errant hair



     N39 another tool for removing clumps and distribute colors of your brows although i prefer the spoolie to do the trick but this is great for grooming stray hairs.
     N34 concealer brush, i haven't really used this for concealer, i use it for my cream eye shadow

    N37  Pencil brush for precise application and definition of the bottom eyelid with shadow, or doing detail work in the crease.  


    *great quality, the hair did not shed after a few times of washing them

    *they get the job done
    *affordable
    *easy to wash except the foundation brush
    *sleek and looks high end  design

    For quality and functionality i would rate these brushes as 8.5/10 .

    FS (Fanny Serrano) Moisturific Lipstick

    I have been hearing so many good reviews about FS cosmetics. So i decided to try it myself, this is the first product that i got from this brand.
    There were two package designs , this and the black color. (same price Php 299) I got this because I have the impression of water/moist from the color which i have been looking for in a lipstick and most of my lipsticks package comes in black.
    Since I’m purchasing an expensive lipstick (at least to me it is expensive ) I would like to get my money’s worth. I would like to get a lipstick that I could wear everyday, something I could wear in the office, if I just want to hang out with my friends and something I could wear comfortably in any situation and occasion.
    The sales representative recommended the shade: Poppy Pepper. It’s a peachy brown, nude color with a hint of pink. It glides smoothly ,matte and it does not have a pungent smell.
