eBay Makeup Brushes And Mesh Covers







Hello everyone, I have missed writing up blog posts for you all as I am back in work after maternity leave. I am getting used to the routine now of going back to work and being Mammy to my little ones when I come home in the evening. So far so good, I am settled back into the new routine as is my Husband and our two girls.

For this post I wanted to share with you some brushes that I have recently purchased from eBay. I just purchased two of them to test the quality, before I went buying more. I also purchased some really handy mesh brush covers. All of my items arrived in under 3 weeks so that's  not bad at all.

I am no stranger to eBay I have been buying jewellery from there for years. I do see see the same statement jewelry being sold online here and in shops for triple the price I pay.
Yes you may need to wait for 4 weeks until it arrives but I do not mind that, unless I need something quickly I will pop into Penney's and see what they have in store.

So back to the brushes. I purchased the following
  • A large powder 
  • A large fan brush  
  • Brush mesh covers 
All links to my purchase are at the end of the post. You can also Follow my blog on  Facebook  |  Instagram  |Twitter | Snapchat | Pinterest

Happy Shopping. 
Love & Sparkle

My thoughts: 

I am really impressed with the quality of these brushes. After reading reviews from other bloggers on purchasing brushes from eBay. I get that  it can be hit and miss with it. Some brushes can fall apart and they can have a really strong smell to them (that's not good at all). These have neither issue, they hold product really well and so far no bristles have come out.

They look the same as a picture shown above that are from the seller. I use them everyday, the large powder brush is perfect for bronzing the face and body. It is also very similar looking to the Real Techniques brushes. The fan brush is really large too and again it holds the product and application is perfect. Due to the large size of the brush it is perfect for bigger areas like your decolletage and legs, if you want to add highlight down the centre of your leg.











Size difference to normal size fan brush


The mesh covers are really good too,they come as long strips and you just simply cut them down to size. They expand when they are put over the brush and hold their shape when removed /reapplied. They are perfect for larger brushes but not so good for the smaller ones like blending,eyeshadow brushes. But that's fine with me.

I am sold on these. My my next purchase is the Jessup  makeup brushes, after reading  good reviews on them from fellow bloggers. They are very affordable too.

Flormar Revolution Lipstick In Burgundy Mission

These are the three berry colours available    I was delighted to receive a sample of the Revolution lipstick in burgundy mission, along with the lip liner to match. These were Kindly sent from RDC Communications . Flormar  was launched this year in Ireland and it has proven to be a huge success and a popular choice for those who want affordability and quality.  I tested this lipstick out over Christmas, as I am trying to be more adventurous and try out stronger colours, as I normally tend to stick with nude tones. This lipstick is a rich berry colour with blue undertones, having these undertones makes your teeth appear whiter.   "Revolution is Flormar premium lipstick containing shea butter, cocoa, olives, a super pigment and easy 8 hr staying power" . Swatch of lipstick and liner  Application Tips: Before application ensure your lips are in good condition especially in this harsh weather. Exfoliate to remove any dry skin and apply vase

Finally Contouring is getting the push

Anyone else as happy as me to see that contouring is not as popular in the makeup world. I personally could never get used to it. I think it looks amazing in photographers or on a night out when done right. If you prefer a more heavy look. I believe strobing has been around before it was just called highlighting then. So do not be confused!!! For me I prefer a more natural look when it comes to makeup. The whole idea with strobing is that you can see the skin and it is not heavily covered up.  I have been using the Mac Strobe Cream for a few months now. You can also strobe with powder.  Mary-Loumanizer by the Balm Mac Soft and Gentle  What I like about Mac Strobe? It makes the skin look radiant,fresh and healthy (for tired Mammies like me it's a must) It's easily applied. It's a no fuss product, there is no messing with it. It can be worn alone or added after foundation is applied. With some blush you are good to go.  Lo
