Adding to my Brush Collection: Becca Cosmetics #58 Foundation Brush

It seems that my brush collection is gradually inching forward into something I can be proud of  . . actually I'm more proud that I own so many brushes and actually KNOW what they are meant to do on my face.

My newest addition is Becca Cosmetics #58 brush  (rrp. £33) which is a multi-functional tapered three-toned synthetic Taklon fibre brush that works well with liquid and cream products and also doubles up as a foundation and concealer brush. When I saw this at the Keziah Connects Event a few months ago I knew I had to have it in my collection because as I felt that it had a very unique twist to the standard makeup brushes that are floating about in the blogosphere at the moment.

Its bullet tip is soft yet sturdy and brilliant at working around those awkward corners around my nose, lips and brows without a big pile of products being dumped on.

Although this brush can be used with liquid foundations I wouldn't recommend it being used for this as it can it can give a very sheer finish so I suggest using this just with your cream (or creme *whatever*) foundations or products, and it will work like a beautiful dream.

Does anyone know of any unique shaped makeup brushes floating around?? I'm looking to expand my brush collection and want some oddities to be included.

Review:- Becca Stick Foundation in Almond

What I love most about being a beauty blogger is running across different brands and products that I would be never have heard or thought about, which are actually perfect for me and my skin. To be honest I didn't know anything about Becca Cosmetics until last yeast which is a real shame as they are an Australian Brand in the UK best known for having a shade match for virtually every skintone.

 They offer 30 shades in a variety of coverages and undertones, and stock foundations at least 4 shades darker than what I wear (FYI that is a very BIG DEAL)

I picked up Becca’s Stick Foundation in Almond and their Foundation/Concealer Brush in #58 (which works as a perfect tool for this foundation) at the Keziah Connections Event held at the Becca South Kensington Flagship Store and I’ve said this on twitter, instagram and to anyone who has asked about my makeup in the last few weeks, this foundation is literally my skin colour cloned and stuck into a foundation tube. It is just flipping spot on!!!!!

You might think that I’m hyping up yet another product and being a bit over the top but just look at the swatch I took it’s virtually undetectable!

So I decided to try and give you another view of how it looks like on my face

 The Becca Stick Foundation has a controllable sheer to medium coverage with a SPF 30 (it’s Australian Remember), has a non-powder based formulation and has the added bonus of containing anti-oxidant vitamins A,D & E.

On one hand I am surprised that there aren’t more reviews on this product online as I feel its flipping fantastic but on the other hand with a price tag of £35 it is very expensive. I got this foundation on a 20% offer on account of the event but regardless it is one of the most expensive stand alone products in my collection

But then again, is price really an issue? How much would you spend to get a foundation that was so on point with your skintone that you can’t even tell which areas of your face you’ve used it on?

POTW - Becca Cosmetics' Beach Tint

 

Hello lovelies,

I almost thought I wouldn't be able to do this video as the weather was so bad and I've been so ill lately but I didn't want to break my current streak.

Watching this video back, I can't believe how many times I said 'eerrrrrm', I really need to think up a new pause filler.

I choose Becca Cosmetics' Beach Tint  in Strawberry  (RRP. £20), this week as it is something I've been reaching for a lot more this week. I'm loving its compact form (and let's be honest 7ml is very, very compact) and it's warm orangish-red shade.

I don't know why I didn't love the colour back in February when I first received this but can you say 'Makeup bag Staple'
