Anastasia Duo Brush Large #12

-

Sep 11, 2014

Anastasia Beverly Hills sells, as you know, eyebrow products that are crazy good and popular all over the world, and now I have tested one of Anastasia's eyebrow brushes!

Anastasia Duo Brush Large #12 is an oblique, flat and compact brush on one side, and a spiral brush on the other side.

The slanted brush is super good, really wonderful to work with! It is small and light in the hand, makes it easy to paint straight and even lines and you can also paint as small straws because it has really precision. At the same time, it works well for more diffuse lines as well. The brush on the other end works great both for brushing the straws so that they lie nicely, but also for easily fading out any edges.

The slanted brush is also great for eyeliner :)

I give the product two big thumbs up, but at the same time there are a lot of cheaper eyebrow brushes that are good too, so if it's worth the money I do not really know. The cheapest I find is that it is available HERE which ships to Sweden, where the brush costs about SEK 138 but I do not know what the shipping ends up. But on HERE it costs a whole 245 kronor, which is incredibly juicy, there are cheap eyebrow brushes that also give a great result.

But in terms of quality and how long it lasts, I absolutely believe that you get what you pay for, so you want to treat yourself to a little luxury (or gift for someone) so absolutely :) I could actually put that money to the favorite eyeshadow brush should last for several years, but when it comes to eyebrow brushes, there are, as I said, a lot of cheap alternatives that are great as well.

In other words - thumbs up for the brush and thumbs down for the price!

I have used the eye shadows Snow White, Indian Summer and Coco.

1. White eye shadow innermost on the eyelid and in the corner of the eye, Snow White.
2. Brown eye shadow at the end of the eyelid and along the globe line, Indian Summer.
3. Matte brown eye shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line, Coco.
5. Brown eye shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line, Indian Summer.
6. Fade the edges.
7. Black eyeliner with wing, Makiash Perfection Liner.

(Yes I realize that I happened to write 8 numbers even though it is only 7 steps, saw it after I saved the picture and then it was too hard to change haha)

Hope you have a wonderful day !! :)

Most just wanted to announce it, now I will put on make-up a little quickly and slide into Uppsala where there are jobs that are on the schedule! I will work with face painting at Uppsala Concert & Congress three days in a row now :)

I have prepared some blog material so I will try to update as usual even though I will be away from morning to evening, but if I am late in answering emails and comments, you know why!

Hihi, PUSS on is!

Eco minerals foundation

This is one thing that I think I missed to tell in the blog actually, when I started with my webshop idea I had contact with a brand called Eco minerals which I was going to start selling. But then it dragged on to the time when a physical store wanted to start selling this and then got exclusive rights in Sweden for a certain amount of time to avoid competition, and during that time I came in contact with YAG mineral instead!

But that does not take away the fact that I still like Eco minerals, their products give a great result and in addition you can buy refills and refill your foundation jar instead of buying a brand new jar - which is also good environmental thinking and also cheaper.

However, I will stick to YAG mineral now even though I could include Eco minerals in the webshop, of course you can probably not have too many organic products but I am so happy with YAG so I prefer to focus on just that! :)

But I thought for fun I would still show you some Eco minerals make-up and reviews, I have already written about their mascara on Modernmom.se today and here are pictures of their basic make-up:

Unmade vs with foundation + lustrous pillows.

The foundation is available in two different varieties "Perfection" and "Flawless". Perfection is more adapted for normal / dry / mature skin, while Flawless suits normal / oily skin better. I have Flawless foundation in the shade Porcelain in the pictures.

The foundation covers very well, blends well into the skin and gives a natural and lasting result. The jar contains a strainer that can be closed. Nothing to complain about :) A can of 5 grams costs SEK 259 and is available for purchase here.

The lustrous powder, Mineral Illuminate White Light, is a white shimmery powder that gives the face a very nice glow! On me it will be super nice, but I probably do not recommend it to you with darker skin tone because then white products have a tendency to look greyish (have not tested this powder on a darker skin so I can not so for it to 100%).

Unvarnished

With foundation and lustrous powder.

+ sun pillows (Summer) and red (Amethyst).

So I say two thumbs up for Eco minerals! :)

Now you are probably wondering like this "Which is better, YAG mineral or Eco minerals?"

Response:
Had I thought that Eco minerals is better, I would not have hesitated to bring in that webshop, so in other words I do not think so. In terms of results, however, I think that both will be really, really good! I like that Eco minerals have refills (have to tip yag about it) and that it is a little cheaper per gram.

But YAG mineral contains fewer ingredients, which is always good for sensitive skin, in addition I like those jars more because it is easier to get the contents out of the strainer because there are not only holes on one side of the jar, that eco minerals can be closed does not benefit me as I do not like to dip my fingers in the jar to close the strainer - long nails and powder on the fingers, just messy haha.

In addition, if we talk about the environment and transport, YAG mineral feels better as it is a Swedish brand manufactured in Halmstad. Eco minerals come from Australia. It feels good that I as a dealer can go down to Halmstad at any time and see how everything works! :)

Hope you like that I review other brands than the ones I sell myself, and not just think I confuse you? :)

Hugs are!

Here comes a sweep that enlarges the eyes very much! Partly thanks to the white eye shadow, and that I have kept the waterline light, but also because I have toned out the black quite a lot which "pulls out" the eye a bit and makes the eyes look bigger :)

Hope you are inspired!

Bright lips, Paese Manifesto Liquid Lipstick (shade 912)
Nails, Nails Uppsala.

I forgot to take a close-up of the make-up (how I managed it now) so this is just a zoom in from one of the full pictures, that's why it's not super sharp.

White eye shadow innermost on the eyelid and in the corner of the eye, Eco minerals Eyeshadow (Snow White)
Black eye shadow at the end of the eyelid and along the lower lash line, Paese Kashmir Matte Black Eyeshadow.
Black eyeliner with wing, Makiash Perfection Liner.
Black mascara on all lashes, Eco minerals midnight black mascara.

Hug hug!
