Essie Gel Couture Find Me A Man-nequin Swatches & Review

Essie Gel Couture Find Me My Man-Nequin Swatches

I have a love hate relationship with Essie but I think their Gel Couture range may have changed that.  I have fairly big nails.  Not that they are extra long or anything, but they are not teeny tiny and that Essie brush drives me crazy.  Just requires too many brush strokes which can make some polishes look worse.  They have some great colours, good formulas but a brush makes all the difference.  Which is why I have not tried the[Read more]

Avon Makeup Brush Cleaning Mat and Brush Holder

I hate cleaning my makeup brushes.  It is always a toss up between using them all and cleaning every brush I own at once or doing them more often.  Drying and storing them is also an issue as Daisy is a bit of a klepto and makeup brushes are fairly high on her list of things to steal.  She has a little cat cove somewhere with piles of missing stuff, I just haven’t found it yet.  Avon recently sent me[Read more]
