Small haul from About Face/TheSheSpace.com

I put in just a small order a few weeks ago and got my package Saturday, so here is what I got!

I can't wait to try Pushing Daisies, it looks so pretty!

These are meant to be added to other pigments. At first I was a little confused when I saw these because they were just white sparkles, but when you put them against a dark background you can see the colors. I have no clue what to put these in.

This is not one of the regular colors, this was just a free pigment from Heather to make up for the long processing and shipping time.

Cashmere Stockings is a finishing powder meant to really give your skin a soft glow, I haven't used it yet because I'm waiting for my skin to heal. I used something that made me breakout pretty badly two weeks ago and I am still getting new (but thankfully smaller) breakouts right now. Will review once I give this a go.

Eyeliner Duo
Cost: $12
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Both of these brushes are soft, but the bristles are firm and are great for lining under the bottom lashes. Even the larger one is easy to use for lining. I get the color out of the brushes by washing them with hot water. My only complant is that it would have been better if one of the brushes were angled.



Crease Brush Duo
Cost: $12
Rating: 5 out of 5

I loooooooove these little brushes! The larger one is fantastic for the crease. Its very soft and densly packed. Its great at color placement control, and it doesn't leave a harse line that you have to blend out, the lines from this are pretty soft. You can also use this to blend eye shadow. There were only 2 bristles that shed after I washed this. The smaller of these brushes is similar to the MAC 219 pencil brush (which I haven't used, just going by what I've seen in other videos and photos). So far I've only used it to apply e/s under my bottom lashes and its really nice. I don't yet know how this works in the crease.



Concealer Duo
Cost: $12
Rating: 5 out of 5

These are typical concealer brushes. They are soft with firm bristles and don't shed. I don't even have concealer so I don't quite remember why I got these but they are nice. The larger can be used for foiling eye shadow.



Touch Up Brush
Cost: $7
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a very soft brush that can be used for applying powder around the nose or other small areas, touching up concealer, and can also be used to apply eye shadow. It does NOT do well applying wet eye shadow, but I love it for applying them dry! I've given it a few rough washings and it hasn't shed but a few of the hairs have kind of gone off in different directions. To clean this you need hot water to get the color out of the white hair. If/When I order from POSH again I would probably get another one of these brushes as long as the bristles don't start to go wonky.
