Jessup Flat Kabuki Brushes ♡

Im not sure how long these brushes have been around but I recently noticed them in a Youtube makeup tutorial, I loved the way they were applying makeup so I did some further research and read loads of reviews on the brushes. I heard really good things about these Ebay brushes and ordered them. I personally would never get cosmetic brushes on Ebay just because chances are they would probably shed hair and not very good quality etc.


I got the white flat top kabuki brushes here on their online sale for $15 which is about £10, insanely cheap for 10 good quality brushes. I got the white and silver colour which i'm regretting now because they're getting so dirty, but they have a wide range of colours for you to select from. The brushes came from China (I think) and took about two weeks to come which was sooner than the estimated delivery time they gave me, I was supposed to be waiting till the middle of August! 
I tried them out as soon as I got them and it didn't take more than one use for me to love them. My favourite brush is the slanted Kabuki brush which I have been using to apply my foundation, which it does flawlessly! I love the finish on my foundation with this brush over my beauty blender and thats saying something! I haven't used the eyeshadow brushes yet just because I don't wear eye shadow on a day to day basis but I have very high hopes for them. 
I will definitely be purchasing more Jessup brushes in the future when i'm in need of some but right now I have so many I don't know where to keep them! These brushes are so cheap and worth the buy!
If any of you have tried any Jessup brushes please let me know which ones you like so I can get them in my next order!

MAC Velvet Teddy ♡

I wanted to wait till I had bought a few more MAC products as I don't really like to do reviews on one lipstick, but I had to for this one! If you have been reading my blog for a while or follow me on Twitter you would know I have been looking for this lipstick since December and have had no luck at all. I was on the verge of giving up the hunt until 3 days ago the best day of my beauty blogger life came, I found the famous Velvet Teddy.


This is the lipstick that Kylie Jenner is rumoured to wear, and it looks great on her! Sadly though, my lips look nothing like hers with this on but they still look good. I think this is a perfect nude colour for any skin colour. I have still not found a MAC lipliner to go under it so if you have a recommendation let me know! MAC lipsticks are great in general but I think they are so good with matte colours, I don't find them drying at all and they last all day without needing to touch up. I have always said they should call their matte lipsticks a lip stain because they do not budge all day!
As you can all see I am very happy about this purchase, and if you are lucky enough to have this in stock at your nearest MAC counter then you need to go and try it, I guarantee you will love it.

Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures ♡

So the other day whilst I was doing the weekly shop at Tesco with my mum, I went to go and pick up some new shampoo. The Garnier Ultimate Blends range is the one I always reach to in stores as they work so great for me and my hair type. I noticed they had bought out a new honey range, and I had to try it! I picked up the shampoo, conditioner, treatment and hair serum. 


Let me start off with the shampoo and conditioner, they both smell so gorgeous and it actually looks like honey too! You can instantly feel how soft your hair is when you first apply it, you see instant results in the shower! I have now used this about 3 times and my hair does shine a lot more, Im not too sure yet about if strength has been restored but my hair does look a lot healthier than it did 3 showers ago. 
The treatment is a lot thicker than the conditioner but I would say that they both are really the same thing, apart from the fact that the treatment works as a hair mask. I felt they both do the same thing, making the hair softer and shiner. I think I could have done without this product and probably wont repurchase it, I could just keep my conditioner in my hair longer for the same effect.
The serum is divine! I also use another serum mixed in with it which I have a review on, also from the ultimate blends collection. I mix two pumps of the coconut serum and one pump of this honey one. I know that seems like a lot of product but I have crazy thick hair so I need that much product. I have noticed that some of my split ends are no longer split! My hair is full of split ends and i've been trying to schedule a trim this week but I don't think I will need to if I keep using this product religiously. It smells great and leaves my hair feeling amazing and glowy afterwards. 
All in all I think this is a great addition to the line and one I will definitely be repurchasing.
