You should know that my Birthday is not even close yet, it's in January. But I already got my first birthday gift! Why? Because this year I'm not going to be home for that special day and as my sister came to visit me in Ireland, she brought the gift with herself. How thoughtful of her, isn't it? Well, I gotta say, she gave me the best gift ever, something I definitely haven't expected... well, at least one part of it.
We're both obsessed with make-up and other beauty stuff so I was expecting to get something beauty related. And as she recently got herself Inglot's Freedom System, I might have also expecting getting some new eyeshadows. What I didn't expect were the shades! I just love them! They look amazing together and on its own! I got them in shades: 419, which is a goldish dark green (my favourite), 148, which is gold and 118 which is a light and a little bit pink gold shade, perfect for the inner corner of the eye. All of them are shimmery which makes me love them even more. These three shades are a perfect match for me, so thank you, sister!
Now here comes the unexpected part: The real Techniques blush brush. I've been talking about this brush for ages and I think that's where my sister got the idea from. I've already tried this and it definitely is the best brush I have ever used. Not even the best blush brush, the best no-matter-the-purpose brush. I definitely need to try more real Techniques brushes. The next one I want is the Expert Face brush (take a hint, sister).
Thanks for being here! Follow me on bloglovin'!

Even just the packaging and design of that brush is making me crave it...I'm fantasizing about how amazing it would look swirling around my baby pink Smashbox blush. I guess this is like porn, but for beauty junkies, haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, you really do have a thoughtful sister :)
