Rose Gold Stole My Heart

From the moment I pressed the confirm purchase button I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the most beautiful makeup brushes in the world! Am I the only person who obsessively tracks packages? I think I checked the progress about three times a day... I was excited, don't judge! My obsessive browser refreshing was relieved earlier this week when these beauties arrived at my doorstep! The Zoeva Rose Gold Makeup brushes are finally mine!



I had been waffling for about 2 months (yes months), about wether or not I needed this set but really they are just too pretty not to own!


Opening this package, it just oozed luxury. The set came in a leather pouch with a rose gold zipper inside of a sleeper bag or dust bag as some call it.


All I want to do is run these over my face they are that soft! I'm loving the angled cheek brush and silk finish brush.




I really love the design of these brushes, the rose gold (obviously), the handles are thicker and feel very sturdy, they're shorter as well compared to my MAC and Sigma brushes, and I really love the Zoeva motto on the end of the handle as well! I think it's such a nice touch.

Online Deals

Every avid online shopper knows the best time to shop is when all the coupons start rolling in. That time is your birthday month! Since mine just passed and I had a bit of a coupon free for all, I decided to share!

First off Sigma gave me 15% off so I picked up 3 brushes I had been looking at. The E35 blending brush, F35 tapered highlighter, and the F88 flat angled kabuki. Theres always room for another blending brush right? I have 2 MAC 217s and a 222 and they always seem to be dirty! The F35 looks like it will be really great for contouring and so far I've really liked using it. Finally I just really liked the look of the F88. I have been experimenting with different ways to apply my foundation recently and which method works best with which product. I've been using the F88 with my Diorskin Nude BB Cream and so far i really like the finish it gives. I also love the shaped it gets into all the nooks and crannies of my face... nooks and crannies sounds like a strange way to describe a face but you get what I mean right?




Next purchase came from American Apparel who gave me 25% off my order. I was quite restrained with American Apparel, I only bought 2 hair bows. I love these bows, I have a black on I bought at the beginning of last summer and its the perfect accessory for ballerina buns, a look I rock embarrassingly often, I've been eyeing the navy one for some time and with 25% off why not get two? Maroon is my absolute favorite color right now and it's gorgeous in bow form.

This final deal wasn't a birthday code at all but I justified it that way! In Tayna Burr's recent Get Ready with Me video, she used the NuMe Titan curling wand and left a code in the description box. $150 off the Titan curling wand and only $12 shipping. Who can say no to that? I've already tried the medium size barrel and I am in total love! It heats up super fast and makes the prettiest curls! The code is TANYALOVE if you want to purchase one for yourself!

So not a massive haul, but that what I what I bought myself for my birthday. Sometimes you have to treat yourself right? :)
