Powder Brushes - Bobbi Brown, Sigma, Real Techniques, bareMinerals, Everyday Minerals

I went down to Tang Orchard one day with an objective in mind, that was to get a setting powder. In the end, Bobbi Brown loose powder was the choice and the BA talked me into getting a powder brush. And soooo I caved in and got myself this powder brush at S$100.

This is one of the more expensive powder brush I purchased thus far and it is a HUGE disappointment!

 I have been using Real Techniques, Sigma and Everyday Mineral brushes for powdering and I use bareMinerals retractable angle brush for on the go touch up. All of these brushes definitely cost less than this Bobbi Brown and are way way much better!
The Bobbi Brown brush is very very pricky when I used it on my sensitive skin face, it was fine when I tried it on my hand (or did I tried it the wrong way????) and it shed when I used it lightly on my face which is super super annoying! It can't even be compared to the Real Technique brush shown here. Although the RT brush isn't the softest powder brush but with that kind of price tag, I can't complain much. At least it is not as pricky as BB! The softest brush among here is the Sigma Flat Kabuki brush F80, I will not say this is the best brush for powdering but at least it is so soft and it can be used for blending foundation and powder. 2 in 1 function for the price of S$29.50 ( I got mine from Luxola) - No complain!

BB brush sucks big time!!!!!

This travelling angle powder brush is very soft and I like it very much as it is retractable so I know it is clean when I put it in my cosmestic bag and the size is cute! If I remember correctly, I got it at below S$30( from Sephora-Ion) which is not that expensive for such quality!

Happy Weekend!

Alpha-H Liquid Gold

A good product to recommend to all! Learnt about this liquid gold stuff last year and has no courage to try it since my skin is ultra sensitive and "thin". The word ACID sound scary too! Watching FleurDeforce videos in Youtube and alhtough her skin is quite dry, she is also using this product ...lure me into it. And Luxola start to carry this few months back and was offering a introduction discount of 20% (If I remembered correctly)...so I added it to my cart! After trying for about 1 month plus, I really like this product. It make my skin look fairer and those stubborn blackhead (especially those bigger one!) seem more easier to be squeezed out! And my makeup set better if I use this the night before! I used this every other night and always go for the intensive treatment. Whereby I will only apply this with cotton pad and sleep with it.Alternatively, if you are not as hardcore as I am, you may apply with moisturizer or serum as mentioned at the back of the bottle. As I feel that this make my skin more vulnerable, so I will definitely apply with the Philosophy Take Shelter sun screen as it is SPF50 Pa+++ and work fine under my makeup without making my face look greasy! But if you are using the Hourglass makeup primer, you have to let the sunscreen set for awhile before applying the primer otherwise there will be some "white particles" appearing when you are applying that primer.
The stuff is selling at S$52 at Luxola...so do check it out!
