Nail of the Day : Tropical Temptation


I like pink peachy color this month.. This kind of color is so fresh and bright.. Loooove it.. ^^
I love Revlon Nail Polishes.. Revlon makes good quality nail polishes and very affordable for only Rp 33.000,- (around $ 3.30).. The consistency is pretty opaque too..  
The one that I'm wearing is no 914 Tropical Temptation..

Essence of Beauty Deluxe Duo Set Face Brushes (My go to travel face brushes)

Finally I have some spare time to write a post again ^^..  This month has been a super duper hectic month so I am truly apologize for my absence.. Okay on to the topic guys..

Since I'll be going on a vacation next week, I'll be reviewing one of my favorite travel make up brushes that I like to bring with..
It's the Essence of Beauty Deluxe Duo Set Face Brushes..

I bought this set online probably a year ago for about Rp 210.000,- (around $21).. You also can find this brushes on CVS for around $14.99 but we don't have CVS here in Indonesia (aaarghh... >.<)..
When I first got it, the brushes smelled weird.. They smelled like a goat especially the white angle blush brush side.. I had to washed it 3 times until I able to used it on my face.. I wonder does this thing ever happen to you guys?? or did I have the failure one..

But in terms of the quality this brushes are made of high quality hairs, it's even comparable with high end brushes.. I have this brushes for a year and it still like brand new one..
With this set you will get 3 duo sided brushes and 6 uses of them.. (it will safe space in your make up bag)

Here they are..
  • Foundation & Concealer duo sided brush (Flat foundation type of brush like MAC 109.. I like the concealer brush because it has pointed tip really great for those hard-to-reach corners)

  • Blush & Powder duo sided brush (The angle blush brush is doing a good job for applying blush.. On the other hand the powder brush is to small for setting my powder so what I like to do is using it as a highlighting brush.. Works pretty well since it has a tapered shape)

  • Blending & Eye Shadow duo sided brush (The blending brush I like to use it to set my under eye concealer with a powder.. While the eye shadow brush well I don't use it for that purpose.. I use it for contour my nose since it has angle shape and fit my nose perfectly)

I like those brushes, but the down side is I still have to bring my other face brushes like a powder brush (since I don't like the powder brush from the set) and a brush for my bronzer.. But still it does safe some spaces in your make up bag since it has two sided.. and I love the quality of them..

Here's my review  :
PRO  :
  • You get 6 uses of brushes with affordable price..
  • The brushes is soft and made of high quality hairs and materials.. I use it almost a year and it still like brand new one
  • It comes with a zip lock plastic case which I like to use since I cannot put my duo sided brushes in a regular brush case..
CON  :
  • The brushes smell weird *_* (at least the one that I bought)
Overall I will recommend this brush set.. Nice and affordable.. ^^
Do you have one guys ?? Let me know what you think about them..
