10.24.10 Beauty

Check this out. My friend's who I blame into getting me into beauty and makeup told me about Alicia Silverstone for Ecotools! I love that collaboration. I have her Kind Diet book and have already made a really tasty vegan cheese cake from it. But that's a whole other story.

The fact that her Ecotools brushes contain a stippling brush to it is something I'm sold by. All of Ecotools brushes are so soft, it's unbelievably ridiculous. I think I might go out and buy it now... hmm. I honestly don't have a large collection of makeup brushes like most beauty people, but I'd like to have some. Especially necessary ones. Like, it's good to have at least 3 eyeshadow brushes: one for a highlighting underneath the browbone, one for an all over the lid, and one for darker shades to go on the crease (or your eye socket). So.. I guess they're for light, medium, dark colors. And you wouldn't want just one brush otherwise you would have to spot clean them each time you use different colors.

And it looks like hers also comes with a blush brush which is a good extra tool to have and for the same reasons. In case you want to switch up your blush colors. Maybe one day you're in the mood for pinks, and the next peaches. They're subtle differences but you wouldn't necessarily want to combine the two and you wouldn't want to be able to tell peeps who compliment your natural glow that it's a mix of such and such, wouldn't you? I am now officially really excited to go out and look for this.

Lastly, it contains an eyebrow brush with comb, and of course a makeup bag. All of which is just good to have on hand! My best friend actually thinks she could do without the eyebrow brush because all of her brush sets come with them and therefor she's collected a few, but I have a mom who goes through those things like reading a good book. I just got her an Ecotools individual one and already the bristles on there have broken. But don't get the brushes wrong, it's my mom who uses them incessantly and obsessively. I'm probably going to wind up giving it to her when I get my brush set.
