I've been meaning to buy some more brushes, and basic makeup staples as I really don't have a lot. So off I went to walk the hallowed halls of Priceline! Like the overly organised person I am, I even wrote a list of everything I wanted to get (name of product, price, brand even). I bought some stuff (obviously) and I thought I'd share what I got with you all.
I admit that the revlon blush brush was an impulse buy, and that I'm basically a brush whore. I've actually never used bronzer before, having no use for it, but I've gotten very pale lately. Now I just know I'm going to end up with a few hundred more bronzers (uh oh).

| Revlon Blush brush & Kabuki brush |
Upon close inspection, these brushes look awesome. However, the blush brush doesn't feel as nice as I'd hoped, especially coming from such a big brand as Revlon. The widdle Kabuki brush feels really soft & lovely, and I know I'll get a lot of use out of it.

| essence powder brush |
Just a basic power brush from 'essence'. I got this one because it's small, great for travelling and doesn't take up a lot of space in my brush pot. Plus, it's purple and I heard great things about it online. But it's so not velvety soft, like it's online description claims.

| Models Prefer Double Ended Colour Dipped powder & eye shadow brush Models Prefer Double eye shadow brush |
These were the brushes I was most excited to get, because of the convenient dual-end system (dirty?). Excited! I know I'll use these a lot just because they look so awesome, and I love that they've given really good shape to the range of brushes.

| Maybelline Expert Eyewear Shadow Quad in Natural Smokes |
I owned absolutely no neutral eye shadows until I bought this quad. I'm not even kidding. I've never really bothered with eye shadow, and if I did I would use colours that didn't just blend in; brown hair, brown eyes, brown eye shadow. Ya know? But I do realise that I really needed just a basic neutral pallet, and I can use the darkest colour for my brows.

| Prestige Ultimate Brow Definer Pencil in Black Brown |
I can't wait to use this eyebrow pencil, as I've not used one in a loooong time. I felt it was time to repurchase one because my brows are looking a bit sparse due to a horrible incident with tweezers a few days ago. I might tell you guys about it if I get over the embarrassment. Let's just say I got a bit tweezer happy, to put it lightly.

| Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder in Darkest Brown |
You can never have too many powders. I don't use liquid foundation because it's too heavy for my skin and I break out pretty badly, but powder seems to do a good job. I just needed another one, as I ran out a long time ago and wanted to give my skin a break. Plus I just couldn't be bother getting another. Lazy.

| Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze |
After looking on the Priceline website at all the gorgeous bronzers they had in store, I am just obsessed with bronzers. I know what I want for my birthday, that's for sure. Anyway, I did a swatch of this (and all the other products) but because they don't show up very well on my iPod, I'll describe to you how pretty this bronzer is! It's just beautiful, with a widdle bit of shimmer and lovely pigmentation. It's not heavily pigmented at all, which I like, meaning you can slowly built it up on your face to achieve the look you want.
I'll definitely be reviewing a lot of these products, although I'm not saying when because I'm shitty at posting when I say I will. I'd love to hear any recommendations or reviews of products in the comments! I know I don't do many beauty related posts on GypsiesandPixies, so please let me know if you'd like to see more. I love you!
~Au Revoir!~
