PLATINUM MAKEUP BRUSHES

INTRODUCING...

NEW!

- PLATINUM MAKEUP BRUSHES -

http://www.platinumbeauty.com.au

So you probably own at least one set of makeup brushes. You have your favourites, you know those
3 or 4 you reach for every single time you put on your makeup? How great are the quality of your
brushes though? Could be better? Softer? Less hairs falling out of them? I know personally for me
that stray hair which falls out of my blush brush every! single! day! I could definitely live without!

Using a fresh, clean, brand new makeup brush is always a nice feeling and if you're after that kind of
satisfaction in your daily makeup routine at the moment, then let me temp you with these modern,
gun metal grey, shiny new, sooooft good quality brushes, available ever so conveniently as you do
you grocery shop at where else but your local Woolies!

There are 5 of these beauties in the Platinum collection and each with it's own essential role to play.
Let me run you through each of the 4 which I have been using in my collection over the past few
months.

Contour Eye Brush
This tapered brush is perfect for creating definition and shadows to your eye's crease. Blend your
shadow into this area and blend with these super smooth, soft hairs. Within a few strokes I have
found my shadow to blend effortlessly, even when I use my cheaper branded makeup!
RRP $10.00

Eye Shadow Brush
Aside from the Blush Brush (which I will talk about soon!) this Eye Shadow Brush is my most used
brush! If your budget is tight, then you could probably get away with skipping on the Contour Eye
Brush and just using this one to complete your all over eye look. I still prefer to use both of these for
creating a more defined eye and precise definition, however this brush with a little practice can do it
all.

The hairs on this brush are slightly shorter and the shape is more rounded. This makes it easy to pack
on your desired shadow shade all over the base of your lid. Then using your Contour Eye Brush (or
this one if you brush off the excess shadow shade before changing colours for contouring) blending in
your usual slightly darker shade into the crease and then highlighting along the brow bone, inner
corner of the eye and where ever else you feel helps you eyes to really pop and look larger and more
awake. RRP $10.00

Base Blending Brush
We all have our own preference when it comes to how we choose to apply foundation. For years I
just found it so much quicker and easier to just use my (clean!) fingers. This method works amazingly
well because there is no chance of leaving behind brush strokes and everything is blended and spread
out well and evenly from the warmth in my fingers. I do still use this method on occasion, however
since discovering the magic of the trusty makeup sponge, I pretty much apply my liquid this way.

So how does this Base Blending Brush come into it? Well generally I will use this brush with my
loose powder to set my liquid foundation as it seems to blend the powder out all over my face instead
of it just sitting where it lands so to speak. However this brush is also designed to use with liquid
foundation to blend everything out nice and smoothly and gives quite a flawless finish in the few
times I have given this method a try. RRP $15.00

Blush Brush
This brush is super light and nicely fluffy and just perfect for applying blush! The hairs on this brush
seem to just pick up the right amount of product to apply to the apples of my cheeks which I then
sweet slightly upwards towards my cheekbones. Then naturally following up with a little bit of
highlight. Everyone loves highlight right now! Including me, obvs! RRP $19.00

The 5th brush in this collection which I haven't yet had the chance to try is the Platinum Power
Brush. As the name suggests, this is to use to apply your powder foundation, setting powder and
banana powder, etc! RRP $20.00

Platinum Makeup Brushes are available exclusively at selected Woolworths stores Australia wide.

How do you apply foundation? Brush, sponge, fingers or another method?

HOMEBODII

Vivian Long PJ Set

http://www.homebodii.com

I have been settling quite nicely into my new home over the past two months. The unpacking,
and sorting is done and navigating my way around a new town is finally beginning to become
familiar and really feel like home. Prior to moving however, was a whole lot more chaotic and
I had a LOT of de-cluttering to do! I moved around many times as a child and didn't really have a
lot of things back then. Fast forward to adulthood, a husband and two children later and living in a
place the longest I have ever settled down anywhere for a period of seven years and a lot of stuff
accumulates very sneakily and you don't realise just how much useless 'stuff' you have until you are
forced to go through every single things as you pack.

In saying all of that, I chucked, donated, gave away and sold what feels like close to about half of all
my possessions and that included half my wardrobe! Boy did that feel good! I'll admit it was daunting
at first and I didn't really know where to begin. I ended up going through my clothes about five or six
times over a period of a few weeks, getting rid of more and more each time, each time getting easier
to let go of things and seeing the brighter side!

Included in the de-clutter were a few of my old PJ's which I'd owned for far longer than I care to
admit! Now down to only a few comfy pairs for winter and summer. I now have come to own
my absolute favourite pair which are quite conveniently suitable for wear all year round!

Homebodii Vivian Long PJ Set - $89.00

Let's have a look at these super comfy and very pretty two piece set from Hombodii. Homebodii are
an Australian fashion label from the Gold Coast. You can also find this label in stores such
as Anthropology, The Iconic, White Runway and Revolve Clothing both in store and online.

My pick from this incredibly stunning range is called the Vivian Long from their latest 'Sleep Pretty'
collection. This floral set is made from a soft stretchy fabric which is breathable and keeps my body
cool throughout the night. It features a button up front on the long sleeve shirt with a handy pocket
on each side. The pants are a little long on my 168cm tall frame, however sits comfortably around my waist with a gentle draw string elastic.

If you are interested in purchasing these pretty PJ's from Homebodii, be sure to take note of their
size chart as this particular set is quite a generous XS. I am generally a size 8, being smaller at the
top and slightly larger on the bottom. This XS is still very roomy and a bit long on both the arms and
legs. Not a huge deal to me, but just an FYI.

Homebodii offer a wide range of not only sexy and beautiful sleepwear, they also have a stunning
range of feminine dresses, beach wear options and robes. There is even a 100% organic range!

What's your PJ style?
