Jazzy France Cream Contour


I was looking for a cream contour and I cannot find one here in the Philippines. The other day I was in SM Dasma and I saw this cream contour. I have been looking for this thing to perfect my make up. Since there's no Anastasia Cream contour here I think this is my best shot to try out cream contouring. And I don't have a choice but to give in hahaha.

They give me a free sponge. I was so touched, freebies makes me feel loved lol and it makes me super duper happy, even if I am not gonna use that sponge ever hahaha. I kept it in my stuff so that on Christmas I can give it away lol.

I am using 3 kinds of brushes just for the contouring moments.

1, Real techniques Pointed foundation brush for the dark brown contour for the noseline, hollow of the cheeks, jaw, side of the face and forehead.

2. Sigma 3DHD Precision for the highlights between the nose, eyes and lower eye, cupids bow and chin

3. Sigma 3DHD Kabuki to blend everything

 

Jazzy France Photo Ready Foundation is a good drugstore cosmetic product. And I highly recommend it for everyday use. Good value for money only 550 pesos and it's a long lasting make up.

The cute purple brush set from Real Techniques

I have my core collection brushes, and now I need the one for the eyes too.

Like the first set that I ordered, the Real Techniques Starter Set also cost Php1050 from Kalm Cosmetics. Not bad for 5 eye brushes it's still very affordable and I would say in General Real techniques brushes have good value for money.

So I was impressed with the service of  Kalm cosmetics online store then, I watched all the blogs from those pretty pixiwoo sisters and then I realized and felt the need that I need to replace my old eye brushes too. I need a change and I must have these Real Techniques starter set.

And with a click of the button it happened again. I placed an order to Kalm cosmetics, to have these cute brushes that I will be needing for new make up style. Hahaha or maybe I just fell the need to own one too.

These brushes are very easy to use. Even if you are a beginner you can do a perfect smokey eye, wing eye and defining outer V eye make up. It works like miracle. When my daughter grows old enough to learn make up, I would definitely buy her own set. These eye brushes are good for beginners and for "on the go make up" coz you don't need to put so much effort to perfect it like a PRO.





Two lovely sets of Real Techniques brushes from KALM cosmetics




My first Real Techniques Brushes

So after 7 years my Elianto brushes are already shedding and I need a quality brushes to replace my old tools.

I love Elianto cosmetics coz they are very affordable and they matches my skintone. I really am not comfortable wearing too white shades of make up, most of it are from korean cosmetic brand. During those time, I find Elianto's brush softer than the face shop brushes I owned. So I replaced it and bought Elianto cosmetics and brushes. It really felt good because it's so affordable and I was able to maximize my budget. Like buying high end brands would cost me a lot of money. Though, I love Estee lauder and Mac cosmetics they work so fine.

Anyway, so I have to ask my friends about the latest trend on affordable make up brushes. I don't know where I have been since I got pregnant I dint get any update with make up and cosmetics. I was just being a mum at home busy focusing on my daughter.... Well I have a multi tasking role in life I am a super single mum.... Moving on lol........... 

2 of my favorite girlfriends told me how nice Real Techniques are. I trust those gals, but I still need to watch and read reviews online, so I did. Wow!!! The pixiwoo sisters are amazing. After a day of watching and reading reviews about this brushes, I decided to buy one. 

The core collection will best suit my needs coz, I need something for my face and I want something that I can bring with me all the time. Oh they look cute!!! 4 brushes with a case what more can I ask for lol.



Then I went to the official website of real techniques and checked who are the authorized retailer in the country. And I found Kalm cosmetics. They don't charge much the Real techniques core collection just cost Php 1050 and the transaction is also fast, I was quite impressed.


My first real techniques brush from KALM cosmetics.

I love these brushes and they really don't shed. I have washed them 3 times already and they still look new. I also use their case to dry the brushes. I noticed that these real techniques brushes dries quickly too. I love it and It works very well. If you want to learn more about it you can watch the pixiwoo sisters blog tutorials and you will learn a lot. And these tutorials also encouraged me to by the starter set hahaha.
