Make-up tools purchased for July..

Hi everyone, So I got some tools that I needed for my mobile makeup and lash extension business. A lot of people were surprised when I didn't buy cosmetics like I normally do. I just stuck to items that I needed after all I am a makeup artist and not a makeup junkie, lol.

 

First on my list is the real techniques core collection and starter set. I love how colourful the brushes are.... Also the bristles are soooo soft.

 

 

The starter set has the eyeshadow, crease, accent, liner and brow brushes.

 

 

 

The core collection has a buffing brush, concealer brush, foundation brush and a highlighting brush. I also love the cases they came inside.

 

 

Second on my list is a portable massage bed for my lash extension clients. To fix semi permanent lashes one needs to lie down flat and this bed is the perfect solution.

Massage bed

 

This is the bed in its case. Very portable.

 

 

 

The massage bed is open and the we are open for business. Who will be my first customer on the comfy bed?

 

 

 

The last but not the least is a portable rugged makeup artist director's chair. No more sore backs for me or tired necks for my clients.....

 

 

In its carry case

 

 

The chair opened up.

 

I got the brushes at Boots while the bed and chair were from eBay.

My beauty school drop in at Illamasqua ( my purchases)

So while I was at the Illamasqua store I decided to get some stuff. Luckily for me they were having sales of up to 60 percent discount which is more than what I get for my pro discount.

Powder foundation in 320

Their website *  , Illamasqua Powder Foundation glides over your skin, covering blemishes, correcting skin tone and leaving a shine-free look that lasts all night. Create a stunningly flawless base that begs to be touched. Comes in a mirror compact for touch-ups on the go*

Products in their packages

Blending brush 2

The website * The incredibly versatile Illamasqua Blending Brush 2 can be used to apply and blend any cream or powder product, to create stunning effects that are as individual as you.

All Illamasqua brushes are hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. Because we use advanced synthetic hairs instead of animal products, they're completely cruelty-free.*

Illamasqua skin base foundation

Their website states *Inspired by the cult Asian market Beauty Balm creams, Skin Base Foundation is a brand new, refined formula unlike anything on the UK market. Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothes, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage.*

I decided to get a shade for myself so I can test it back in the Nigerian weather and see how it holds. I loved it while i was in the UK.

Medium pencils 

Their website * Medium Pencil is one of our most versatile products. Their smooth cream texture smooths onto skin to create sensuous lips, or sultry eye designs. They glide over face and body for a lasting, colour-true finish. Write a different story with every look.*

I got the pencils in Interrogate(brown) and Sophie (The blackest pencil). 

I will be using this products to recreate the looks I was taught during the beauty drop in sessions see post HERE (fingers crossed).
