kimoko February 5 2011, 03:09:32 UTC

it is good yes? i totally love it! this is my 3rd piece and i have 2 backups! =D

which mac highlighters are you refering to?

spletniza February 5 2011, 08:08:48 UTC

those two you have on the pic above :)

kimoko February 5 2011, 13:59:36 UTC

oh, those are not highlighters. those are MSFs. Mineralize Skin Finish.

You can google for them. the swatches are everywhere! =D MAC has launched quite a couple of MSFs to date.

Do you like your Ecotool brushes?

kimoko February 5 2011, 03:10:33 UTC

oh yes! i love the ecotools bronzer and blush brush. i totally regretted not bringing the ecotools blush brush over.

the brushes are really soft and dense! love love love it! =D

This one small part of yours is like my entire collection of makeup but minus the mascara as I have the habit of tossing mascara after 3 months thus I only stick to one.....

kimoko February 5 2011, 13:58:22 UTC

are you serious? HAHAHAH *blush*

i don't have that habit as I have so many and i often rotate. =D

Hi Kimoko! If I am looking to buy blush which gives me only a tinge of pink on my cheeks(I don't like to pile on blush and still prefer my cheeks to stay at its natural colour), what affordable brands would you recommend me? I have trouble looking for blush that are cheap but good.

kimoko February 5 2011, 13:57:25 UTC

i'll recommend the NYC Color Wheel Mosaic in Pink Cheek Glow (http://www.newyorkcolor.com/products/index.cfm?item=504). It is what I brought to HCMC, 2nd last picture, first on the left, above the eyelash curler. It is very very lovely!

unfortunately, it is not available in Singapore, nor is it available on Drugstore.com

you have to get a CP from USA. It is less than US5! very very afforable!

i love that kate spade bag.. where did you get it from?

for me, i just bring my coastal scents 88 warm wherever i go for biz trips, coz most of the eyeshadow shades are nudes/neutral tones, with a few bronzes and silvers for night use. :) it sounds crazy to bring 88 colours, but in this case it's just one palette.

where did you get the flat-top kabuki brush from? i've been looking for one. pray tell...

I think the Flat Top in the pic is from Everyday Minerals. I have one too and it's very very soft and doesn't shed at all, but I find it can be a little floppy if you need to buff foundation in heavily. I prefer using it for buffing finishing powders.

tumbletot February 6 2011, 04:06:05 UTC

thanks for the info... using it to buff in finishing powders is my intention too.

i bought it from katespade.com during their 25% sale, that was before they stopped accepting international cc. here's the post with more pics: http://kimoko.livejournal.com/421153.html

It was really cheap! =D

And yes, the flat top kabuki is from EDM. next to it is a flat top buffer brush from coastal scents.

For a decent flat top, I recommend the ELF Studios Powder Brush! It is soooooo affordable, dense and soft! works amazingly!
