Sonia Kashuk Limited Edition Anniversary Brush Set Review

This is probably the longest amount of days I've gone without posting something. I have many reasons why I haven't been posting lately. The first reason is that school started, but thats not a good reason since I only have to be in school once a week haha. The second reason is that I've been helping my mom a bit with her business. And the last reason, which is also the main reason why I haven't been posting, is because I got addicted to Sims 3. What a time to be addicted to computer games huh?

I started blogging because I felt this was a great way to express my love of beauty and crafts to people who would want to listen and see those kinds of things. I know for a fact my boyfriend was tired of hearing me talk about stuff he didn't care about. So why not talk to a bunch of strangers right?! Anyways, I didn't want to slack off as soon as school started again, and life really started. I want this to be something I refuse to give up on. It makes me happy that I have my own blog, and that I have readers who come back to read my posts. Blogging is one of the main highlights of my life. Enough of being sappy, lets get on to this post.

I went to Target this weekend because I basically live there every weekend now, and everytime I'm there, I ALWAYS check the Sonia Kashuk section to see if they had this brush set in stock. THEY FINALLY DID!! I know I'm crazy late to this party but I finally got my hands on the Sonia Kashuk 15th Anniversary Limited Edition Brush Set. By golly thats a mouthful. Its purple, its beautiful and its all mine.

You can pick up this bundle of joy at any Target Canada (presuming they still have them in stock)

This awesome set comes with 15 full sized brushes. I purchased one Sonia Kashuk brush previously for almost 20 dollars. This WHOLE set was only $39.99! 

I love the purple bristles. They are to die for. 

 Here are the face brushes. You get 7 of them.

 The 8 eye brushes. The handles of the brushes are a very deep plum purple colour. 

I labled the brushes so you can see for yourself what you get when you purchase this awesome set! Its perfect for beginners or people who just want amazing quality brushes.

Look at how vibrant that purple is. The brush itself is super soft. I absolutely love them. The handles feel luxurious and are nicely weighted. Their is little to no shedding and they definitely do not look like cheap brushes.

Overall, I would recommend these brushes to anyone looking for a great beginner brush set. This set has actually all the tools you need to start doing make-up! Of course these aren't the best brushes on the market, but for the price your paying this is practically a steal. I enjoy using Sonia Kashuk brushes and I'm very pleased they came out this such an amazing brush set. Most of the time whenever you buy brush sets, theres always a few brushes that suck and you know you will never use. All the brushes in this set have a purpose and will be put to good use. They are all great quality brushes. I've purchased many brush sets before in the past, and this has got to be one of my all time favourites.

My Favourite Face Brushes

What do you do when its 3am? Write a blog post of course. Today I will finally be talking about my favourite make-up brushes (pertaining to face only though). I feel that the quality of brush you use is important for the application of make-up, since it either applies the product flawlessly, or just moves it back and forth on your face. These are brushes that I use every single day for my make-up routine and I wouldn't have it any other way. Surely there are more expensive, better brushes out there, but there are easily a bunch of cheaper, drugstore brand brushes that work just as well.

I also use another product for my daily make-up that I did not include in this post, mainly because it is a sponge. I use a Beauty Blender for my foundation and concealer, and I must say, its worth the money. I'll get into an extensive review in a different post though.

Powder Brushes

 Since I started make-up, I've always been on the hunt for an amazing powder brush. Why? As an oily skin person, powders are my bestfriend. I need amazing brushes to apply these products well, that blend them in nicely to my skin. 

One: Real Techniques Powder Brush - Oh man, this brush is my holy grail of brushes. No matter where I go, I am always carrying this brush with me. If only they had a more travel sized version, or if I had a brush holder I could carry around 24/7. Real Technique brushes live up to the hype. They are high quality brushes at a very reasonable price. I found this brush randomly at a store in Pacific Mall and I am so happy that I own it. Its a perfectly domed shaped brush with very soft bristles that work amazing with my pressed powders. It picks up the product and disperses it nicely onto my skin. 

Two: Sonia Kashuk Powder Brush - I mainly fell in love with this powder brush because of how soft it was. Its literally like touching a very soft puppy. Does it work well? Yes and no. Its a lot fluffier and lighter than the Real Techniques one, but it does not blend as well. This brush is better for lightly dusting powder on your face, mainly touching up your face. 

Contour Brushes

I am a bronzer fanatic and it takes the right kind of brush to contour my super round face. 

Three: Real Techniques Contour Brush - I've tried many contour brushes in the past and this one is by far my all time favourite. This contour brush is sold in the Real Techinques Core Collection Set so I don't think you can purchase this by itself. This brush effortlessly applies the bronzer on my cheeks, and works wonders for blending it out. 

Four: ELF Studio Small Tapered Brush - One of the first brushes I've owned. Its been with me for a long time now. This small tapered brush from Elf does wonders with contouring, especially for your nose. The bristles are extremely soft and fluffy which makes it easy to use. Not only is it great for nose contouring, but the small size makes it a wonderful highlighting brush! Guess what the price is.. THREE FREAKING DOLLARS. For a brush that has more than one use, that is an amazing price!

I love my face brushes and I'm always down to try new ones, high end or drug store.
