Ok so recently while revamping my vanity I realized that I have a lot of Brushes and noticed that over time they were starting to lose there shape. After watching a gazillion of You Tube Vids and doin my own research I decided to get the Brush Guards.
I ordered a Foundation Pack- 5 guards
Shadow/Liner pack 10 guards
Powder Kabuki Pack 4 Large Guards

** There is also a Variety Pack comes with:
1 Shadow/Liner (ex. small)
2 Blush (small)
2 Foundation (medium)
1 Powder/Kabuki (large
After I was them I put them on so they dry to Shape. I usually put them upside down in a cup so that the water doesn't run into the Ferrel of the Brush loosening the glue that holds the brushes together. But since I had so many just laid them all on a towel in direct sunlight to dry faster.
Here is the Kabuki Before the Brush Guard:
In the Brush Guard:
They are very easy to use and I sometimes put them on all my Brushes in the Brush Holders to prevent Dust getting on them when not using them . I don't do it all the time because it is hard for me to see the brush I am looking for when the guard is on it.
Now for the Good Stuff:
I absolutely love this palette. I like the Diversity in Colors and that I can also have a Blush Selection all in one Palette.
A few Swatches:
Not the Clearest Shot but the top ones I uses NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk for a Primer. The bottom ones no Primer.
Now for the Lipglosses :
Sheer Crimson
&
Oasis
No Flash
Flash Left Sheer Crimson- Right Oasis
I like these they aren't super Sticky and gooey and they are very Opaque and have great color payoff !
OMG that palette is a must have! I want! And I really like the Oasis lip gloss. Pretty!
Nice review on brush guards! thanks :D
