ECO TOOLS Make Up Brushes

I have read and heard so much about these make up brushes that i wanted to put it on my blog,

I do not use their brushes, i use MAC, Smashbox, Shu Uemura, Clinique, Art Net, Lancome, Stila, and Chanel Brushes,

But i want to give it a try one day, i have seen that they have a 5 piece brush set for 10 usd

Actually it is good for Vegans, Vegetarians, it is cruelty free

Brushes are synthetic,

No animal hair or feathers are used,

Earth Friendly Beauty.

Bamboo 5 Piece Brush Set:

cruelty free bristles natural & recycled materials convenient travel size great for mineral makeup

This earth friendly set shows respect for the planet:

bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth's resources as it is a highly sustainable plant synthetic Taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminum cosmetic bag is made from natural cotton and hemp reusable storage pouch

Green Tip: Find ways to reduce yur impact. On average, a person uses 4.4 pounds of solid waste a day. this adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.

I personally do not like synthetic brushes cos all the products stays in the brush you use more products and you finish it that product earlier than it supposed to finish.

My answers to the Z Palette

I had tweet about their postal prices as the regular sending prize is about 12.95  and has no tracking and their tracked posts costs about 36.usd which is expensive and i wrote reviews about make up palettes, and i added theirs, as i do not have this palette i added what did other people say and i mentioned people says that i think they did not read it very carefully and they send me an email, there is the email and here is my reply

Hello MakeupTemple,</DIV>
</DIV> My name is Zena and I am the creator of the Z Palette. I received your twitter comment and I responded on twitter and wanted to take the time to reach out to you on email as well.</DIV>
</DIV> In regards to the international shipping rates, I chose the least expensive option that is available for international orders. You can compare the rates to Fedex and UPS and you will see for yourself. You can always choose the least expensive option for $12.95, which never has any problems but without tracking my company cannot be responsible for loss. It is not my choice to set the rates it is what it is. If I knew your location I could possibly offer a retailer that sells the Z Palettes that may be close to where you live. If you look on the zpalette.com website under "Shop International" I do have several retailers in countries outside the US where shipping could be less expensive. For instance, if you are in Europe the promakeupstore.com sells to many countries all over Europe.</DIV>
</DIV> Also, I noticed you reviewed the Z Palette on your blog as well. I want to thank you for taking the time to review it and give your honest feedback. However, I noticed that it wasn't really your review as it was someone else's. Out of curiousity do you have a Z Palette? Have you tried it for yourself?  </DIV>
</DIV> We have just launched the new Z Palettes, which include an even stronger magnet than before, it has a slightly wider open magnetic pan and is slightly deeper (which fits MAC pans perfectly) yet still compact, and it is easier to open as well. Not only did we improve it we also launched it in two brand new colors: Fabulous Pink and Zebra.</DIV>
</DIV> I hope one day you will take the opportunity to try it and see for yourself you may just like it and find the quality of a palette that wont break on you (like most plastic palettes do) and a clear window, which allows you to see everything and not waste time is worth $20. If you have a good quality palette that $20 is gonna last you a long time. Also, I don't know if you know but there is a holiday sale going on right now. I attached the flyer for you. Of course, it doesn't cover international shipping but you do get a discount.</DIV>
</DIV> I would love to hear your thoughts.</DIV>

Hi, 
I was looking for palettes as it really saves from space, I came up with several palettes, including yours, and I mentioned it on my blog and if you noticed I said people says that when I am writting it to my blog I did not have a chance to try a paletes but I own 5 mac and 4 from elf I want smth big enough to take any kinds of shadows powders blushes but it must be smth that it would be easy to carry in a makeup bag eventhough I put my mac palete in case my eye shadows are broken in a car trunk on 2 hrs journey.  I did not plagiriZe anybodys ideas I wrote that people say that rather than paying 20 dollars I said you can easily make yours there is a big economic crisis this year eventhough I spend so much money on makeup I started follow bargains or I wait some cosmetic sites sell some products without a case. I have seen that u have different designs but for me I do not give importance if there's hello kitty or smurfs on it. It must be smth that will make my make up life easier. And will make me save from space in my drawers. Eg. I use tea tins round ones to put my make up brushes. Organization is important.  I have seen a Dutch website selling your pallets. and i did not only write about z palettes there was one about coastal scents i have ordered one but never received it. I mentioned about elf stars make up haven. It is very annoying to shop from small companies bec mostly their parcels get lost. And paying 36 usd to a 20 usd product is a bit expensive and u can find my reviews aggressive i write honestly.Maybe i am a new blogger but i am into make up since i was a kid. Cherry culture had a strong shipping policy like you but aftr receiving many emails from customers they dropped down their prices. Now we can shop with reasonably good shipping prices , People under sponsored ofcourse are gonna write good reviews 2 be able to receive more. Pls have a look at my blog again and u wil see that i said people say that.yes plastic windows let me see inside. I did not say palettes get broke i said shadows are broken inside. </DIV> bec there is no lid to cover it i had removed it to save it from space, and without magneted eye shadows neither yours nor the other companies  palettes will hold it, we need to stick a magnet underneath the eye shadows</DIV>

Yes Z Palettes Looks cute, i intented to buy i had added one small and one large to my shopping bag but than when i saw the prices for shipment i have changed my mind...

* I have tell them my nationality but i like to keep it as a secret so i do not post it here…

MAC E/S Palette for 15
I know many of you suffering /complaining from not finding the right make up palette for your eye shadows, blushes, bronzers and powders, MAC has 3 palettes, 1- it fits 4 eye shadows and -2 it is for 15, and 3-  for 6  blushes they are for round ones, of course bec they produce round shadows, and blushes they have or consider that people buy those palettes for their eye shadows not only to fit MAC ones, i have 2 for 15 one for 4, and 1 for blushes. i had removed the slots it fits about 26 eye shadows but it fits with putting them so close to each other with out leaving an empty space to tell you the truth but it damages the shadows one of my eye shadows i think it was my lilac purple one satellite dreams, one of my favourites i can not fix it bec it is all over broken and the pieces are all over my clothes, so bad
The worst part of MAC palette is u can only fit rounded shadows which is as big as MAC ones, eg you can not fit Stila eye shadow pan’s to MAC eye shadow palettes

MAC E/S Quad
Depotting and managing the colours of products left to do the pre packed containers like created by companies who serves to the professionals like MAC,
And most of the pro’s have to use the  same black palette, and that allows them to fit the products at the same size The slots are circular in shape, and come in an eye shadow pan size or a cheek pan size. No odd shapes can fit these blank slate compacts.
Z Palette







People says
I HAD TO MAKE IT ITALIC COS I DO NOT HAVE THIS PALETTE AND AS I SAID PEOPLE SAYS THAT.. 
t fits Urban Decay e/s, 3 NYX trios, and 8 Lorac e/s totaling 26! $12. 


The large sized palette can take house a full face of makeup; from foundation to lipcolor. Or it can house 10 36mm pans and 7 26mm pans. Or 27 of the 26mm pans. But remember it is made for any shaped pan, so if you have that square pan that makes a nice combo with the rectangular pan and round pan; you can house them together.




This is my idea,


Rather than purchasing a cartoon palette, you can easily make your own custom cartoon palette buy buying  along magnette and having a chocolate cartoon empties.
Decorate the rug like magnette underneath your chocolate box, and stick it with strong sticker, Some kind of a Japanese glue, and than put your refills in it, there you go it will costs not more than 5 bucks…
Let’s return back to the topic
The cost of large pan is about 20 USD
regular shipment is 12 USD but no tracking 
Small pan costs about 14 USD
and here comes the shipping
International Flat Rate - No Tracking. No Insurance. Not responsible for lost packages with this option.
$12.95
International Orders - United States Postal Service (1 x 1.5lbs)
Express Mail International (EMS)   5 Days
$37.00
Priority Mail International   6 - 10 Days  $29.75
so
the accessories cost more than the thing itself
I know coastal scents and ELF has some pre depotted palettes, but i could not manage to get my coastal scents palette so i can not make any commands about it, but i have to say ELF ones are cheap but they are not magnetted it self, you can only put magnetted products like MAC pro pan’s, other than that you need to put magnets under it,
but it is cheap... 


some of mac eye shadows are small for this palette’s, i can take pictures and show you while some of MAC’s palettes can fit into this palette some of them doesn’t fit, i do not know why?
Also i have seen that SMH ( Stars Make Up Haven ) have also a pro pan, i am not sure check the website,
I also see  palettes at  yaby cosmetics

How to Cover up Dark Circles

Tweet

 

BB shares her secrets to cover up dark circles

Covering Up Dark Circles
What You'll Need:
To conceal dark circles, you'll need a yellow-based creamy concealer, in one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. This color masks the blue discoloration and brightens the skin. If you're extremely fair, a porcelain-toned concealer will work.
If you're lucky and you need very little coverage, a stick foundation one to two shades lighter than the rest of your face can double as your concealer.
If you have extreme darkness, use a corrector. Peach or pink in color, a corrector counteracts the purple or green tones underneath the eyes that a concealer can't cover on its own. If your skin is pale, choose the lightest colors, starting with bisque or light pink. For deeper skin tones, choose a medium or dark peach.
How To Do It:

• Apply a light eye cream underneath the eye area. It should absorb quickly and leave your skin feeling smooth. 
• If you're using a corrector, use a concealer brush or your fingertip to apply it at the inner corner of the eye. Continue placing the corrector underneath the eye, staying close to the lashes and patting the corrector wherever your see darkness. Gently blend the corrector by pressing it with your fingers. You're now ready to apply your concealer.
• Use a concealer brush or your index finger to apply the concealer in thin layers. Be sure to blend well.
• Apply the concealer all the way up to your lash line and - this part is critical - onto the dark areas by the inner corners of your eyes.
• Use more concealer than you think you need, and blend it into the skin, using your fingers in a soft, patting motion.
• If you still see dark circles, go ahead and apply a second layer of concealer.
• To the lock the concealer into place, apply pale yellow powder over the concealer and on the eyelids with a powder puff.

Concealing a Blemish
How to do it:

• Apply a lightweight moisturizer to smooth your skin and prime it for perfect makeup application.
• Using a concealer brush, apply a stick foundation or cover-up stick onto the blemish, making sure that the shade matches your skin exactly. Don't use your under eye concealer on a blemish. Because concealer is designed to be one shade lighter than the skin on the rest of your face, a bright, light spot of concealer on a blemish will look awkward and out of place against your complexion.
• Finish by using a powder puff to apply a small amount of face powder onto the blemish. This locks your cover-up in place.

Concealing a Scar
How to do it:
First, you have to understand that it may not be entirely possible to cover up the scar 100%.  But, you can make it less noticeable with makeup.  

• Apply a lightweight moisturizer to smooth your skin and prime it for perfect makeup application.
• Next, apply concealer or a creamy foundation directly onto the scar using a concealer brush or your fingers, and set with your skin-tone correct foundation.
• Finish by using a powder puff to apply powder, locking the foundation in place. 

Diffusing Wrinkles
How to do it:
Ultra-rich moisturizers and creamy makeup formulas are the key to getting smooth-looking skin.

• Be sure to exfoliate on a regular basis with a gentle scrub or an AHA cream. This helps stimulate cell turnover and sloughs off dead skin cells, which can make skin look dull and prevent your foundation from going on smoothly.
• Make sure your skin is well hydrated. A great moisturizer literally plumps up your skin. 
• Stick to creamy formulas of concealer, foundations and blush. Powder can settle into wrinkles, making them more visible.
• No one has wrinkles on their cheeks, so play them up with a little extra blush.
• If you have lines around your lips, keep the area moist.  Try using a lip balm on and around the lip area and don't try to conceal the wrinkles with foundation.  Instead, pick a creamy lipstick and matching lip pencil to prevent feathering.

TROUBLESHOOTING: Corrector or Concealer
Your concealer and corrector should be undetectable. If they aren't, you'll have to tweak your application method. Here are some common concealer and corrector problems and my time-tested solutions for solving them.
If it looks creepy
The thin skin underneath your eyes needs to be hydrated, since makeup settles into those tiny dryness lines. Remember to apply eye cream every night and every morning before your makeup application.
If it slips off
You've likely applied too much moisturizer beforehand. Keep your concealer and corrector on for longer by using less than a pea-sized amount of moisturizer, and then waiting until it fully absorbs before applying your makeup.
If it creases
It needed to be set with enough powder. After applying your concealer, sweep sheer loose powder over the under eye area to lock your makeup into place.
If it's cakey or streaky
Your ratio of eye cream to concealer is off. If your concealer looks thick and muddy, you'll need to apply more eye cream. If your concealer looks greasy and separated, you've applied too much eye cream. Add or remove product as necessary. (You may have to start from scratch.)
If it's too light
Very carefully, use the lightest dusting of light bronzing powder to warm up the area.
If it's not bright enough or if it's too dark
Add a tiny dab of fast-absorbing eye cream, and then re-apply your corrector and concealer.
If your eye makeup falls onto your concealer
You'll have to start over. Use eye makeup remover, a cotton swab, or a makeup sponge to carefully remove all under-eye product. Then pat on your eye cream, let it absorb, and re-apply your corrector and concealer.

How to choose the right mascara?

Tweet

BB gives us some tips for choosing and applying mascaras

To Curl or Not to Curl?
Done right, curling your lashes has the eye-opening effects of a double espresso. Make sure you’re using a lash curler that’s wide enough to cover the entire lash line and that the rubber pads are properly in place. Always curl bare lashes; if you do it after applying mascara, they’re more prone to breakage.
Applying Mascara
1. Blot the end of the brush on tissue to get rid of excess mascara.
2. Don’t pump the wand in the tube. This will push air into the mascara and cause it to dry out.
3. Holding the mascara wand parallel to the floor, work from the base to the tip of the lashes. Roll the wand as you go to separate lashes and avoid clumps.
4. Always apply mascara to upper lashes from underneath; brushing mascara over the top will weigh the lashes down. If you wear mascara on your lower lashes, use a lighter hand than you did on upper lashes.
5. To prevent clumping, allow mascara to dry in between coats. Apply one to two coats if you want a subtle look and two to three coats if you want a more dramatic effect.
6. Don’t tug or rub when removing mascara because this irritates the eye area and can make lashes fall out. Soak a cotton ball with remover, press down on lashes to dissolve mascara, then gently wipe it away

Tip No. 1
True black mascara looks great on everyone. To check if it’s a true black, swipe it on white tissue or paper. Pass on it if it has a grayish cast. Choose brown mascara if you’re a light blonde or redhead and want a more natural look. Leave trendy colors like blue, plum and hunter to the teenagers.

 

Tip No. 2
Don’t share your mascara! Mascara is a potential breeding ground for bacteria that can cause eye infections. Replace your mascara about every three months.
