Beauty Product Reviews

These are effective blotting papers. They are just paper. No coating of powder or anything like that. Very similar to the now discontinued Paula’s Choice blotting papers. If you loved those, these are identical just pink.

These are seriously spectacular

These three brushes in one word: superlative. I have never used eye brushes quite like these before. The design is incredible. The softness is amazing and most importantly they perform the job they are meant for perfectly. Now I understand why Canadian Squirrel is special and pricey. The stand out for me is S1 but honestly love them all. I admit was happy to hear that these weren’t sent to YouTubers for free and kept for purchase only as they are limited edition. Well done Sonia and thank you Beautylish for your outstanding customer service.

Nice

The best way to describe this lippie would be to say that this is the red you wear when you don’t want to commit to wearing a full-on red lip. It has a silicone slippery feel, is semi translucent and has a scent reminiscent to that of MAC lipsticks. The colour reminds me of a translucent version of Kevyn Aucoin’s original Bloodroses lipstick. Happy to have this in my stash as it’s very different to anything else I own.

Underrated hero

For me this brush is seriously one of Sonia’s best ever. I pretty much only use it for blush that’s low to moderately pigmented like The Balm’s Down Boy. It just places it perfectly on cheek every time. This purchase is a spare as I don’t want to be without this brush. Glad it’s back in stock!

Lightweight

Loving this lightweight, barely there powder. Not sure I love using it around the eyes to set concealer though as I'm very dry around the eyes.However I do enjoy the smooth finish on the skin.

Gorgeous set

Loving the big brush for bronzer. Not really sure what to do with the smaller brush yet as it doesn't work for highlighter for me. The design on the handle is beautiful. Happy I got these.

Gorgeous!

Beautiful smoky, cool tones in this adorable teeny palette. It's very pretty and flattering on the eye. I've bought a few of them for Christmas presents this year. The only thing I wish is that the very dark brown shade from the large palette was included, then it would be a stand alone one and done little palette.

Perfect nude lips

The very hyped about Pillowtalk shade didn’t work for me. For some reason it pulled orange on my lips. Awful. It now has a new owner who it suits nicely. As for me, Very Victoria is the perfect MLBB shade. Love it.

A Cheek Brush Hero

Wayne’s 14 is the perfect brush for my more pigmented blushers. It diffuses them into a light wash of colour beautifully on the skin. I haven’t had any issues with shedding apart from the odd hair now and then and I’ve had mine for a couple of months already. Very happy with this little gem.

My favourite eye brush

I've always loved angled eyeshadow brushes and honestly this little pine squirrel beauty blows many other eye brushes out of the water! Its very soft on the eyes yet quite firm. It's the quickest, easiest brush to use for contouring my aging eyelids. It also seems to apply and blend shadows simultaneously. Perfect for one and done as well as more elaborate looks. Glad I trusted my instincts on this one.
