Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Smashbox Cosmetic’s Precision Concealer Brush.
Here is some information from the website. This flat, thin precision-tip brush enables flawless application of cream and liquid concealers, even in hard-to-reach areas like the inner corner of the eye and along the lower lash line. The rounded edges and wide base allow for effortless blending, while the pointed tip ensures accurate application and seamless results.
I love this brush! It feels feather light and super soft while still maintaining stiff bristles, without any apparent shedding. Besides being a really good concealer brush; it works great with eye shadows, gel eye liners, and lipsticks.
The brush itself is extremely sturdy with a classic and sophisticated appearance that all Smashbox brushes have.
This brush retails for $20.00.
Pros:
~Soft yet firm bristles
~Multi-purpose
~Classy and sophisticated appearance
~Sturdy, high quality brush
Cons:
~None at all
Overall, I rate this brush at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! This is a great multi-purpose brush that any girl should have in her makeup bag for those quick touchups.
XoXo,
Whitney

~Smashbox Cosmetics Concealer Brush - Review!~
~Smashbox Cosmetics Face & Cheek Brush - Review!~
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Smashbox Cosmetics’ Face and Cheek Brush.
Here is some information from the website. This domed brush contours to the apples of the cheeks to softly apply blush and face powder. The full goat hair brush allows for seamless blending and diffusing, while the tip can be used for contouring.
This makeup brush is absolutely amazing! It is super soft and smooth, and feels as if I’m moving a feather along my skin.
I use it to apply my mineral foundation, bronzer, and blush. It works fantastic; because the brush gathers just the right amount of product to use on my face, without leaving a heavy cakey appearance.
The Face and Cheek Brush is sturdy with a wooden handle. There also appears to be no bristle fallout.
I also love the classy and sophisticated appearance of this brush. It makes me feel as if I am pampering myself, whenever I use it.
This brush retails for $48.00.
Pros:
~Extremely soft bristles
~Sturdy handle
~No bristle fallout
~Classy and sophisticated appearance
Cons:
~Absolutely none!
Overall, I rate the Face and Cheek brush at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is truly a makeup brush that will pamper and please everyone!

~Smashbox Cosmetics Lip Tech - Review!~
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Smashbox Cosmetics’ Lip Tech Lip Color in the shades Nude, Peony, Maple, and Sangria.
Here is a bit of information from the website. A innovation in lip color. This weightless, satin-matte formula has Vitamin E and emollients to protect and provide a soft, cushiony feel. Packaged in a sleek on-the-go mirrored compact with a unique silicone applicator that contours lips and flawlessly applies the perfect amount of color every time.
These Lip Tech Lip Colors are absolutely amazing!
The silicone spatula applicator makes applying these lip colors easy and fun!
The product themselves are creamy and rich in texture, and make my lips nourished with moisture, while feeling lightweight. The lip colors have a matte, satin finish that looks gorgeous on its own or with a complimentary color lip gloss over them. The lip colors do not settle into the lines of your lips, which mean your lips look youthful and full, the whole time you’re wearing them!
If you do not eat or drink, then these lip colors will last 4 to 5 hours, without needing touchups!
I adore the packaging of these products! They’re classy and trendy all in one. They come with a mirror and underneath the lip tray; is a compartment for the silicone spatula. It’s everything you need wrapped up into one tiny package!

Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush with Teddy Bear Hair - Review!
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush with Teddy Bear Hair!
This brush is extremely soft and dense. The teddy bear hairs easily pick up powder, and apply it evenly across your skin. You’re never left looking cakey!
The bristles are made from synthetic hairs (teddy bear), which means that if you’re sensitive to animal hair brushes, you will not have a problem using this one! The fact that these teddy bear hairs do not shed, makes it even better!
I always keep my brush in its box because the shiny pink case can be very susceptible to scratches.
This brush retails for $30.00
Pros:
~Extremely soft
~No bristle fallout
~Dense bristles
~Applies powder evenly
Cons:
~Pink case scratches easily
~A bit pricey
Overall, I rate this kabuki brush at 4 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is a great brush to have if you are one to make a fashion statement when you apply your makeup!
XoXo,
Whitney
Note: I purchased this kabuki brush with my own money. I am not associated with the company, nor are they paying me to review their products. As always, my reviews and opinions are 100% my own!
