Must Have: Beauty Junkees' Affordable, & Still Amazing Angled Kabuki Brush



I first learned about Beauty Junkees from one of my fave VLoggers, Saaammage. Sam is my go-to girl when I am trying to look for a new foundation because she does amazing foundation reviews, both drugstore and high-end! When reviewing foundations, she applies one side of her face with a brush and the other with a Beauty Blender. In Sam's recent videos, she uses a Beauty Junkees brush.


Once I saw how well the Beauty Junkees brush applied foundation, I knew I had to have it. So I ordered the Angled Kabuki brush from Amazon.com and received my brush within a two days via Amazon Prime (best thing since sliced bread).

After hearing how much I liked it, my mom asked me to order one for her. Then, my mom asked me to order one for my aunt. Then, my aunt asked me to order one for my cousin. Then, my mom asked me to order one for other aunt. In the mean time, my BMFF/cousin/enabler, ordered the Angled Kabuki and loved it so much she ordered more brushes. Needless to say, there is suddenly a whole mess of Vietnamese women currently obsessed with Beauty Junkees.

What I(We) Love.
The matte black handle feels stable and has some weight while not being too heavy. It is a kabuki brush, but the handle isn't really too short at all. For me, it is the perfect everyday size, and I enjoy how it fits perfectly in my brush roll for travel. Also, the handle has the brush type imprinted on it, which I find helpful.
The end of the bristles are usually white. Here, my are a little tinted from using it with my Bobbi Brown foundation.

I love how the bristles are sooooo soft and dense. The pricepoint is so good for this quality!!   The brush I ordered is the rounded kabuki, but they also have a flat one, too, that's more comparable to the Sigma F80. Although this is meant to be a blush brush, the dense soft bristles make it versatile for foundation and contour application as well.

I prefer to use this brush to apply my foundation because the rounded edges make it easy to blend around my nose and around my jawline. I love how this brush makes achieving that flawless, airbrushed look so easy. Even my mom's has told me her application looks better blended. I definitely want to try the rest that Beauty Junkees has to offer.

Beauty Junkees also believes in the importance of customer service and offers a 100% money back guarantee on all of their products, no questions asked. So, if you do not like the brush(es), you can return it! I love that. I return beauty products all the time at Target and CVS, and it is great than an online retailer can offer the same.

Manomai: Skin Care Based on Your Blood Type

Image
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?  That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.  I came across Manomai  when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.  Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines:  pareben-free,   mineral oil-free,  fragrance free,  cruelty-free, and  artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the  blood types  -- the Around-the-Clock

Differin Gel: What I Wish My Dermatologist Would Have Told Me...

Image
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’  -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive,  burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work? Differin gel/adapalene is a type of synthetic retinoid. It is one of the mildest forms available. Retinoids help your skin slough off (or  desquamate ) dead skin cells at a more normal rate. Sloughing aka exfoliating your dead skin cells is beneficial in that the dead skin cells don't bind together and clog your pores. When your pores aka oil ducts are clogged, you get acne!

My Current Skincare Routine

Image
My skin has been terrible, and when I get breakouts, they are scarring, painful cystic acne blowouts that I would get on my chin and on the sides of my nose. They generally occur with my monthly period, or just after. I am not one to pick them because when I did the scarring would be even worse. I was courageous enough to let my cystic acne take its course, but it made me never want to leave the house. If you have read my Adapalene post from a year ago, you will know that my first dermatologist prescribed me that one cream, gave me zero directions, and sent me on my way. Not surprising my face never cleared up. Instead, I still had acne, my skin got flaky, peely, dry, irritated, and just plain terrible. I really resent my first dermatologist for doing that to me. So, I stopped using Adapalene, and began trying a bunch of over-the-counter acne treatments, from Paula's Choice to natural, organic brands with salicylic acid and tea tree oils, and the whole gamb
