elf and urban decay

Bought this two,one for a friend-the urban decay primer potion, and the elf stipling brush for me! i was surprised to see elf studio had this brush!!! i had always wanted to buy a stippling brush but the ones i know was expensive,and the stippling brush i was targeting in the etude house sale,was not in stock,so i was really glad to find this!! well its P220 much more cheaper the the etude P400+ i think.
I wanted one for so long because i heard its best for ever bilena blushes,yes! ever bilena! haha..the time that i cannot splurge on blushes or any makeup at all,just because i was guilty to spend on these things than buying my childrens essentials,poor me! haha i had to resort to cheap makeup...i know! we should'nt be scrimpy on makeup for the face,like foundations powders,and that includes blushes,we dont want to put cheap and bad ingredients on our face,but but butbut but :P ....but you know what? what i always say...cheap things does'nt mean its bad quality! i so love this blush! particularly the honest shade,its the best peach coral blush thats so pigmented!!! i heard so many raves about this blushes that i had to buy a stippling brush for it.
stipling brushes grabs the right amount for that unique flush! i'm so tired of pink blushes and this ever bilena is my fave! if you use your fingers or the brush included in the ever bilena blush compact,you'l end up with very unnatural clownish cheeks!
this elf one does the job! my only complain was,the hairs are few,if they would have placed a little more brush hairs,it will be a lil denser and fuller,but i recommend this to anyone whos starting out in makeup and wanted an inexpensive brush for having that blended natural blush.

elf studio contour brush

Bought this brush in my sm north edsa mini haul,was looking for my backup elf blending brush,the classic one, its so good! i had to get another one because i often use my old one in applying contour eyeshadows or eyeshadows for my crease and left without a clean brush to blend harsh lines,its that useful to me,and you cant beat the price! P129.75,the brush can pick up a good amount of eyeshadows,its rounded fluffy tip is good for blending,its soft and doesnt scratch my gentle lids,i use it more than my mac219 contour brush and cant find it in any mall i frequent to,its always out of stock lately,but then i went to sm north edsa and saw the studio line brushes was almost all completely in stock,from the blush brush,angled brush,powder brush,concealer brush,angled eyeliner brush,eyeshadow c brush and they even have the small smudge brush! elf studio line brushe are P249.75@,a lil bit higher priced than the classic line of brushes,but that did'nt stop me from getting the contour brush instead of the classic blending brush! it preformed well,its soft like the blending brush but denser,its also not scratchy,but it outshined by the blending brush!coz'it erases eyeshadows if used for blending. which one's better? for me,you should get both! LOL! well,out of versatility the classic blending brush is still the best!
And oh! another thing,i didnt realized they put a wrong price tag/sticker tag on the product,my receipt listed P224.75,oh well good for me!

Quick dash to Sm North Edsa

Hav'nt been to SM north Edsa in ages!,its the first mall Sm shoemart built since their first Department store in Carriedo manila. its been overhauled,remodeled,metamorphozised! into a much more bigger and better mall for mall rats like me,So I was looking forward to go there,but not because of these reasons,but because lots of new and upcoming cosmetics brand are in there! and whenever i visit other Sm branches and some items i want to purchase like clothes,and stuff for my children are all out of stock,i'm always told by there SA's that they have more in Sm north.
After dinner we raced there,but got stuck in traffic along edsa (no hope!), when i did get there,i only had a couple of hours to shop,so i had to be a quick mall rat LOL! unlike Mall of Asia that closes by 10 pm,Sm north closes by 9.
Quickly! I rushed in their makeup counters! behold! tonymoly,etude house,majorlica majorca,and elf surprisingly had lots of stocks!cant find contour brush anywhere! but they have it! and also the studio line contour brush! i had to get the latter, =) sadly they dont have the highlighter and blush compact that i wanted.
So here's what i bought just in the nick of time! paid just before closing time,whew!but my hubby bought a lot of clothes! well,i also dropped by my fave clothing brand inside the dept store which is studio S to find this jumpsuit,oos! boohoo!
