My Favorite Morphe Eye Brushes

These are my top eye brushes from Morphe that I literally use every single day! I'll start from Top to Bottom, M504: to me this is a better version of the Sigma e40 before they went and changed it. I love it! Now, what I will say is that I have a lot of crease space so if you have a smaller lid space I'd say get the E27, it's great just a little smaller! E30: This to be is like the mama version of a sigma e35 or mac217, again I love this one because of my large amounts of lid space lol if you have a smaller space you might would just want to stick with the M433. E27: refer to M504. E22: Think of this as a pencil brush on crack, love it for crease and outer corner work! E14: When I say this is the best shader brush I have ever used I mean it! It's the perfect amount of denseness and softness! E18: Perfect for inner corner highlighting and blending out the lower lash line! Could not do my makeup without this little guy.

My Favorite Morphe Face Brushes

These are my top favorite Morphe Face brushes that I truly feel like I use everyday. I'll give you the number and what I use each for, but remember these are just what I feel like works best for me. Some are newer and I chose to still add them and still mentions one I loved before I purchased the newer ones! OK, let's get started! I'll go from Left to Right. M501: I use from highlighting everyday, tahnks to Jaclyn Hill. Theres not to much to say about it besides it really gives the best and most control for highlighting the cheekbones. E4: The best blush brush i've ever used. Now, I actually own 2 additional ones (I'm a brush hoarder, I know) and maybe it's just mine but my other two just aren't as good as the original one, it to me is the fluffiest! E3: This brush to me has to be the most multip purpose brush I have and I almost started not to include it because I didn't have a specific purpose for it but I use it for everything. It's great for blush, bronzer, and powder! E44: THIS IS THE BEST FOUNDATION BRUSH EVER. I never use a brush to apply foundation, I am a strict beauty blender type of girl to apply foundation but this brush has changed my life. E52: This is another new one that I've been using for bronzer and I just love the precision it gives. M527: Another bronzer blush lol, this one gives more of an natural bronzed look! E2: Another multipurpose brush, I used this a lot for powder at the beginning and I've also loved it for bronzer. Just a good brush to have! Lastly, E41: This is a huge, fat, and fluffy powder brush that I am sooo glad I own. If you love powder foundation this would be amazing, I like it for allover powder and going back over my face one it's all done to blend everything together. I truly don't think I could do my face without every single one of these brushes!

First Impressions of the New Covergirl Goldens 2016 Spring Palette and Swatches on Deep Skin

New Covergirl Goldens Palette

Swatches

As of now I've only swatched this palette. The first two shades aren't the greatest and kind of lack when it comes to pigmentation. The rest of the shades swatch superrrrr nice, but are powdery. Meaning the whenever I was swatching  powder formed on my fingers. I'll be sure to wear the shades tomorrow to see how they are on the eyes! Fingers crossed this is really nice and can make a nice cheaper alternative to the Urban Decay Naked Palette, which Covergirl compares this too!

I've added more Morphe Brushes to my collection!

Full Collection of New Elite brushes

Morphe e51&e52

I now own 5 of the newest released elite brushes from Morphe and I am LOVING each and every one. Some stands though are the E44, E41, and E52. I think those three are MUST HAVES!

New Spring 2016 Items I Purchased!

Covergirl Face Primer for Oily Skin & Maybelline Brow Pomade

Maybelline Dream Matte Velvet (92) & Setting Spray

Upon first impressions: I am LIVING for the foundation. It's right next to my Loreal Infallible. The setting spray to me is the exact same as the Loreal one, just cheaper. Not to much to say about the primer, still forming an opinion. And I'm so-so about the brow pomade. Will be picking up more new items! Will keep you all updated!

New Morphe Elite Brushes Review

So as many of you know, I've in recent months have come a HUGE Morphe Brushes fan. Especially their Elite collection. As you know Morphe is known for their super affordable brush line, and even though the elite collection is pricier then the non-elite brushes, they still rank much cheaper in comparison so other brush companies like Sigma and MAC.

Is it worth the HYPE?

This was my biggest concern! I felt like everyone was talking about these brushes and that it was being overly hyped. Well what everyone is saying is quite true. I purchase all Morphe Brushes with my OWN money, and though some are better then others, none of them disappoint. Especially the Elite Collection. Literally the most luxurious brushes I own.

Comparisons?

These are the newest ones I picked up. I additionally own many of the ones from the original release (I'll show lots when I do my favorite Morphe brushes post).

WHat I wanted to do was show you guys some comparisons to some of the brushes I already owned from Morphe versus the new released one! As you can see the e41 v. e1 very similar but the e41 comes to a taper. The e42 v. M402 literally the same brush except the bristle quality is much better from the elite collection. Lastly the e44 and the M439, very similar brush head. Both are labeled as "buffer" brushes, but the e44 has a little more give to it whereas the M439 is a smidge more dense.

These are pictures of my original elite brushes.

Eyeshadow Junkie Tag

This is a tag done in collaboration with my sweet friend Margaret(@maggsbeauty on instagram) Please go to her page HERE and check out her amazing answers to this awesome tag! I tag you all to do it, and please share your answers here!

Favorite Drugstore Line?
- If we're talking specifically eyeshadows I think I'd have to go with NYX. Their prismatic shadows are the bomb, and their matte shadows are super good too. Now my cheating answer would be Colourpop (they're drugstore prices) but you have to order them online.

Favorite Primer?
- I'm not super picky when it comes to primer. Right now I'm using the smashbox 24hr primer and I love it. But i've also used Urban Decay, Too Faced, Lorac, WetNWild, and Maybeliine Color Tattoos and equally loved all of them. But do give this smashobox one a go, I definitely think if you have oily lids that it is a must.

First Eyeshadow Purchase?
- Honestly, I believe my first purchase wasn't even made by me. My ex-boyfriend bought me the Urban Decay Naked Palette for Christmas back in 2013.

Drugstore Dupe?
- I can't think of any that's not already been done. WetNWild comfort zone has a good dupe for MAC's blue brown pigment, and the Loreal Infallible shadows in Amber Rush is a good dupe for MAC Tan pigment.

Favorite Single Eyeshadow?
- TOUGH one. I have to say 5, I can not decide between Makeup Geek's Grandstand, Colourpop's Nillionaire and Summer Lovin' (le), Anastasia Beverly Hills Morracco and Fudge (In the Shadow Couture, but can be purchased as singles.

Favorite Cream Eyeshadow?
- Maybelline Color Tattoos are amazing! Also, does Colourpop count as cream, lol?

Favorite Neutral Eyeshadow?
- LOL, if you really expect me to be able to answer this with one choice. Colourpop has amazing singles, Makeup Geek has amazing singles (specifically their foiled shadows),can you ever go wrong with MAC either? OR you could go for a palette: theres Urban Decay Nakeds, Too Faced Chocolate Bar's, LORAC Pro's, theres so many options out there that are amazing and range from highend to low.

Favorite Colored Eyeshadow?
- How many times is it acceptable to answer with Colourpop?

Favorite Underrated Eyeshadow?
- I think this could be answering the cream shadow question as well but I really love the Milani Shadow Eyes, and I feel like not enough people talk about them.

Favorite Eyeshadow Palette?
- Here's another LOL if you really think I can do this with one answer. I LOVE the Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadow Couture, also love the Too Faced Chocolate Bar, and the Lorac Mega Pro2, Morphe 35O, if it's neutral I more then likely love it. But if I had to go with one forever I'd probs say ABH Shadow Couture.
