Brush ON Block review

There are mainly two reasons why I rarely wear makeup during travels:
1) afraid my contact lens are gotta dry out
2) Reapplying sunblock

Why do I highlight the sunblock part? Well, because it's hard to reapply greasy and creamy sunblock on my face when I have makeup on! 

But then this product came out in the market! *drum rolls*
Brand: Kiss Mineral Makeup
Name: Brush ON Block
Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide- 15%, Zinc Oxide- 12%
SPF: 30 (80 minutes of protection)
Weight: 3.4g
Most special part of this sunblock is that it's in powder form! No more greasy and creamy feeling! *laughs* The mineral powder is suitable any skin type and it's at the bottom of the product. 

It also have a lock. Turn left then it's open, the powder could reach the brush; turn right to lock, the powder wouldn't be wasted when you are not using it. 
This is how it looks like after opening the refill. Yes, it's refillable. So there is no need to repurchase the entire thing. 
The powder is translucent, so it doesn't give a coverage or matte finish. Just natural, it feels like nothing and looks like nothing but it works like a charm!

Also, the powder does not sting my eyes at all!
Now on to the brush! 

There is a mini tube that connect the powder with the brush (I found it hiding inside the brush. Tehee). 
Besides, the bottle itself is durable. I dropped it twice and it still functioning! haha!
There is a plastic that keep the brush in place before closing the cap. 
The brush is synthetic fiber so it's very soft on the face! 
Oh! The best thing about this brush is that it can apply the powder on hard-to-reach places! (Eg: ears) 

I brought it at around RM160+ in selected clinics. Anyhow, they sell it at RM170+ via online, the refill cost about RM130+ in their website. 

It is expensive but definitely worth the prize! 

This is one of my favorite product! I love it so much!

I guess that's it for now! Hope it helps!

Elianto classic mini brush set review

Hey y'all! I know I reviewed their Kabuki brush recently but I can't help but to review their brush set too! 

Brand: Elianto
Quantity of brushes: 5
Manufacture country: Korea

#Pouch

Hmm... the outlook is plain. The appearance doesn't attract me at all... but the quality of this pouch is good.
This is how it looks like after being opened. If you are wondering, yes, that is not their original sponge. I brought this last year, the sponge is fragile (or maybe I am too strong) so I threw it long time ago. *laughs*
 There is the transparent place where you can place sponges, cotton square pads, cotton buds and etc.
Here is the plastic divider to make sure cosmetic remaining on the brush wouldn't dirty the entire pouch. 
Honestly speaking, this pouch was wonderfully design (not the boring appearance though), it is convenient and I bring it with me during travels or whenever I needed a touch up.

#Brushes

This brush is palm sized. Appearance wise, all brushes look as boring as the pouch. Function wise, it can be used as a blusher and a highlighting brush.
It's flat, so if you turn this way you can use it as a highlighter brush. 
 Turn this way, a blusher brush! Voila!
It feels like bristle rather than fibre... It's coarse... 
 Demonstration time! I dapped twice on the blush.
It pick up the minimum amount of powder... ~(=w=~) I have to reapply a few times before this brush can give me that flush look.
This is a lip brush, I never like using brushes to apply lip products so it's brand new *giggles*. 
Anyhow, I can still take a picture of it just to show y'all. (Sorry it's out of focus LOL)
 Eyeshadow sponge applicator! The tip is precise (cause it's pointy), so it can reach inner corner of my eyes. I have washed this for more than 3 times and it still works like a charm!
One dap on the eyeshadow and it can pick up appropriate amount of powder to apply on my eye lids.
Here is one of my favorite eyeshadow brush! It's small, precise and very very easy to use. I simply love it! Because it's flat, I sometimes use it to shade my nose too~ Work like a charm *throw flower petals* 
It doesn't stab my skin like how their blusher brush's bristle do. It's soft and pick up an appropriate amount of eyeshadow in just one dap! 
This is a mini angle brush. Mostly used for eyebrows (or sometimes eyeliner, eyeshadow. Depends on your likings). I have collected around 7-8 similar brushes (I have this habit... don't know why LOL) and this one have the thickest fibre. 
What do I mean? Well, let me do a demonstration then~ 
See that brown spot on my hand? Well, it's one dap of the brush on my skin. It creates this thick spot, making it hard to manipulate my brow shape. I like thinner sort of angle brush, for me this is too hard to control. I only use this to apply my under eyes (or most of the time I don't even use it). 

Well, those are just my preferences. Besides, their price is very reasonable (as usual for Elianto)! I brought it when they have half price sales and got it for around RM15+ (I have forgotten the price *laughs*). Nowadays, I can't find a brush set with this quality for this price. 

I guess that's it! 
My friends said my earrings looks like their keychain... (=_=")
Hope my review helps!

Elianto Kabuki brush review

Hi girls! I am going to review on *drums roll* My one and only kabuki brush! *throws confetti* 
This is how it looks like before I gave it a complete make over *laughs*
Brand: Elianto
"Ingredients": Synthetic fibre
Manufacture country: Korea
This is the older version, the latest one have brown colour fibre.
This is how it looks like after the make over! I can't stand plain packaging! I love cuter or royal (princess) sort of packaging. ~(=w=~)
Now, back to the topic. 
The brush itself is very very soft because it made out of synthetic fibre. Even so, it still can "scoop" up quite an amount of powder.
I did a demonstration sadly, I can't really see it in the picture... The product on the brush might fall out if you swing it, the brush doesn't have a good grip in terms of locking the product in it simply because it's not animal's fur.
Anyhow, after you apply it on your face it feels so... nice! I love that feeling when the brush touches my face! I don't really like animal fur brushes, it might give a good grip of the powder but it is not as soft as synthetic ones. 

Oh right, Elianto sell this at a very reasonable price (most of their products are at this price range). This brush's original price is around rm29 but then they had this crazy 50% off sales so I brought it with a even cheaper price! *giggles*

I brought this around a year ago, I think it's last year's year end sales and I washed this brush for more than 5 times but it still looks fine. Oh! If I am not mistaken they discontinued this and launched a new kabuki brush with brown fibre. 
If you girls are wondering how I helped my brush to do a "make over", it was by using pearl stickers haha! 

I guess that's it! 
I took this picture during Bon Odori festival. Also, I sent this picture to the publisher and I am in Mina's magazine (November issue) again. *shy*

p/s: I love kabuki brushes cause I think it gives me a perfect finish in my base make up routine. Sadly I have no budget to try more brushes and this one works like a charm! *blush* I love it!

Hope this review helps! Tata!
