Tweezerman Brush iQ

A couple months back I was invited to a lunch by Tweezerman in NY and sadly was unable to attend.. which also meant I missed out on trying the new brush line 'brush iQ' 
I finally got my hands on some brushes and am head over heels in LOVE.


I have used Tweezerman for years and won't be stopping anytime soon.. 
brush iQ includes 12 brushes.. here are some of my absolute mush haves from the new line. 

Contour Concealer Brush
We all know everyones craze with the contour right about now.. This will make life easier for you.. Love the shape and curve of the brush. Great for highlighting the eye area.. Soft and the perfect brush for no dragging delicate areas.
$18.00 (USD) well worth it.


Pointed Concealer Brush
I can never have enough of this type of brush in my brush roll. I no doubt use this every time I apply makeup to a client! Multipurpose.. Great for point concealers, around nose, eyes. I also love to use for powder application for eyeliner under the eye.. or even a good smudge eyeliner brush.. 
$16.00 (USD)


Next up..
Pointed Foundation Brush
I go through stages of how I apply foundation.. fingers, sponge, brush.. 
If applying by brush its important to find the right tools. Not too long that it drags.. not to short that it takes forever, not to wide that you cant get in to little curves etc.. Needs to be just right.
Having the tapered tip means you can get in to nooks and cover a large area too.
Great brush!!
$28.00 (USD)

Product pick of the week!!


derma e is a 30 year old family run Californian brand that came about through word of mouth after there first product was introduced in a local food store many moons ago.
The brand now impressively has over 80 products for face, body and treatment to satisfy all our needs.

One of my favourites and also a best seller from the brand is:

Calming fragrance. Gentle. Great for problem skin. Helps relieve any skin irritations.
Simply gently massage in to a lather (face or body) and rinse with warm water as you normally would cleanse to relieve and reveal fresh skin.
Tea Tree Oil has natural antibacterial to help remove toxins and clear skin and to prevent flare ups in the future.
I personally love this after a good sweat out at the gym! Or if I have any breakouts on my face and body. Nice and refreshing.

Malibu C


Malibu C

I have been trialling some hair products that were specifically chosen for my hair, my lifestyle, even the pipes that are in my bathroom and the water that comes from them!... I am so thrilled to introduce to you all Malibu C. 100% Vegan! The brand includes effective ingredients removing damaging environmental impurities thats in the water we shower with. Treat yourself at home with some high grade hair products. I was so please with the results. My hair is smooth, soft and has life again. I have curls and it eliminated frizz in just one wash bringing my natural curls out wonderfully. So here are some of my favourites from Malibu C.

Malibu C Leave-In Mist Conditioner
$14.00 8oz
This works wonders for those who tangle easily. Replenishes hair and is best when spritzed in to towel dried hair. If you are a swimmer.. Spritz on dry hair before entering the water to protect against chlorine/ocean water etc.
I personally use this and love this most for cutting hair. It smells fantastic, fresh and sweet and is perfect for that spritz before a fine trim to collect all the hairs.
Great al day hair moisturiser.


Next up..

Hard Water Wellness Kit
$28.00
Includes.. 9oz Malibu C Hard Water Shampoo
9oz Malibu C Hard Water Conditioner
Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Treatments (5 grams each)
Great value!

Now I loved the 'Hard Water Kit'... but there are also systems for Blondes, Scalps, Swimmer, Color. You just choose which is best for your hair type.
Improved dullness! Improved dryness!
Instantly my hair was clean, smooth, shiny.
What I loved most is that my hair felt lighter (without a cut). Just an amazing wash and condition!!
