Review: Jessup Brushes

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Jessup Brush Sets! These are super cheap brushes that are sold on EBay, and they are absolutely perfect for any beginners in make up since you can test out different types of brushes at a cheap cost to see which ones you work best with! The majority of the pictures are a little blue toned, because since the brush tips are white and my photography box is also white you just couldn't see the brush details.

Review: NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be (finally) talking about NARS Sheer Glow in the shade Siberia! I've had this for quite some time, and it is one of the biggest first world struggles for me. It's the perfect colour, but the formula is A PAIN IN THE BEHIND. I'm halfway through the bottle and I STILL can't apply it correctly every time. How very frustrating.
