Update on LC Brushes

So, remember how excited I was to find Lowe Cornell brushes at teh Wal-Marts? Well, I'm just glad they were only 5$! 

They are complete crap! The bristles weren't soft and didn't bend well. Also, they shed bristles really, really bad. I'm glad I only tested them on my nails and not on my face! 

My nails turned out decently thanks to a nice tutorial by Kawaii Nails. I will edit this post with pictures and a link to her blog tomorrow morning after I go to check in on my thesis at the library. 

EDIT: Kawaii Nails

check her site for her really good tutorial on nail gradation.

Here's my lame attempt. I don't have steady hands at all!

sleep tight!

A beauty related post! Finally!

I know, I've been AWOL again. Been trying to find a job...It's hard though. The economy is such trash that my degree is useless. But that's where I've been. Interviewing and filling out applications and what not.

Now, here's a sleek little find (imo). Many girls out there who like to use brushes will find this useful.  Xteeener mentioned these brushes before in one of her many tutorials, as I'm sure other gurus on youtube have.

But, you can now find Lowe Cornell brushes at Wal-Mart! (Previously you could only find them Hobby Lobby or craft stores).  They are a mere 5$ for a pack that comes with many sizes. (At craft stores, they'll run you double the price!) If your Wal-Mart recently re-modeled to the fancy-smancy Wal-Mart, they should be in the craft section with the paints. 

These brushes are really soft and good for eyes, lips, nails, and other details that regular make-up brushes just don't quite get. I personally haven't tried them yet, but I do plan to soon, and I'll let you know how that goes. Enjoy and happy bargain!
