Gotta B Urban Brushes pics

I'm sure this is old news to some of you, but I just ran across this brand while hauling at TJ Maxx and Marshall's. I found a bronzer that was the size of a small pancake for $6. I didn't buy it because it was too dark for me, but the ingredients listing was okay. As I was digging around for info on this brand, I kept finding blog posts about their brushes. Apparently, they are pretty good quality for the price ($4 - $9). They look in the range of Essence of Beauty to me, which are great little brushes. So, keep an eye open!

Ecotools Brush Set pics

Just got this in a MUA trade. I had purchased a set earlier in the year for a Christmas present. This one is mine, all mine! There was even a .50 off other Ecotools products inside. I hear rave reviews for these. They are synthetic and made with bamboo and recycled aluminium for the ferrels. Once I had them out of the package, I was surprised they were so lightweight. They are full size, but would work nicely as purse brushes.

I haven't washed these yet, but they feel wonderfully soft. I need more makeup brushes like a hole in the head, but I just had to try these out. I really like the cotton and hemp roll that comes with them. Can be washed and re-used with other brushes.

Glitz & Glamour Boutique

I've discovered a new online boutique that sells accessories galore! I found some items that I thought were interesting & cute. The following pictures are a sampling of what's available.

The leopard bag is on-trend right now, because it gives a nod to 2 trends, animal print & patent leather. I also love the cute plaid bag & the croc skin look of the black bag.


I'm seeing headscarves all over lately, very cute.


Metallics are on-trend, & I can't get enough of polka-dots!
