Kit Stars Makeup Brush Bag PLUS Gift With Purchase Offer!

I have quite a collection of makeup brushes, but the one thing I didn't have until now was an actual makeup brush bag to keep them in. My brushes are either stored in my brush holder or hidden away inside various makeup bags.

Until recently, I had never come across Kit Stars as a brand, but they have quite the collection of makeup brushes and they are priced between £6 and £15 for individual brushes and between £19 and £60 for a collection of brushes in a set. If you are looking for some new brushes, Kit Stars have just launched a Makeup Brush Bag which is priced at just £14, but it isn't just any makeup brush bag. Made of soft faux leatherine, the Kit Stars brush bag peels down to become a stand-up brush holder cup and it is just so handy to have. Inside the bag, there is a removable divider and it has a small external front pocket to keep your brushes organised. 

The bag will fit any makeup brushes, not just Kit Stars and it will easily carry around 35 brushes without being overfull and within mine, I have placed a mixture of face and eye brushes plus some extra spoolies that I have laying around too. 

The Kit Stars Makeup Brush Bag is currently on offer as a GWP (Gift With Purchase) at the time of writing this post and whilst stocks last. All you have to do to qualify to get your free bag is to spend £30 or more on products from their Makeup Brush category HERE and you can get the Kit Stars Makeup Brush Bag for FREE.  It is perfect if you’ve been on the hunt for something or somewhere you can keep your brushes together, in one place so when you need to use one, you will know exactly where it is.  I have bought one for my goddaughter who is training to become a Makeup Artists for Christmas as it is just so useful. 

Have you ever tried any of the Kit Stars Makeup Brushes before?

Evolve Organic Beauty Christmas Gift Guide

Evolve Organic Beauty is a brand I was so excited to get to know and one I have loved every minute of doing so. Having seen it explode across my social media, Evolve Organic Beauty products are lovingly handmade in small batches at their studio in Hertfordshire, England to ensure the freshness of the precious antioxidants in the natural oils, butter and extracts. The products are vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly.

This Christmas, Evolve Beauty have a whole host of incredible Christmas Gifts on offer for gifts suitable for each skin type and every budget. I was kindly given some of them by way of an introduction and they are just wonderful.  These are just a few of them!

Imagine these three stars hanging from your Christmas Tree with their wonderfully decorated packaging which features the Christmassy scenes of either Gingerbread men, Snowflakes or Reindeers. Inside the star, you will find a tin of Lip Shine (£14 each).   

This, of course, isn't just any lip shine, it is one that is rich in Cacao butter, rose flower oil, vanilla and gold sparkles. As soon as the lid is removed, there is a wonderful scent that draws you in coming from organic Blood Orange essential oil you and the Lip Shines are all completely vegan and they use a 100% natural alternative to petroleum jelly and is blended with Amazonian Cupuacu Butter and organic Cacao Butter which together work to nourish and replenish dry lips.  

What I really love about these lip shines, is not that they feel amazing on the lips, which of course they do either on their own or over your favourite lipstick, but you can also use them as a shimmery highlighter on your cheeks and collarbones too!

Next, from Evolve Beauty I have two crackers and again, they are both such a wonderful way to be introduced to the brand and what products there is on offer, not to mention how wonderful the packaging is too.

The first cracker is called 'Let it Glow' and it is a Limited Edition cracker (£20) which is described as being the perfect stocking filler. Inside this cracker are two amazing products that you just cannot help but love. The first is a Lip shine which I have featured above and it is the perfect accompaniment to the second product within this cracker which is the Radiant Glow Mask. This rich face mask is just incredible, I absolutely love it. Blended with raw cacao, clay and coconut granules these ingredients come together to cleanse, purify and buff the skin.  It is also enriched with antioxidants, magnesium, Vitamins and the fatty acid Omega 6, so this mask not only works to improve hydration and the complexion it does all of this whilst promoting cell repair and skin cell rejuvenation. Finally, there is the addition of sweet almond oil which is a high moisturising, emollient and nourishing properties.  

This mask smells good enough to eat thanks to the raw cacoa and it just feels amazing on the skin. Natural sugar extracts turn the exfoliating mask into a creamy milk on contact with water so that it rinses off easily and once you have removed every trace of the mask it leaves behind skin which smooth the touch, feeling moisturised and for me, skin which feels calm and less stressed.

The second cracker is the Calm and Bright Limited Edition Cracker (£25) and inside there are three products which come together to hydrate, soothe and calm.  

The first product is a Daily Defence Moisture Mist (30ml) and this is described as being a potent protective serum facial mist which uses an organic Mexican cactus elixir to calm irritated skin whilst helping to increase hydration.  This mist smells just absolutely amazing and also include African Moringa peptides which protect the skin from pollutants and purify the skin while hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and leaves the skin looking much improved.

The second product within the cracker is the Hyaluronic Serum 200.  Perfect for normal to dry skin, there is 200mg of hyaluronic acid per bottle and it works alongside some Organic pomegranate extract which works to soften and protect the skin, Aloe Vera Juice which is soothing for dry, sensitive skin. Will help to calm redness and heal the skin and then we have the delicate fragrance of organic rosewater which gives this serum one of the nicest smells.  What I really like about this serum is just how it makes my skin feel, having double cleansed, I apply this serum before any moisturiser and my skin feels like ive just had a facial, so smooth to the touch.

The final product within this cracker is the Daily Renew Facial Cream (30ml). Perfect for normal to dry skin, this cream feels incredibly luxurious. Using a blend of pure organic oils such as Argan Oil which is is high in vitamin E and fatty acids, giving the skin a youthful glow. It is easily absorbed. Vitamin E and fatty acids are also known for their ability to repair damaged skin and prevent further damage. Apricot Kernal Oil and Sesame Oil which both have moisturising, nourishing and revitalising properties. 

You will also find Hyaluronic Acid as an ingredient and again, this cream is delicately fragranced using both soothing hypoallergenic vanilla & coconut natural fragrance.

These gifts have been such a wonderful introduction to Evolve Beauty and I am excited to see where the brand goes next.  Already there is a catalogue packed full of products across the serums, creams, toners, treatments, oils and eye care categories or you can search for your ideal product based upon your main concern such as dryness, dehydration, blemish or dullness to name just a few.

3 Reasons 360 frontal wigs are so popular

360 frontal wigs are becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry and among many young girls and women. These wigs go all around your head, allowing you to style your hair all around and not just the front giving your hair a natural look and hairline.

360 frontal wigs are not like any other regular wigs and even though they are sometimes confused with lace closures, these two are not the same. A lace closure can be used to make a wig since the closure only covers a portion of the head. But, sometimes 360 frontal wigs are considered closures. However, they both create a natural looking and flawless hairline.

Great for protective styles

360 frontal wigs are quite versatile and allow you to set up different hairstyles. Because the full lace base allows the wig to be parted anywhere on the head, these wigs can be worn in any style, be it a ponytail or just left to hang on your shoulders. This makes it look real, amazing, natural on almost everyone and it’s also sufficiently protective.

Most 360 frontal wigs either come pre-plucked or you can pre-pluck them yourself. Due to this, you can easily braid/cornrow it, wrap, or flatten the hair providing you with different styling options. But, when installing and styling, try and flatten your hair as flat as possible for a more natural look. This improves how the wig finally looks on your head when it’s styled.

Although you will find some synthetic types, most 360 frontal wigs are 100% human hair, therefore, you can use curling and flat irons the way you do with your natural hair. However, limit using hot hair tools since the hair can get damaged due to overheating. If possible, just set the hair and let it air dry.

Easy to install

You have two ways in which you can install a 360 frontal wig, you can opt to use an adhesive/glue or not. Installing a 360 frontal using glue only takes around one hour, making it an easier option compared to weaving bundles. The time you take to install depends on the technique that you use. During installation, ensure that you cover your hair by either wearing a stocking or wig cap that is close to your skin's color so as to have your parts look natural.

Durability

360 frontal wigs can last for 3-4 weeks if glued well, although it depends on how long you wear it and how much you sweat. Frontals are not the best choice for people who sweat a lot. If you are someone who sweats a lot, the wig will not stay on for too long, especially if it is installed with glue/adhesive since the glue will come off fast.

One advantage is that the wig can be removed, washed, dried and then reinstalled as many times as you want. But, you need o to wash it carefully at least twice a week to keep it clean and soft. Use a hair conditioner to wash it and leave the wig in the conditioner for a little longer time while washing to get more nutrition.

Since only one can serve you for a long time, this saves you money as compared to buying several hair bundles along with one closure for parting purposes. Choose from the best 360 Frontal Lace Wigs and 360 Lace Frontals for a better, natural look.
