Dirt Cheap Makeup Brushes!

Finding nice makeup brushes on a budget is a really hard task, so today I am going to share some of my affortable brush finds with you.

Let's start with eye brushes. I love Eco tools brushes in general, but their Essential eye set is a complete bargain and very nice. You get 5 brushes - a fat shader, an angled crease brush, a fluffy blender, a tiny shader and a small pencil/smudger brush. They are all synthetic, but pretty soft, and apply makeup very well. I haven't experienced any shedding with them either, so I am very happy with them.

I really like my Impala brushes and think they are an absolute bargain.

I have three of the Blending Brushes №2, because I love the style of them so much. It is not the softest brush, but it does the job very well and for the price, I can't complain. I use it to apply powder in targeted areas, to contour and highlight and also to blend the very edges of my eyeshadow. It is a very multi-purpose brush and it's a close dupe for the Inglot 4SS brush.

The Angled Brush and the Small Shader are also excellent little brushes for detail work. They all wash very well and maintain their shape. The angled brush is very stiff, so it's great for the brows. I would not use it on the upper eyelids.

I also love the Stippling brush. It applies brush and bronzer beutifully, it is also great for blending out any mistakes and for powder application.

Next are the Powder and Blush Brushes by Essence. The purple one is much denser and a little bit bigger compared to the pink blush brush. They are both extremely soft and easy to work with.Though I use the powder brush for bronzing the face and it works wonders!

Last but certainly not least, we have the Beauty&Soul Angled brush, that I love so much. I bought it in Germany, but if you can get your hands on it, do! It is awesome and in fact, I made a whole video using this brush. I applied my whole face makeup with it, so if you want to watch it, click here.

I hope you guys liked this post and it was somewhat helpful. If you would like to see similar posts in the future, let me know. 

Have a great day!

Donating my hair!

I donated my hair a week ago and it was such an emotional and exciting experience. Today I want to share my motivation and story with you, so hopefully you understand why this is so close to my heart.

Before and After

I'd like to start by explaining what donating your hair exactly is and why people decide to do it.

When somebody cuts their hair and decides to donate it, it is used to make wigs for people, who have cancer and are not fortunate enough to afford an expensive natural hair wig. The shock that these people go through is hard to be described, because they not only have to deal with chemo and being sick, but the women start to lose confidence. The wigs help these women to feel more normal and feminine again.

The joy you feel when you give something to another person, who needs it, is unreal. I wanted to cut my hair and donate it for a long time and when it finally got long enough, I decided it was time.

A lot of people were surprised and some even tried to stop me from cutting my long hair, but I was determined, because I knew I needed to do this. I needed a change and wanted to be one of the reasons somebody smiled one day.

I encourage all of the women, who are thinking about this and have long hair to take this step. It will make a difference in somebody's life, even if it's a small one. Regardless of what anybody else says, this little act of kindness will make an impact on somebody.

I donated 40 cm (about 16 inches) of my hair and I really like my new haircut. The minimum lenght of hair you can donate is 25 cm (10 inches). The hair has to be in a ponytail and if you dye your hair, you can still donate it, as long as it's not bleached and looks healthy.

Hopefully this post inspired some of you and/or educated you a little bit about hair donation. We can make a difference!

That's me now

What I Ate Wednesday

Hi! I am bringing back one of my favourite kinds of posts. What I Ate Wednesdays are back!

For breakfast, I took a tortilla and filled it with cucumber, corn and a little bit of yellow cheese on top. I packed it for school as a healthy breakfast and I loved it. 

Surprise, surprise! I had scrambled eggs with carrots, onion, corn and some white brine cheese. I am obsessed with this kind of a meal and I am sure you will be seing something similar all the time on these posts. Sorry, not sorry haha. 

I was super excited about dinner! I made pasta and again, opted for the veggies on top. Over the top of the noodles there is some lutenica (bulgarian sauce made out of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant), then I put some onion, cucumber, carrots, white brine cheese and basil on top of that. Yum!

I hope you liked my little post today! See you soon.
