Essential Brushes!

Hello guys!
Today I wanna talk to you about... BRUSHES! It's a stupid topics, you may think, but I think is one of the most important!
You don't need a whole set of them! Just the ones that you REALLY need! (read till the end and I'll tell you what mine are!)

I recently discover that, even if you have the most beautiful  makeup products, that allows you to have a smooth, flawless finish, you (almost!) need some good tools!

Every makeup brand has his own line of brushes now and they're not so hard to find/buy them anymore!
But! If you're not sure if the quality of them is nice... Do not buy them! You can always find really cheap brushes that have an amazing quality! Like the "Essence" ones!

Now... I tell you what my go-to brushes are!
  1. FOUNDATION BRUSH: I'm not talking about the "cat's tongue" foundation brush! But about a buffing brush! Which could be a kabuki or whatever you want! Make sure it has really dense bristles! It will give you a nice coverage without absorbing too much product!
    This is the one I use! And actually the only one I have! It's from "Real Techniques" ! Is only available in "kit" ("Sam picks" or "The core collection") which sucks!!! I buy the whole Sam Picks collection... Btw...
  2. POWDER BRUSH: this is a multi-task brush! You can use it for setting your makeup, for bronzing your face and applying blush! It will give you a perfect finish! 
    Multi task brush from Real Techniques!
  3. CONTOUR BRUSH: there's nothing special about it! Everyone knows what this is made for! Bronzer and blush will be perfect with this!
    This is the " F05 - Small Contour" brush fro Sigma I don't have it (I have one by another brand) but is one of the most common brushes to find! You only have to make sure that it applies the product evenly! Not leaving patches!
  4. EYESHADOW BRUSH: just the "typical" flat eyeshadow brush!
    I've got this for years! It's amazing! From "Deborah Milano", It's not available worldwide, but in all the European continent!
  5. BLENDING BRUSH: this is a MUST-HAVE PRODUCT!! I don't know how I could live without him! Blending is the key of a good makeup! And this one will make his work! I think is one of those brushes that are hard to find (in the medium/low price range) but if you find the right one... You'll understand what I mean! And you will not live anymore without it!
    "KIKO" eyes 200, there are a lot of different opinions in the web! Some are good and some are bad! But... For me... It works! I think it depends on the way you wash it!
  6. FLAT ANGLED LINER BRUSH: eyeliner and brows are a must have for (almost) every woman! And this is the perfect brush! Just remember to clean it very well after you used it for gel eyeliner! Because, if not, It'll stain it!
    I've got one from a random brand, but all of them are good! This is the Sigma E65 - Small Angle brush.

So... I hope you've find this post useful! Let me know in the comments what you're favorite brushes are! You know, everyone is different and has different favorites!
Have a nice day! 

XOXO, Fede:)

Cakey Foundation?? No Thanks!

Happy MakeupFriday folks! Today I  decided to write about: FOUNDATION ! I know it might seems stupid, but every time I go somewhere i see girl with cakey foundation, who makes them look older and not so good looking! That's what I HATE seeing! I love Katy but... Just... WHY?? NO THANKS! I have to admit that, lately, I've been obsessed with skincare and makeup-bases, cause I've understand that those two "things" are the most important steps if you want a good-looking makeup!  So... I wanna tell you my " secrets " for obtaining a nice base, without looking like mummies ! Without further do... Let's get into it! MOISTURIZE YOUR FACE: I think I'll never stop saying it! There's no way you can obtain a good looking base without moisturizer! What is more important that moisturize your face? Your under-eye area (and even your eyelid)! If you skip this step... Your concealer will crease no matter what and if you also have dry eyelids your

How to: Grocery Shopping for Weight Loss on a Budget

Hi everybody! I love to go grocery shopping! Spending time in between the isles of a grocery store may be one of the most exciting things to do for me! Is that weird?? I don't know! But I love reading labels, discovering new products and maybe realize that some "healthy" alternatives are not that healthy! I could spend hours shopping for groceries... Literally... You can leave me there for six hours straight and I will be having fun the whole time! It's all fun and giggles until you want to have an healthy lifestyle! That's when the problems start! I mean... They're not actually "problems"... But you have to be more careful about what you put into the cart... It only requires more attention! The most diffused idea is that "healthy eating" is more expensive... But I realized that it could be actually cheaper than what you may think! The key is to plan your trip to the store . KNOWING THE BRANDS Knowing which brands are bett

LifeSum Vs MyFItnessPal

  Hi everybody! Today I'd love to talk about some tools that helped me counting calories while I was trying to loose weight with all the pros and cons (I'm talking about the base version, not the premium)! Now... I don't like reading reviews on the appStore, mainly because sometimes those who write don't even know what they're talking about, so I've decided to explain everything in this post! I've used both of the apps so I think that this could be a pretty useful review if you are a "normal" person (and for normal I mean someone that doesn't know that much about nutrition!) so... Let's get into the review! LIFESUM It's the best , in my personal opinion, app for beginners ! I find that at the beginning of a weight loss journey you shouldn't be counting macros (or, at least, not care about those alla that much!) and that's why I suggest this app! If you only want to count your calories intake and know how muc
