Roo Beauty - Zebra Tool Bag

This Zebra Tool Bag from Roo Beauty is everything you could want in a makeup bag! It is the perfect size, it's not too big and not too bulky, so if you have to travel for makeup work or appointments, you're not going to be knocking everybody out on the train! I have a lot of makeup and this bag actually fits it all in, as well as my straighteners and multiple eye shadow palettes, so I have no problem in saying that your kit will fit in comfortably, so let's have a look at the details...

The main compartment will fit in full sized shampoo or conditioner bottles, moisturisers, toners, cleansers or brush cleaners. It will also accommodate a hairdryer, hair straighteners or hair curlers, as well as large makeup palettes or multiple brush tubes. Then there are all the other concealed zip compartments and added pockets. Each side of the bag has a small zip pocket, which you could put in mascaras, glitter dust pots, eyelash glue or eyelashes. The front of the bag has a concealed zip pocket and a smaller zip pocket on top of that. The bigger of these pockets you could fit in small eye shadow palettes and the smaller, you could fit in eyelashes or primers like I have done. As well as these pockets there is a large concealed zip pocket at the back of the bag which could fit in scissors, combs or a paddle brush. Then there are the little storage sections included inside the main compartment. In these you could put small brushes, scissors or combs, lipsticks, lip glosses or even nail art tools. The whole bag itself is made from a wipe clean material, so you can keep it nice and clean and it also comes with an over the shoulder carry strap. Whether you're a makeup artist, a hair stylist or just someone with a passion for either and a large collection of makeup/ equipment you like to travel with, this is the bag for you!
I love the fact that it has a bold, funky zebra print pattern, (also available in leopard print) and all the compartments mean you can fit in everything you need! You won't be disappointed! (That is unless you're the sort of person who carries round everything including the kitchen sink... that definitely won't fit... sorry!)

If you fancy purchasing this bag, you can do so from the Roo Beauty site *here* for £34.99 or if you'd prefer the leopard print version, you can get that *here!*

You can visit the Roo Beauty site *here* which I would definitely recommend as they sell pretty much everything for your beauty storage needs, ranging from Beauty Trolleys to Nail Polish Storage. I will definitely be visiting their site again in the future.

Crown Brush Products

For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive some Crown Brush products! These were the Foundation/ Camouflage/ Corrector Palette and Set 615 - White HD Brush Set.

First off, the palette! Crown Brush have put everything you need for a perfect base into one little palette! If you have bags under your eyes... this will cover them! Angry spots? This will cover them! Small blemishes? THIS will cover them! The palette contains six different cream based concealers, lilac, green and then four different tones of skin colour. Because the palette contains cream based products it means they can be easily applied one on top of the other and blended. Priced at £22.99 on the Crown Brush website I would 100% recommend you get one, as you won't need anything else for your foundation routine! You can conceal your blemishes, correct uneven skin tone and apply your chosen colour of foundation all from this palette and you can even use one of the darker tones to contour. It is a makeup lovers must have!

Next up, the brushes! Set 615 - White HD Brush Set is a 7 piece set, made up of 6 brushes and 1 pair of tweezers; the set comes in a white patent leather case, with a little mirror on the left hand side. The brushes themselves are white with blue tips and are made up of nylon bristles, not only do they look gorgeous, they are of extremely high quality. Even if you use drugstore makeup which isn't of the same quality as high end brands such as MAC or Illamasqua, it is worth investing in a good quality set of brushes like these. Even with the smallest amount of product (such as eye shadow) on one of these brushes, the dense nylon bristles that make up the brush, pick up the colour pigment and transfer it to your eyelid without losing the intensity of the colour/ pigment in the shadow. They are really beautiful brushes which produce strong, pigmented results no matter what brand of makeup you use! Priced at £29.99 on the Crown Brush website, you get a Pro Powder Brush, a Tapered Blush Brush, a Deluxe Contour Brush, a Chisel Shadow Brush, a Crease Blender Brush and a Detail Liner Brush, as well as the case they come in and a little pair of tweezers! 

I used both my Crown Brush brushes and my Crown Brush palette to create the 'Butterfly' makeup look below. As you can see from my eyes and lips, the brushes picked up the pink pigment incredibly and it went onto my eyes and lips smoothly, still keeping the strong pigmented colour of the pink eye shadow and lipstick. I am very impressed with the quality of both products from Crown Brush and I will definitely be purchasing more from them in the future!
