TINY BUT FIERCE: Handmade Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case

April 12, 2018 · 5 Comments

What would we do without our makeup brushes, they turn us into beauty ninjas. But lugging around full-size brushes requires a full-size makeup bag on vacation, at the gym and for touchups before after-work dinner or drink plans. That is cumbersome and impractical. While there are always the applicators that come with the makeup, these are generally of poor quality. We recently tried Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case. Unlike mass production brush kits, these brushes are hand-made in the USA and meet our on the go beauty needs with a face blender, cream shadow, eyeshadow and fine eyeliner brush in a mirrored case.

The handy Belle mini brush set is about the size of a cell phone case and holds four quality brushes and mirror

WHAT THIS SET CONTAINS

THE CASE: The shiny metallic case is roughly the size of a phone. It has a sturdy zipper and contains the four brushes. The brushes each come with plastic cap sleeves to keep them nice and protect the bristles when not in use. The inside of the case holds a mirror for on-the-go touchups.

This Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set has four brushes in a mirrored case:

Face blender brush
Powder/Dry eye shadow brush
Cream shadow brush
Ultra-fine eye liner brush

The Bella case zips open to reveal four brushes that can be used to apply or blend all your on the go makeup

MATERIAL QUALITY & CONSTRUCTION

We find many mini brush sets, even those from higher-end boutique beauty stores, to be rather cheaply made. We use them a few times and they break or the bristles fall out. They also aren’t all that effective in applying or blending product. This set, however, is constructed with quality materials including durable brass ferrules, the finest hair for bristles that do not shed in use or during washing. I found they withstood powder, cream, BB Primer, Foundation, shadow, gel liner, and concealer.

Bristles that do not fall out, are soft, high quality and durable

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE BELLA MINI COSMETIC BRUSH SET BRUSHES

DRY/POWDER EYESHADOW BRUSH: Many of my favorite eyeshadow palettes, such as the Urban Decay Naked series, come with quality brushes that enable a smooth application, so for touchups or post-gym shadow re-dos, I want to use a quality brush as well. I find the eyeshadow brush comparable to the UD brushes I use both in the soft feel of the bristle, the stiffness that picks up the shadow, the lack of fallout upon application, and ease of use.

Bella dry eyeshadow brush loads color well without fallout. Shown here with Urban Decay Walk of Shame Eyeshadow, my go-to work day neutral eye base shade.

At just shy of four inches, (9.8 cm) this eye shadow brush is an especially nice size for the UD Basics/UD Basics 2/UD and UD Naked Petite Heat, the five shadow compacts that are perfect for pocket or purse but don’t come with a brush.

The ideal size for purse size mini palettes or palettes that do not come with a worthy shadow brush

This brush is just the right size and function, with a thicker base that thins out for better blending. It applies shadow exceptionally smoothly, I like it just as well as my full-size $30 brand name boutique eyeshadow brush.

Blends smoothly and evenly with no fallout

CREAM EYESHADOW BRUSH: For use with cream shadows, I also find this useful for re-applying a base or blending my YSL Eclat or re-applying liquid or cream concealer for mid-day touchups. I use cream eyeshadows less, but find that cream shadow brushes tend to not pick up product evenly, or that there ends up being a fair amount of waste. This brush deposits product without streaks, I like the smoother application, I can get a nice thin coat of shadow.

In a pinch, I find it useful for precise creamy/liquid highlighter, such as MAC Strobe highlighter on the cheekbones. It is not as thicker a diameter as the dry eyeshadow brush, the bristles are straight.

Cream Eye Shadow brush is thinner in diameter for precise application without streaks

EYELINER BRUSH: This brush has a cap when closed, so it can transport some product on the brush is you choose to “pre-load it” with liner product when you are at home such as mineral powder, gel or cream liner from a pot, such as Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wearing Eyeliner Gel or Maybelline’s cream liner, then you have it for touchups without having to carry the liner product. The cap fits onto the end of the brush to make a long handle which makes it easier to create a thin line or cat-eye liner. The cap stays put, and it is steady enough for doing a thicker cat-eye or heavy liquid liner on the go for a transition from a work look to after dinner eye makeup look.

The liner brush tip is not too hard, not too soft. It doesn’t drag or skip on the application. Angle it for a thin or thick line.

I also find it useful to wet the brush either with water or a drop of Visine to create a liner out of dry eyeshadow, I especially like lining my eyes with a few of the UD Basics, such as the black shade, or if I am doing a particularly heavy lash look, a thin line of the taupe eyeshadow applied with the thick end of the brush gives some definition without giving too dark of a look around the lower lashline.

Ideal for wet shadow liner application or shadowing over liquid or cream liner

Lastly, this is a nice size for pressing a bit of eyeshadow over the top liner to powder it down into place, make the line more even, intense and long-lasting.

FACE BLENDER BRUSH: The bristles on this are exceptionally soft and fluffy, but it still blends contour, foundation, powder, and blush very well. The versatile cream, liquid and powder use of this brush makes it a nice go-to item for your bag. It blends makeup well without streaking.

The versatile Bella Face Blender Brush works with both creamy foundations and powder makeup

It is soft to the touch but stiff enough to apply powder in an even thin layer.

The face blender brush is SO FLUFFY yet is stiff enough to blend smoothly

I particularly like this brush for blush touchups during the day, and it works well after a gym workout or while traveling to use it for BB Primer or foundation. By pinching down on each side of the head, it becomes an excellent fan brush travel dupe.

CONCLUSION

This Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case features four easy to grip, ergonomic handles, soft bristles, portable, attractive, sturdy storage. The set is highly versatile, attractive, durable, fits in even the smallest of makeup bags, and contains brushes that are ergonomic, easy to use, sturdy, and offer an exceptionally smooth application. The set comes with a no-hassle money-back guarantee and one-year return window. A great gift for yourself, a friend, a constant traveler, or anyone who would appreciate quality craftsmanship in a portable and practical brush set.

The Decadent Multi-Tasker: Wild Beaute Coconut Tangerine Melt

April 10, 2018 · 9 Comments

We live in a day and age that a 13-step skincare process is not uncommon. But what if you could skip the other 12 products and just used one decadent product for multiple beauty needs?

Well now you can, with the incredibly luxurious Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt. Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt is made of only two ingredients: Organic Cold-pressed Coconut Oil, and Organic Cold pressed Tangerine Essential Oil. The two ingredients work in tandem to provide the skin with intense hydration. And the scent is absolutely amazing: I’ve been wearing it as my fragrance lately instead of perfume!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

TIP: To add a little bit more decadence, use a small silver spoon to measure out the amount you want to use. I use a beautiful vintage spoon, and it looks gorgeous next to the jar on my vanity table!

FACE

You probably don’t need me to extol the virtues of Coconut Oil, but it’s worth spending a bit of time on since this is an especially high-grade, well crafted Coconut Oil. Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil maintains more of the beneficial aspects and is a truer form of the oil. In traditionally pressed Coconut Oil, a lot of what makes Coconut Oil helpful is “cooked off” since heat is used. So when looking for Coconut Oil, always look for a Cold-Pressed one like Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt.

Tangerine Oil has antifungal and antiseptic properties, which makes it ideal for skincare, especially as a gentle treatment for acne. It also helps to heal skin – great for dabbing on acne scars!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

Everyday: I love using a thin layer of Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt under my sunscreen on days I know I’ll be in dry conditions, like forced heat in an office. My skin doesn’t get oily but remains dewy all day. It is also a fantastic lip primer. I haven’t had completely smooth lips since I was four, but Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt makes my lips smooth and ready for lipstick!

Intense Moisture Mask: As a soothing Sunday Night treat, I take a generous amount of Coconut Tangerine Melt, melt it slightly between my fingers, and smooth it over my face. Then I place a hot washcloth over my face, put on some relaxing music, and rest for twenty minutes. It smells amazing, and when my twenty minutes is up, I gently massage my skin to allow every last drop of moisture to absorb. My skin is so smooth and glowing, and it stays incredibly soft! Putting on makeup on Monday morning is so much easier since I have soft, plump skin to work with. And I don’t limit it to just Sundays, I use it as a moisture mask anytime my skin needs a shot of extra moisturizer!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

HAIR

Ah, using Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt on hair. Your hair will thank you for this. Once a week, I like to melt some and use it as a hot oil treatment, and then wrap my hair in a hot towel. I leave it in for about an hour and then rinse it out. The result? My hair is amazingly shiny and soooooo soft! I also do mid-week treatments on my ends to keep them healthy.

It is also fantastic for second-day hair. I take a small amount and emulsify it between my hands, and then scrunch it into my hair and massage my scalp with it. My hair looks bouncy, shiny, and smells fantastic. It works the same if you want straight hair, just use a light hand.

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

BODY

Want the most decadent shave you’ve ever gotten? Use Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt as a shave cream. Apply it to your legs before you get in the shower, and let it set in the steam for a few minutes before you shave. Not only will you get the smoothest shave of your life, but your shower will smell amazing!

I also love using it as a post-shower moisturizer. It gives my arms a healthy glow and makes them so soft. I especially love it on elbows, knuckles, and the bane of my beauty existence, my cuticles. It moisturizes my cuticles and keeps hangnails from forming.

MAKEUP

Makeup is fun. Taking off makeup at the end of a long day is not fun. But using Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt to take off your makeup at the end of the day is a luxurious experience that you will look forward to. No more falling asleep in your makeup!

Just take a bit, rub it between your fingers, and spread it over your face. It will gently remove your makeup, even waterproof mascara. Gently wipe your face with a soft towel, and your face will be clean and moisturized at the same time!

A little makeup hack I love: if your skin is looking a little dull during the day, pat a tiny bit of Coconut Tangerine Melt onto your cheekbones, brow bone, or anywhere else that could use a little glow. Instant highlighter!

Something else we love about Wild Beauté products: they are made by a small company of four women. This means they know exactly what constitutes a great beauty product, because they are making the products that they need and use themselves! I love women-owned companies who just want to help other women! And as the icing on the cake, Wild Beauté supports Wildlife conservation and protection and works with global organizations to protect animals worldwide. And they are cruelty-free!

Classic & Responsible Alternative Diamond Engagement Ring: Gem Stone King Moissanite Sterling Silver

March 23, 2018 · 23 Comments

When it comes to engagement rings, the appeal of a diamond is undeniable: it’s sparkle, brilliance, fire, and clarity! But ethical and environmental concerns over diamond-mining cause many to seek a non-diamond alternative. There are beautiful colored gemstone engagement ring options, but if you love the traditional and classic look of a diamond, an outstanding conflict-free alternative is Moissanite. Gem Stone King combines the conflict-free Moissanite with a traditional diamond engagement ring setting that’s perfect for the classic but responsible woman: the Gem Stone King .925 Sterling Silver Solitaire with Accent Stones Created Moissanite Engagement Ring.

Gem Stone King Moissanite Sterling Silver alternative diamond Engagement Ring is conflict-free and has all the beauty of a natural diamond

WHY CONSIDER MOISSANITE FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING

Moissanite is a naturally occurring and chemically produced stone that structurally is an exceptional match for the look of a diamond. Moissanite is a conflict-free gemstone that is environmentally and ethically responsible.

Created Moissanite emulates natural diamond characteristics so well that it easily fools the naked eye, especially when mounted on a traditional setting such as found on this Gem Stone King engagement ring.

Created Moissanite has a particularly clear, flawless clarity. The result is a conflict-free, traditional diamond engagement ring look, and style but at a far more attractive price point than a diamond of the same carat size can offer.

DIAMOND VERSES MOISSANITE SPECIFICS

Of diamond alternatives, Moissanite is an excellent choice. Not only is this diamond alternative conflict-free, but its’ fire, clarity, and brilliance closely match the attributes of a natural diamond.

BRILLANCE

Diamonds are so well loved mostly due to their unique brilliant sparkle, measured by something called a Brilliance Refraction Index. A diamonds’ Brilliance Refraction Index is higher than rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Moissanite’s “Brilliance Refraction Index” just slightly brighter than a natural diamond, but not so bright as to look fake or too “blingy”. There is a natural elegance to natural and created Moissanite.

This created Moissanite has the brilliance of a diamond with the rare silver based reflection

FIRE

There’s more fire (the dispersion of light or colored reflections seen when turning or tilting the stone) to a Moissanite than a diamond, giving the look of a high-grade, exceptional clarity diamond.

Fire is often masked on darker gemstones, so if you want both high fire and a diamond alternative, Moissanite makes an ideal engagement ring choice.

The cut enhances the fire of the stone

CLARITY

The chemical structure of both created and natural Moissanite is flawless in terms of having little to no visible cloudiness, inclusions, irregularities or blemishes, resulting in a clarity comparable to a high-grade diamond but without appearing so transparent as to look fake or glass-like.

HARDNESS

Moissanite is slightly less hard as a diamond but harder and more durable than other non-diamond engagement stones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.

ABOUT THIS GEM STONE KING DIAMOND ALTERNATIVE MOISSIANTE RING DESIGN

As seen worn on the ring finger

FOCAL STONE

The cut is timeless brilliant round, which gives the most sparkle. The stone is IJK which is a faint color classification. It is held in a four prong setting to lend a traditional diamond link. It has a DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight) of almost one carat (.95).

It has an exceptionally diamond-like look with lovely sparkle. I like the modern yet classic look. The size of the stone feels just right to me, understated but not chintzy looking or too gaudy or large.

SIDE STONES

The ring has ten side stones embedded in the band, five on each side. These stones are eye clean, round cut Cubic Zirconia. The smaller side stones are each 1.5 mm wide and long.

Small Cubic Zirconia side stones work well with a Moissanite focal gemstone. While Cubic Zirconias lack the brilliance of a Moissanite, (that colorless light sparkle), they do hold have that rainbow fire, especially with the right cut. This rainbow fire on these round cut smaller stones lends a nice subtle but eye-catching sparkle.

Five round cut side stones flank each side

The band detailing and round cut gives subtle sparkle and interest without outshining the focal stone

BAND

The band is .925 Sterling Silver that has a modern yet timeless engraved pattern and a traditional white gold look. The high shine compliments the brilliant sparkle of the embedded side stones and the focal stone.

.925 Sterling Silver band pattern and setting are both traditional yet modern

CONCLUSION

While there are many environmentally and socially conscious conflict-free engagement ring options available, few offer the look of a traditional diamond as well as this Gem Stone King Moissanite Engagement Ring does. It is conflict-free without forsaking any of the timeless diamond features of fire, brilliance, durability, clarity, and sparkle that are typically seen in a classic style engagement ring.

Choosing a Blue Engagement Ring: Gem Stone King Blue Mystic Topaz and Diamonds Engagement Ring

March 18, 2018 · 15 Comments

The sapphire and diamond engagement ring worn by the late Princess Diana and now Kate Middleton is perhaps amongst the most well-known examples of an engagement ring that does not feature a diamond as the focal stone. Colored engagement rings have become increasingly popular to show individuality and to own a distinctive piece of jewelry. The Gem Stone King Blue Mystic Topaz Diamond Halo with 10K White Gold engagement ring retains a traditional engagement ring look while still having a unique and modern vibe.

Gem Stone King Blue Mystic Topaz and Diamond Engagement Ring

CHOOSING A NON-DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING

We tend to think primarily of diamonds for engagement rings, but this concept only became popular around 1900 as part of a jewelry company’s clever marketing campaign. While the sparkle of a diamond cannot be denied, other stones can be just as timeless and beautiful. Many gemstones even have more vibrant reflective properties than diamonds, catching the light in a way that makes for lovely rainbow-like reflections.

WHY CHOOSE GEM STONE KING FOR YOUR NON-DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING

You may wish for an engagement ring that is a bit different and special, but at the same time be cautious not to choose something so modern that its’ a trend that will quickly look outdated. Gem Stone King specializes in blending tradition with modern styling, resulting in an elegant timeless look that is still appealing to a younger, sleeker woman.

The Gem Stone King family has been in the diamond business for over 100 years. The president is a fourth generation diamond merchant. Based in New York, New York, and their jewelry is mainly manufactured in the United States. Gem Stone King oversees local production to keep costs low while employing old world methods with modern technology. The result is jewelry that is sleek enough for modern, young tastes while retaining a traditional design that is timeless.

CHOOSING THE GEM STONE KING BLUE MYSTIC TOPAZ FOR A NON-DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING

Blue sapphires, like Princess Diana’s engagement ring, are an elegant and versatile choice. One consideration about sapphires is that they can be such a deep hue of blue that they appear almost black or even opaque in some lightings, meaning there is less sparkle than may be desirable for an engagement ring.

GEM STONE KING BLUE MYSTIC TOPAZ AND DIAMOND HALO RING DETAILS

This Blue Mystic Topaz gemstone has the intensity of a sapphire without the darkness, rather it has a beautiful ocean blue clarity that many people seek in a blue gemstone ring.

Blue Mystic Topaz has a deep blue color but retains the depth and brilliance of a traditional engagement ring kind of sparkle

THE FOCAL STONE

The focal gemstone of a Blue Mystic Topaz of this Gem Stone King ring is called Tanzanite Blue, which is not quite as dark as a natural sapphire. A Mystic Topaz is brighter than a sapphire, but not an unnatural looking bright such as the royal blue shade that often occurs in created sapphires. Mystic Topaz often cast small rainbow hues within the depth of the stone. Its’ depth, sparkle, reflection, and the cut are more evident to the naked eye that is often seen in a natural sapphire.

Vibrant Blue Mystic Topaz has vibrant depth, brilliance, sparkle, and light

Oval stones allow for a round cut for maximum sparkle

It is a 1.30 Carat natural stone with an oval cut held in a traditional four-prong setting. The oval cut allows for the cut style, brilliance, and sparkle seen on a round diamond but with a unique and flattering look.

Side view of four prong setting

THE SIDE STONES

The twenty-eight side stones are natural diamonds that surround the focal stone in a halo. They are a combined total weight of 0.092 carats. The round cut maximizes the sparkle of each 0.05-carat diamond encircling the focal Topaz. These side stones catch a surprising amount of light and look particularly brilliant and sparkly when hands are in motion.

All Gem Stone King diamonds are conflict-free from authorized sources with a Kimberley certificate.

Twenty-eight natural round cut conflict-free diamonds

THE BAND

The 17mm band is 10K White Gold that has a high shine and luster. 10K White Gold is highly durable which makes it ideal for a band that will be worn daily for years to come.

The appearance is smooth and shiny, sleek and modern but it also has a traditional engagement ring look and feel. The white gold also enhances the cool blue tones of the gemstones.

While this ring can be given for any special occasion or worn as a statement piece ring, it makes a lovely choice for a non-diamond engagement ring because it nods to tradition while still showing the personal unique style of the wearer. Also, the inclusion of diamonds as side stones still incorporates the traditional diamond into the ring.

10KT White Gold band has a shiny, smooth finish that is durable

GIFT PRESENTATION PACKAGING

The ring comes in a double box gift presentation. The outer box is a white gift box with a gold Gem Stone King logo on the top. The inner box is a gold logo on a blue hinged ring box with velvet lining inside. The ring comes in a small bag to keep it free of lint or damage while in storage or before the presentation of the ring.
