BLEND BLEND BLEND!

real techniques makeup brushes

Makeup brushes are make or break for me to create a flawless makeup look.  In the era of thousands and thousands (even… millions?) of hours of YouTube beauty tutorials, there have never been more amazing tools out there to help us achieve our favorite looks from the ‘Tube stars.

I love watching YouTube beauty tutorials (guilty pleasure when trying to fall asleep at night!) and stumbled upon this video by the Pixiwoo girls–I knew I wanted to try out the brush that her foundation look fabulous at 2:57.

I stumbled upon the Bold Metals collection by accident during a Walmart trip–San Francisco has been in a MAJOR heatwave lately; thankfully Walmart was the only retailer to have fans in stock because the entire bay area is SOLD OUT??  Honestly–I was surprised to find these brushes at Walmart because they are a higher-end beauty tool!  I decided to bring home the entire collection because they were just so pretty–I’m a sucker for anything rose gold.

I tried the set out the next day before meeting my friends for brunch–risky move trying new brushes before having to look good–but I loved them!  With less expensive brushes I’m concerned that the bristles would be really rough and harsh on my skin but these were so soft and luxe.  My favorites of the bunch are the 301 flat contour brush because it’s unlike anything I own and sculpts out some major cheekbones, and the 201 pointed crease brush because it gets right in your eyelid crease to smoke out your eyeshadow so well.

Overall I’m so excited that these Bold Metals brushes are becoming part of my beauty toolset, I really love the quality for the price.  I would recommend these brushes if you’re looking to switch up your brushes or add a new type of brush to your collection.

Sharing is caring, right?  I’m hooking you guys up with a chance to win one of two $100 gift cards towards your own Bold Metals brushes so you can contour and blend blend blend too!  Enter via the widget below to get in on the action…good luck!

    Rose gold so hot right now(kinda like California weather)! Gosh I love how these brushes look. I probably wouldn’t even use them because they are so pretty!

      I felt the same way at first but they clean off very easily so they can be put back on display!

    Ooh I love finding a good steal, especially by accident! I am so glad you found a fan, living in Napa we are embracing this same heatwave, so miserable! I just cannot wait for the cool mornings that fall hopefully brings.

      Katie — I went to six different stores all over the bay area and everyone was sold out, I couldn’t believe it. But hey, I got a much needed fan and some amazing brushes so, win win! 😉

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
