  1. These brush sets are great. I have had such great luck with Mac brushes. I am really taken with the "Perfectly Plush" set.

  2. Oh my make up brushes are decades old. I actually need short handled ones now, I'm struggling to see with my long handled brushes.

    1. I could not possibly get along without my lighted magnifying mirror. I've always been blind as a bat for distance, but now have middle-aged close-up vision problems as well. I put makeup on without my contacts in, so I just stick my face up in the mirror and plaster it on. Shorter handled brushes do work better for me. Once I've got the eye makeup on, I can put contacts in and finish up with the blush & blending. Or I could just go barefaced, but that's not a pretty sight!

    2. I 2nd the magnifying mirror point, never knew how good they are for makeup until I holidayed this summer with a female friend and she used one each night for makeup..

      Love the holiday offerings also, a brilliant time for brush/moisturizer/mascara/eye makeup remover/fragrance purchases, often have decent freebies with them at this time of year - I have learned to stock up! Have a lovely holiday time Elle x

  5. Brilliant idea. Mine are old and the handles too long. I'm going to get a set today!

  8. Good old Bobbi Brown. Nothing like peach satin to make one feel feminine in an classic movie sort of way.

  9. I got a kit from Sephora with something like 12 brushes but I only use one. I'm not really sure what all of the brushes are for. I noticed in an earlier post you mentioned that lipstick is applied with a brush-blot-brush procedure but I'm still not sure how it's supposed to work. I vote for a lipstick application post!
