Tulisa or Kelly - Birmingham NEC - June 1st

It is of course coming to that time of year when the x-factor audition start! I'm going to be keeping you updated on my opinions of the outfits that are: TULISA and KELLY.

Starting with week ONE: Birmingham Auditions

Tulisa: black v-neck playsuit with red polkadots and belt + classy updo

Kelly: yellow cropped puffy see-through tee with black swaying thigh-length skirt  + sleek, straight hair with fringe [bangs]

For me, the winner has GOTTA be...

TULISA

Perfectly suited to her gorgeous figure with lipstick, shoes and hair to match (and die for).

Kelly: I don't know what you were thinking here, the shoulder pads are a no-no with this yellow 'tee' and see-through? yer avin a laugh aint ya? And even with your figure, this top is not flattering. The skirts okay and the shoes would be nicer with less of a point. But hey, each to their own ey?

Sedona Lace - 12 Piece Professional Makeup Brushes

Sedona Lace is a make up brand, that's the only thing I think I can describe it as!


I'm here to tell you about it's Cosmetic brushes, they're something I would very much like to add to my make up collection! There are 12 Make up brushes to be had in this amazing set.  The material of the bristles confer distinct dynamics to the brush and every bristle composition is designed to deliver optimal performance for each make up brush. 


The brush set is currently on sale for only $49.95, which is £31.20 with the current PayPal exchange rate (as of 5th June 2011). 

The following brushes are included

Powder Brush 376 This sculpted brush head with natural bristles, allows for more precise placement. Great rounded top for "all over" application of loose powder.

Duo Fibre Brush 813 This brush is known to add the finish of an "airbrush look" when using liquid foundation, not the best brush for creme foundations. The great natural bristles of this brush help with the application of blush, also used as a highlight brush.

Foundation Brush 727 The synthetic bristles on this brush are non-absorbing to help keep your foundation on your face and not on the brush! Tapered Oval head gently helps to blend the foundation into place. Works well with any Liquid/creme products, but works best with Sedona Lace's 10 color camouflage concealer palette.

Large Angled Contour Brush 850 This angled shaped brush works best when used for applying blushes. Used to apply cheek contour, could also be used wet as a foundation brush. These natural bristles are best when used with Sedona Lace's Contour and Blush Palette.

Small Angled Brush 561 This stiff natural bristled brush is angled to help create the perfect eye brow when filling in. This is an essential brush when applying gel or creme eyeliner.

Large Shader Brush 941 This flat shaped brush is ideal for applying eye shadow primer and creme formulas. Could also be used for concealers in precise areas. Natural bristles.

Tapered Blending Brush 863 This brush has a rounded and tapered top and a perfect size for applying and blending an all over shadow. Packs color into the lip and also blends for a soft result. These natural designed bristles are best when used with Sedona Lace's Ulta shimmer 88 palette/matte 88 palette and the 120 pro palette first edition.

Pencil Brush 904 This brush is name of natural bristles and is perfect for smudging out eye liner Great for applying color in the crease and outer corner of the eye. This brush can easily create a gorgeous 'smokey eye' look.

Eye Shading Brush 305 This brush has a soft rounded top to helps apply loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal for packing on a lot of pigment and keeping an intense color. Natural bristles.
