Lipstick and Luxury loves Japonesque Safari Chic Brush Collection

April 22, 2012

Japonesque Safari Chic Brush Collection

Take a walk on the wild side with this Safari Chic Brush Collection by Japonesque! The Safari Chic Brush Set in a signature microfiber case and a 3-piece set if brushes including a powder brush, shadow brush and a crease brush. Each brush is handmade using cruelty-free synthetic hair. The Safari Chic Bronzer brush features a dome-shaped brush to ensure easy application of bronzers, powders and luminizers.

These brushes are incredibly soft and smooth and the bristles hold the right amount of pigment. The makeup brush handles were easy to hold and manuever. Not only do the brushes work well but they’re gorgeous to look at, the animal print is unique since most brushes are solid black or brown. Overall I loved using these brushes and can appreciate Japonesque offering a cruelty-free makeup brush option.

Five Train Cases to Store Your Makeup, Stylishly

March 22, 2011

If you’re a connoisseur of cosmetics, you probably share the opinion that what’s in a jar, stick or pallette of color- the product itself- is only part of the experience when opening a favorite or new item. A gorgeous compact or an extra touch like a silky drawstring pouch can instantly influence you to be far more pleased with a product than you might have been without the fancy packaging.

This aesthetic influence extends past your potions themselves and over to your tools as well. Train cases serve a dual purpose in this regard- they organize and store your most treasured pieces safely, but also offer a pretty presentation on your vanity table or when you’re putting on your makeup. Here are five options for every makeup collection:

1.) Japonesque Train Case in Pink: This sleek, bubblegum pink lacquered train case wouldn’t look out of place in a fifties or sixties era starlet’s dressing room. It’s petite for a cosmetic case, with four small shelf/drawers and a larger bottom cavity, but should store any average sized makeup collection easily. (Above.)

2.) Kat Von D Adora Traincase: If the pink train case above isn’t visually stimulating enough for you, this black, white and red velvet number could fit the bill. Bedecked in the tattoo-artist-turned-makeup-brand’s signature inky style, this single level mirrored case has six pockets of varying size and feels a bit showgirly.

3.) Sephora Collection Metro Train Case in Black Diamond: Form and function are both factors in selecting this spacious, fully-featured professional-style train case. If you both travel and cannot be parted from your entire collection, the Sephora Black Diamond Train Case comes standard with both a lock and a strap to keep fellow passengers out and facilitate transportation across trains, flights and hotels. Two rows of roomy drawers open up to a huge bottom area to store even the most comprehensive set of lipsticks and glosses, and the classic black exterior has a bit of a quilted finish instead of the easily-scuffable, usual matte black.

4.) Black Soft Side Roll Down Makeup Case: Classic-style train cases have a certain allure, but if you’ve carried one any distance, you know that the hard corners have a way of knocking into your legs on jetways and taking up all the space stowed under or over seats. The rounded corners and purse-like look of this train case variant nclude the same multi-tier interior but lack the tank-like feel of its utilitarian cousins.

5.) Shany Silver Aluminum Train Case: Another classic train case style is brushed steel, and this particular model is a no-frills workhorse version. Corrugated tiers are big and wipe down easily, and the dividers are adjustable for more customizable storage.

How do you organize your makeup? Did you implement a system mainly for the way it looks, or do you have your pieces stashed in a more intuitive way?
