September Goodness with Virginia Olsen Brushes


        September has been good to me ever since the day I was born because it is my birth month but aside from that this year's month of September showered me with a lot of blessings from its very first day up until its last day! The 30th day was the one which surprised me a lot because I wasn't expecting anything that day in fact I was a bit sad because my favorite month was already ending. I was shocked when @Virginia_Olsen tweeted me saying that I won eye brushes from them weeeheee I never won any giveaway this is the first time so it means a lot :)


 So now let me present you the brushes, the time I opened the package and saw these brushes I already knew that they are soft without touching it, how? It's obvious haha! The bristles are fine and don't look scratchy so I guessed that they are soft and they didn't disappoint me, they are really soft! They are hypo-allergenic so they are safe to use but aside from being soft and safe these brushes are great in picking up pigments despite they are synthetic because I read a lot of reviews that natural animal hair brushes pick up more pigments than synthetic brushes do.

  Another reason to love these brushes are their handle, they look mighty with this handle! These natural bamboo handles are 100% ECO friendly because they have a low impact on our planet as they are highly sustainable resources.

Eyeshadow Brush - this brush is small, stiff and flat, it is perfect for applying eye shadow all over the lid because its flatness will give smooth finish and more intense color than fluffier brush.

                                       
Blending Brush - this is my favorite among the four because it is versatile! because of its fluffiness it blends multiple color perfectly and softens dramatic edges and fine lines thus it gives more natural look, it can also be used to create depth to crease and outer corner of the eye.
                                         
Concealer Brush - This is the concealer brush that I'm looking for!  It has a good size and shape, it is  soft and firm, and it doesn't give streaky lines and blends the concealer well. 

                                         
Angled Eyeliner Brush/Brow Brush - I haven't tried using it as an eyeliner brush but I think it would be good  since it is really thin but I have tried using it as brow brush it's good but it took time filling my brows since it is thin.
