Haul-lelluia!: Suesh Make-up Train Case + Brushes!
My most favorite print in the whole wide world (OA??) are damask patterns. Anything swirly with a vintage feel I absolutely adore! So you can imagine that when I saw the Suesh VV-MT10V Case I was definitely smitten!
But since I already have my lovely purple traincase, it wasn't on my "BUY NOW" list. So I forgot all about that traincase until one day I just cannot close my traincase anymore with all of the make-up I have acquired during make-up school! So I set out to find a bigger one.
My mom and I attended the Cosmetologie 2010 event. She was there to support a friend who is also the organizer while I was there to just look around. As we were going around the exibits, I spied the SUESH booth and inside was the traincase I've been lusting for! My jaw literally dropped from all the cases, beauty supplies and brushes. Then my mom asked if I wanted to buy the traincase since they accept credit cards? (pretty cool by the way) Of course my response was: "Uhm, YES!!!!" So we bought it with several brushes. And the suesh girls (sorry, I didn't get their names) are sooo nice! There were so many people in their booths but they still managed to be so poised and pretty! and best of all she gave us a discount! so from 5,000 pesos, she gave it to us for only 4,800! (hehe 200 pesos less only but still!) plus individual brushes were 10% off during the event!
It has wheels for ease of traveling!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Cheap-o Lashes!
As a make-up artist, I constantly have to restock on false lashes. And the best kind of lashes are real hair not the plastic ones. I used to use those because the kuripot in me just cannot spend 500+ pesos on false lashes that I would just have to throw away after it has been worn out! (Ahem, Ardell) The problem with the plastic ones is that they look so unnatural and spiky! definitely weird looking!
Thankfully in make-up school my teacher introduced us to these lashes!

- Price! 35 pesos yay!
- As a MUA, its great for clients because its just cheap so you wouldn't want your lashes back! =P
- Its lightweight unlike plastic lashes.
- The Packaging. you have to tear apart the box to get the lashes undamaged.
- Only 5 Varieties available. (No Under lashes..)

21-piece Make-up Brush Set under 1,000 pesos?? what?!?!
It was actually great timing that I stumbled upon these brush set! It was last December when I decided to enroll in a make-up school and I was really searching for a brush set that's not that expensive since I also have to invest in loads of make-up. I canvassed and found that it would set me back at least 3,000 pesos just to have a decent set. So I thought that that would be the best deal out there... I was proven wrong!!
2. Powder Brush
3. Blush Brush
4. Angled Blush Brush
5. Large Concealer Brush/ Mini Foundation Brush
6.XL shader brush
7. Large/med. shader brush
8. Small shader brush
9. Angled shader brush
10. Crease brush
11. Flat-top pencil brush
12. Fan Brush
13. Medium Concealer/Cream Brush
14. Small Concealer Brush
15. Angled Concealer Brush
16. Angled liner brush
17. Lip Brush
18. Liner Brush
19. Sponge-tip
20. Brow brush w/ lash separator
21. Spooly
And It comes in a Brush Roll! Handy Right? =D
Overall these are not the best quality brushes (Hello 799pesos only!) but if you are a make-up enthusiast and would like to build your brushes, then this would be a great starter set!
Pros:
- The Price!! 21 brushes for 799?? waaah!
- Wooden handle
- combination of Natural and Synthetic hairs
- Washable! It has survived many many deep cleansings!
- Fall-outs. The first time I used the brushes some hairs were stuck to my face but stopped after a few washes.
- Hair quality is not that great. Just average.
- Why include a sponge-tip?? waste of space!
- Im not sure if the ferrule is glued to the handle well. I make sure that the ferrule and handle does not get wet.
- No Foundation Brush.
Happy Shopping!!
