New Product Launch: Makeup Brush Rolls

My Etsy shop is finally stocking a new product, the adorable makeup brush rolls!

Each individual item is handmade - designed, cut, stitched - by myself.

The rolls feature a cute bulldog print in 3 colours. Each roll comes with 10 brush slots and can fit 2 large brushes and 8 standard brushes. The inner lining is also waterproof, simply wipe with a damp cloth and it's clean!

Be it at home or on-the-go, these brush rolls tie up neatly and compactly to fit anywhere.

My New Etsy Shop Mr.Magg

Hi everyone,

I've recently started my own little shop on Etsy.com where I sell my handmade items. This short post is a little shameless promotion to create awareness of my new products and also to form the new creative corner of this blog.

The shop name Mr.Magg is inspired by the behaviour of magpies which, like most girls, like shiny nice things. From bags to clutches to accessories, I strive to create quirky and fashionable products out of beautiful and inspired fabrics, leathers and any other material that catches my fancy.

My first product is the Elephant Bag Charm in Leather, available in several colours:

To purchase or view more images, please visit my shop on Etsy.com by clicking on this link.

As this little project of mine is still new, I will be adding new items in the shop gradually as I make them so excuse the limited number of products for now.

I ship worldwide from Sydney, so please support Mr.Magg!

Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Hi guys,

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year break! I know I sure did, even though my wisdom tooth was acting up and I missed out on some delicious food because of it... ...

Today I am reviewing a product that has been in my makeup drawer for years. It's one of those products that I use every. single. day. A cult favourite with makeup junkies around the world, this baby has 5,949 reviews on Makeupalley with an impressive 4.3/5 rating. Yup, it is none other than the Urban Decay Primer Potion!

I have the primer in Original, which is a thick beige-coloured cream. The product applies matte and has a teensy bit of coverage which evens out minor discolorations on my eyelids. The colour matches my NC35 skin very closely. I'm not sure if this would be too light for darker skins but based on the reviews from Makeupalley, this does not seem to be a problem.

For those interested, here are the ingredients:

There are several things I love about this primer:

- It keeps my eyelids matte and completely oil-free

- Does not crease 

- Eyeshadow colours are vibrant and true to their colour when applied

- Eyeshadow stays put. Seriously, it is not going anywhere, even after a sweaty night out.

- All effects mentioned above last the entire day, from when I put it on until I remove it.

- The 11ml tube lasts a looooong time. I think I had my first one for several years.

Some cons:

- I just replenished this primer, and the new tube forms tiny clumps when applied to my lids. Even though they do disappear as you rub it in, it's annoying. My previous tube didn't have this problem, I wonder if I got a bad batch?

- It doesn't exactly feel weightless as described on the box. I don't feel it much on my skin, but there is some stiffness where it's applied.

- Sometimes the product seems to have separated when I squeeze it out from the tube

Despite minor problems, the Urban Decay Primer Potion does exactly what I want it to. I have extremely oily lids and with this product, I don't have to worry about my eye makeup at all throughout the day.

The Primer Potion set me back by $39. I got it from an asian cosmetics shop on Bourke Street in Melbourne, but I believe it can be purchased online.

What do you think? How was your experience with this product?
