The Body Shop has always been committed to social causes. Largely known for its eco-friendly and anti-animal testing philosophies, its latest offering Brush with Fashion is no different. A collaboration between The Body Shop and the London College of Fashion, an institution that shares similar values and beliefs as The Body Shop, this cruelty-free make up range is set to rock Spring 2011 with it trendy packaging and wearable colours.

I was excited to see Brush with Fashion already out in all The Body Shop Singapore stores. The bright colours and graphic packaging is quite different from The Body Shop’s usual range of products. I know I shouldn’t be buying any more make up, but I’d say keep your eyes peeled for the Limited Edition Brush With Fashion Mini Brush Kit (SGD$28.90).

If you haven’t already gotten a basic make up brush set, this mini kit contains four basic must have make up brushes. I’ve always lamented about the difficulty of carrying my full-sized brushes when I travel. Featuring a limited-edition designed pouch by fashion-illustration student Katarina Voloder from the London College of Fashion, the limited edition Brush with Fashion mini blusher brush, eyeshadow blender brush, slanted brush, lipstick/concealer brush is loving cradled in a trendy pouch and might just be my answer for all my travel getaways.

Every holiday season nearing Christmas, everyone’s favourite make up brand MAC releases a massive collection. When I say massive, I really mean it. The MAC A Tartan Tale Collection for Holiday 2010 consists of everything from lipsticks, Dazzleglass Creme, eyeshadow palettes, pigments, Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner, blush, nail lacquer to bags and even brushes! I still remember clearly lusting over the collections before and I guess this year won’t be any different.

Here’s what MAC had to say about their MAC A Tartan Tale Collection 2010:

Do you hear the bonny bagpipes on the moors, or Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols? One in each ear? We’re telling a slightly twisted Tartan Tale to celebrate holiday 2010, in all its posh, punk, ancestral, anarchic, noble and naughty glory. Royal and raunchy, colours and patterns collide, fantasies come true, punk faeries take flight, with poetic new looks for Eyes to gaze long upon Glamora Castle: Dazzleglass Creme like Radiant Jewels; Lipstick kisses from The Faerie Glen; Black Swan Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner; Family Crest Pigment; My Highland Honey from the heather in Powder Blush; Sexy Style Clan Nail Lacquer; and forever Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara, for the Dark Prince, or Princess. Enter A Tartan Tale, and be transformed!

MAC’s Holiday Collections are usually to die for limited products. The various face and eye kits are particularly lovely as they all come stocked with MAC’s best sellers.

In fact these tartan prints kinda remind me of Harry Potter and I LOVE Harry Potter. I definitely want to get my hands on these gorgeous babies. Hogwarts anyone?

So you’ve got the basic make up must haves in your make up kit and now what you really want to do is use them. But how are you going to go about it without basic make up brushes? Brushes for make up are the next most important things to have in your basic make up kit next to your basic make up essentials.

It wasnt till later in my experimentation with make up that I found make up brushes essential. They allow for greater precision and accuracy of your make up application, on top of giving your make up a more flawless and even finish. Although there are so many brushes out there, I’ve come to realise certain basic make up brushes are the essentials ones that everyone should own. These are the brushes that you must have and absolutely cannot do without because they help you achieve a flawless make up face.
