RealTechniques by Samantha Chapman Your Base/Flawless Core Collection

Many makeup products like foundation, blush, powder and eye shadow require good brushes in order to get a smooth and even finish. RealTechniques by Samantha Chapman Base/Flawless Core Collection is a good starting set if you don't know what brushes you need and where to get started.
It includes four brushes:

• a contour brush for cheekbones when using a bronzer or powder
• buffing brush for everything: spreading liquid foundation or to apply blush on the apples of your cheeks etc.
• pointed foundation brush for foundation and 
• detailer brush for eye shadow. 

The names are printed on the brushes so you'll know what to use them for and what brush does what.

I love the brushes because they are of good quality. The bristles are soft, they don't shed and they stay in their shape. They are easy to wash with mild Marseille soap and luke-warm water and letting them air dry. After that they are as good as new.

The brushes come in a nice black case so you can easily restore them and take them with you.

Blistex Medical Lip Ointment

Especially at winter times as the air gets drier and colder, dry and chapped lips can become a problem. I for one has suffered for dry lips and repeated cold sores for some time before I decided to find a good cure. Something that would heal my lips and make them soft. Blistex Medical Lip Ointment brought instant results for me and my lips. It has many effective ingredients:

• To soften & moisturize: beeswax, dimethicone, glycerin & lanolin
• To heal the inflammation and ease skin irritation: Allantoin, Camphor
• To cool:Camphor & Menthol
• To relieve pain: Phenol

In a less than a week my lips appear smooth and moist again and chapping has stopped! I am really happy with the product. I applied it only once a day it clean fingers but it was enough. It is a nice little tube with some french pharmacy cool vibe to it. The cream is not too greasy, it tingles first a bit but it goes over soon. Not messy at all. The smell is a bit unpleasant, like some medicine but it creates an image of an effective product.
