EcoTools BAMBOO 6 Mini Brushes Review

Eco Tools is a eco friendly product that is inexpensive. I had the opportunity to try out some ECO TOOLS products for the first time from The Makeup Mix shop.

How cute are these mini brushes?!?

The first thing I noticed was the soft bristles.

• The bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth’s resources as it is a highly sustainable plant. According to Wikipedia "Bamboos are also the fastest growing woody plants in the world". 

• The synthetic taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free. Synthetic brushes are perfect for wet products because the bristles don't cake together :)

• The sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminum.

Close up of the brush 

These brushes are smaller than the palm of your hand and made out of natural & recycled materials.

 It can be used on:

• Lips: To apply your favorite gloss or lipstick. (*Tip: They are small enough to get out lipstick from a tube that is almost finished)
• Face: To apply your concealer to your problem areas.
• Eyes: To apply cream shadows or eyeliner.
• Brows: To fill them in.

I would recommend these because they are small enough to fit in your make up bag. My favorite part about them is the fact that they can be washed and used over and over!

Ecotools can be found at your local drug store. If your Canadian they are sold at Zellers, Walmart & shoppers. Also check out The Makeup Mix shop for Eco Tools.

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. These brushes were sent to me by The Makeup Mix shop.

What is your favorite lip scrub?

Hey Girlies,

I just need some recommendations on lip scrubs. The weather keeps on changing so my lips are slightly peeling! What do you use on your lips? It doesn't matter if it's store bought or made at home.. any help would be great!

Thanks <3

Skin Care must have Biore deep cleansing pore strips!

I've been a Biore fan for the past 10 years!! I remember getting my first Biore deep cleansing pore strips in the mail along with Teen magazine :)

What do they do:

• The strips instantly pulls away oil and dirt build-up from your nose in just one use. 
• Removes pores of build-up and blackheads. 
• Helps reduce the appearance of pores with regular use.
• The strips comes in 8 or 14.

I know that the strips should be used once a week but I use them two - three times a month.

Get Biore strips here:

How to use:

1. Remove strip from pouch. 
2. Twist strip to loosen and separate slits prior to use. 
3. After washing your face, thoroughly wet your nose. (The strip won’t stick on a dry nose) 
4. Peel strip off plastic liner and apply to nose area, smooth side down, pressing down to ensure good contact with skin.  
5. Let dry for about 10-15 minutes until stiff to the touch—like papier-mâché.  Slowly and carefully peel off starting at edges, pulling toward centre.

The outcome:

I'm always so fascinated with the end..like I can't stop staring! LOL

You can find these at your local the drug store:)

 Since I was able to set the temperature myself straightening my whole head didn't take long at all.

The ceramic plates didn't pull my hair while I was straightening or curling. Actually it was easier to curl using Hana than my regular curler because of the Tangle-Free Salon Quality Cord. It swivels 360°!!!

The Hana Shine Shield was amazing! Suitable for every hair type. ShineShield is a thermal serum that can be used as a leave-in conditioner - lightweight and never greasy, it protects and strengthens hair whether you use it with a flat iron, hair dryer or alone.
