Lumiere Pre-Buy and Make your own eyeshadow
I finally decided on what to purchase for the Lumiere Pre-Buy. I bought only 1 brush, The larger flat top. I really wanted to jump in and buy the whole set, but I couldn’t justify spending that amount of money for brushes I didn’t absolutely need. Now that they put more pics up I’m thinking of adding the retractable kabuki to my order. Even though these are the softest brushed ever, I have to admit that I might prefer natural hair to synthetic. I find that I get better application with Natural hairs. My absolute favourite brush right now is probably my cheapest purchase, it’s my badger flat-top from coastal scents. Unfortunately I don’t think that they carry it anymore. My second favourite is my shadow blending brush from Coastal Scents, also my cheasest purchase at $1.99.
I finally broke down and ordered TKB’s pop-mica sampler kit and have been making eye-shadows like crazy. The new pop colours really allow you get great colors from mixing. If you are at all interested in making your own eye-shadows and blushes, TKB offers a great kit for the beginners, The Easy Eyeshadow Kit for $19. This kit is perfect for beginners, It includes enough product for at least 8 pots of eyeshadow, instructions and some of the tools you will need. If you like the idea of making your own makeup then I would suggest to just jump right it, it’s easier to do than you may think and very rewarding.
I have been making so much makeup lately that I ran out of jars pretty quickly, I did a bit of research and found that the best price for jars, for the hobbyist can be found on ebay. The cheapest prices I have found, so far, are with “Container and Sample Jars For You“. These jars are also great if you are into sampling before buying.
Lumiere’s pre-buy brush sale is back!
Oh boy, and what an incredible deal it is.
I am really excited to let everyone know that Lumiere is having another pre-buy cosmetic brush sale. You have the opportunity to buy these brushes before they are manufactured, and you get an incredible discount. This also means that you will be waiting much longer to receive your brush than if you were ordering from their current stock. But check out the prices you might be willing to wait for these amazing deals.
One standout of this sale is that you can purchase the Ultimate Professional Brush Collection for $149, that’s every brush offered in this pre-buy for a savings of $245. Please read the rules before ordering, as there are a few things different with ordering through the pre-buy as opposed to ordering from Lumiere’s current stock.
If you aren’t familiar with Lumiere’s cosmetic brushes, then you are missing out on what is arguably the best synthetic brushes you can buy (for the best price). Their kabuki brush is a favourite among mineral makeup addicts. I currently have the kabuki brush, it’s incredibly soft and keeps it’s shape after washing (no splaying of the hairs) and no shedding, I also have their 9pc set, also soft and great quality.
But I think that if you are looking to build up your makeup brush collection then this is the way to go, you can’t go wrong with these makeup brushes.
This pre-buy sale is on until October 31, 2007 and on a first-come first-serve basis.
note: please check with the companies themselves for details on all sales, deals and offers. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this post concerning these offers, so please double check before ordering.
