Moden Makeup

I've been collecting brushes steadily from late 2012. While periodically I've place a few of them in The Marketplace, I've never gone through the entire collection and sifted through what I don't use often.

Until recently.


Something automatically weren't going anywhere...


I'm a big fan of the Wayne Goss eye brushes and from de time I knew I could get Chikuhodo brushes customized on Visage de dog dead.

When it came to the M.A.C brushes I had to make some relatively tough calls; often we feel we have to hold onto things due to how much they cost but I'm over that now.

M.A.C Brushes
So how did I do?


Not as well as I'd thought...but it's a start. I made up my mind to destash a lot of eye brushes since falling in love with the Wayne Goss ones. They feel great on my eyelids; so great that many other brushes now feel incredibly scratchy. You'll see a couple Zoeva brushes here from the Rose Gold set that I re…

Our 500th post. 500. Jesus.

What better way to commemorate that than with our favourite type of post. Well second favourite, cause comparisons are near and dear to my heart.

Haul time baby.

That's a combination of the Friends & Family and two VIB Rouge trips. I got a few things off the wish list...and then a few more. But I did leave off some. I did!

The only thing that had a rough ride was the Ardency Inn pressed pigment.


Sharalee says I should just repress it. She's pretending that she doesn't know that I'm too lazy for that.


Anyho, I hope y'all have a great week. Let us know what you've hauled recently in the comments.

I love when stars align.

Months ago Kirsten did a video with this title and I was instantly inspired.


The next month, with no prompting from me, Heidi wrote a post about the REN Clean Skincare Clarimatte Invisible Pores Detox Mask sample that I'd given to her. Gotta be fate. Only recently, I rehashed my appreciation for stores like Pure Source Barbados that understand that samples: a) endear customers to you as an arm of good customer service and b) actually help people make better purchasing decisions. I can count on one hand the amount of samples I have received from Cave Shepherd. When I asked about them I was told they're mostly given to the Airport branch but I also suspect that some staff keep them for themselves and their inner circle. That's not to say that I don't agree with them giving their friends things but uuuhhh please save some for people like me who spends thousands in there every year. 

Anyho...rant done. Here's what I purchased after receiving a …

Pure Source Barbados recently hosted a Tata Harper Meet and Greet with their regional trainer for the East Coast and Canada, Dana Isernio. Customers were invited to receive mini facials as well as find out more about Tata Harper Skincare.


Dana is very knowledgeable about the brand and was able to recommend different products to each customer based on their specific skin concerns. It is evident that she believes in the Company and she even stated that she was a faithful customer before she took the job.


Tata Harper Skincare is a luxury green beauty line with luxe packaging. Many of her products are raved about by skincare expert Caroline Hirons, whom you know I reference often. Right away I asked Dana about the use of certain essential oils in their products and the propensity for them to cause skin irritation and/or photosensitivity. She assured me that their chemists use the extracts in the right form (mostly the vapours) and amount to only be beneficial to their customers. I was eve…
