And here is the last item that joins the Companion And here is the last item that joins the Companion Case Collection, the Brush Envelope! ✉️🖌️🖌️🖌️

I have always been researching small pouches for brushes but they often look the same. I wanted to design something different, functional but with a special design, hopefully something that would remind us of the Japanese culture.

The outcome is an origami inspired Envelope, with a capacity for 5 or 6 brushes depending on the handles and the size of the brushes.

One of the biggest concerns that I encountered since I am obsessed with brushes, is to find pouches that can keep all the items secured inside. If they don’t close properly, if there is a little gap, the tiny guys escape...💫

The other thing that bothers me quite often is when the flaps are attached next to the heads of the brushes. It can put pressure on the brush heads and can damage some bristles in the process. This Envelope has a removable flap that comes out from the side -not the top. You can store it in the back pocket when you don’t use it, and when you need to use it just take it out, unfold it, keep one side of the flap in the pocket and the other side over the brushes.

The Brush Envelope is 20 cm x 8 cm, the flaps that keep the brushes secured inside the envelope, close on the outside with velcro.

Just like the other items in the Companion Case Collection, it comes with its own little dustbag for protection, you can use it with anything else you have in mind. I just aim to reduce waste and packaging when it’s possible.

This nylon Brush Envelope will be available on Beautylish in a few days, it will cost $75.

I hope this sounds interesting and fun and I thank you so so much for taking the time to read the posts, for your continuous incredible support and encouraging me day after day!

If you have any questions, there are posts on my blog sweetmakeuptemptations and I will be answering your questions over the weekend so you can have enough info before their launch! Thank you!!! 🤗💗💗💗💗💗

Here is the Double Decker Case ✨ I love the ide Here is the Double Decker Case ✨
I love the idea of a double deck type of storage, I always did, maybe it’s because it reminds me of school days and pencil cases! 😅

One deck is for brushes and another deck is for make-up. There is enough room for make-up essentials, but compared to the Essentials Vertical Pouch, it emphasizes more on the brush storage, especially for those of us who love brushes just as much as make-up or maybe even more!! 🤗🤗🤗

This Case is 22 cm high and 12 cm large. It has two separated zipped compartments of 5cm thickness each.

The flaps that protect the brushes are a bit different from the ones on the Soft Brush Book: the side of the flap that touches the brushes is reinforced plastic so we can clean it easily. The outside of the flap has the custom black lining and zips to secure miscellaneous items inside (like cotton swabs, make-up remover pads or wipes, etc).

With the Companion Case Collection, it’s about space optimization and features that add functionality and interest to our storage. Packing our make-up and brushes is a step that we all should look forward to and enjoy! 🎉

This Double Decker Case will cost 180$ and will be available soon on Beautylish! 

There is a detailed post on my blog sweetmakeuptemptations should you be interested to know more about this design and it's capacity! 

I hope you will have a wonderful weekend! Have some fun and some rest! 🤗🤗🤗

With love 💗💗💗

This is the Soft Brush Book! I always need -and L This is the Soft Brush Book! 
I always need -and LOVE- to carry a good amount of brushes with me. Since they are often rare, expensive or confidential, they always need to be with me, in my hand luggage! 🧳👜

I wanted to find a solution that was roomy but not bulky. Lightweight too because the brushes are already heavy enough. Another issue I encountered in the past is that smaller brushes tend to fall out of some brush rolls, I would find some brushes swimming at the bottom of my travel handbag at the end of the trip. So, that’s what I wanted to achieve: a secure, lightweight, compact, roomy, non-bulky case for the brushes.🤗

It’s 24.5 cm high and 12 cm large. It’s “soft” because it’s not a hard shell, it still has padding but it remains flexible.

It’s configured a bit like a book, with one double sided page in the center and two full size flaps, one on each side, they have zips so we can get some functionality out of them! 

Both sides have stacked compartments for brushes, this is not necessarily to load as many brushes as there are compartments, but to allow a scattered organization that fits the shape of the brushes that you want to carry. It gives more options to organize the brushes and I guess we all love options when it comes to organizing our beauties!

This Soft Brush Case will be available on Beautylish soon, it will cost $160. I really hope you love it!!! 🙏🙏🙏

When a small make-up pouch is not big enough and a When a small make-up pouch is not big enough and a big pouch is too bulky, here is the Essentials Vertical Pouch! A medium size, compact make-up pouch that allows very quick visual access to our favorite items. 👀⚡

The vertical storage is very convenient, we can very quickly find what we need. The pouch opens wide enough and the items in the center won't fall out thanks to the side flaps. It's a "quiet" way to access our items without having to dig and search for them. I have been in situations in the past where while searching for something, something else falls out and rolls into oblivion... ✨🕳️✨ I wanted a solution to avoid this! 

The pouch dimensions are 23 cm wide and 15 cm high, it's a bit less wide at the top (22 cm).  

It has 12 vertical elastic compartments on one side. On the other side there is one big zipped compartment, plus 3 additional brush or pencil horizontal compartments. 

 

With regards to the amount of items that we can carry in this pouch, it carries enough for a complete make-up application. It's going to be a mix of full size and mini size items, the organization and capacity depends on the variety of items that we love to carry with us. 

This is the Companion pouch that I love to take on weekends, long flights, sleepovers, or to the office to get ready if there is an event after work for example. I know it's not the best of times for events right now but better days and also summer days are ahead of us! Speaking of work, I love a design that doesn't look too much like a toiletry bag, that I could leave on my office desk, or walk with it anywhere without looking like I am going to the bathroom... I just loved the idea of something more subtle, compact and functional. 🤗

This Essentials Vertical Pouch costs 120usd and will be available in a few days on Beautylish! 🎉🎉🎉

When I am on a trip, at the hotel or staying with When I am on a trip, at the hotel or staying with my parent's or friends for a few days, I love to empty my brush case and display the brushes, I will grab anything that I find, a glass or a recipient. It's better for the brushes because they don't remain squeezed in a pouch for long periods of time. It's also much more practical to get ready as we can more easily grab what we need ⚡⚡⚡

This was the main idea and purpose of this nylon Portable Organizer, to have somewhere to store brushes or make-up daily or when on the move, a storage that we can fold and flatten for transport and that we can customize depending on what we want to store or display. 

There is a velcro tape on the sides that hold the two separators. The separators can be moved or removed and we can play with the width of each compartment. 

This was one of the most exciting projects because the need for it was real! I love the functionality, how lightweight it feels but it's still so sturdy and stable. This is a fantastic basic item that we can enjoy wherever we are.   

It will launch soon on Beautylish, the price is 85usd, there are more details on my blog sweetmakeuptemptations. 

The Companion Case Collection is a set of 5 items - sold separately - for our essentials and for our very loved make-up brushes! 🥰🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️

When I first saw the Hermes satiné Beige Ebloui o When I first saw the Hermes satiné Beige Ebloui on Amra @amrasbeautyblog 💓 it just looked like my go to shade! It is! 🤗 it's very close to the Beige Kalahari but a bit more vibrant, a hint more of coral or red in it. ✨✨✨

It's a satin, so I don't necessarily need a lot more shine in there but it pairs perfectly with the Wayne Goss Cherry Blossom gloss and I love both together!

This Beige Ebloui is a Limited Edition shade and even though the lipstick case is refillable, they won't provide replacements for this lipstick shade. 😢

The first lipsticks I bought from Hermes were Beige Kalahari and Beige Tadelakt, I couldn't swatch the lipsticks on my arm at the boutique, they swatched them for me on a thick white piece of paper 😂 but then they gave me two samples and I could wear them at home for a few days before I decided to purchase 👍

Do you like the packaging? My 4 year old daughter was with me when I took the pictures and she said she loved the "shiny gold buttons" 😂😸

Before I started my blog sweetmakeuptemptations, I Before I started my blog sweetmakeuptemptations, I was following amazing people who sincerely inspired me, there was Wayne of course @gossmakeupartist , Dustin Hunter @thedustinhunter, Enkore @enkoremakeup and there was mighty Brian @thespnation2 !!! I loved watching his videos so much!  🥰❤️

That was a while ago! Brian @thespnation2 stopped Youtube and came back in 2016. I reconnected with him after I saw him on Behind the Beauty, I sent him a message and I could not believe I was talking to him for real!! 🤗🤗🤗

Last December he had very serious health issues and he required a lot of hospital care. I am so happy and relieved he is getting better and he was just recently transferred to a rehabilitation facility. I am sure that Brian will appreciate all the support we can give him with our messages, or follows, or even if you can, in his Insta bio he has a link to his GoFundMe to raise some funds to help with his huge rehabilitation fees 🙏

I love Brian very much, he brought a lot of joy into my life back in the days and he has no idea how big of an impact he had on many of us. 

Brian, stay strong!!! I cannot wait to meet you in person!! Sending you lots of love and my very best wishes for a speedy recovery!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wayne Goss just launched his Radiance Boosting Fa Wayne Goss just launched his Radiance Boosting Face palettes, they are available now on Beautylish! These are powder duos contour/bronzing shades. 

Here are some swatches as I just received them and could not wait to see what they looked like! 

I love them all, the Light Gold palette with that grey Light Taupe shade is exactly what I need on a daily basis!! Stunning contour shade! 

I use bronzer every single day, I can make all of these work on me (NW25), adjusting with the brushes to sheer or build up the product, the Light Gold is going to be my go-to, then the Satin Bronze will take over when I want a more bronzed look. 

The darker Deep Copper will require more care with regards to how and where I apply it on myself but I had bronzers similar to these and they do work on my skintone as long as I apply them with a very light hand and a very feathery brush.

I only played with these for a few minutes but the swatches didn't go anywhere, they stayed put when I rubbed them, they remained uniform and the radiance shades kept their radiance ✨✨✨

Some pans are more powdery than others, on the skin they apply and blend effortlessly, I can't wait to use these and report back! 🤗🎉

The restock is still stuck in transit 😢 apparen The restock is still stuck in transit 😢 apparently big delays are impacting our delivery. I am really sorry and sad that this upcoming restock will not be able to make it on time. 

Some of you asked me or commented that my Classic Face brush from the Keyaki set was like the Suqqu cheek, yes, if the Suqqu cheek brush was made out of natural goat bristles, this is what it would look like most probably. 
I was designing a similar kind of brush and it turned out to be just right, airy yet more decisive with picking up product and blending, it's really a dream come true! I took some pictures with the Suqqu so you can see the airiness of both side by side 🤗

Thank you also for your great feedback regarding the Mini Base! This is the mix that I found the ultimate blend for creams, took years to get to these exact results so I was relieved and really happy that you love it, it was worth the research! it's a mix of goat and two types of synthetic fibers, the natural fibers prevent all the bristles from sticking together, the synthetics help with less absorption and gliding effortlessly 💪

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! it's a beautiful day here, warm and sunny !! 🤗🤗🤗

Sending you sunny positive vibes from Switzerland! 

With love 💓

This Chanel Boy Reverso is edgy, sturdy, I love it This Chanel Boy Reverso is edgy, sturdy, I love it and the quality is really good, it's now 8 years old I believe and it just looks great! ✨✨✨ Unfortunately, it doesn't have a zipped compartment inside to keep the smaller items secure and there is also a substantial gap between the flap and the body so I did lose a couple of nice items when using it...😢

The Gucci Lady Web shoulder bag is also a bag I enjoy so much, not sure when this bag was first introduced, this color is stunning but, inside there are no pockets or compartments, nothing, and it doesn't even close in a secure way! 

The beige clutch is a gift from my friend Bonnie, thank you @bonnie, I used it a few times when we could go out and party, but I prefer to use a mini pouch inside to protect the interior of the clutch. It's a light color and the little make-up items that I carry will potentially stain it. 

Just some reasons why I love to use a little pouch inside of them!! 🤗🤗🤗

The cute Houndstooth Mini Zipped Pouch was designed to be big enough for sunglasses for example or pens but small enough and flexible so that it could fit easily in handbags, especially those we wish were more secure!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! It's very sunny here and getting warm, I am going to take my daughter for a run so that she can use some of her insane energy!! 😅😅😅

Take care and stay safe!!❤️❤️❤️

Hi!! 🤗🤗🤗 I wanted to feature the Koyudo Hi!! 🤗🤗🤗

I wanted to feature the Koyudo KSZ-02 (Kakishibuzome) because after talking to Koyudo yesterday, I confirm that it is saikoho goat bristles that they used for this brush (and not sokoho) 😊 

Thank you to Kia for telling me that the material was listed saikoho or sokoho depending on the website. 🙏

The Koyudo KSZ that I own is soft but did not feel as soft to me as my old Hakuhodo S J104 or the Koyudo BP006, but just like these two big fluffy brushes, it is also saikoho - which is great news in case you had these beautiful series in your radar 🎉 

We know that saikoho quality is rare to obtain these days, the quality may even decrease or the price may increase considerably for the manufacturers that still have it. 

Hakuhodo doesn't list their "goat" brushes as saikoho anymore but their sokoho is still of excellent quality, so they are still excellent brushes. Today when you purchase a Fude on their website you won't exactly know what type or softness you are getting and since they probably work with mixes, and bristles are natural, it's even more tricky to know. 

Some manufacturers even stopped categorising the grades of bristles because it's going to be difficult to keep up with demand in the near future and have a pure saikoho brush... 

Then, the dye of the bristles, the density, the shape, is going to have an influence on the feeling of softness of the brush and, bottom line, every Fude is unique 

Shown in the pictures:

Koyudo ZSZ-02, saikoho goat 50mm bristle length, density 8/10, softness 7/10, price 100$

Hakuhodo S J104, "goat", 50mm bristle length, density 7/10, softness 8/10, price 143$

Chikuhodo G-9, gray squirrel, 55 mm bristle length, density 8/10, softness 10/10, price 155$

Chikuhodo BP006, saikoho goat, 55mm bristle length, density 6.5/10, softness 9/10, price 85$

Sue Uemura 18R, goat, 50mm bristle length, density 7/10, softness 5/10, price n/a

Do you remember these 🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️ Do you remember these 🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️ .... 

I remember when the Paula Dorf Sheer Crease brush was the unicorn ... the Mac 226 was quite a rare brush, the Mac 116 was the perfect blush brush, the Mac 134 was my go to for bronzer... It's quite funny to inspect the made in France, China or Japan and see if or how the quality compares! I don't know how many Mac brushes I own but I recall trying to find every single one that I was missing. That included fun ones like the Mac 179 or 185 🤩🤩

I always loved fan brushes but I couldn't find any that was giving me enough control with the application, I was desperate to find a fan with a substantial body and lots of potential! 😁

I usually loved brushes that made the application super fast and easy, with time most became too rough to use so I decided to find softer alternatives and that's what took me straight to Kumano. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Today I still have all my old beloved brushes from so many different brands! This is just a tiny selection from Chanel, Mac, Make up Forever, Trish McEvoy, Louise Young, Sue Devitt, Rouge Bunny Rouge, Nars, Le Métier de Beauté, Rock and Republic, Sonia Rykiel, Daniel Sandler, BillyB, Laura Mercier, Bare Escentuals, Bobbi Brown, oh.... the Powder brush from Bobbi Brown was my very first very expensive brush that I still love and cherish!  What a brush!!

So many memories related to the very first brushes! 

All these brushes inspired me to create my designs so I do intend to keep them forever even if some fall apart! 🤗🤗🤗

It can even wipe away my evening laziness! 😂 It motivates me to do some skin care even when I am extremely tired and super tempted to skip it!  I know that in the morning my skin will thank me!!!🤗

I can't wait to travel again and try more of their products! I always use the same ones but they have quite a range! I am specially interested in their creams now since my go to - that is like a miracle for me - is discontinued and my stock is going down 😢

I alternate skin care but these are my precious and I hope they do not discontinue them!!! 🙏. When I saw that the Treatment Cleansing Oil changed packaging I admit freaked out a bit! 😱😱😱
