New Ecotools Brushes & another Mother's Day Gift

If you haven't noticed from my Beauty Products blog, I LOVE Ecotools makeup brushes =D I think after I bought my 1st set of them, that's when I decided to start doing my makeup more seriously or should I say more professionally, LOL. Anyway one of the items on my list for Future Additions to my Makeup Collection was an Angled Brush & the reason I chose an ELF brush in the list was b/c I didn't know Ecotools had an Angled brush. They didn't put this set on their website so the only way I actually found out about it was from THIS blog & I'm SO glad I found out about this set before I bought the ELF one.

I found out that the only store in my area that had the new Everyday Collection by Ecotools was Walmart & it said on their website that there was a limited supply in my area =( So I rushed there today crossing my fingers & they had 2 packs left =D The 1st one someone obviously opened & messed with, so I got the better looking one that just had a scratch on it, there are some childish ppl where I live, smh.

Even though I just needed an Angled Brush, this set came with: Angled brush, Eye Shading brush, Angled Eyeliner brush, Concealer brush, Detailer brush & a Case to carry all the brushes in. I can't WAIT to use the Angled + Eye Shading brushes, I think they're my 2 faves of this set by Ecotools =)

I think someone in the store also messed with these brushes b/c the bristles were a little smooshed on the side of the Angled brush & the Eye Shading brush had 3 bent bristles, but the best thing about this brand of brushes is that they look Brand New after you wash them so I'm gonna do that + trim off the bent bristles. If there were more than just 3 bent then I'd be pissed, but I'm just happy I got my hands on this set =D

NOW for the 2nd Mother's Day gift I got my mom, in my other blog I told ya'll how I ordered her an ELF 100 eyeshadow palette & it was buy 1 get 1 Free for Mother's Day, right. Well it turns out that I just got ONE eyeshadow palette in the mail b/c the ppl at ELF said to get 1 Free I had to act like I was buying 2 makeup palettes in my order for me to actually get the 2nd one for free & I thought that it would do that automatically with the code. But since I didn't do that, I just got 15% off my order with the code =P It's all good though b/c the BH Cosmetics eyeshadow palette my boyfriend ordered me is gonna be 100 times better than that, so in your face ELF >=D

Back to the 2nd Mother's Day gift, YES if you were thinking it I got my mom some Ecotools makeup brushes =) She always just uses the brush that comes with the makeup she buys & as we all should know they're pretty crappy most of the time. So I went ahead & bought her the Bamboo 6 piece brush set b/c it was my 1st set I bought from them & it's great to start out with 1st when you're a beginner.

The only thing I'm worried about is her not WASHING them b/c if you look inside her makeup drawer her cheap brushes that she uses everyday have SO much buildup on them, that you'd think they'd belong to a little kid & that it was just their play brushes that they use on their barbie dolls or something *Yuck* Maybe since these are some good quality brushes she'll take care of them & not waste my money, LOL. They encouraged me to get more serious about makeup, so maybe it'll do the same for her, you never know.

I think my mom is gonna be super happy with my gifts for her this year, lets just hope she doesn't try to steal my BH Cosmetics palette when it gets here too ;P
