Glam and Style Chopstick Styler Review

Hey beaut's!

My hair is naturally long, thick and super straight so I always like to add some sort of texture to it when I have the time, whether it be big curls, soft beachy waves or a messy tousled look however I've never dabbled into the realm of the chopstick curler, mainly because I always thought my hair would go so 80's and poodle'esk LOL! However recently I've been giving the Glam and Style Chopstick Styler* a whirl and have be so impressed with the result's, not only is it super quick to use but the curls it creates are so pretty and really last!

The Glam and Style Chopstick Styler has the most beautiful rose gold and black design and has a thin 10mm barrel perfect for creating chopstick waves. I must admit I have always thought a chopstick curler would only create super tight ringlet spiral curls but I was so wrong, of course it does create the tight ringlet style really well when you take very small sections of hair but it also creates large soft curls and incredible big beach waves too, to achieve this you need to take larger more random sections of hair which is what I do and I really don't hold my hair on the barrel for long, I'm talking a mere 3-4 seconds and voila! Something else that impressed me was how long these curls stayed in for, I got 3 days wear out of mine, even after sleeping on the curls they look pretty much perfect and oddly they didn't drop on me either, I did need to use a little smoothing cream to sort the fly aways on days 2-3 but I do this with any curly style I do!

The styler itself is super easy to use, it's surprisingly lightweight, heats to 200c in seconds, has a cool tip at the end of the barrel to protect burning your fingers and scalp, one easy on-off switch so theres no faffing with unnecessary buttons, it has a swivel cord so it bends and moves any way you want it and a safety stand which makes it safe to sit down while the barrel is hot.

Overall I'm so impressed with these curlers, I took the picture above on Instagram and I mean just look at those curls, I love it! You can literally go from 80's throwback to poodle to beachy babe and even super glam with these, it's definitely opened my eyes up to the chopstick curler that's for sure. I'm still amazed how quick this curler was to use and how long my curls lasted for too, it's fab! 

You can find the Glam and Style Chopstick Styler on Amazon for £24.99 plus free UK shipping HERE.

 

Nanshy Luxury Brush Set | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

A good make up brush is key in my everyday make up routine as the quality of the make up brushes really does makes a difference in your make ups finished look, so say hello to Nanshy!!!

Nanshy are a make up brush and accessories brand that I got introduced to a while back and ever since I've been addicted to their great quality brushes!!! The Nanshy Luxury Makeup Brush Set features all the best make up brushes you'll need for creating a polished, complete, natural look!!! No matter your level of artistry, the gorgeous luxury brush set will make an immense difference in your make up application leaving you with a flawless finish. A great thing to also take note of is that all of the Nanshy brushes including this 13 piece brush set are synthetic, cruelty free, 100% vegan and have antibacterial bristles, which I think is great and makes all the difference!!!

As I said the Luxury Brush Set contains 13 brushes including a Liner Brush, Small Shadow Brush, Crease Brush, Shadow Brush, Fluffy Shadow Blending Brush, Concealer Brush, Eyelash/Eyebrow Spoolie, Angled Brow Brush, Angled Shadow Brush, Angled Blush Brush, Foundation Brush, Powder Brush and a Powder/Foundation Brush. The kit also comes with a gorgeous elegant brush bag to keep your brushes organised and safe from damage, the brush bag is also great for travelling as it's as small as a clutch bag so it wont bulk out your luggage or your handbag if you choose to take your brushes with you on the go.

 The one thing I literally cant get over when it comes to these brushes is how soft and dense each brush is, I've literally never felt make up brushes that are so soft in all my life. Because of the Nanshy brushes softness they feel amazing to work with and aren't rough or harsh on the skin at all. The brush design is also so unique, with each brush having a some what sculpted handle which enables you to have a great grip for a more comfortable application.

As for how the brushes wash up... There was no shedding what so ever, although I do take caution when washing my brushes, if you are quite rough I would assume you may lose the odd bristle or two but then again that would be the case for any brush, the brush bristles also go back to their bright white 'new' looking state after their washed.  

Overall I think Nanshy have triumphed with their Luxury Brush Set, they are definitely gorgeous brushes that I think look alot more expensive than they actually are and they feel so luxurious too, its definitely a brush set that most of us make up obsessed girlie's need in our lives!!! 

You can buy the Nanshy Luxury Brush Set from Amazon and beautystore4u  for £29.95, what a bargain for 13 great quality brushes and a brush bag!!!

Have you tried any Nanshy brushes before??? I'd love to know what your favourite brush by Nanshy is!!!
