sonia kashuk

Do any of you use Sonia Kashuk products? I walked by them for years when shopping at Target (where they are exclusively sold) and didn't start taking notice and actually purchasing them until a few months ago...and I have to say, I am SO happy I did!

This line is really good - I have yet to dislike anything that I have purchased so far. The products are very high quality and come with a very good price tag...not quite as cheap as typical "drug store" makeup products, but definitely reasonable. AND this is a completely cruelty free line!

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite items so far...

// Shimmering Loose Mineral Bronzer - great for fair skinned girls, like me! Gives a beautiful glow without looking too heavy or "muddy" as many bronzers can. I brush this all over my face and neck, concentrating on the most product on the contour areas of the face.

// Perfecting Luminous Foundation - I've mentioned this so many times before, but it really is one of the best foundations I have ever used. I find it is applied best when you use a sponge, such as the beauty blender or Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge. My only gripe is the packaging...it is designed poorly, so there is always product left over that you can't get out - unless you are crazy like me and decide to smash the plastic open and scoop it out yourself. What can I say? I hate wasting product ;)

// Eye Makeup Remover - very gentle, no fragrance, and effective on even the toughest eye makeup and mascara! 

// Core Tools Synthetic Buffing Brush No. 130 - honestly, one of the best makeup brushes I have ever owned. It is dense, but soft and applies product very evenly. I use this with the loose bronzer powder mentioned earlier. I definitely want to get my hands on more of SK's brushes after using this one! 

// Longwear Eye Liner in Black Onyx - a great, all-around eyeliner for the waterline. It glides on smoothly and has good staying power throughout the day. 

I would definitely recommend picking up a couple Sonia Kashuk items the next time you are in Target. If you try anything and love it - let me know...I'm interested in trying many more items in her line! xx
