Delights and disappointments

Hi everyone! I thought I would do a post on just a few little things that I've bought recently. Two of them I loved, two if them not so much, unfortunately!
The 2 things that I've been loving and using every single day are my 2 new MAC brushes. The 130 and the 129sh (short handle). Have you ever bought a product or brush and then can't remember how you done your makeup before without it? That's how I feel about these brushes. The 130 brush is a Short Duo Fiber Brush, which means you can use it for powder, liquid and creams. I think almost everyone uses this brush for a different reason or multiple but i use this brush mostly for my foundation. It does take a little bit longer than it would to use a kabuki brush or your fingers but it gives me the most amazing coverage! This brush is super duper soft but dense for perfect flawless application! I would sometimes use the 130 for cream blush or liquid/ cream highlighting products also. The second of my delights is the MAC 129 Short Handle brush. 
First of all, i love the size of this brush, it is so handy to pop in my handbag or a clutch on a night out, hurr-ay! The second thing i love about this brush is how soft it is on the face it actually feels like a feather ( slight exaggeration), the fibers form a rounded shape so its perfect for blush! Sometimes, if im feeling mental i use it for my contour because its so full that it blends brilliantly! I love nothing more than a good blended contour! 

Now my disappointments :(.
I feel very sad saying this because i have heard soooooo many people rave about this little boyo! Its the beauty blender, i know, everyone's going to be disgusted. I just felt like when i was putting my foundation on, the blender was taking it back off again. It didn't give me good coverage and i felt a bit awkward using it. I REALLY want to like this! I don't know, maybe its because I've broke out and want lots of coverage OR maybe i give it a little more time it could perhaps soften up a bit?  Let me know your thoughts! 

Number two of my disappointments is the Barry M Dazzle Dusts. I have tried a few of these and i liked the others a lot more than the most recent one i bought which is number 15. I adore the colours of these dusts but there was just TOO much fall out! I couldn't deal with the fall out, every time i cleaned under my eye, some more fell off. * Insert breakdown* It was driving me crazy. It was such a gorgeous colour and i was so disappointed. I think im going to stick to the MAC pigments from now on, unless anyone knows of any other good loose pigments?! I love the MAC ones just because i feel like there a bit thicker than the Dazzle Dusts and stay on a lot longer on the eye.
