BH Cosmetics "Pop Art Brush Set" Review

I bought the BH Cosmetics Pop Art 10 Piece Brush Set because it was on super sale and I really needed new eyeshadow brushes. The set was on sale for $11.95 plus shipping. So of course I got them to try out. When the set arrived I was really excited. They're soft and they have great reviews and let's be honest, they're really pretty. In my opinion though I'm not 100% pleased with the full set. So I'm giving my review on each brush instead of the set as a whole.

1.) Powder Brush- I really liked this brush. It's dense and soft and picks up product well. It spreads evenly and it's an all around great brush for powder foundation or loose setting powder.
2.) Angled Powder/Blush Brush- I use this brush for my bronzer and honestly I didn't like this one. It did pick up the product like I needed it too and I found myself having to go back over my bronzer with my old brush. 
3.) Foundation Brush- I didn't like this one either. It's a soft brush but also kind of stiff. I feel like it didn't blend as well as my old EcoTools foundation brush.
4.) Complexion Blending Brush- I used this one to blend in the foundation that my "Foundation Brush" didn't blend. I really like this brush. It did a great job blending, especially around the nose area, which for me is important. 
5.) Flat Complexion Brush- I used this brush for concealer and honestly the brush was ok but there wasn't anything special about it. 
6.) Tapered Eyeshadow Brush- I used this brush to apply my eyeshadow in the crease and also as an all over lid brush and it did an amazing job. It picked up the product just enough and blended it without me having to swipe back and forth a million times. 
7.) Fluffy Angled Eyeshadow Brush- I attempted to use this one for my crease and it did a good job at applying it to the crease but it didn't blend it out like I needed it too. I ended up using it to put on my highlight shadow and it worked well for that.
8.) Angled Liner/Brow Brush- I used this brush to apply my gel liner and it did an ok job. Once again, nothing fancy or special about it. 
9.) Lip Brush- Not going to lie... I don't use these at all.
10.) Spooley Brush- Does what it's supposed to... nothing fancy about this one either.

As a set this is perfect for a beginner or side brush set or maybe for just extra pieces to a set. All in all I like it but some of the brushes just aren't my favorite.

Hair Products

Time for another PRODUCT REVIEW!! Okay, well maybe 2 or 3 products. Who's counting. Anyway, new product's. I decided to change up my shampoo and conditioner (again) and I went with Regis Design Line Cashmere Kera-Forte Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner. The shampoo seemed a bit watery to me and I had to use a little more than usual. But I LOVED the feeling after it was lathered. It smelled different. Not fruity or sweet but kind of weird. I liked it but most probably won't. The conditioner made my hair super soft even just after putting it on. I always leave the conditioner in while I shave and wash just to let in sink in but I feel like you don't really have to with this stuff.
So for Shampoo and Conditioner for dry or frizzy hair, I recommend it for sure!

After I get out I always put in some leave in stuff. I just started using 3 very different products that I am absolutely amazed with. The first thing I do is comb through my hair. ALWAYS. That way I feel like when I put the product in I'm getting every strand. So after that I used CHI Silk Infusion then I sprayed in Regis Design Line Olive Oil Evoo Lite Leave-In Conditioner and finished off with Infusium 23 Miracle Therapy Leave-In Treatment.
Oh. My. God. people. I could not believe how amazing this mixture made my hair. It wasn't frizzy at all. It had my regular waves but they weren't crazy. My hair felt moisturized and super soft. I am in love with this combination! I am definitely going to keep using these together.
