Monave sent me 9 amazing products out for review.
First impressions
The package came in a flat box and was packed with a brown paper to stop the products from rolling around in the box. The products were placed in a zipper bag to keep them all together.
The delivery of this product took from the 23/2/2011 till the 01/03/11 which is exactally 1 week. Providing that the package came all the way from Baltimore thats some seriously fast shipping!
I took a quick peek at their youtube...this video and i was shocked to see when the woman was mixing the ingredients together that she wan NOT wearing gloves.
Blush Brush
The blush brush came in a plastic package to stop the bristles and the handle getting damaged. Also the plactic package would help for the brust to be hung up in stores.
The brush weights 15 grams and has a plastic handle, Metal ferrel and light golden synthetic bristles.
The brush is great for fitting in your makeup bag or handbag and is a great collection to anyones brush collection. The bristles are super soft and dont scratch. There were a few stray bristles and a few fall outs but i just slightly cut the stray bristles so they were all back in line with the rest. This is a great brush for if you have very sensitive skin like me and can only use super soft brushes.
The brush retails for $15 which is an excellent price for this product.

Angled Liner Brush
This brush also came in a plastic package to keep the bristles and the brust safe from getting damaged. The brush weights 4 grams and also has a plastic handle with a metal ferrel. The bristles are of an orange colour.
There were no stray bristles on this brush.This brust will also fit perfectally in your makeup bag or purse and is also a great collection to your brush sets.
$7.50 is a great price for this brush.

Liquid Matte Foundation-Tan Girl and Claire
This foundation comes in a glass tub with a black lid.
This foundation gives excellent corerage and they are also vegan. It has a very nice parfume smell to them aswell. This actually made me break out so bad so i had to stop using it. Im not saying that this makes everyone break out because iv seen reviews on it on other people blogs etc and they havent broken out. I guess ill just stick to my normal foundation. I didnt like the texture on my skin either. I felt like my skin was going to crack and everytime i moved my lips i could see lines on my face from my experessions. Maby i put too much on. I should have really added a tiny bit of moisturiser but due to the breakouts i decided not to use it.
Thier foundations come in a large range of shades for different skin colours.
The tan girl shade is great if you want your skin to look nicely tanned so ill use this in the summer time.
You can get them in either full size which is 7g for $8.50 and they also do a 1/2oz pot for $32.
I think this is a great price for thease excellent colours.
I think i may have needed a slightly lighter shade for my skin tho.

Tan Girl Matte Foundation
Blush- Mystic Rose #216
The bluch came in a clear tub with a clear lid. The blush adds a really cute glisten to your cheeks. Its a really girly rose pink colour and looks great. It has very tiny silver sparkles in it which makes your cheeks glow. You can get this blush in full size for $13.50 and also in a sample baggie for just $1.

Cream to powder for eyes and eyebrows-Black
This cream to powder comes in a plactic tub with a clear lid. The lid had actually came off this product and the cream was exposed and therefore there was moisture on the top of the cream so i had to sanitize it before doing this review. You have to really tighten the lid on this products else the lid comes loose and comes off. Im not sure if this will happen to any of the other cream to powders or if this is just a dodgey lid.
You really have to work this product to get enought to make the creams colour come out properly.
Again this is great for if you have sensitive skin/eyes as it does not irrotate in any way.

Versatile Mineral Powder- White Sparkle #61, Nuteral Lips #54 and Soft Brown #43
Thease versatile powders have many different uses. They can be used to give sparkle to the face or body. Be used together with clear lipgloss to add colour to the lips or even as eyeshaddows.
The white sparkle powder is great if you want a really nice sparkle to your body. Add to your shoulders at night and you will sparkle underneath the stars.
You can buy thease powders in either full pots which cost $7.50 or in sample baggies which are just $1.
The Neautral lips powder is on sale at the moment and costs $5 which is a great price.
Thease powders are great for the price you pay.
The link for thease products are:White Sparkles #61
Neutral Lips #54
Soft Brown #43
My final thoughts about this company.
I feel that this company has some really good products. Their cosmetics and brushes are great for people who have very sensitive skin.
When i looked at one of their youtube videos and saw that the woman in the video was not wearing gloves when mixing some ingredients together this really shocked me because i know that this is against health and safety. I hope the company wears gloves any other time and this was just a one off for the video they did.
I think the comsetics and brushes i reviewed were great value for money and i would deffinatly reccomend them. The company responds in a very professional mannor and although they get swamped with emails everyday, they do try their hardest to get all emails replied to as soon as they possibly can.
