Trapped in Snow

There was a huge blizzard winter storm and luckily enough I stayed home for few days just to rest up.  I have no particular plans for the New Year and since I'm snowed in it's hard to manage to find activities to do.  Anyway I want to wish you all have a Happy and Safe New Year and may your New Year be memorable that fills with love & happiness.

Sigmax Review Part II

I took the opportunity to wash these brushes and tested them out. I'm really impressed after my first washing the brushes still remains and there were no shedding at all during the washing process.

Sigma F82
Next day I used the Sigma F82 and used with my Dior Foundation with 2 pumps I got a good coverage on my face by using a circular motion on my face. I also continued using the same brush again for concealing my unwanted blemishes and dark circles.   I really enjoy using these brushes, they are simply very soft when it runs through my face without any irritation at all.  Also I like how these brushes can be multiple functions at the same time, instead of picking up individual brushes.  These brushes can be a time saver when you are rushing out of the house. 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Due to lack of updates and since the holiday is coming so soon, I have been extremely busy.  In upcoming days I will try finish writing my Sigmax brush reviews and put everything together.  Stay warm and wishing you a wonderful Merry Christmas & a good new year!

Sigmax Brushes

I know I'm bad, I took the plunge and decided to get the Sigmax brushes with 10% of my order.  I need a good foundation brush that helps me give me a flawless look.  I know that some of the foundations that I used wasn't giving me an airbrush finish.  Without the proper tools, it's been making my face looks kind of messy and oily at times.  Also I've been having a love and hate relationship battle with some of the foundations I've been using so far probably because I didn't use a good brush or a sponge. I love how soft these brushes runs through my fingers and I can't wait to try them out after giving them a good cleaning.  Will provide more reviews soon, so stay tune.

Hi, just want to inform you all that their is a holiday promotion for these Sigma Pink Brushes set.  Originally this 12 piece kit set retails at $99 dollars but with $20 dollars off that's a good deal in saving.  These brushes are pretty awesome and a lot of people stated that these brushes are comparable to MAC cosmetic brushes.  I got so tempted that I went a head and order these Sigmax brushes and can't wait to try it out.  I recently used a 10% discount code: ELLE for my Sigmax brushes, but you can try this code if you decided to purchase this pink set.

Sephora Hauls + $15 Off Gift Card

In my prior post I mentioned that I received a $15 off gift card from Sephora and I have used to get two items over the weekend. I didn't spend a lot of time there and only got two items. One item that I got was the Caudalie Vinosource Quenching Sorbet-Crème. I really like this cream, it's been helping my face to stay hydrated during this cold winter days.  What I like about this product is that it contain grape seeds extracts and it's a natural moisturizer that doesn't contain any hazardous chemicals like Parabens.

Second item that I got is the L'Occitane Lavender Harvest Hand Cream, since my hands has been getting dry.  I'm really enjoying these two products so far and I'm glad that I invested on facial and hand products to protect myself from this brutal cold winter.  Hope you enjoy this mini review and hopefully I have more products to review in the upcoming days.

What kind of items do you invest in when your skin gets drier?

Holiday Bustling

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving sweep by so fast, it's the time of the year again for Christmas shopping.  I was so tempted to get some stuff on Black Friday, but I bailed out because I know there are always greater and better deals in the future.  I was so tempted to get the Sigmax brushes but decided it wasn't mandatory that I really need it since I have my full kit brushes already.  I haven't been in a mood in putting on make up, so basically I've been going out bare.  Since the holiday is approaching I barely don't have time for myself anymore.  No favors of the month for me and I hate to say that and being a make up addict I should have at least something that I like each month.

Anyway yesterday I was so happy to receive an e-mail from Sephora. I got a $15 dollar gift card and hopefully I could find something that I like in the next few days before the card expires.  I'm thinking of getting facial stuff since I'm out already.  I'm planning to get a toner and a moisturizer since my face has been getting drier.  I will keep you posted of what I get from Sephora with my $15 gift card.  Hope everyone have a nice and cheery Christmas holiday.
