An eyeshadow blending brush is must-have in every makeup collection to blend out eyeshadow, harsh lines on your eyes are not cute...blending brushes are not hard to find and you really can never have enough of them. I recently received the Sigma travel sized blending brush and after using it, here are my thoughts on it. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION "Oval-shaped brush with gently chiseled sides. Blends and softens the look of powder or cream shadows.    Ideal to apply eye shadow primer, base eye shadow colors, and blend harsh lines." The brush is small enough to fit in your hand. PROS -Very affordable, only $9 for the full-sized brush. -Easy to purchase...can be purchased online from Sigma Beauty . -The bristles are very dense and can pack on a lot of color and blend shadows effortlessly. -Small enough to fit in your cosmetic pouch, perfect for travel. CONS -Because the bristles are white, the shadow tends to stain the bristles. MY THOUGH...

I've been making several purchases from Sigma because of all the good reviews that I've heard about them from You Tube and other beauty bloggers. I bought the Sigma Flat Top F80 kabuki and the large Shader brush a few months ago. Here are my thoughts.. F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush Pros -This brush can be used for applying foundation (cream or liquid), applying blush and applying powder. -It works as a buffer and blending brush,which is great for foundation. -It's very dense and doesn't use that much product. -The bristles are soft and easy to clean. -Unlike a duo fibre brush, it doesn't streak when applying liquid foundation. Cons -It's a little on the short side, I do wish it was a bit longer. Overall, I im in LOVE with this brush! It has replaced all of my foundation brushes. The price ($16) is reasonable for it's many uses.  It's a Sigma exclusive brush, so it can only be purcashed from Sigma.This is definitely a must have brush for any ...

This is the second post of my November makeup haul. I picked up a few more things from a few brands that I've been meaning to try for a while. LOREAL INFALLIBLE  LIPCOLOR Every since I saw Beyonce' in the L'oreal commercial I wanted to try this lip color. I wanted to see if the 16 hour- never fail color would live up to it's claim. I love this color! I lost my Mac Ruby Woo lipstick and I was very upset but now that I have this color, I could care less about finding my Ruby Woo lipstick. This red is an excellent dupe for Ruby Woo, I actually like it better than Ruby Woo. I purchased it from Target for $8.99. I saw it at CVS and it was priced for $13.99... Target is the best bet. I could go on and on about this lipstick but I'm going to save it for my review with pictures. NYX CREAM BLUSHES I've also been meaning to try cream blushes forever, but I was always apprehensive about applying it since cream can be more concentrated than powder at times. I dec...
