Sigma Make Me Up Kit Review

*Sigma brushes have the purple/pink handle.... Crown Brushes have the black!*

I've recently decided to purchase a new set of brushes. If you watch my YouTube videos then you know I used to rave about Crown Brushes! This was the second set of brushes I ever owned, and they were very good to me. However, the more and more I start to do other people's make-up, as well as my own, I noticed that I couldn't get my brushes clean fast enough. SO I decided to get a second set of brushes. I didn't go with Crown Brush because I wanted something of a little better quality, and I noticed they were starting to shed!

I opted to go with Sigma Brushes, and let me tell you hunnnnnyyyyyyyy, I have seen the light!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the SOFTEST brushes I have ever used in my LIFE! They allow you to buy single brushes or kits! I went with their newer "Make Me Up" Kits in purple, aka "Make Me Crazy".

The kit comes with 12 brushes all labeled, on the handles, with an "E"(eye) or a"F"(face) as well as the functions of the brushes. This is a GREAT starter kit for anyone who is just starting out, or if you just want to add a little flare to your makeup collection. They also come in pink, teal, and black!

Included brushes:
Eyeliner - E05, Pencil - E30, Tapered Blending - E40, Eye Shading - E55, Large Shader - E60, Small Angle - E65, Medium Angled Shading - E70, Large Powder - F30, Large Angled Contour - F40, Duo Fibre - F50, Foundation - F60,and Concealer - F70. It's hard to pick a favorite, but those face brushes feel sooo good when you're putting on powder and things. Some are synthetic, some are natural.. and they feel divine.


I'm thinking about doing a video on how/when to use each of these brushes! If you guys want to see that, let me know! Keep me posted on your purchases of any of these brushes! I want to know if anyone else is as deep in love as I am! Ahhh!!! I'm excited!

Ok... I need to go now.... My dork is showing! Teehee

Edit... I've actually done the video! A lot of people said they needed it, so I hope it helped! You can watch that here! Dont forget to rate, comment, and subscribe!

Nars Laguna Bronzer Review


If you're someone who watches a lot of YouTube videos or a lot of Blogs centered around beauty/ makeup than you have heard a TON about this bronzer already. If you don't.... let me put you on to what may be the greatest creation in life! haha

I just worked up the desire (and coin) to purchase Nars' Laguna bronzer because I couldn't bring myself to spend so much on it! It costs about $33 at all the places you can imagine getting it (Sephora, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, etc.) but every penny is well spent. This bronzer is perfect for contouring your face! When I wear it I have the cheekbones from heaven! It does not give off a muddy color, but since I am slightly tan, I have to use a few swipes to get it where I want it to be. Honestly, I would rather have it that way versus it being TOO pigmented and I walk around like I just finished playing in dirt!

I completely explain how I contour my face using Nars Laguna Bronzer in this video and trust me, this is a trick you WANT to learn. Overall, if you can find somewhere else in your beauty routine to cut costs, like eyeshadow, this bronzer is a must have!!!

e.l.f Everyday Brights Palette Review | Eyeslipsface.com


Okay so recently I've purchased a few products from eyeslipsface.com and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products for such a cheap price! If you watch my latest YouTube video here then you'll see a full review of everything I bought. This post is dedicated solely to my Everyday Brights Palette, though!

First off, this palette was only $10 I believe, and it came with 32 colors. They are very bright and vibrant... perfect for Spring/ Summer! The colors are very pigmented and with a little UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) they definitely stand out on your eyes! I tried a mint green look the other night and absolutely adored it. I've heard complaints that the colors appear "powdery" but I have yet to see this in my two uses of the product!

Anyone who's looking for beauty on a budget should definitely check out these eyeshadow palettes. One of my YouTube subscribers will have the Everyday Basics Palette in their goodie bag from my first subscriber giveaway! So, if you haven’t already head on over to my channel & subscribe! You could be my first winner!!!!

LaRosa Crackle Shatter Nail Polish Review


Since it is virtually impossible for me to find Katy Perry's Shatter nail polish by OPI or China Glaze's crackle colors I decided to try one of the less popular brands of crackle polish.

I was at a nail supply store and got three shades of LaRosa Crackle Shatter nailpolish. I got the Hot Yellow, Black, and Seaweed (which is shown in the picture above). I would say this stuff is just as good as OPI & china glaze from the reviews I've read.

Just like the other two brands you want to make sure your bottom color is fully dry and is two coats thick before you apply the crackle. When u put the crackle on your nails make sure you only do one thin coat or else you'll get a big blobby mess. Do NOT try to put on two coats of crackle... No seriously, don't lol! I did that and had to redo the whole nail.

I also paid $4.75 for this stuff, so it wasn't the cheapest polish ever in life, but still not as much as OPI. Overall, I say give this product a try if you can't get your hands on the other brands due to availability or price.

Happy polishing....

Review & Rave | Urban Decay Naked Palette


Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyy goshhhhhhh!

Screw the introduction I'm jumping straight into this! Lol

I absolutely love this frigging palette! Urban decay is always kind of pricey so I expect nothing less from this palette, so at $48 you need to make sure it's worth it. Well, lemme tell you.... IT IS! Every single thing about this palette makes me feel like that was a good investment.

The palette came with a mini primer potion and a 24/7 eye pencil in whiskey and zero. First of all, these eyeliner pencils are the ishhhhh! They glide on, just like they claim.

There are 12 shadows in tons of shades, but they're subtle enough to allow for a neutral/naked look. Two of those shadows are matte, which gives you a little more range if you really want to keep it nude.

Bottom line.... If you have a spare 50 bucks to spend on an everyday palette... Buy this! I know they're hard to find in stores, but hold on because I've heard that this is a permanent palette for urban decay now..... So now I'm longer freaking out about hitting pan because I know I can just buy it again!

Hope you guys love it as much as I did!!

Primal Elements Goat's Milk Bar Soap | Review


So I went into Whole Foods one day to do some random shopping, and I came across this little chopping block display of these different goat's milk soaps. The thing that drew me into them was their cool designs & colors... they almost looked like stained glass windows instead of soap! Well you know I'm always willing to try new things, so I picked up one that I thought was cute & smelled okay and decided I'd give it a whirl! Well... when I got to the checkout it turned out that your first try of the soap was "on the house"... I guess to give people a chance to try it and hopefully get repeat customers! Well.... their plan worked! Primal Elements has me hooked! The soap lathers really well and makes my skin smell very "fresh". I got the bar that looked like leopard print, but there are TONS to choose from. So... RUN out to your local Whole Foods and get your free sample of this Primal Elements Handmade Goat's Milk Soap!

See you guys later!

P.S- I did a review of it on my YouTube Channel... check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbflQ8rPSmk
