Small NYX Haul

Cherry Culture was having a 40% off sale on all NYX products. I decided to order a few things from there because here in Canada Rexall does not carry the entire NYX line. Here is what I have purchased: NYX Black Label Lipstick in Natural, Round Lipstick in B5, Mocha and Dusty Rose Blush.

Mocha

Dusty Rose

Dusty Rose - Mocha

Black Label Lipstick in Natural

Round Lipstick in B52

Round Lipgloss

Round Lipgloss

Natural - B52 - Mauve - Pinky Natural

From what I had purchased I definitely love the blushes and lip glosses ! The colours are gorgeous and are very pigmented! I would definitely purchase from cherryculture again. Shipping to Canada took quite awhile because cherryculture was having a 40% off sale and shipping just took a little bit longer but once shipped, I received it within a week after they had shipped it.

Sigma had just recently launched their limited edition cities travel collection featuring four different cities in four different colours. Paris - Red, Tokyo - Pink, New York - Black, London - Chestnut. All the kits contains 7 brushes. Four eye brushes and three face brushes.

This kit contains:

Duo Fibre - Powder/Blush - F15 - Medium-sized tapered brush. Widely disperses mineralized powders. Blend of natural and synthetic bristles.

Small Contour - F05 - Ideal to apply, blend or contour powder products. The softly rounded dome tip smoothly blends colour into the face. Natural bristles.

Large Shader - E60 - Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers. Natural bristles.

Small Tapered Blending - E45 Small domed brush with highly tapered tip. Versatile, this brush can be used to precisely apply and blend intense colours to the crease area. Natural bristles.

Tapered Blending - E35 - Fluffy, long-bristled brush with tapered tip. ideally used to apply and blend colour to the crease area and to soften harsh edges. Natural bristles.

Eye Liner - E05 - An extra fine- tipped brush that delivers a precise, firm, even stroke to line the eyes. Synthetics bristles

 After seeing the collection I just had to purchase one for myself! The one I had chosen was London. It features 18K gold ferrules and chestnut handles. Here is how they look like !

In comparison to the original Sigma brush and the travel size brush, the original large powder brush is much larger (length wise) and that the size of the bristles is much larger as well. I find that the larger brush is a bit larger for my face whereas the travel-size one is perfect. The brushes that are in this kit is all the essentials that you would need to take with you when travelling and does not take up a large amount of space in your luggage. With the brush holder, carrying your brush inside, there is no need to worry that your brushes will get damaged because the brush holder is very sturdy. 

Overall the Sigma Cities Collection is a must have ! Not only is it a limited edition but seriously, it is the cutest travel sized brush set ever. The quality of the brushes are great and for the price that they offer it is definitely worth paying for. Get your limited edition sigma brushes now  -> Sigma Beauty

[Review] Coastal Scents

 I have just received my Coastal Scents order two days ago and my, was i surprised at how fast shipping was! This is my second time ordering from Coastal Scents and am very pleased with how fast they ship. So what I had recently ordered was the 88 original palette and the 10 blush palette. Each of the palette was wrapped carefully with bubble wrap and included was an eye shadow sample along with two Coastal Scents business cards. Each of the colours are about the same size as a dime. The eye shadows are very pigmented for the very affordable prices that they offer and with this many colours in the palette you definitely can't go wrong! With this palette you can transform your day look to a night look with all the colours that are available in this palette, using the lighter colours on the left as a highlight colour.

Moving along to the blushes, the colours again are amazing! and you can't go wrong with it. This 10 blush palette is like an all-in-one palette. The colours are definitely pigmented as well and if you are a make-up artist or someone who travels a lot and needs to bring lots of makeup with you, this blush palette would be the perfect palette to take along with you because of the variety of colours that are available.

Justin Bieber - Nicole by O.P.I

I have just recently stopped by Walmart and was looking for a nice red nail polish for the holidays and I stumbled across the Nicole by O.P.I Justin Bieber collection. The colour is called "Redy to Runaway Love"? it is just a gorgeous bright red. Definitely perfect for the holidays! Normally when purchasing nail polishes I would always hesitate because I don't know if the colour will be streaky due or how sheer the colour actually is. Now this is my first time purchasing an O.P.I. nail polish because I normally purchase ESSIE. But with this nail polish I was surprised at how well the colour turned out and also how wonderfully easy it is to put on the first coat. A second coat is not needed but if you like you could apply another coat. So overall I think that I will be purchasing more O.P.I. nail polishes and would also recommend this colour because it is just the perfect red!
