Sigma F80 Review and GIVEAWAY EXTENDED

Sigma recently sent me the F80 brush to review. Sigma describes the brush as the following:

This exclusive flat top synthetic kabuki was designed to deliver a flawless makeup application. The Sigma Makeup F80 is a buffer brush that can be used to blend powder or liquid products. The short and dense bristles make it easy to buff your liquid foundation. The long handle adds comfort to your makeup application. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid products and can be easily cleaned. Made of Synthetic Sigmax HD filament.

I've been lusting after this for a while. Its safe to say I was a happy camper when I got the email from Sigma. I have had a recent obsession over makeup brushes to apply foundation. Currently this one is winning the battle and probably the war :).


I thought it was going to be similar to the ELF Powder Brush, which it was, but I like it much better! It is more expensive at $16 compared to the $3 for the ELF brush, but it is definitely worth it. The ELF brush doesn't give an airbrushed look like the Sigma brush. The ELF brush also absorbs a lot of the foundation, whereas the Sigma brush doesn't. In the end you use less product with the Sigma than with the ELF.

Sigma offered to do a giveaway on my blog for the f80. After I tested the brush I agreed (I wouldn't have a giveaway for something I didn't like.)
The rules are as followed:
(Required) Follow this blog via GFC as a Public Follower, as well as give me your name and email +1
(Optional) Mention this giveaway in you sidebar +1 (include link)
(Optional) Mention this giveaway in a blog post +1 (Include link)


I would really appreciate it if you could add up your total at the end of the comment.

The giveaway ends on June 3rd, not the 1st anymore (I would end it a month from today but I'll be in Turkey :) ). The giveaway is open international.

Good luck!!

Review: Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen

I've had this in my collection for a while now, but just recently broke it out and discovered my love for it. Its a great color that smudges so easily! I got it at Target (click here for link) over the summer, so I think it has new packaging now, but I'm not entirely sure.


I love the packaging, like all Pixi packaging, its fun! It has tropical flowers drawn around it, and with the color of the pencil itself I feel like I might be somewhere warmer than I am.


It's so smooth and glides so well when applied. Not to mention it makes my blue eyes look bluer.



(Smudged liner on the top and regular on the bottom, sorry for the weird color on the smudged swatch my brush was apparently not very clean)
Not to mention it smudges perfectly. I used short smudge brush from Sephora and its just amazed me. I cannot find a smudgiable eyeliner that works for me. I either use an eyeshadow as a liner than smudge or just use an eyeliner and fail at smudge.

I will definitely go out and try some other colors!

Review time!!! MUFE HD Foundation

I go through stages of obsessing over one type of makeup. The last stage brought about my nail polish obsession, this new stage seems to be foundation. My first purchase is the MUFE HD foundation, which I love.


See the top does stay on!!
All those people who said that was the drawback of the product were wrong!


It is described as:

An oil-free medium-to-full-coverage liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.

All in all this foundation is great! It covers well and blends easily. The cover is invisible but differently there. I would have shown you a before and after on my face but I have a different foundation on my face.

Definitely go out and try this on! Its great for combo to oily skin.

Product Lovin' Jack Black Lip Balm



For those of you who have never heard of Jack Black it might be because it's a mens' skincare brand. If this is what mens' skincare is like I might want to try some products. This stuff is AMAZING! I absolutely love it! It does everything its suppose to do, and then some. It smells amazing, gives the perfect light gloss, and really makes your lips feel nourished. Go out and buy this stuff now!!
This stuff was a God send over the summer when I was stuck sitting near a really smelly man, I put some of it under my nose and it fixed that problem. Completely multi-use ;).
