Sigma Brushes

Hey gorgeous ladies,
As you may have already seen on my blog I love Sigma and their brushes. Before I get into explaining into detail about each of these brushes I first wanted to share with you my disastrous experiences with brushes in general. At first, when I started with makeup I was obsessed with sponges for some reason I thought that was cool. In fact I had a huge bag of sponges everywhere so I could do my makeup. Soon enough I met the gel eyeliner MAC FLUIDLINE in blacktrack and of course, I could not use a sponge, therefore, I spent 23 dollars ( more than what the gel cost!!!)in a eyebrow pencil by MAC#208. After sometime, I lost that pretty brush that helped me with my gel.

Soon my mom gave me a great brush set she had received as a gift from Estee Lauder I was so excited. I would soon become a professional makeup artist, or so I thought. I was wrong. They were horrible. The contour brush did not have enough bristles to even start with, but the shader brush was good. Still they were not a big deal.

Later on I stumbled with sigma brushes and I was really intrigued by all the reviews and they were mostly positive. I decided that I would by brushes and spend a little more. And so I did.

I first started with the Basic Kit with twelve brushes. I have been so impressed about how good they are. They really go above and beyond my expectations.

I have to say the fluffy Tapered Blending brush is not my favorite. There is one in MAC that I like more. But still, 11 out of 12 brushes are still great.

 After some time Sigma came out with new brushes and they also looked amazing. The density and volume they had were perfect for blending eyes and even concealer.
 My absolute favorite brush is the one on the left corner. That is amazing with liquid or cream foundation and it blends it all right in.


I absolutely recommend checking them out, if you have not already. I was in Mexico when I bought them and it took about 9 days to get to me. But if you think about it they were shipping internationally, so it was not bad.

Check them out!!

Avocado Hair treatment

Hello Gorgeous ladies!!!
So, I know I have been MIA but it is december which means finals, but still we should always spend some time blogging and I just want to share something I did to my hair on Saturday.

My hair is very sensitive, dry and sometimes even oily(luckily my hair does not get shiny because of it) but still you get an idea. This treatment I am about to show you is for people with dry hair and trust me, it works!! It leaves my hair so soft and my hair is usually not. It makes it manageable and easy to handle.

What you'll need :
-1 avocado
-1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons of Olive oil
-Shower cap
-1/2 lime


1. Put everything together. Squish Squish Squish. MIX MIX MIX.
2.  Spread it on your hair
3. Use a plastic hair cap so that the natural heat helps the oils silk on your hair
4. Wait as long as possible for better results
5. rinse and clean as usual

Simple Smokey look for the holidays

5 THINGS I ASKED SANTA TAG

Hello gorgeous ladies,

So, I was tagged by my one of my followers called Curious Ladybug. She tagged me to do a blog on five things I wanted for Christmas. I was having a tough time figuring out what I would ask Santa this year. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share what beauty related products I am missing or wanting. Sephora has great gift sets for all those makeup lovers like me. These are the things I would ask for:

1. Skincare 1 2 3 White Lucent Brightening: Two weeks ago, I visited Sephora and I stumbled upon this limited edition skincare set. It looked really great and I know from experience that Shiseido products are great!




 2. Twilight Woods: This smells amazing and the whole set is just too cute to be true. This is from Bath and Body Works.


3. Smashbox Perfect Complexion: This is a gorgeous set and I have been dying to try Smashbox foundation line.














4. Wild & Chic Best of MAKE UP FOR EVER Kit: This is a perfect Christmas Gift because it has the best of Makeup Forevers products. I am a absolute fan of this brand. Giving a gift like this is easier because you do not have to look for a perfect shade for the person you are buying the gift. This gift set matches all skin tones.

5. Lots of love!!!! <3<3 Christmas is about spending time with family and loved ones. Giving is the best part of it all.

Hope you liked my ideas. Please share which one you liked the most and if you would buy it for yourself or someone else.

I AM TAGGING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU TO DO A 5 THINGS I ASKED SANTA BLOG OR VIDEO RESPONSE. I would be so excited in reading what is on your list.

All these gifts are under 50 dollars!
Check them out at  Sephora !!! and Bath and Body Works
