I love the packaging of this collection, however there is not much that really excites me. I like both blushes and will probably pick up one or both. I cannot wear red or any shade of it, it just does not look right, so I will probably pass up the lipsticks and liners. I do like the beauty powder and the eyeshadows, especially Preferred Blonde and How to Marry. Is there anything that captures your eye? Will you be hauling?

Until next time-

New from Sigma: The Paris Palette

From Sigma:

"The Paris Project is the perfect combination of talent, art and tradition. Seven renowned beauty experts (TiffanyD, Xteeener, DulceCandy87, Xsparkage, Frmheadtotoe, Petrilude and MacNC40) explored the City of Lights and developed an original makeup palette inspired by the alluring city of Paris. For the next 7 weeks we will be releasing a tutorial and vlog from each of the artists involved in the Paris Project."

"The limited edition Paris Makeup Palette includes eight eye shadows that were influenced by landmark monuments and locations in Paris. It also includes two blush colors and one highlight shade, carefully developed by the beauty experts to compliment all skin tones. The Paris Makeup Palette is completed with two essential Sigma brushes, E55 – Eye Shading and F40 – Large Angled Contour, for flawless makeup application." 

This amazingly gorgeous palette is Limited Edition, so get it while you can! I already ordered mine and will be reviewing :)! I am a huge fan of Sigma, as well as TiffanyD, DulceCandy87 and Xsparkage, so I knew when they teamed up they would deliver awesomeness! I have Sigma's Bare palette and its one of my favorites. The texture of the shadows are soft and blend beautifully. I can't wait until I receive mine!

Spice is definitely one I want to pick up, its right up my alley of neutral! I will be hauling, mostly the LE stuff and since most of the lipsticks are permanent and available year round I all mostly be hauling lipglass. Are you going to haul from this collection?
