New Sigma Discount Code for September 2013

We are getting closer to the end of 2013, is it me or did this year just fly by?! Sigma Beauty has a new discount code for September - LJW2013. You can use this code to buy some new brushes, makeup and brow products, or items to clean and maintain your brushes.

In my last order I received the mini spa glove and my free gift with $30 or more purchase, so I am very tempted to purchase the full size Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove. The mini spa glove made cleaning my brushes so much easier and quicker! Then I used my Sigma Dry'n Shape to dry my brushes.

You can now purchase brushes from the Extravaganza Complete Kit individually, which they sell currently - but these have the gold ferrules.

I love all of my Sigma items, I am never disappointed with anything I have purchased from them over the last 3 years. Let me know what you love from Sigma!

Until next time XO

Christmas in July: 20% off Sigma Beauty and Haul!

Sigma Beauty has given their affiliates a special 20% off discount code to share with their followers and a bonafide user of Sigma products I am sharing this code with you. The code is SBAP20 and will be valid for one week, starting tomorrow July 22nd at midnight (CST) and ending Monday, July 29th at midnight (CST).

I recently order some Sigma Products and thought this would be a great opportunity to share my thoughts on my order. First off, the free gift with $30 or more purchase is great! I have enough travel E25, E05 and eyeshadow samples - the free gift this month is a mini Spa Glove in one of four colors. I was super excited about this since I have been contemplating purchasing the Spa Brush Cleaning Glove.

Sigma recently started selling their Performance Eyes Kit individually, so I picked up 3 brushes from the set: E21, E46, and E56

The E21 (Smudge Brush) is the little sister of the E20 (Short Shader). The E20 has always been my favorite brush for smudging liner or shadow onto the lid or lower lash line, but the E21 has replaced it for the lower lash line. This brush is amazing for smudging!

The E46 (Shader - Inner Corner) and E56 (Shader - Lid) have been a disappointment, unless I just don't fully understand how these are supposed to work. I have tried these brushes for the last two weeks and not been satisfied with the results. I do not have super small eyes, but they are not big, so I thought these would be great - no they are not. But who knows, I may figure these out and love them one day.

The last brushes I picked up were just extras, an E35 and E40 - both Tapered Blending brushes. I use these brushes daily, so its nice to have extras.

The last item I picked up is the Brow Kit Value Set in Medium, they have four shades/sets to choose from. The set includes 5 essentials for flawless brows, at a great price point. For $48 ($60 value) you will get the following:

• Brow Powder Duo - in medium ($14)
• Dual-ended Highlighting Pencil ($12)
• Dual-ended Brow Pencil - in medium and dark ($12)
• E75 Angled Brow Brush ($12)
• E80 Brow and Lash Brush ($10)

I have been very happy with all of my Sigma products, if I wasn't I would not continue to purchase or endorse the brand. I hope you take advantage of the 20% off sale, they have some great makeup, brow and brush products!

Until next time XO

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!

How Much? $59 (save 10% with GLAM2012 thru 5/31)
Where to purchase? sigmabeauty.com
Available? May 7th (Limited Time)

Will you be hauling? I know I will be sharing :)

Free for Haul Friday!

It's been a while since I really hauled anything, mainly due to holiday shopping... I really didn't have time to shop for myself. So Thursday, January 5, 2012, MAC released the Naturally Collection, along with the MAC and Iris Apfel Collection. I am pretty much attracted to anything called naturally, so I had to check it out in person. So aside from MAC I also checked out the new cream shadows from Maybelline.

The collection itself is medium in size. It contains 4 lipsticks, 4 lipglass, 5 mineralize eye shadows, 2 mineralize skin finishes, 2 eye pencils, 3 mineralize blushes, and 2 duo fiber brushes. I picked up a the blush in Early Morning, 2 of the eye shadows Twilight Falls and Summer Haze, and a lipglass in Naked Space. I will post a separate review of these products once I have truly tried them out, other than just swatching.

Summer Haze - Mineralize Eye Shadow 

Twilight Falls - Mineralize Eye Shadow

Early Morning - Mineralize Blush

Naked Space - Lipglass

After I went to MAC I stopped in Walgreens to see of they had any of the Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eye shadow. They had all 10 shades at Walgreens and they were buy one and get one for 50%, but I only wanted 5 of them. They had a really bright purple, green, blue and orange, and plain white. I have NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, so I didn't feel the need to get that one. The orange was too bright and I would never wear it, so I passed on it too. I passed on the purple and blue because I have some 24/7 shade sticks from Urban Decay, and I passed on the green because I wanted a darker green and not quite so bright.

Bottom: This is nice, because you can see the color through the bottom clearly.

Top: I love this because it has the name on the top of the jar.

The ones I picked up were, Audacious Asphalt (grey), Bad to the Bronze (bronze), Bold Gold (gold), Pomegranate Punk (burgundy-ish) and Tough as Taupe (matte taupe). These are very comparable to the MAC paint pots. The prices are $5.99 to $6.99, I paid $6.99 at Walgreens, but they are $5.99 at Target. The are 0.14 oz or 4 g, where as MAC paint pots are 0.17 oz or 5 g and they run about $17.50 each. I will post a separate review of these products once I have truly tried them out, other than just swatching.

Top L-R: Pomegranate Punk, Bold Gold, Audacious Asphalt
Botton L-R: Bad to the Bronze and Tough as Taupe

Have you hauled anything from MAC or the drugstore? I am always looking for suggestions on products! Thanks for reading and don't forget the Sigma discount code 0112XJML is good until January 31st!

Haul and Review: Sigma/Sigmax Brushes

I know in August a wrote about the brush that changed my foundation routine... well I am back with a haul and review of MORE Sigma brushes! I couldn't resist ordering more of these brushes and honestly this will not be the last Sigma order I place!

So as an early birthday gift to my self I ordered the Make Me Crazy 12 piece purple brush set, the Bare palette, the E20 short shader brush and the E45 small tapered blending brush. I had a 10% discount code I used to save on my order and even with that I definitely got a lot for my money! And so that you know, all thoughts and opinions on these brushes and products are my on... I paid for all products mentioned with my own money.

First thing I will touch on is the Bare palette. This palette is pretty awesome and I can't wait to order the Dare and Flare palette's. The eye shadow palette's contain 8 shadows and a dual ended brush, each palette's brush is different and colored to match the palette. The Bare palette has 4 matte shades and 4 shimmer shades. The dual brush has the E30 pencil brush and the E25 blending brush.

I used this palette and the shades blend well and lasted all day. The packaging resembles the Urban Decay Naked palette in appearance, is durable and contains a mirror. And this palette is priced at the amazing price of $35, completely affordable!

Dual Ended Brush - E30 and E25

The E45 and E20 are part of the Premium Professional kit, however I really didn't want all of those brushes. The E45 is the small tapered blending brush and is ideal for precisely applying shadow to the crease. The E20 is the short shader brush and is perfect for applying shadow to the lid or smudging along the lash lines. Each eye brush is $9, where as the face brushes range from $14-$19 each.

E45 - Small Tapered Blending Brush

E20 - Short Shader Brush

The Make Me Crazy 12 piece purple kit contains every brush you could ever need! This set contains 5 face brushes, 7 eye brushes and a 2 piece container that you can use to store your brushes or travel with them. I have several MAC comparable brushes that cost a lot more than what Sigma sells theres for, at equal if not better quality. The 5 face brushes are the F60 foundation, F70 concealer, the F50 duo fiber, the F40 angled contour and F30 large powder. The 7 eye brushes are the E05 eyeliner, E30 pencil, E40 tapered blending, E55 eye shading, E60 large shader, E65 small angle, and the E70 medium angled shading.

Eye Brushes - From Bottom to Top: E30, E40, E05, E55, E60,  E70 and E65

Face Brushes - From Bottom to Top: F70, F40, F60, F30, and F50

(Container for the brush set)

This set is $99 and is part of the Make Me Up collection. The collection features the same 12 piece set in 4 different colors, all named appropriately by their color. The "Make Me Classy" in black, the "Make Me Blush" in coral, the "Make Me Cool" in aqua, and the "Make Me Crazy" in purple. These sets are perfect for anyone starting out in makeup or looking to expand their brush collection like myself.

Sigma was introduced to me by YouTube makeup guru Tiffany from MakeupByTiffanyD. She is a firm believer in Sigma and faithfully uses these brushes. I have been obsessing over these brushes and when looking at the cost of the brushes, whether individually or in a set, it was still cheaper than MAC. The same  brushes I bought from Sigma for $99 would have cost me more than $300, plus I got a container to store my brushes in!

So if you don't know who Sigma is, check them out! If you own Sigma brushes or products, what are your favorites?

Until next time xo Shannon!
