How to style: Hunter Rain Boots

Review: Sigma Make Me Cool Brush Kit



So I recently got these AMAZING brushes from Sigma, and I am in love with them.

The set comes with twelve brushes, and a blue cup holder to put them in. When you are traveling, you put all of the brushes in the one cup, and you snap the other one on top and ta da! Instand container for the brushes.

My favorite brushes in the set are the Duo Fibre {the F50} which i use to blend in my BB cream {and sometimes concealer}. It makes my BB cream look SOOO flawless, it's amazing. Another favorite is the Large Angled Contour {the F40} which i use to apply my blush {I use Fleur Power from Mac} and it spreads out the color really well. I love the angled shape of it; it makes it a lot easier to apply. My other favorite is the Tapered Blending brush {the E40}. I use it to blend out my eyeshadow, and also put my favorite matte brown {Naked by Urban Decay} in my crease with this brush, and it is perfect for it! It makes it look so soft and blended. I love these brushes.

Even though those are my personal favorites, all of them are AMAZING. I use all of them, and they work wonders. They are all SO soft (especially the powder brush). The only little this that is kind of annoying is that the tapered blending brush does shed a little bit, but only like two hairs. the duo fibre also did once, but it was a short hair anyways. So overall, these brushes are the best you can get. Pretty much every beauty guru on Youtube uses them (which is how i was introduced to them) and they ALL love them. I would 100% recommend these!

CONFIDENCE.


I love this girl. She's so inspirational! She makes beauty videos, she's a Christian, and she's pretty much the definition of epic. Take some time to watch some of her videos!
