The way i Sculpt My Eyes

Hello Loves,
last night i decided to sculpt my eyes since i was just going to school, plus my mom's xmas party is coming up and she wants me to do her makeup, so i dont want her looking like a hooker (no offense to those) but want to give her a classy look so i practiced on myself and this is what i came up with:
What i used...
88 CS Palette


Sigma and E.L.F brushes

MAC Blacktrack

NYX Jumbo Pencils in Milk and Iced Mocha

and UDPP not pictured i forgot oops!


ok so 1st i primed my lid with the udpp after that i applied NYX Milk in the inner corners of my eyes. I smudged it in to blend towards the middle of my lid then applied #1 on the pic showing the colors i used from the 88 palette. I used that light color to go over the inner corner of my eye with my Sigma ss252 brush.
After that i applied #3 and applied it all over the lid using the same brush.
With the Sigma ss219 i took the #2 and went over the crease and the v corner and blended it in.
I then took my MAC 224 and used the #4 as a highlight.
After the lids were done i took the ss209 and used it to line my eyes with MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.
With the E.L.F brush i took some of the #2 and smudged it all over my lower lashline, but not oo much just enough. Then took NYX Iced Mocha and lined my lower lashline. And whala! eyes all done, i like it for my mom, she didnt get to see it cuz she was already asleep, but i will keep doing different looks to see whats the best for her, now for pics..

(i have huge eyes so i dont go all the way down to the inner corner otherwise wow bug eyes lol

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions. Lots of girls use them to make hair look longer and thicker.

My question is out of all the kinds you can get, where can i get good clip on extensions???
I made the dumb mistake in cutting some length off and now i wish i could just glue it all back =[ so i thought to myself not all is lost, i could just try some extensions. The reason why im asking about clip ons is because i heard that they are less damaging than the kind you get sewn in. So if you ladies know what's up please do tell, I cant wait to flip my long hair, well my store bought hair =]

Nov. Favourites

Could it be im actually posting again?
lol
well now that i have my camera i can =]
anyways here goes my November favorites:



  1. NYX l/s in Honey: this lippie is a great nude by itself of not i put a coat of NYX sorbet l/g on top to make it shine, but i love it without too.
  2. Almay Smart Shade Concealer in light/medium: this is a weird but good product, it does cover really well, sometimes it looks dry depending on how my skin is being (oily or not) but i gotta say i like it.
  3. Target brand Smudger Brush: this brush is my go to brush every single time i wear makeup so its my all year round fave. i like the lower lashline smudged cuz it gives me a sexy just woke up and look fierce lool..lol ok not even but u catch my drift. and it was only $2.
  4. Clinique All about Eyes cream: i love this, i used it a lot this month since it was my bday and lots of drinking was going on, which means i totally puffed up, especially in the eye area. so this does the trick every time.
  5. MAC Prep+Prime: ok ok so not a lot of people love this stuff, i personally found a better primer but this stuff is good, and its what i have been reaching for a lot lately, especially since its cold andmy nose loves to turn like rudolphs the raindeer. a bright red, and well with this my makeup stays on when i rub my nose so barely any redness.
  6. MAC Fix+ : ok so who doesnt love this stuff, it keeps my makeup intact. enough said.
  7. MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Med/Dark: this is my favorite, i put it on top of my liquid foundation to set it like my MUA told me to and it evens out my color, i love it, looking silky smoooth haha love the zohan =]
So thats it my favs, what are yours this month??

One of my bday gifts

Hello loves,
So i told you in a previous post that i received as a gift from my bestie for my bday that was what i have been wanting for a pretty long while, i got my sigma brushes, the complete kit set to be exact. I was jumping with joy cuz she knew how bad i wanted them. So here they are:


*i forgot to take a picture of 3 in here oops =]

As you all know they come numbered just like the MAC brushes but the Sigma Brushes have an"SS" before each number.
In this kit i received:
  • SS150 Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.
  • SS190 Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. It is also recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas. Synthetic bristles.
  • SS187 Specially designed to generate an ‘airbrushed’ finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.
  • SS168 The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades. Natural bristles.
  • SS194 The rounded, tampered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.
  • SS275 Angled, tapered, flat top. Ideal to apply highlight shades underneath the eyebrow and on the inner corners. It can also be used for a precise application of darker shades on the crease area. Natural bristles
  • SS266 Essential for the application of gel or cream eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. This brush is also excellent to filling out the eyebrows. Synthetic bristles.
  • SS252 Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers. It also works great with loose eye shadows or pigments. Can be used to apply color all over the lid or precisely on the lash line. Natural bristles.
  • SS219 Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.
  • SS224 Sounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.
  • SS209 An extra-fine tipped synthetic fiber brush that delivers a precise, firm, even stroke with which to line the eyes.
  • SS239 Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.
i also received a ss217 as a free gift.

***THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BRUSHED WAS TAKEN FROM Sigma Makeup website.***

i have to say these brushes are great for those who want to start off in the makeup world. These brushes are of great quality, comparable to high end brands. So far i love them, they havent shed on me yet, and i have been using them since i got them. They are so worth it. The bristles are very soft, and thats what we all look for in brushes. so i do recommend you ladies and gents to check'em out.
Anyone have Sigma brushes? what are your experiences and thoughts on them?
