Lush Review: Big Blue Bath Bomb.

So I love trying new things from Lush every time I go. The closest one to me is about an hour away so I don't go very often. I've decided that I'm going to review the products I try on here. Ive already tried so many that some of them may be repeats for me but not for you. Obviously if i'm buying them again tho I must like them. So the first one I'm going to review is the "Big Blue Bath Bomb".

Review: Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume Mascara.

So lately I've been having really bad luck trying new drugstore mascara's. Which I'm thinking about making a blog post about since there's so many I've hated! So when I picked up the new Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume Mascara needless to say I was very skeptical. I had bought the Benefit "They're Real" mascara which I LOVED but it seems since I ran out no mascara could compete. Until now... I have to say I love this mascara. Finally!.

Most Worn Eyeshadows of 2011:

Here are my most worn eyeshadows in 2011. Ive really liked more natural shades just to apply all over the lid, and then just pick whatever color to put in my crease. The two palette's I know I mentioned in a blog post before but I had to include them because they have been greatly loved!

Sigma Essential Brush Kit: Overview

I am so excited I finally got my hands on some Sigma brushes for Christmas! I got the 12 brush kit, without the brush roll because I already own one and didn't think it was necessary. Th kit was $89.00 (+ tax) at www.sigmabeauty.com.

I love these brushes. After all the talk that has been going around about these, I had to see what it was all about. I honestly don't know how i made it this long without owning these.  They are super soft and make applying makeup effortless. I own a couple MAC brushes and I can honestly say I find the quality of the sigma brushes better. They feel more sturdy and in my opinion they are better then any brush I have used. Instead of going to the drugstore or buying a different MAC brush here and there to build a collection like I was doing I wish i would have just purchased this kit from the start. It has all the "essential" brushes you could need!
