Black Friday Online Purchase

On Black Friday 2010 I decided I was going to use some of the money I have been saving up to purchase some cosmetic items that I have really been wanting to try out and here they are:






Sigma Sigmax Synthetic Face Edition Kit
I am so happy to finally have these babies in my possession. I have been wanting to purchase the F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki brush for what feel like ever, but I am very happy that I waited because now I was able to purchase all of them in one kit for less than what it would have cost me to purchase each brush individually. I am happy to say that these brushes are all very soft (like all Sigma brushes that I have purchased). The only thing that has upset me so far about the brushes is that when I went to wash them for the first time before using them I noticed that it took me a really long time to wash out much of the shampoo that I used to clean them with. Every time I would set them out to dry I would go back to check on them and noticed that when I would touch them often they would foam up so they still had alot of product left in them from the shampoo. I would suggest mixing your shampoo with water before applying directly to the brushes to wash because maybe since they are so thick in bristles they build up easily. Other than that no complaints. I did have to wash them more than 4 times to finally get rid of the majority of the shampoo still left in them. I still have yet to try them when applying my daily cosmetics but have a feeling I will not be disappointed.

Sigma F55
This is another brush I have been waiting to purchase. I did not really have need for it but decided to purchase it to help with my brush collection.Very soft and the brush itself I feel will be great for applying powder form of highlighter to my face.

Sigma F05
This small contour brush is a long awaited brush as well. Very soft. Has enough firmness and perfect shape to contour. I would love to try it also to apply liquid foundation.

Sigma F45
Finally I have the buffer kabuki brush. I had one previously but had given it away as a gift. This soft and dense brush will surely be perfect to buff out anything I need.

Sigma Maxbag
This bag is huge. Now I can finally use it for all my traveling purposes or when I am simply in rush and on the go. It fits everything I would need to fit an away from home makeup application.

MAC Fluidline Blacktrack

This is another product that I have really been wanting. I still need to practice more on my eyes on how to apply precise lines. I love the fact that the jar that it comes in is glass. The pay off is great. Hopefully it will last me a while.




MAC Painterly Paint Pot
Finally I have an eye primer that works. I first purchased MAC eye Prep and Prime. It was a very disappointing purchase. I thought it would be a good eye primer based on the name but it did everything that it should not have (it always creased no matter how thin of a layer I applied before my eyeshadows). DO NOT BUY MAC PREP AND PRIME EYES instead purchase a Paint Pot, of which you will have much more options in color that you desire to aim for. Packaging is in glass so it will not dry out as quickly as if it were stored in plastic container.


Last but not least some brush guards to protect my Sigma brushes when drying, traveling, or storing.
