Sigma F20 Brush


I love my Real Techniques Brushes, but I've also heard so many good things about Sigma brushes, yet always thought they would've been hard to get in the UK, but then I found this site Love Beauty, was in need of a new powder brush, and the rest, as they say  was history.


The delivery was really quick, I ordered it on a Sunday and it had arrived on the Tuesday. It was packaged well and cost me £13.99 plus delivery. The brush is a paddle shape, which at first I didn't really like, but now I love. It still puffs out to help the powder blend it, and also if you turn it on the side it's really good for blending any harsh lines left from contouring.  

I'm seriously impressed with this brush and can see why Sigma carries such a good name. I definitely want to try more. I do have to say though that there have been instances of shedding, but nothing outrageous.

Do you use Sigma brushes? What do you think?

New FOTD

I've had a lot of different ideas of what to title this post, lazy day face, new face or everyday face. But it's not exactly something I do when feeling lazy, I don't have an 'everyday' face, so new face it was. My spending ban has been well and truly broken, and I wanted to show you some new products I have. Quite a lot of them have already been reviewed by lots of people so I thought I would just show you them in a FOTD.




So a mixture of old and new products, and I thought I would give a quick review of new products I'm trying:

MUA BB in Light - I bought this because I had read quite a lot of positive things about it, and it was only £3 (such good value!!) It doesn't give me enough coverage to wear it daily by itself, but I love using it as a primer, it really evens out my skin tone, and helps my foundations blend in and look more natural. For a more in-depth review check out Zoe's!

No7 Vital Enlightening Highlighter Powder - I love this product! I am so glad I bought it. It was the last one left and I got it for around £8 I think as I used my No.7 voucher, but would happily pay the £13 for it. It is such a lovely creamy powder, and a gorgeous golden tone to it, rather than a pinky tone that quite a lot of powder highlighters have. Hollie's review is really good!

Maybelline 24 Hour Tattoo - 35 - On and on Bronze - I don't need to say much more than, these bad boys are worth the hype! Check out Lily's review and Sophie's too!

Gosh Eyeliner in 015 Pure Natural - I really like having bright, and awake looking eyes, and find that white liner is slightly too obvious and over powering, and have been looking for a flesh toned liner for a while, I then found this. I really like it, I think it really opens up my eyes and as it's waterproof it stays put all day. That my friends, is what the call 'good times.'

Collection 200 Shimmer Shades - 2. Blushalicious - I had seen Lily blog about the bronzer shimmer shades, and then saw this in Boots, and wanted a shimmery blush for summer, it also looks great underneath my Benefit Hervana blusher to make it pop. It has a simple shimmer to it, and think it will give a lovely flush in the summer. 

So here it is on my face:


MUA BB
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Soap & Glory Trick and Treatment - Under Eyes
Rimmel Hide the Blemish - on Blemishes
Loreal True Match Powder
MUA Eyebrow Pencil
Maybelline Colour Tattoo
MUA Shade 20 eyeshadow - upper lash line
Gosh Eyeliner - Lower Water Line
No.7 Lash Adapt Mascara
Sleek Contour Palette Light - Bronzer as Contour
No.7 Highligther
Collection 2000 Shimer Shades
Belle Lipstick




What do you think of these products? Have you tried any of them?

If you would like more in-depth reviews just let me know!
