Sigma Flat Top Kabuki F80 Review

After returning home from a terrible driving lesson a few days ago I found the postman had finished his rounds and laying on the table were a few bits of junk mail, bank statements.. and a thick yellow envelope.I'd been awaiting my Sigma brush for a few days and ripped it open in excitement! Inside everything was carefully packaged in tissue paper, a drawstring bag, plastic covers to keep the brush safe and there was also a little note...

Patented ingrediants made with innotive micro-color beads adjust to you exact skin tone upon application....

Mac Mineralize Blush in 'Dainty'

Tanning Routine

Step 1: Exfoliate:I always have a good old soak in the bath before I scrub so my fake tan comes off easily. I use exfoliating gloves that you can pick up from Superdrug for £2.99 and some Imperial Leather Foam Burst Shower Gel because it lathers up, smells really good and leaves my skin really soft.Step 2: Moisturize:I use the Body Shop Body Butter in Almond on my ankles, feet, hands, wrists, knees and elbows because it's a really rich...

Maybelline Stilletto Voluptuous Mascara

I've mentioned this mascara in my blog before but I thought it deserved a post purely dedicated to it.. I introduce to you Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous.I believe this retails for around £8 and I have been thoroughly impressed. It makes my lashes crazy long and seperates them at the same time while adding volume.. In some ways it reminds me of Benefit Bad Gal Masara but with a wetter formula that doesn't dry up so quickly.The brush...

It dries reallllly quickly, smells like paint, the bottle never seems to stay clean, hard to blend, looks orange on me, very drying.. the list could go on!Neutrogena Glow Sheers:Meant to be a tinted moisturiser but it offers no coverage...
