Sigma Brushes!

Hi everyone! So I'm back! I thought that I would have to be away longer due to my laptop being broken, but it seems alright now. Haha.

Anyway, so recently I got some Sigma brushes, and I have to say they are amazing! I love all of them! I'm pretty sure there are tons of reviews out there for these brushes, but it's true they are amazing brushes, and the reason being is because they are super comparable to MAC brushes. I don't have any of the full sized MAC brushes, but I have a travel set, and they are not that great at all. Anyway, so onto the pictures:

The brushes came in this pink brush roll.
And I got 13 brushes in total. 


The first brush is going to be the large powder brush. This brush is great for applying powder. I've used this brush to apply powder onto my face. I think this brush is too big to apply blush. And when I washed this brush I did notice some bleeding, but not much. And like a lot of big brushes it will shed but I didn't notice a lot of shedding. 
The next brush is the Duo Fiber brush. Now, I don't know about you guys, but you can tell this is probably my least favorite brush, because this brush sheds a lot! Like A LOT! It's kind of annoying, and scary. I think the reason is because the glue is coming apart from the hairs. I don't know, but you can kind of tell that the brush hairs are not even. 
The next brush is the angled brush. I love this brush! this brush is great for contour and for applying blush! This is one of my favorite brushes from this set. I just kind of wish the hairs weren't so scattered. 
The next brush is the foundation brush. Now already I can tell that this foundation brush is way softer than my ELF foundation brush, and the bristles don't scratch my face, when I use this brush.
This is the large concealer brush. I love this big concealer brush because it's pretty big, so it can get more with one swipe than with a smaller brush.
This was the whole reason I wanted this brush set! For this tapered blending brush! MAC has this exact same brush, and it costs a whole lot more, so when I saw that Sigma had a great dupe, I really wanted to check it out! And this brush lives up to it's reputation!
This one is the angled eyeshadow brush. This brush is great for applying color onto your crease! 
Next up I have a flat shader brush. This is like any other flat shader brush I own. Honestly, it's nothing special, but I think the hairs on this one is way softer than my MAC travel sized 239SE.
The next one, is going to be a smaller concealer brush. This one is great for gettting the edges of your lips, and for precise under eye concealer.
Next up, I have a pencil brush. I have the MAC one of this one as well, and honestly, the MAC one is way stiffer than the Sigma one.
Next I have the angled brush. I love this angled brush because it's smaller and not as wide as my other angled brushes, and when applying eyeliner with this brush it glides on smoothly! I also use this brush for my eyebrows.
The next one is the official eyeliner brush. I don't use this brush for eyeliner though, because the brush above, the angled brush, is the one I use for eyeliner. I use this one for lips.
The last brush I have here is the small sized tapered blending brush. I think this brush is great for travel because it's way smaller than my other brushes!
And that's basically a quick review of the Sigma brushes!

And I'm too lazy right now to edit and upload the video for the Sigma brushes, so maybe you guys will have to wait until next week to see it.

So around 2 weeks ago, my friend and I went to the Hello Kitty bus that stopped off in Tustin! There was a huge line. It was kind of annoying standing in line all day long, and then afterwards getting one small item! But it was fun and it was interesting to see all the different people there and the way that they displayed how they love Hello Kitty!

The official hello kitty bus! It was super cute and decked out! I kind of wished it wasn't so gloomy that day. 
They had 2 trucks and they were decked out in hello kitty! 
Was trying to take a picture of the small car, but people got in my way! 
Don't forget to enter my giveaway! :)

Room/Closet Tour? New items

Hi everyone! I've been asked on youtube a couple of times to do a room tour/closet tour. And I was wondering if any of you guys would like that as well? I wouldn't just post a video on here, I would post pictures and show you guys tips on how to keep your closet and room organized. Let me know in the comment section below!

So I went to Target the day after the mulberry collection debuted, and I picked up this purse! I've used it a couple times, and it's a pretty big purse! 

 Yeah, you can see the messy stuff in my purse! Haha. 
 My favorite part of my room now! I made the jewelry tree out of a couple branches, and I've put a lot of my jewelry on there! 

 Picture of me at graduation and a picture of me and my boyfriend. 
With flash.  

 My ring collection! :) 
 I went to the outlets in September, and Juicy Couture was having a awesome sale, which was basically 40% off any item. And I got these gorgeous rings for $20! What a steal! :D 
Recently, I've been painting my nails like crazy. Since I'm not working anymore, there's no restrictions on what I can paint my nails! My nails in Essie's nail polish! 
This is the color I have on my nails right now! I love glitter polish! 
 My bird Pikachu landed on my picture frame. What a silly bird! She makes me laugh! 
And a couple items, I picked up from the OC marketplace recently! I just had to pick up NYX's jumbo eye pencil in milk, it makes an amazing highlight color, and it blends really easily! And I picked up a NYX eyebrow pencil because they were super cheap! 
 That's all for now! I have a lot of new tutorials coming up, I'm just not sure how I'm suppose to post them up. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! :)

I want to see your blog, and review time! :)

Hi everyone! So I just figured out that a lot of people that follow my blog, don't comment, and I just want to let everyone know that you guys can comment whenever you want!

So to kick start this post, I want you guys out there, who want me to check out your blog, or follow you back, to comment on this post! That way I can get a better idea of who I am blogging to! So I am kind of curious to see what types of posts you guys want me to do. I have a lot of reviews, but I'm not sure if I want to write them out. And I have a lot of tutorials I want to write out as well!

Anyway, so it's been really hot here in Southern California for the last week or so, and I'm litterly DYING! Like no joke! It's so hot, that I don't want to film any videos, or take any pictures. I know right huh?! I know all your californians know what I am talking about! :(

So today, I am going to review a product that I recieved from buzzagent! I recieved this covergirl lash blast fusion mascara from buzzagent this week, and I tried it out. This is what it looks like when it's packaged. 
 This is what it looks like when it's taken out.

The wand is very cool looking! I think it's very cool, because it's purple, and it looks like there are two different sides to it. 
 This is what it looks like when I dipped it into the mascara. 
This is what my lashes look like without mascara, and just curled. 

 This is what the mascara does when applied to my lashes. 

I would give this  4/5 rating! I loved how this mascara made my lashes really nice and long, but after I curled my lashes, the mascara seemed to take away the curliness! But I will probably be using this mascara more now! 

I'm actually going to be doing a video on this product very soon! So stay tuned for that! :)

So this past weekend, my boyfriend and I went to LA! I love going to LA because sometimes I can find really good deals on good items, like the lashes below! I got these for $1.99 which is way cheap, and they come with their own glue. I usually don't use the glue that comes with lashes, because I love my Marukai glue way too much to try any other type of glue! haha. 
Up close picture of the lashes. I love criss cross lashes now! They look way pretty in real life, and when applied. :)
 This is what they look like when taken out of the package! I love these lashes! 



And in case you guys are wondering, the Silk'n Sensepil is sitting in the corner of my room. Lol! I haven't really touched it yet. The reason being is because I'm kind of scared to use it! I don't want it to burn my hair off, even though I've heard that it doesn't do that, I still am kind of freaked out, and I think it might do that! Haha.

So what kind of posts would you guys like to see more of? :)

Jill Stuart Haul

Hi everyone! It's been an extremely exhausting week for me! I've been going to my internship basically most of last week, and when I wasn't at my internship, I was doing stuff for the club, or hanging out with the boyfriend! Haha. Awwww... well that's the life of me!

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know, that I finally got the Jill Stuart products up! I know, it took me forever, but laziness, and tiredness doesn't help at all! Haha.


This is what the eyeshadow quads look like. I have the boxes, but they were slightly smashed up, due to my mom's luggage getting tossed around.
My mom had purchased for me two of the newest quads to the Jill Stuart collection. Which by the way, I'm super in love with! I haven't used them yet, because I think they are honestly way too pretty to use. But that's the way, I am whenever I get new makeup! This is 01 Cystal Eyes:
And my mom got me another quad. This one is equally as beautiful as 01. This is 02 eternal platinum:
And my mom was actually kind enough to pick me up 2 Jill Stuart Blushes. I believe the first one is 08. I can't remember the name of it though... And the second one is number 11.
 


And the last item, my mom had purchased for me was the Jill Stuart lipgloss. And of course it smells wonderful like everything else she makes.
My cousin actually buys a lot of makeup, and she bought two of these limited edition glitter necklace thingys a while ago, and I guess she gave them to me. As a token of being a good cousin or something! Haha. 

A closer look at the top of these gorgeous Jill Stuart glitter containers.
Anyway, I'm thinking about doing a giveaway about the glitter containers on my youtube channel. Because I really don't need two of them! Watch my youtube video of my Jill Stuart Haul.


And wait for it!

Haha, okay since I got that out of the way, I'm going to be going to Taiwan later this year!!! :D

I'm not going to mention any actual details, because it's not for sure yet, but I have 10 weeks to kill after school ends, so I might as well do something interesting for a while. And this weekend, I hung out Jessica, and we were talking about going to Taiwan, and I guess we thought it would be good if we went to Taiwan together. So it's still not official yet, but I'm still planning on going back to Taiwan. And my boyfriend will be going with me as well. So hopefully it will be fun! But I will keep you guys updated and we'll see how that goes.

On another note, I really want to lose some weight now, so I've decided to actually start walking a lot more now. I'm actually going to try to walk 4 miles at least 3 days a week. And gradually go up to 4 then 5 days. I'm planning on losing weight. And my dad and I went to Costco today and I bought a lot of tuna, so I'm planning on eating smaller portions and exercising. I know when it comes down to exercise I get too busy or too tired to actually do anything. But one of my good friends, actually lost a lot of weight since November. Which was really surprising to me, so I'm going to try out her method of eating smaller portions and exercising. Wish me luck!
