Sigma Brushes

SS150 Large Powder Brush


What makes a great powder brush? Soft dense fluffy fibers combined with good powder pick-up ability! All of this applies to Sigma Powder Brush. SS150 applies powder evenly and makes it appear natural and almost invisible. The brush is big and feels nice in the hand. You can also use it to apply blush.

SS190 Foundation Brush


Love this brush! Even though the bristles are firm, the brush is extremely soft and mild to your skin! It has a tapered shape, is thick but flat and is perfect not only for all-over application but also to access and apply foundation on the narrow areas around nose, mouth and eyes. Applies and blends foundation (and concealer!) without streaks. You can build coverage up or blend out any lines with this brush easily.

SS187 Duo Fiber Brush


Also referred to as a stippling brush. This brush features 2 length soft bristles and has a dual application. You can use it to apply liquid foundation or blush. I use it mainly for blush. SS187 Duo Fiber Brush picks up just the right amount of blush, distributes color evenly, buffs it in and diffuses the powder blush very nicely. The result looks very natural! I tried applying illuminating powder with it but, in my opinion, it is too fluffy for this.

SS168 Large Angled Contour Brush


This brush features angled shape and soft thick bristles. It is quite fluffy and due to this and porous goat fibers, it picks up color very well. You can use SS168 for contouring your face or to apply blush. This brush easily creates the right shadow in the right place and is great not only to apply but to blend and smooth out any seams.

SS194 Concealer Brush


This brush is flat, slightly tapered and has firm bristles which is great for precise application! Bristles are mild to the skin and do not scratch or tug. SS194 makes conceler glide smoothly and is great for under eyes application. Sigma Concealer Brush is also convenient for targeted coverage of certain skin imperfections (acne, scars) and expression lines.

They’re not yet on the brand website, but Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens have been popping up in random Walgreens stores and generating quite a buzz. Available in 8 colors (white, black, light pink, hot pink, blue, red, silver and gold), these markers are $7.99 each and make nail art a breeze, thanks to the water-based formula.


Embrace your inner polish Picasso and doodle all over your manicure. Mistakes can be easily corrected with a moist Q-tip and some patience. But because the formula is water-based, you must seal your manicure masterpiece with a top coat - or all of your hard work will have been for naught.

So keep your eyes peeled next time you’re at the drugstore or supermarket. And if you live/work near a Walgreens, by all means start your sleuthing there. I’m hoping to get my hands on these stylos, so expect a formal review soon!

Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara

Tried & Tested: Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara

Clinique introduced their new High Impact Curling Mascara on the 1st of February and I had the privilege of testing out the product. The mascara uses thermal technology which provides a smooth, thin film that when dry , holds the curl in place. It also uses a new brush applicator which is curved and specifically designed to curl the lashes. I love innovative products so was definitely excited about trying it out.

Initially I was a bit sceptical as the brush was quite thin and I am a regular user of the massive, chunky mascara brushes which produce a lot of volume. The first time I used the mascara I did as the instructions told me which was to scoop lashes in the curve of the brush before flipping the brush over and using that side to hold the curl in place for a few seconds. However the next day I tried it a different way and I much preferred it- instead of scooping lashes in the curve I flipped the brush over and coated my lashes this way which meant that my lashes were coated and curled at the same time.

Despite my reservations over the thin brush, I was really impressed by how the mascara left the lashes separated, lengthened and covered with a glossy thick black colour. It also did deliver the claim of creating a good curl. If a few coats were applied then the curling mascara could create a truly dramatic effect. I also liked how the mascara didn’t clump or smudge which is sometimes a problem with the voluminous mascaras.

My only criticism of the product would be that it does claim to be easily removable with warm water however I did need a eye make-up remover.

To prepare, cut nails using a fingernail clipper to ideal length then shape nails with an emery board. Remember to cut straight across. File away rough edges so the tips are smooth and round.
