MAY BEAUTY FAVORITES: COLOURPOP COSMETICS, SIGMA BEAUTY, YVES SAINT LAURENT & MORE

Can you believe that May is almost over? Where has the time gone? I feel like I say that every month, but it's the truth. June is heading our way, which I'm super excited about. June is my favorite month of the year! It's not only because it's my birthday month, (eeeek, I'm going to be 27 soon) but that's also when it finally starts to feel like Summer outside. I can't wait to walk around in crop tops and dresses again. It's going to be just like heaven! But I won't ramble on anymore, let's get into my May beauty favorites! :-)

Sigma Beauty F05, F35 & Dry'N Shape

When it comes to makeup brushes, Sigma Beauty is my favorite brand. The quality of their brushes are fantastic and they are actually pretty affordable compared to other brands that I have tried.

I do own a few high-end brushes and to be honest, I dont use them anymore since I discovered Sigma. I prefer my Sigma brushes because they do the same job as any high-end brushes out there and that just proves that you dont have to go out and buy really expensive brushes to get a flawless makeup application. I dont want to spend that much money on just one brush when I know that Sigma makes brushes that are just as good,if not better and you can get a complete kit for the price of just a few high-end brushes :)


♥ Small Contour - F05.


♥ Tapered Highlighter - F35.




♥ The Dry 'N Shape. 

Im so happy that I managed to get my hands on the Small Contour F05 and the Tapered Highlighter F35 brush. They just came back on Sigma's website after being out of stock for quite some time. I have no idea why I haven't picked up these brushes sooner, so happy they are available again. You can find the Small Contour F05 brush here and the Tapered Highlighter F35 brush here.

I have heard so many positive things about the Dry 'N Shape so I finally decided to just pick it up and give it a try. Cleaning my brushes is something that im not a big fan of doing and I get tired of waiting for my brushes to dry so I can use them again. The Dry 'N Shape is supposed to dry and shape the brushes within 4-6 hours. Im super excited about trying out this product and from what I have heard, it lives up to the expectations :) You can find the Dry 'N Shape here.

Whats your favorite Sigma brush? Have you tried the Dry 'N Shape? :)
Thanks for looking :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Sigma Beauty Synthetic Precision Kit

Today, I picked up the Sigma Beauty Synthetic Precision kit that I ordered from Sigma Beauty around 1-2 weeks ago. I have heard wonderful things about all the brushes in this kit.

In this kit you get the Precision Flat brush - P80, Precision Round brush - P82, Precision Angled brush - P84 and the Precision Tapered brush - P86. These brushes are developed to mimic your fingertips when applying makeup on the most sensitive and precise areas of the face. I always use my fingers to apply my eyeshadow primers and concealers but sometimes that can get messy so Im really excited to give these brushes a try :)

♥ Sigma Beauty Synthetic Precision Kit.

Im a big fan of Sigma's F80 (its the bigger version of the P80) brush from their Sigmax brush line. Its one of my favorite brushes and I use it to apply my liquid foundation. If you haven't tried it out yet, I highly recommend it, you can find it here. The Synthetic Precision Kit can be found here.

Have you tried any of the brushes in the Synthetic Precision Kit? What do you think about them? :) Xoxo, Christine♥

The Dare palette has a perfect mix off vibrant and neutral colors with warm and cool tones. This palette contains neutral corals, deep reds, a yellow and also golds. You can create colorful looks and also more wearable looks with this palette. Like the other two palettes Bare and Flare, you get an exclusive dual-ended brush with Sigma Beauty's best-selling E20 and E45.

Sigma Beauty: Flare Palette

Sigma Beauty recently released their new makeup line including three new palettes called Bare, Flare and Dare. I ordered all three off the palettes because I found it really difficult to choose just one off them, I know I have a serious makeup addiction. Im sharing the Flare palette with you tonight, hope you enjoy my post :)

♥ The Flare Palette:











♥ L-R: Crush, Oversee, Define, Publicize, Resist, Gossip, Allure & Beware.

The Flare palette contains a beautiful combination off greens, purples, browns and beiges which are perfect colors to use to create fun, flirty and colorful looks. If you like to play around with colors, this is definitely the right Sigma palette for you. Like the Bare and Dare palette, you also get two brushes and those are Sigma Beauty's best-selling E55 and E40 in a practical dual-ended brush. The E55 which is an eye shading brush is my favorite brush to use to apply my eyeshadows with, I use it everyday and I love it.

Sigma Beauty: Bare Palette

Sigma Beauty recently released their new makeup line including three new palettes called Bare, Flare and Dare. I ordered all three off the palettes because I found it really difficult to choose just one off them, haha I know I have a serious makeup addiction ;)

I want to start by showing you the Bare palette and swatches off the colors. Since I dont want the post to get extremely long, Im doing three separate posts :)

The Bare Palette:











♥ L-R: Shine, Control, Snoop, Hitch, Act, Command, Elope & Approach.

The Bare palette is a perfect everyday palette and If you are a big fan of neutral eye shadows like I am, you will love this. You can create classic neutral looks and you can easily create a day and a night look with the colors inside off this palette. You also get Sigma's best-selling E30 and E25 in a unique dual-ended brush. The E25 is one off my all time favorite brushes by Sigma, its a must have in my opinion. The packaging is very similar to the NAKED palette by Urban Decay which I also love :)

Review: Miss Taylor Hollywood Glamour Flat Top Retractable Kabuki

About the product:
Get some Hollywood Glamour! The Sigma Makeup retractable flat top kabuki is the easiest way to apply powder products such as blush, bronzer, foundation, and highlighter on-the-go. Practical and classy, the Hollywood Glamour collection is a must! Featuring the SigMax fiber for high definition application.






My Opinion:
This is definitely one of my favorite brushes by Sigma Beauty. Its such a multi-purpose product which can be used to apply your foundation, blush, bronzer and highlighter. I love using this for either my foundation or blush, I find that it works wonders and I love the finish it gives me.

This is also one of the softest brushes that I own. I really love the quality of the Sigma Beauty brushes. If you remember to take good care of them, they are going to be your best friend for years to come. I find the brushes by Sigma Beauty to be just as good as the brushes by MAC Cosmetics, they are also more afforable than MAC which is great if you love to save money.

I really love the packaging of this product, purple is one of my favorite colors and this is just adorable. I love it when products have cute packaging, it might be the reason why I buy it, so this definitely gets A++ from me ^^ This only comes in the shade purple.

You can get the Flat Top Retractable Kabuki brush here.

The Lipbalm & The Makeup Bag

♥ The Hello Kitty lipbalms are some of my favorites. They always have the best smell, they leave your lips feeling very moistuised and the packaging is super adorable too. I always carry a few lipbalms in my handbag because i hate the feeling of dry lips and they are just nice to have just in case you need them. I have to say that im pretty addicted to lipbalms haha, cant get enough of them :)


♥ I really like that this makeup bag has a zebra inspired print but its clear at the same time. Since this is a big bag, it can hold a lot of stuff which is great if you like taking a lot of products with you (which I always do, i actually take too much with me haha). I will probably use this for my skin care products: This actually holds my Sigma Beauty cleansing and polishing tool which is pretty amazing considering that the box it comes in is pretty big. Would you be interested in seeing a skin care rutine post? Let me know in the comments :)

Do you carry lipbalms in your handbag as well?
