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.

Thanks for looking :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Benefit Cosmetics: Hervana & Erase Paste [With Swatches]

In the beginning of February, I placed my very first order from Benefit Cosmetics and my package finally arrived today. I have only tried a few of their products and so far Im very impressed with the quality :)

I ordered the the Hervana blush which I have heard wonderful things about and the Erase Paste in Fair. I also got two free samples with my order, the Stay Don't Stray Primer and the Hello Flawless custom powder cover-up with SPF 15. Scroll down below to see swatches of both products :)


♥ When I opened up my package, I completely fell in love with how everything was wrapped up, the wrapping paper is so adorable. Im such a sucker for cute and girly packaging :)






♥ Hervana Blush.




♥ Erase Paste in Fair.

I also got a little book with information about some of Benefit's products and I have already looked through it and found some products that I want to try out. I really want to try more of their blushes because all of them look so pretty. Their products are definitely more on the pricey side and the shipping can be a little expensive, depending on what country you are from so keep that in mind if you are thinking about placing an order :)

Which blushes from Benefit do you recommend? :) Xoxo, Christine♥

The Body Shop, Rimmel London, Ardell & Lindex

Yesterday I went to the mall with my mom to look for a Valentine's Day gift for Simon. Its always so difficult to pick out something for him because he is one of those people that have everything so it can be quite the challenge. But I managed to find something that I think he is going to like a lot :)

My mom and I decided to check out Lindex which is a store we haven't been to in years. Lindex used to be a store that did not appeal to me at all but they have definitely improved a lot and now I can actually find clothes and accessories that I like and want to buy. I checked out their makeup products and guess which brand I saw? Rimmel London!!! Its one of those brands that I have been wanting to try out for the longest time. If I knew that Lindex sold Rimmel London, I would have gone before. Guess who is going to be a regular costumer from now on? Yep you guessed right, its me :)

Here are the products I picked up from Lindex! :)


♥ The Body Shop Vanilla Body Lotion.




♥ Rimmel London Glam Eyes HD in English Oak.


♥ Kate Moss for Rimmel London Lipstick in 08.


♥ Rimmel London Lycra Pro Nail Polish in Peppermint.


♥ Ardell False Eyelashes in 301.


♥ Lindex Nail Polish Remover.


♥ Lindex Hair Brush.

Which product from Rimmel London do you recommend? :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Product Review: Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream

A good hand cream is something that I always have to have in my handbag. The winters here in Norway are really cold so my hands will get dry and chapped if I dont use one and that can be very painful sometimes.

I picked up the Hand Food Hand Cream by Soap & Glory a while ago and its been my go-to hand cream. It is a  non-greasy hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow. I really love how soft and smooth it makes my hands feel and it absorbs so quickly into the skin leaving it non-greasy which I love. Im completely obsessed with the smell of this hand cream. The scent stays on the skin for a long time but its quite powerful so if you dont like that this might not be the right hand cream for you.









This is definitely the best, inexpensive hand cream that I have tried. I have almost used up this tube so I need to head out and pick up another one. This is the 50ml tube which is the smallest one available and its the perfect size for any handbag (same size as my Iphone).

This hand cream also comes in bigger bottles as well. I do have a 250ml bottle sitting in our bathroom which I use after washing my hands, its a life saver for dry hands. Wouldn't it be awesome if Soap & Glory released a body spray that smells just like this hand cream? I would definitely buy it :)

Where to buy?
You can find this product at Boots & Sephora. Check out Soap & Glory's website for more information as well :)

Rating: 5/5
 
Do you have a favorite hand cream? :) Xoxo, Christine♥
