EOTD #7 Orange and Lime

Hey my loves,
Today I'll be sharing with yall my eye look from yesterday, in which I used the Covergirl Quad in Tropical Fusion that I showed you girls in my last haul. I promised I would do some eye looks with it, and this is the first of many (hopefully lol). I decided to go with a more subtle, everyday look by using the two lighter shades which are the Lime, Shrek-looking green and the Orange shade in the quad. Hope you enjoy! :)

Eyes:

What I used:
-Elf $1 Eye primer
-Lime Green on the far right-all over my lid
-Orange- in the crease
-Rimmel Max Volume Flash Mascara (Pepto Bismol Pink Tube)--believe it 
or not, this might be replacing my love for the Falsies...I'll do a review soon. :)
-Milani Liquifeye Liner in Black- In my waterlines

I forgot to take a picture of my lips but I was just wearing my go to nude which is Wet N Wilds Bare it All, which is somewhat of a darker nude. I love it! =>

Hope you liked. This is a very wearable look that isnt overpowering, but still pops with the colors. The quad was I believe around $4-5 at Target, if you're interested. I will be doing more looks with it, so look out for that. :)

Marshalls, Shoe Carnival, and Target HAUL!!! + an accidental update lol

Hello my beautiful ladies,
Long time, no blog....lol. Like I mentioned in my last post, school has kept me pretty busy and family as well. My maternal grandmother and my aunt (Mommy's sister) came into town for a couple days last weekend, and my other aunt (Dad's sister), my God brother/cousin and his wife have been here all week, so we've been spending extra time at my grandma's house with them. Not to mention Wednesdays are my study days for exams on Thursdays, and weekends are study days for my tests on Tuesdays, so I've been pretty busy, but it's okay. I like having things to do. No stress here. School is going awesome, I've gotten all As so far, so that's great and life has been going pretty great. But anyways, this wasn't meant to be another update lol...its actually meant to be a haul. Yup, another haul. I told you, I seriously have a problem, and don't even get me started, because when there are deals, I definitely have no self control lol. :)

So this week, I bought some stuff at Marshalls, Target, and Shoe Carnival...So I'll just tell you what I got and how much it was. :)

Marshalls:
I've been looking for some cute red shorts that werent too short
and these fit perfect. I don't have a big butt lol, so these
cover my tush really great and actually give it a nice shape
lol. These were $12.99...couldnt pass them up. :)
When I saw this shirt, I instantly loved it, I like the tribally,
Mexican inspired detail on it. It is so pretty on and its such a
pretty burnt orange color. The material is sheer, so I'll have to wear
a cami underneath. This was $14.99
Shoe Carnival:
A few months ago, I had seen these taupy green heels
at Shoe carnival for IDK $20-30, well today, they were on
clearance for $14 and IDK what kind of promotion they had
going on but I ended up getting them for a whopping $7...
Yup, $7 buckaroos lol. Tell me thats not a bargain. lol
Then I got these babies, I had been looking for some Tan
wedges and when I saw these I fell in love. The whole
reason I went to shoe carnival was to look for some Tan
wedges my friend LaBarbie0426 had posted on her twitter,
but they didnt have them, but they did have these and I fell
deep in love. These were originally $30, but they have
a friends and family event, where if you mention it at the
register, they give you 30% off, so I got these for $21...its kind
of like I got the taupe ones for free lol. Since these were
originally $30,  and I paid $30 for both. Lucky! I know.
Target:
I also spotted these shoes a couple months ago for
$25 at Target and you will never guess how much I got
these for a few days ago...A whopping, $6.24 on clearance.
What?! I know, I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the
tag. I felt like I was dreaming. They fit a little big around my
ankle, but I'll rock them anyways. lol.
I also stopped by the makeup section and picked up
Essie's Tart Deco (Beautiful Corally, baby orange)
Covergirl Quad in Tropical Fusion.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Coralberry (also something
that I discovered thanks to LaBarbie)
Lol, I know you girls are probably sick of me hauling, but when I buy new stuff, especially when I get it for great deals, I like to share it with you all, just in case, you might see something you like. Not to mention, hauls are so easy to do. Posting a picture, telling you how much it is and why I loved it, is super easy and fast, unlike when I review products and I have to tell you the good, the bad, the ugly, swatch, take pictures, etc. That sort of stuff is a little more time consuming, but I will be reviewing more stuff. I also want to get back into doing eye looks, especially when with that Quad by Maybelline, it has some really pretty colors.  So yup, thats about it, I hope you enjoyed the haul. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or requests, down below.

Sigma F80 Review!!!

Hello my lovely ladies,
Ahh, okay, so since it's Thursday night and I don't have to study or do homework right now because I don't have school tomorrow, I decided to sneak in some blogging time. Yay!!! lol.

So today, I have for you all my Sigma F80 review!!! As some of you may or may not know I won the Sigma F80 on Huda's Beauty Blog a few weeks back and I was thrilled, because I had been seriously dying to try it out. I've been trying it out for about 2 weeks, and I seriously adore it!!! It's the best brush I've ever owned...I obviously didn't purchase this, but man, if I would've known how amazing it works, I probably would've dished out the  $16 bucks for it a long time ago. Ahh, I just can't explain in words how amazing it truly really is. I don't know how I lived my makeup life without it. *sigh*


Price & Where to Purchase: This brush is available exclusively on Sigmabeauty.com for $16.00 which is not bad at all for the amazing and I mean amazing quality you'll get.

Packaging: This brush has some definite quality when it comes to packaging and how they built the brush. The handle is super sturdy, at least it seems that way. 
And the classic, sleek, black handle looks incredibly professional.
The bristles are perfectly densely packed for flawless application.
The writing on the brush is one of my favorite things about it too, it has like this color changing silver writing depending on how the light hits it. You can see it in the picture below.
The way it is packaged to be sent to you is amazing as well, it comes in a little red pouch with a pamphlet inside that tells you about the brush and other brushes in the same line.
 It also comes with a bristle shaper as I like to call it lol, and the handle comes wrapped 
as well with a plastic wrapper. 

How it worked: 
Well if you couldn't tell already by the way I've raved about it up to this point, then I'll repeat myself again, it works absolutely amazing!!! I've used it with cream (Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse), powder (PF Healthy Wear Powder Foundation) and liquid foundation (Maybelline Superstay) and it has applied all three flawlessly, which is one of the things it claims and one of the things that I simply cant get over. How can one brush, seriously apply three completely different products so perfectly??? I have no idea, but it does.
It applies my foundation so flawlessly, that my large pores even look a bit smaller afterwards. My skin's texture is completely different as well when I use this brush versus other ones, and it doesnt streak at all from what I've seen. Not to mention, it helps blend my foundation into my skin so well, that I don't have to sit there going over and over in circles trying to blend out the streaks and stuff. I seriously, take half the time applying foundation when I use this baby. 

Here are the three brushes that I've used to apply foundation:
Left to Right:
Sonia Kashuk Flat Top Brush (Travel Size)
Sigma F80
Studio Tools Travel Stippling Brush

Before I had any of the Flat Top brushes I applied foundation with the Studio Tools Stippling Brush, which let me tell you, is about the worst thing you could do. It seriously took forever to blend, it was way too streaky and it shed like crazy. I no longer really use this brush unless it is to apply creme blush sometimes. 
Here's how it looked when I applied my liquid foundation with the Studio Tools Brush
You honestly cant really tell from the picture, but it's super streaky
and I have little hairs from the brush that shed all over the area
where I used this brush. Stippling Brush is a NO NO for me. 
Most recently, I had only been using the Sonia Kashuk Flat Top, but being that its so small, it's just not ideal for full face makeup. It's nice to use to get into small crevices of the face like around the nose and around the eyes, but it just made my foundation a bit streaky because of what I believe was the size. I won't bash it, because for a long time I loved it and it was my go to brush. And I will continue to use it for other things, but I wouldnt recommend it for applying foundation because it will leave it just a little bit streaky.
Here's how it looked when I applied with the Sonia Kashuk Brush...
I'm not really sure if you can tell but this brush really applies
foundation really thick and cakey. I hadn't really noticed this
until I was comparing how the three brushes applied my
foundation. It's a little streaky too, but more thick than anything.
 Not using this brush for foundation again.
Finally, here's the Sigma F80 application. After comparing all three on my arm, I realized how truly spectacular this brush is. The foundation applied flawlessly and so quickly. No struggling to get it perfect, not to mention, that it didn't look thick or caked on. It looked very natural, but flawless.

I wanted to also include another picture of how the Sigma F80 and the Sonia Kashuk Flat Top applications compared side by side.
Sonia Kashuk on left
Sigma on right
Can you girls see how the one on the right looks less cakey and thick. I applied about the same amount of foundation to both brushes. The Sigma one looks blended out but flawlessly natural, while the Sonia Kashuk looks somewhat flawless, but thick, like I applied way too much, which trust me, I didn't.

Overall:
I give this brush a 5 out of 5. I have 0 complaints up to this point. It looks great, works great, and it has stole my heart lol.

Have you tried the Sigma F80? What are you're thought on it?
Leave them down below.

Would You Rather TAG 2011

Hey loves,
Today, I'm gonna do the Would You Rather Tag 2011 that I saw over on Huda's Blog and Vintage Makeup's Blog. If you don't follow these ladies, I'd highly suggest you do so. They both have incredible blogs and the sweetest personalities. :) But before I get into the Tag, I just wanna update you all on what's been going on.
I'm really sorry I've been MIA, I'm taking a Biology course over the summer and it's seriously a ton of work. It feels like I don't have no time at all. It's over 4 hours at school, then homework and studying. Dont get me wrong, I love my class, but it takes a lot of dedication. I just don't want you girls to think that I'm purposely neglecting my blog, it's not that at all. I also want to apologize for not commenting as much on your blogs, I do read them, I just feel like if I comment, I can't catch up with the rest of my favortie blogs lol. I'll try to get back into posting as soon as things calm down a little. It's just that right now, it's a little tough. It seems like for the past week I don't even have time for real life, outside of school, let alone keeping my blog up to date but I'm trying, that's why I decided to post this TAG. So I hope you girls enjoy...


1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses, OR lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
Honestly, I'd rather lose all of my eyeshadows and palettes, I don't typically wear eyeshadow on a daily basis anyway. Macara and eyeliner are a must for me though, they just really make me look more awake. If I could only wear two things, it'd be mascara and eyeliner so I cant give those up lol. 


2. Would you rather chop off all your hair, OR never be able to cut it again?
I rather not be able to cut it again, I just feel like my long hair is one of those things that makes me feel womanly. Besides, chopped off hair would not be a good look for me lol.


3. Would you rather have a coral cheek, OR a pink cheek?
I'll go with a pink cheek, since I dont believe I've tried a coral cheek. :)


4. If you had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Clothes! Without a doubt. I love clothes and I'd rather invest in clothes than in makeup since most of the time, I just wear eyeliner, mascara, powder and lip balm. 


5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, OR eyeliner as lipstick?
Definitely eyeliner as lipstick. Lipstick on my eyes just doesnt even sound like theres anyway you could make that look right lol.


6. Would you rather only shop Mac, OR Sephora?
Sephora....so much more variety. =>


7. Would you rather use only one eyeshadow color, OR one lip color for the rest of your life?
Probably one lip color....Fairest Nude to be exact lol.


8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer, OR summer clothes in the winter?
Ummm....summer clothes in the winter. It doesn't get too cold in the winter here. Sometimes, I can get away with wearing sandals in November lol.


9. Would you rather have dark nails, OR bright nails all year round?
Definitely bright nails...I love my neons, pastels, and bright shades. 


10. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail, OR a messy bun?
A probably a messy bun...it's just so chic and girlie.  


11. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again, OR never use lip gloss.
Never use lip gloss...I hate lipgloss sometimes. It can be annoying because its sticky and if its windy, you're hair can get stuck to it. Besides if you've got a good lipstick that's moisturizing, you don't even need a lip gloss. Not to mention, I could never live without painting my nails.


12. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all, OR sharpie them in every day?
Definitely sharpie them, are you joking. If I walk around with no eybrows, I'll look like I'm dying. I'm pale as it is, without eyebrows, I'll just look crazy. lol


13. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
I love both, but I rather live without nail polish. I can't let go of my makeup. It's a necessity to cover my acne scars, my dark circles, and to make me look alive. I can't walk around scaring people lol.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this. I tag all of you to do it, if you haven't done so already. Now, it's time to go to bed, I have class early and I have an exam.

Birthday Gifts!!!

Hey loves,
As some of you may remember, my birthday was about two weeks ago. Now, I was debating whether to show you girls what I got for my birthday or not, because, I don't want anyone to take it as bragging or anything, but I decided to go ahead with it anyways, after all, it's my blog and I can share what I want. Most of my followers probably know by now, that I am not one to brag, if there's anything I take pride in, is being a humble human being. God gives to us, but he can take everything away, so I don't walk around like I'm better than anybody else. I say this because I've encountered people/ex friends that are like that. If you have something, they want to get something better than that, if you do something, they wanna do it better than you. It's not a competition. Why cant we just be happy for one another, instead of trying to always outdo each other. Anyways, this isn't what this post is supposed to be about lol. So let's get this show on the road.

My birthday was on 4th of July, I turned 21, woohoo! lol.

I didn't really get much for my birthday though, which doesn't bother me at all. I don't really care about getting gifts. Yeah, they make me happy and they're nice to get, but am I gonna get mad, if someone doesn't give me a present? Absolutely not. 

My grandma, my uncle, and three of my aunts, oh and two of my big brothers gave me money. I forgot how much I got in total lol. But it was a nice amount. I appreciate it very much.
I actually got a little more than what is pictured, but it was in hiding
 lol I like to save my money, but sometimes it can be hard so I hide
it from myself lol and get all happy when I find it, like 2 yrs later lol
My best friend Jessica, gave me this really pretty silver ring with my birthstone in the middle.
Lol, it was funny, she came over with her bf in the morning on my birthday and gave me my ring.
Later on that night we were txting and I told her, "I'm really liking my ring." She was like "Yea, I was gonna propose, but I thought that the timing was inappropriate, you know, since Jr. [her bf] was right there." I started laughing out loud. I was like "You're so gay Boo. But you totally should've done it, I would've totally said yes lol." Then I told my boyfriend about our little txting convo and he was like "Ya'll are so dumb." I was like "Yup, that's the kind of conversations we have. Really random and gay ones."
Just to clarify, I am not trying to be offensive to gays/lesbians. You all are awesome and I love everybody. Except for killers, rapists, and mean people. lol. Most of you don't fit my criteria lol.

The BF bought us tickets to the Mana concert (Mexican Rock Band) and a cookie cake which was so yummy, I loved it. He also took me to go watch Transformers 3, which was so good, and he took me to Kemah the weekend after my birthday, and out to eat and to buy my first drink lol. I have a few pictures from the concert and from kemah, I'll share those in another post maybe. :)

Red, white and Blue since my birthday was on 4th of July.
Concert Tickets. =>
 I don't have a picture of the Yummy chocolate cake with sprinkles my nephew made me with the help of his parents, but it was so gooooood....they brought ice cream over too, so we ate the chocolate cake with ice cream. YUM!!! Oh and he also made me a cute Happy Birthday Card. I love my munchkin so much. He's awesome. lol

My aunts also made me a yummy cheesecake, which is also not pictured. Sorry, but I didn't think about taking pictures of the cakes before I eat them lol. Well except my cookie cake. lol.

My cousin which had never given me anything before for my birthday, actually brought me some stuff a few days after my birthday, which was quite surprising. The shirt she gave me was included in my last haul. We used to be super close when we were younger (she's 3 yrs older), she used to be like my freakin sister, but then we had a falling out. Well really, what had happened was, she got too busy with her boyfriend, school, and work that she kind of started forgetting she had a little cousin that lived next door. But it was also her personality, you see, she's very bossy and likes to push people around and that was okay when I was like 5, 10 and 13, but as I got older, I've learned to stand up for myself, and I don't think she liked that very much. She's also one of those people that really doesn't show any emotion or affection and I don't like that. It's like why do you have to be so cold with everybody, don't you have a heart? lol. IDK, sorry, I guess I'm just venting, because I wish we could be as close as we used to be, but I don't know if that'll ever happen. Whatevs!

My Daddy, hadn't decided what he wanted to give me for my birthday, so he actually didn't give me anything lol. That is...up until my almost 4-5 yr. old boo legged LG Chocolate stopped working an hour after my birthday was over lol. The day after my birthday, he gave me money to buy an Iphone, well half the money, I put up the other half from my birthday money. I was so happy! After years of being embarrassed of my old, ghetto phone with a different color battery, I finally jumped on the Iphone bandwagon.

I got the White one, I always wanted the White one. :)
Lol, that's pretty much it. Now that I've posted everything, I actually did get quite a bit of stuff for my birthday. I'm very thankful to have so many people that love me. I love my family, my friends, and my boyfriend very very much, and I am more than lucky, I am truly blessed to have them in my life. I don't know what I'd do without them. Besides the birthday presents, I got tons of Happy Birthday txts and calls. I also wanna say thank you very much to all the sweet girls that wished me a happy birthday here on my blog. You all are just too kind. Oooh and Starbucks sent me a card in the mail for any free drink and I got an email from this wings place for a free Brownie Sundae Supreme or something like that lol. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this, Sorry I rambled on so much lol. Sometimes, I just have a lot to say lol.

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in Translucent Review

Hey ladies and gentlemen (if there's any of you out there reading this lol),
Today, I have decided to share with you all a review on the
Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in Translucent

Price & Availability:
Drugstores, Walmart, Target for anywhere between $12.99-15.99 (trust me, you can find this on sale often at CVS for quite a bit cheaper).


This powder claims to:
Happy Boost your mood and give you a nice healthy, happy glow.
It also claims to be Paraben free, non comodogenic, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist approved. 

Uses:
-I've found it can be used as an all over face powder.
-A blush (according to PF).
-And a highlighter (according to me lol).

Smell:
It has a light violet smell which according to the packaging above, 
"provides a feeling of joy each time you apply" 
To be honest, the smell is very light, if you sniff the powder you can smell it but once its on your face, you cant. It's actually quite pleasant in my opinion. :)

Packaging:
-Comes with a good size mirror on the bottom half and a cute pink and red brush(which is pretty much useless).
 -The packaging is a shiny, red mirrored plastic and a clear plastic lid.
-The actual powder is  a ton of hearts over lapping in different shades of beige and one little pink heart.

As far as my thoughts on the actual product:
-I've been using it for quite a while and the hearts haven't disappeared and become just a bunch of beige shades mixed together. 
-It works great as a highlighter because the shimmer is so finely milled and the formulation isn't super powdery or glittery. I've applied it on the bridge of my nose and on top of my cheeks and it blends nicely without looking like a stark line of shimmery white powder or like a whole bunch of glitter.
-As an all over face powder, it worked well for me. It added shimmer to my face, but it wasn't super noticeable or anything.
-As a blush, I wouldn't recommend, the tiny pink heart isn't pink enough to add any noticeable flush to your cheeks, for that you're better off buying the Happy Booster Blushes.
-It didn't break me out.
-I actually do feel like I'm happier when I wear this, but this might just be my brain tricking me into thinking "Oh well I'm wearing the Happy Booster Powder, let's act happy." lol. Who Knows?

Swatch:
L-R
Pink heart alone
All the shades together
All the shades together blended out.
As you can see, the swatches aren't glitter, just glowy and shimmery.

Final thoughts:
-It adds a nice glow to my face when applied as a powder or highlighter.
-I don't think it's necessarily worth paying $12-16 for it, so in that sense, I wouldn't recommend it.
-It's nice, but it's nothing super special or different. You could probably find a cheaper powder highlighter or shimmery powder.
-If you're going to wear it alone, it doesn't have much coverage at all.

Would I recommend? Yes, if you get it on sale and would like a nice powder highlighter.
But no, for the regular price.

Hope you enjoyed this review. If you've tried this product, leave your thoughts down below.
Different things work for different people. We all have different complections, skin types, and 
needs, so what works for me, may have not worked for you. Leave feedback, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Small Clothing Haul featuring lots of Stripes lol.

Hey ladies,
I haven't hauled in what seems like forever (sorry, if it hasn't been that long, but to me, shopping is my therapy, and if I don't do it for a week or two, it seems like a lifetime lol.), but today I just have a small clothing haul, just a few things I bought at Ross, Marshalls, and a shirt from Forever21 that my cousin gave me for my birthday.

At Ross I picked up 2 shirts and a maxi dress:
 This neon orange shirt was love at first sight, I think I'll literally blind people when I walk by lol. It's absolutely gorgeous and it fit great, not too tight and not super loose. It was $5.99 or $6.99, don't remember exactly. Sorry. >.<
 Yet another neon shirt, lol,. When I first saw it, I was skeptical about it because its a cropped top (I'm not the thinnest girl and trust me, I refuse to show my belly in public lol), but the neon got me and it wasn't super short either. I'm thinking about buying some type of under shirt for it, and I will be wearing this as an off the shoulder top. I believe this one was $7.99
Then I saw this blackish grey and white striped maxi dress and I fell in love. I love that the stripes are small at the top and larger in the middle and medium at the bottom (atleast I think they get a little smaller toward the bottom, maybe I'm crazy lol).  When I tried it on, I was like YAY!!! I only own 2 maxi dresses and this one makes 3, I think I'ma belt it, not sure yet. This one I believe was $12.99

Then I headed over to Marshalls down the street and bought a shirt (I didn't even go there to buy clothes, but I sure did walk out with a shirt lol):
 I bought this really cute black and cream striped top. The material is really flowy and airy. And I loved the stripes being all different sizes and going in different directions. I also loved that it didn't make me look super fat, I hate when shirts do that to me. lol. This one I believe was $12.99, which is a little more expensive than the others, but Marshalls is always a little bit more expensive then Ross, no surprise there. lol
Here's the back, it has vertical stripes. I love it.

Then, a couple days after my birthday my cousin (who's actually never given me anything for my birthday before lol, wonder what got into her this year lol. Regardless, I still appreciate it) brought me a little gift including this shirt and a couple other things. It's from Forever 21...
I must admit, at first when I pulled this shirt out, I looked at it a little crazy, it seemed cute, but I couldn't understand why it was asymmetrical at the bottom, it looked weird, but then once I tried it on, I realized it was meant to go off the shoulder and that the bottom evens out because it fits a little tighter and the lines go horizontal, while the top remains flowy and diagnol. Everything made sense then lol. 

Well that's pretty much it girls, I told you it was small. I really love everything I got and excuse the fact that you can see my Minnie Mouse pillow in the corner in some shots, I took these on the bed lol. I hadn't noticed that everything I got was striped, except for one thing. lol. I should call this a striped small clothing haul lol. 

What have you hauled lately?
Let me know down below.

EOTD #6- Blues and Greens


Hey my loves,
Today I have yet another, EOTD, my sixth one to be exact. I'm trying to use color, rather than always sticking to my neutrals, don't get me wrong, neutrals are always going to be number one in my heart, after all, they go with anything, but color can be so fun. lol. Today I decided to incorporate, two shades of green with a shade of blue. So let's begin with the eye look...

Eyes:

What I used:
-Clinique Sparkling Sage (It's kind of a light, lime green frost)
Inner third of my eyelid

-NYX For Your Eyes Only Mysterious Brown Eyes Palette (The green again lol)
Middle third of my eyelid

-The Blue from the palette below (Don't know the brand, but its a deep shimmery sapphire blueish shade)
Outer third of my eyelid and into the crease

-Then I just applied the Falsies Black Drama Mascara and Milani Liquifeye Liner in my waterline.

Lips:
Sorry it's so blurry, didn't realize it until I uploaded it.

What I used:
-Revlon Pink Pout Lipstick

-Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Lilac Pastelle

Hope you liked this blueish green eye look.
Oooh and quick question, I'm in the process of purchasing more colorful eye shadows from the drugstore, which brands would you girls recommend? Wet N Wild, Maybelline, etc. Be specific, I'd love to hear your opinion. (Obviously, that's why I asked lol)

Yay!!!

Hey ladies,
Recently I won two giveaways, and I want to first off, say thank you  to the two beautiful and amazing ladies that hosted the giveaways Danielle from Sweet As Honey and Huda from Huda's Beauty Blog. Thank you ladies for the two amazing prizes. I can't even explain to you girls how happy it made me to have won these prizes, I have entered many giveaways, but these are the first 2 prizes I've won, so thank you so so much. I literally screamed when I found out I won. I also wanna thank Sigma, because they hosted Huda's giveaway. Thanks Sigma. 

Both prizes came in a matter of about 3 days I believe, which is quite fast if you ask me. And they were both packaged nicely with bubble wrap in a nice sturdy box and arrived safely in my mail.

Over on Danielle's Blog, I won the Sonia Kashuk Creme Blush in Petal, which is a gorgeous pink that gives my skin a beautiful flush. I cannot even explain to you how gorgeous it looks. I love it. I'm thinking about posting a review soon, but if you're interested in one now, go check out Danielle's review on it here.

She included this really sweet letter saying thank you for
supporting her blog. :)
And on my wonderful friend Huda's Blog, I won the Sigma F80, which I've been dying to try out. I haven't tried this one out yet because I actually just received it like an hour ago in the mail lol. But the bristles are so soft. This is definitely the nicest brush I own. It's my first Sigma brush too. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow and I will be reviewing it, if you want a review now, check out Huda's review here. 

It came in this cute little red pouch with a  Sigma pamphlet.
And it had plastic on the handle and the bristle shaper (or
whatever its called lol)
I love the writing on it, it's changes color depending on how
the light hits it.
And Sigma included this cute, Congratulations card,
I love the message.

So once again, I wanna say thank you so much to Danielle, Huda, and Sigma. I still can't believe I won these two prizes, and I literally can't wait to share my opinion with you all once I've tried these products out more extensively. If you haven't checked out out Danielle or Huda, you definitely should. 

xoxo,
