I really like this foundation! It went on smoothly, matched my skin color perfectly, and lasted a long time. I also like that it even has SPF 20 in it. My face didn't get greasy, it didn't melt off my face, and it gave me great coverage. I wore this to a dinner and my friends took some pictures. When I saw the pictures, I was impressed by how flawless my skin looked. I didn't even use primer and the coverage was very even. I still needed to use a bit of concealer in various areas, but I used a lot less than I usually need. I definitely recommend this foundation!

I bought this in the waterproof formula because waterproof mascaras don't tend to uncurl my lashes like washable mascaras do. The brush is a bit big. I wish it was smaller. I wish it had a small brush like the Maybelline Lash Discovery brush. Then I think it would be great. It did extend my lashes, but it was also very clumpy. I think I should put on my regular mascara (Lash Discovery) and then layer it with this mascara. I'll just try to take off as much excess mascara as I can and then apply. Then I think it might be better.

I waited a long time before I decided to spend the money on Sigma brushes. I was thinking of getting the cheap brushes I've seen on a certain site. Brushes are brushes, right? How much better could these be from the cheap brushes? Well, I found out. I've been using some cheap brushes along with one MAC brush and a few Sephora brushes. I have to say that these Sigma brushes are so much better! They're soft, yet sturdy. When I got the brushes, I was so excited. When I felt them, they were so incredibly soft. I almost didn't want to wash the brushes because then I'd have to wait a day before using them. But I did wash them and they feel even softer! All my other eyeshadow brushes are either too soft or too firm. These are just right. Eyeshadows go on so smoothly, as opposed to my other brushes that make eyeshadow all blotchy and weird. The angled brush makes blush look so natural. I have another cheap angled brush that I bought at a drugstore and that leaves my cheeks looking blotchy and unnatural. I thought it was the blush, but it was the brush all along! I totally see the difference between my cheap brushes and these Sigma brushes. I also have to say that I prefer the Sigma powder brush to my MAC powder brush. My MAC powder brush feels way too stiff and rough. The Sigma brush is so soft. I love that the brush set comes with an instruction manual. While the numbers of the brushes in the pamphlet aren't the same as the numbers on the brushes, it comes with pictures so you know which brush they're talking about. The brushes are also labeled, so that helps as well. So if you're debating on whether or not you should spend the extra money on these brushes, I say go for it! In actuality, they're really not expensive if you calculate the cost per brush. You also have to factor in the brush roll. Some places charge a lot of money for these empty brush rolls, so it's really a bonus having one that comes with this set. If you get cheap brushes, then you're just going to have to replace them fairly quickly because of the poor quality. You're just going to wind up spending more money because of that. You think you're saving money by buying cheaply made brushes, but in reality you're wasting money. If you take care good care of these brushes, they'll last a very long time. It's a great investment! This brush set has just about everything you need. I totally recommend it!

I have really hard to curl lashes and mascaras tend to uncurl my lashes. I've learned that waterproof mascaras don't weigh down my lashes as much, so I got The Colossal Mascara in the waterproof formula. Well, it didn't weigh down my lashes. That's a plus. It did clump a little. My lash comb fixed that. I just need to make sure I wipe off the excess mascara before applying. My main concern with this mascara is that it smudges. It smudges below my lower lashes and it makes me look a little sloppy. I have to look in a mirror often to see if the mascara smudged. If it didn't smudge, I would give it a higher rating. I like that it doesn't uncurl my lashes, so I think I'll stick with this mascara.

After finding out that Shu Uemura was no longer available in the states, I had to find a replacement for my Shu Uemura eyelash curler. I looked on Sephora's website and there were really good reviews for the Shiseido eyelash curler. Unfortunately there weren't any in stock and you can only get it online. I went to Sephora and one of the girls there recommended this Tweezerman curler. She said it was a similar design as the Shu Uemura curlers, but the Tweezerman opened up more widely so that it can reach the lashes on the outer corner of your eye. I thought that sounded great and I purchased it. Well, I'm disappointed. I'm Asian and I have very straight lashes that go straight down. They're very hard to curl. I really liked how wide it opened and grabbed all my lashes, but the darn thing didn't curl my lashes at all! I tried so many times and I even lost a couple of lashes in the process! Horrible! It even costs more than the Shu Uemura curler! What a let down. I guess I'm just going to have to wait for the Shiseido curler to come back in stock or find it someplace else. This Tweezerman curler just did not work for me, at all.

This fragrance smells so nice. It's sweet and fruity, but not sickeningly so. It kind of reminds me of an Escada fragrance, Sunset Heat. Obviously they're not the same, but it's no wonder I love this fragrance. I love Escada fragrances! This is a light fragrance that isn't overpowering. I just feel happy whenever I wear this. It's so mood-enhancing. It's a light and happy fragrance!

Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Washable Mascara
I Prefer the Waterproof Lash Discovery
Maybelline Lash Discovery is my favorite mascara. However, I prefer the waterproof version instead of this washable one. For some odd reason, the washable version uncurls my lashes when I apply it. The waterproof version doesn't do that. My eyelashes stay curled and gorgeous. The washable version weighs down my lashes. I still love the brush. It gets every little lash. I just don't like the washable formula. It's definitely a little different than the waterproof formula. If you have stubborn lashes that are stick-straight and find that mascaras tend to uncurl your lashes, I recommend you try the waterproof version instead of this one.

Maybelline Lash Discovery is my favorite mascara. I'm Asian and I have very straight lashes and not too many of them. This mascara is the only mascara that doesn't weigh my lashes down. After curling my lashes I apply this mascara and my lashes stay curled all day. I don't like other mascaras because they uncurl my lashes. I also love that it's so inexpensive and can be found in any drugstore, Walmart, and Target. I also prefer the waterproof version over the washable one. The washable Lash Discovery actually uncurls my lashes. I don't know why! Isn't that weird? Anyway, I love this mascara. Whenever there's a sale, I buy a bunch at a time. I can't live without it!

This is the most perfect dark red color! It looks amazing on my toes. I've gotten compliments about it when they see my toes! One of my toenails had a chip on it after three days, but I touched it up and it looked good as new. After a week, there were a few chips here and there. I went out and bought another bottle after I first put it on my toes. I loved it that much! I also have it in Ms. Can't Be Wrong and it's a really nice dark fuschia color. Not obnoxious or juvenile-looking. It's very sophisticated. I must go out and buy other colors!

When I first tested this on my wrist in Sephora, I couldn't stop smelling myself! I knew I had to get it. I love how it smells like cotton candy. I only spritz once or twice because a little goes a long way. It is a strong fragrance so I don't spray too much or else it will be overwhelming. Some people love it, some people hate it. i just so happen to love it. I just want to lick my wrists whenever I smell it!
