Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Sooo, after reading numerous positive and negative reviews on Sigma I decided to go ahead and purchase anyway! After all, you only live once. My outcome was a positive one. Everything came packaged safely and unharmed.

So this is the package my things came in. Simple packaging. Cool.

Waaa laaa! This is what you see after you open the box.

That is the box the brushes came in. I purchased just the regular essential kit. It can be found here. The packaging for the brushes was pretty cute.

The brushes came in a plastic bag. They also were in their own plastic covering. I think that is great they did that to make sure they were extra safe for shipping!

Here are the lovely brushes. You can read about what brushes came with this pack here.

I also picked up one other item!

Yup!! You guessed it. I bought the limited edition Paris Makeup Palette. You can find this palette here. This palette's packaging is beautiful and I must say so is the product inside. The colors are lovely, and I am so excited to try out some different looks with them. This palette was made by Sigma as well as a few beauty gurus and it was made to complement all skin tones. Sooo, this should be great for everyone to try.

The inside looks similar to the outside. These colors are quite lovely! It comes with 8 eyeshadow colors as well as 2 blushes and a highlighter. An added bonus is the eyeshadow brush and angled contour brush.

Above are two photos of the colors Eiffel, Seine, Louvre, and Orsay. The first photo is with the flash, and the second is without. Believe me the colors look better in person.

Above are photos of Elysees, Notre Dame, Triomphe, and Versailles. I must say these colors are my absolute favorite! Beautiful neutral colors with a shimmer. Can not wait to use these!!!

Sorry about this last photo but in this photo are Rouge, Peche, and Lumiere. The first two are blushes and the last one is a highlighter. These are pretty and i'm excited to use these as well. :)

Also with this palette you get a little booklet explaining about the palette and why each guru chose which monument or place to represent each color. Above is a photo of them.

OOO, and I recieved a free eyeliner brush. Woo

Don't mind the messy applications but here is what I'm wearing on my nails and toes at the moment. A water marble effect on my nails(looks better in person) and an ombre effect on my toes! Loving my toes right now.

What're you all wearing on your nails and toes at the moment? :)

small haul

This pretty necklace is from Forever21. It was I believe $12.80. I thought it was so pretty and elegant looking, I absolutely love it!

These pretty babies were only $3.80. I love how there is a mixture of faceted rhinestones and pearlescent beads. I also love the leaf accents. Such a gorgeous pair of earrings.

I needed some gold bangles, and these were perfect. These were $6.80.

I picked up this limited edition brush kit. The kit was $49.50. They are the perfect size brushes for travel, and are so soft on my skin. I haven't actually tried them out yet, so I will later review them in more depth.

I picked up Mac's Paint Pot in Painterly. It was $19.00. I needed another one. This works amazing, it keeps my eyeshadow on all day. I did a swatch, but it's barely showing in the picture so I'm not posting it.

I picked up some Mineralize Skin Finish Natural powder in Medium Dark. I wanna say this was $27.00, I think. It looks completely natural and is CRAZY pigmented. Its light enough to wear over liquid foundation and not look cakey, yet full enough to wear alone, which I do often!

This is the Studio Tech foundation. It provides a full range of coverage. I got it in NC32, even though I wear it a bit darker but they were all out so I just got my powder a bit darker this time. This was $29.50.

I also picked up two eye shadows. The first is Forgery, and the second is Steamy. I always use Forgery, and picked up Steamy for the first time. I wanted to try out a new color on my eyes, and I absolutely adore it. These were $15.00 each.

I picked up Mac's 'Haute and Naughty Lash' because I fell in love with how it's presented. This mascara is two in one!! It was priced at $19.00. There is a mascara inside another. One is used for length while the other is used to add volume. I haven't tried this yet, so I will give a review at a later time.
