Sigmax Synthethic Precision kit pt2




This is how the box looks like
Description says:
The Synthetic Precision Kit was developed to mimic your fingertips when applying makeup on your most sensitive and precise areas of your face. This line utilizes the exclusive Sigmax fibers for extreme softness and easy makeup application.
Brushes in this kit:
P80 - Precision Flat The small, dense and flat top is ideal to conceal blemishes, sun spots and small imperfections on the skin. It can be used to stipple concealer on defined areas, followed by precise application of setting powder.
P82 - Precision Round The rounded top was designed to mimic your fingertips, making this brush ideal to apply eye shadow primers. It can also be used for the precise application of highlight shades on the bridge of the nose, cheek bones and cupid's bow.
P84 - Precision Angled The small angled top makes this brush perfect for precise contouring on the sides of the nose and contouring the hollows of the cheek bones. It can also be used to highlight the brow bone.
P86 - Precision Tapered The tapered shape of this brush is ideal for application of concealer under the eyes and on defined areas such as the sides of the nose, chin and around the mouth. This brush can also be used to perfectly apply concealer around the lips to prevent color bleeding.

I am so sorry for them being dirty, because I just tested them, and I was really lazy to clean :D

The thing is that they sent me two Precision Round P82 ones, I don't know if it is a factory packaging malfunction, or something else, but I didn't get to try the Tapered one :(

This is the Precision Round P82

For me the brush is just perfect for applying concealer under eyes, since I usually don't use anything else but my fingers to put on concealer(it's just the best technique for me), this brush really suprised me with it's ability to perfectly mimic the softness and sturdiness of a fingertip.


This is the Precision Flat P80

First, when I saw this brush online, i though - oh great, another small duo fibre.. but it's nothing like it. It's very sturdy and FULL with bristles, very dense and thick. It is perfect for applying thicker correctors on blemishes or do a stippling motion to cover under eye.

This is the Precision Angled P84

It says that it is meant for contouring and highlighting, as it is very easy to manipulate with, ( I mean you can use the different angles of this brush) , and also highlighting, but I suggest - it is better to use cream products with it.

Ok, the price is $49 for all four brushes / $14 each separately - I'd say that it is reasonable.
Overall: Really great brushes! Totally for concealer perfectionists like me, but since they're not as multi-purpose as their other brushes, this is not a must have.
Cons: I really wanted to try the Tapered one, but I just didn't receive it, ah well, I am going to use
the other Rounded one for a future giveaway :D ;)

Summer haze




I guess I was inspired by the spring and summer- in every aspect in fashion...we see very bold colors and textures on the fabric patterns, even the make-up is bright and colorful. This make-up is my little escape from this winter.

There will be a video for this one, so stay tuned.

Color burst / Creative artistic look / La nostra infinita abnegazione

-*-


This is my newest look, which is inspired by a very talented watercolorist Agnes Cecile's artwork "La nostra infinita abnegazione'' ("Our endless devotion'') , I found this particular artwork very moving and inspiring, so I created very artistic and chaotic shapes, lines and colors. I think I saw her video of speed painting this artwork on youtube.Here

There will be a video up soon, not a tutorial but just showing it off.

And this is the least 'artistic' mess I could make..happens everytime

Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Dragon no 75 / My first review and swatches!





So I just recently got back from my trip to Hong Kong. I bought a few good items on sale like Chanel and Revlon, but that is another story, as I am SO thrilled for this Rouge Allure Laque Dragon no 75 from Chanel. I've heard many good things about this lipgloss / lipstick, so I am exited to do my first review of it as I just got it in the mail.
The sad thing is that it is now DISCONTINUED..(what?) it's such a great lipstick with it's unique and rich color, so why would Chanel discontinue it?
So hurry if you still want to get this, as there is a few places that still sell it (google is your best friend) OR I found THIS SITE
I personally managed to get it from ebay even with less price than in stores. ($32.00 - 0.20 fl.oz. ; 6ml) bought it only for $29.99.

About Dragon:
From Chanel I expected an incredible quality, because the brand name demands it in any way, and I can truly say that this lipstick has it.
  • It works really well with my fair skin tone .
  • It glides on just perfect and you don't need much amount of a product, because a little goes a long way.
  • It is incredibly pigmented and smooth and it has like a satin, slightly glossy finish.
  • It stains the lip and stays on for a long time, it has amazing wearability.
Although I didn't find it easy to apply it with the tip of the applicator, instead I slided on a tiny amount of Dragon and just used my favourite lip brush to blend it out.

This is a very bold, vibrant, intense and sexy red.
Sophisticated and gorgeous. A true red, if you will.
