I love how thin this pencil is. It makes filling in your brows so easy. It's so precise and the texture is great. It's not waxy or too creamy. I like to use this with the ABH Dipbrow. I lightly outline my brows with the Brow Wiz and then fill in with the Dipbrow. It's the best combination! If I'm in a rush, then I'll use the Brow Wiz. I haven't had an issue with it running out quickly since I use very little with each use and I don't use it every day. The spoolie that comes with it is very useful. It brushes away the harsh edges and makes your brows look very natural. I totally recommend this brow pencil. It's one of the best I've ever tried.

I've primarily been an eyebrow pencil girl, but I heard so many raves about the Dipbrow that I just had to try it. I was reluctant at first because I'm completely clueless when it comes to using a brush to do my eyebrows. I still had to try it out and see what everyone was raving about. I have black hair and pink undertones. I thought about getting the Dark Brown, but it was too warm when I tested it. I got it in Granite and Ebony. I mix the two because Ebony is a very dark brown, almost black, with some warmth to it. Granite is grey with no red undertones. Well, I love it!! It has made my eyebrows look so clean and amazing. After watching tutorials before getting it, I had an idea on how to apply it. I use very little at a time and I wipe off the excess inside the lid. A little goes a long way. I wouldn't say it's completely smudgeproof. I do have pretty oily skin and a little does wipe away if I'm not careful, but it stays put for the most part. I was caught in the rain and most of my brows didn't get erased. I highly recommend this product. I use it almost every day! It's amazing!!

I was given the chance to try out two of these H2O lubricants; Sensitive Touch and Closer. I really love that they're fragrance-free and dye-free. Both of them are silky smooth and feel wonderful. I would say that they do dry up a bit faster than other lubricants since they're water-based, so you may have to apply more than once if you're going in for a long session! ;) Both of them aren't sticky at all and I was able to use them with a couple of toys that weren't Trojan toys. They're compatible with Trojan toys, by the way! If I had to choose which one I preferred, I think I'd pick Sensitive Touch. It's infused with Aloe & Vitamin E. It made my skin feel so smooth! But they're both wonderful and I'd definitely use both of them again. No goopy mess or residue! Get them and have fun!

I really liked this concealer for the dark circles under my eyes. It was creamy, didn't dry out my skin, blended really well, and didn't settle into any lines or pores. The peachy color was great for concealing my dark circles and matched my light/medium skin nicely. I did feel like I needed to reapply later in the day, but that wasn't such a big problem. I like that it's in a little jar and it isn't too liquidy. I just used my ring finger to dab under my eyes and that was it. No brush needed! I haven't tried it on any other dark areas, but I'll give it a try soon! I recommend this product. It's great!

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!
