Makeup Brushes Major Organisation!!!!!

Hey Guys,
 After my lipstick organising the last night I think I've caught the bug.... I suddenly feel the need to organise everything..... all my kit/collection!
 This is gonna take me forever!! Ha ha
Tonight I sorted out & separated my 150+ brushes into .....
1. my kit 
2. my personal use

Here's the lot of them as they were in various containers, with no reason for their placement (which drives me nuts!!!! I need order!) They used to be in order but have gotten mixed up over the last few months since I last organised them!

MAC Giveaway!! "Up The Amp" lipstick up for grabs!

Hey!!!
While sorting through & depotting my loose lipsticks into palettes (See previous post) I happened upon Mac's "Up the Amp" Lipstick, (out of the box but untouched otherwise) & discovered I already have it in one of my palettes.
(The colour is totally off here thanks to the flash from my camera but I just wanted to show ye that it's perfectly intact!)

Impromptu late-night lipstick Depotting.....

Hey Guys:)
After a highly unproductive (down-right lazy) day I suddenly got an itch to clean & tidy my little makeup space & desk (At 9.30pm!). Soon as I got to my lipstick drawer my focus shifted slightly and gave-way to a highly productive depotting session involving some yummy lippy colours. ^_^

Longer, Fuller, Stronger lashes!!! Rapidlash Review.

Howdy Folks!
I finally decided to do my Rapidlash review to share one of my favourite current products with ye ^_^
As you can see from the before & after pics below, there's a significant difference between the two.
I was using the serum for about 6 weeks or so before I noticed any growth, but when I did, it seemed to just zoom from there on!!


Before.....

After.....

So, here's the science bit (made easy) .....

Make your eyes appear more close-set ^_^

Howdy all,
This is a much requested video on how to seemingly draw your eyes together!
Many people with wide set eyes like to make them appear slightly more close set, (though many don't!) and also many people with close set eyes may want to accentuate it even further.

How I lighten/bleach my eyebrows ^_^

Hey Guys:)



Needed to lighten my eyebrows up a little as I'm off to get my hair coloured in a short while (Highlighted and caramel toner) So I decided to record it for ye to share my method and tips.
I;m only going a couple of shades lighter first of all and I'll see how it looks compared to my lighter hair once it's done and adjust as necessary.
I use Jolen bleach, have done for years, and I find it great. Really gentle and effective!
It's hailed as the World's no 1 bleach, hailing from USA. And is very popular in Asia!!

Sigma Synthetic Brush Kit Review!

Hey Guys:)
So here's my long awaited Sigma long handled kabuki or synthetic brush kit review!



The only negatives I could think of regarding the brushes were.....
1). The drying time is definitely an over night job, but this is due to the density of the head.
2). It's not conducive to sheer makeup application. (This can be good or bad depending on your needs!)

Product of the Week; Sigma - Small Tapered Blending Brush E45



 Sigma makeup brushes are certainly not new to the market but they are relatively new(ish) to me! I first bought the complete 12 brush kit (without the roll) over a year ago after giving into the hype generated through youtube reviews and blog posts. I couldn't believe how impressive the quality of the brushes were considering how inexpensive the kit was (Works out at about €5.00 a brush!)
 I wanted to try out more of the kits since but hadn't really been able to afford it considering I really don't need more makeup brushes (Not that I don't want them though!! Definitely a weakness for me!!) & I didn't have a credit card of my own to go internet shopping willy nilly.
 Fast forward to November 2010 just gone and Sigma sent me out the new 'Sigmax' Synthetic Face Kit for consideration, and I fell in love again! Fantastic & innovative brushes! (Will be doing a thorough review on the Sigma brush kits soon so won't go too in-depth here).
 So a couple of weeks ago I bought the Premium 15 Brush Kit (this time I had no choice but to get it with the brush roll) as a birthday present to myself (from Brendan! Ha ha). Again I am hugely impressed by this kit and the range and uniqueness of the brushes. Now I know that Sigma have modeled most of their brush designs on Mac brushes but many of the Mac counterparts are pro only, or discontinued and of course much more expensive. (Again, I'll tackle the Mac comparison in my upcoming reviews)
