Easy Smokey Eye

Sometimes I skip shadows and just pop the Chang Mai into my crease. It works so well because it's so creamy and blendable.

The Pointe Noire is so black and dark. People tend to forget that these are Eye Intensifiers not Eye liners. While it can be used as a liner, it's not limited to that title. Try it in a new way. Like as a base, or as a shadow.

They are sold at Macy's Impulse Beauty as well as Barney's.

Nice Exfoliator

I use this as my exfoliator because it has tiny beads that gently scrapes of dead skin cells. It's not too harsh so it's great to use daily, but I use it maybe 3 times a week after I've cleansed with my Philosophy Purity Cleanser.

As for foaming, I'm not really getting any. I don't feel like it's the best cleanser, but I love it as an exfoliator.

Great for Dancing

I really like this spray if I'm going out to parties or if I ever decide to go dancing with friends. What I like to do is spray it before I put my makeup on, and then again after I've applied my makeup to set it.

I feel like for everyday I don't need it though. I just need it when I'm going out, and I'm going to be sweating. If you don't really go out that often, then I wouldn't stress too much about not having it.

Fast

This dryer has made my hair routine so fast. It used to take me forever to dry my hair, but now it takes me about 15 minutes max. There's also less frizziness because of the tourmaline crystals that is infused into the dryer.

It's also super light. Because of that my hands don't feel like it's falling off. I cannot tell you how much my hands feel like a deadweight when I'm blowdrying my hair because my old ones were so heavy.

My favorite thing about this dryer is how quiet it is. It can be on high, but sound so quiet. I come home late from my job, and I don't need to worry about waking anyone up when I take a late night or early morning shower.

Totally worth the money.

Not for the Darker Girls

I want to give this foundation 5 stars. I've used it on clients; I've seen it on friends. I am so envious of these girls because I cannot wear this foundation.

There is no color to match me. It does not go very dark at all. The coverage is amazing I've heard, but I would like to see what it's like on my own skin. If you're a darker skin type, you're out of luck. I wouldn't want to mix it with a darker color either because it'll change the consistency.

Hopefully they'll make darker colors eventually.

Phenomenal, but expensive

I love the coverage of this with a beautyblender sponge. It looks so natural and even, exactly like my skin. It's a light weight foundation with medium coverage that's buildable. I cannot wait to wear this during the summer because it feels like a tinted moisturizer.

I try to use it sparingly because it's so expensive. It's totally worth the money, but it looks so good that I use it all the time.

If you can splurge, go for it.

Love the Colors.

I was skeptical when everyone said the bronzer would look nice on me, especially because I'm darker (I'm an NC45 for you MAC Users). It's really hard to find a bronzer and blush that looks good on me.

I love that it looks natural and gives me such a pretty glow. I put the blush higher on my cheekbones to fake how high it is. Totally works. The blush is also a really nice soft contour, for my skin at least.

GREAT QUALITY

I was a little skeptical about Sigma, when they first came out. Some MAC brushes including some that are similar to the ones in this kit run up to $50.00. I decided to try them out, and it was a great decision.

The brushes are really well made, and do remind me a lot of the MAC brushes. The F20 and F25 are such great brushes that make the whole set worth it. Soft hairs that don't have lots of hair fall out. I just want to remind people to wash them carefully. They won't last if you don't take care of them.

They are solid good brushes. A great investment.

Beauty on the Go!

I think all of us sometimes feel like we have the world on our shoulders. With school, work, internships, families, extra-curriculars, it's hard for anyone to find time to do their makeup. This is part of the reason I love this product so much. It's such a multitasker. It saves me time for when I'm on the go, and it saves room in my makeup bag.

I'm all about carrying the essentials, and this is definitely an essential because it's a blush and lipcolor in one. The gives a nice healthy dewy look, and the lip color is lasting. My favorite color is Rose, but there is a color for any skin type. I just put a little on my cheeks and lips with my fingers, and I'm ready to go.

It may be $25USD, which at times can seem like too much. Just remember it's a two-in-one product with a mirror. Totally worth it.

Forgot about us..

Benefit definitely looks over people of darker skin tones. Any of the Erase paste colors are way too light for me. It sometimes looks cakey, and it's a bit too yellow. While it's great on some people, I personally cannot use it. It's not versatile.

Another thing that bothers me is the packaging. Having to dip your finger in all the time can cause it to become unsanitized and full of bacteria. I'd pass.
