• POLISH IT!

1. Add a small amount of your favorite facial cleaner directly to the brush head prior to application. Use the medium or firm brush head once a week to exfoliate dead skin cells and expose a fresh healthy layer of skin. If you have sensitive skin, use the softest brush head at all times. Keep your entire exfoliation process under one minute.

2. Use the soft brush head for daily polishing. This should be a quick process kept under one minute to lightly remove dead skin cells prior to makeup application.

3. Once your skin is exfoliated and polished, proceed with the application of your favorite moisturizer and makeup. You will notice that the polishing process will help your moisturizer deeply penetrate your skin, which will create the perfect base for flawless makeup application!

4. Adjust this routine as needed. Once you get started, you can customize the intervals between exfoliation and polishing to fit your needs and your skin type. Moderation is key!

• CLEANSE IT!

Now is the time to get back to natural skin by efficiently removing all makeup residues from your skin!

1. Always use the softest brush head during the cleansing process.

2. Remove excess makeup prior to cleansing with facial wipes containing makeup remover.

3. Add a small amount of your favorite facial cleanser to the softest brush head and gently work it onto your skin using the Sigma Beauty Cleansing and Polishing Tool. Keep your cleansing process under one minute.

4. Apply your favorite moisturizer and you're ready for your beauty sleep!

Tiny Nyx Haul - pork​daisy.com

 My birthday was on my may8th and after giving him million hints as a birthday present my younger brother asked me order / buy anything i want with his credit card . My first choice was beauty.com , as they were having 20% off entire site. But as beauty.com doesn't deliver here and i am tired of ordering stuff at hubby's address, i wanted a change but i was scared of losing my package , which isnt new to me. I took a chance , i was encouraged by my sweet blogger friend Rabeeya , i placed an tiny order with pork​daisy.com .  I ordered few thing i really really really wanted .

• NYX Round Lipstick Thalia
• NYX Round Lipstick Fig
• NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss Natural
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Yogurt
• NYX Trio Eyeshadow Barely There / Champagne / Root Beer

NYX Trio Eyeshadow Barely There / Champagne / Root Beer

I so wanted this palette, like forever. I LOVE it so much.

This palette has three awsome Colors :  

• Barely there ( Possible MAC Nylon dupe) 
• Champagne (Possible MAC All that Glitters dupe) 
• Root Beer (Possible MAC Satin Taupe dupe) 

So i was gonna get the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in milk and black bean and then i googled and stumbled upon Temptalis's post where she compared NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils vs. Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow pencil and gave us possible dupes. This is where i saw swatches of NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Yogurt and i knew i have to have it.

Urban Decay Sin seems to be closest to NYX Yogurt .

I initially wanted the NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in smokey look or smokey , but after seeing swatched online i went with NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in natural . I am glad i did. Its a stunning every day shade. The smell is strong and sweet but i dont mind.

As expected the lipsticks were soft , and started to melt , i have kept in my fridge and they are useable.  But i will have to be careful. I love both shades so so much.

• Fig is a deep pink color
• Thalia is a gorgeous cool nude pink-mauve

Overall , I am really happy with pork​daisy.com . My order was shipped on May 17 , and today is may 25th , so i got it in less than 10 days. My package was double bubble wrapped and there was a fragile , handle with care sticker on the package. My total Shipping Cost was $9.14  . I am already planning for my next order :D

Please let me know if you want swatches , reviews or anything . 

I would love to hear your Nyx cosmetics recommendations. It will be such a big help . Comment and let me know :)

Sigma Beauty Dry'n Shape - Review

First thing , i love the way sigma beauty products come packaged. It came in a white typical USPS box , inside was the Dry'n Shape box with usual information booklets which basically tells / guides you how to use it .I received mine in perfect condition . 

  

What it is : Tired of waiting for your brushes to dry after washing them? Wait no more! Introducing the revolutionary Sigma Beauty Dry’n Shape system! The Dry’n Shape was designed to completely dry and shape your most dense brushes within 4 to 6 hours, guaranteed.

The Dry’n Shape provides the necessary pressure to bristles to quickly and efficiently remove water from every fibre.  The fabric used to shape the bristles was specially engineered to accelerate water evaporation, resulting in a faster drying time for your brushes.

The Dry’n Shape is an easy, quick, and effective way to quickly dry and shape your makeup brushes. Follow these three easy steps for best results:

 Price: $29 USD 
Availability: Sigma Beauty

When i first read about Dry'n Shape i was bit skeptical , i was thinking how can a brush roll helo brushes dry quickly . But with time and experience , your opinion changes . If you want to read my detailed review , read on

The Sigma Dry'n Shape comes in a black roll , which looks very similar to the typical brush rolls we have or see. The Dry'n Shape has a magnetic closure  which works fantastically to secure your brushes if you travel .

When opened up The sigma dry n shape comes with 12 slots for your brushes. Dry'n Shape has 12 elastic bands on the top and then 12 holders on the bottom .
These slots will fit your largest and most dense brushes very well but the fit for the  smaller eye brushes will be little loose.

Here is how to use it (description quoted from Sigma website):
STEP 1: Wash your brushes using a mild shampoo or brush cleanser.
STEP 2: Gently press the bristles to remove any excess water. Place the clean, damp brushes into the Dry N’ Shape using the smallest band the brush will fit into. Make sure that all bristles are firmly compressed.
STEP 3: Wait 4 to 6 hours and your brushes will be completely dry and ready to use! In addition to being completely dry, the bristles will be reshaped to their original form.  Your brushes will be perfect for your makeup application!

I wash my brushes as i normally do, first i use baby shampoo to get rid of the dirt by rolling out ny brushes in the mixture and then wash them by running them under the water upside down. Then i roll some of my brushes in the conditoner which actually helps them make more soft. Again wash them by running them under the water upside down.

Now after washing my brushes , i have placed them in Dry'n Shape . The bigger brushes like face brushes, bluhs/bronzer brushes fit perfectly .
The elastic band compress the bristels to squeese all the water out of the brushes which help them to dry quicker.

The tricky part is to adjust brushes in the elastic band , because you dont know how far to push them , if you push them too far , you have to do them again.

Usually my my elf powder brush and Sigma large powder brush F30 takes like agaes to dry so i put them under the direct sun light in the afternoon and leave them to dry.
When i checked them after few hours,All of y brushes were dry , nice and shaped*(No more flared brushes* whoo !  . Like no kidding .  Almost Four hours in the Dry'n Shape, my blush brush (along with everything else) was completely dry and shaped


My brushes all dried and shaped

Over all I would highly recommend it if you are on a go and want your brushes squeaky clean dry . But if you dont mind waiting a whole day , them skip it ;) For me it made my life easier as i hate washing my brushes because some of my favorite brushes are really dense. Don’t forget Sigma ships worldwide!

Sleek Makeup True Color Lipsticks - Photos , Swatches & Review

A girl can never have too many lipsticks . I am addicted to buying lipsticks, and my guilty pleasure is swatching them all in front of mirror when i have nothing else to do . Today i showing you three of my sleek makeup true color lipsticks.

Sleek Makeup recently relaunched their true colour lipstick collection.  The relaunch of the true color lipsticks range ($6.00 / £3.99 ) sees an eclectic range if shades that will take anyone from the office to the club with just one application. From subdued nuded such as Naked and barely there and hot pinks such as Fuschia and Amped , scorching reds like Vixen and O.M.G . Sleek makeup dare you not to fall in love with them all :)

 The 20 strong lipstick shades boasts a 16 new shades .  The new shades come in 2 finishes - Matte and Sheen.Today i will sharing my views on three of the shades , Baby doll , stiletto , and Vamp . Among these three only babydoll is sheen , other two are matt formula.

( L-R vamp , stiletto & baby doll)

• Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks in Vamp is a deep dark burgandy shade
• Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks in Stiletto is true classic red 
• Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks in baby doll is a pale pink with hint of lavender undertone ( which may look great of light skin tones, for my skintone it didnt work out)

The packaging is very sleek makeup'isque , meaning sturdy classic matt black with their logo on the actual tube. 

The Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks in stiletto reminds me of sleek makeup valentine's day collectoin  . It kind of completed my collection :)

The formula of matt lipsticks are easy to wear , they are creamy and pigment rich with intense colour pay-off. They have no shine, all matte finish. They may feel thicker and can get dry on lips .I f you find matte lipsticks hard to apply  , Apply this lipstick with a lipstick brush to get smooth, even coverage. A matte-finish lipstick is perfect for when you don't want your lips to appear glossed , when i go out in summer, i prefer using a matt lipstick.  

The sheen lipstick in baby doll has an amazing formula.  Its  a hybrid lipstick/gloss formula. Its lipsticks with a sheen , so you dont need a lipgloss over it. They have perfect amount of pigment and sheen. The lipstick is so creamy , it glides on my lips. 

Below are the lip swatches . My favourite has to be the Vamp . When i first saw the shade, i felt i wont care for it but it proved me wrong ,it looks stunning. It will look great with lots of mascara only.  The stiletto is a great classic red. I like it too. The big disappointment was the babydoll, i loved the formula, i wish it went well with my skintone.

I am wearing vamp and smiling :)

Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks are available at superdrug stores nation wide and on www.sleekmakeup.com

So tell me do you prefer matt or sheen ? Have you tried the Sleek Makeup true color lipsticks ?

Dry'n Shape takes 4-6 hours to dry brushes, brush guards OVER 24h, and no system takes 24h. The PRESSURE is key to eliminate water.Brush guards are great to shape, but they actually DELAY drying. They form a pocket that makes water evaporation slower compared to no guard.An F80 in brush guard can take up to 32h to dry - that is almost 2 days. With the Dry 'n Shape the F80 is ready to use in 6 hours. Amazing
