Temptu Airbrush Makeup System - To buy or Not to buy?

I want a Airbrush system but I didn't know where to start. After talking to a few makeup artists, the name that was common was TEMPTU!

I went to their website and uploaded my picture to their FindMyShade program. Within less than 24 hours I received a personal email with a color, blush and highlighter match. As an e-Business consultant, I can tell you, your experience on the internet needs to mirror the experience you get in person. I was very impressed with this email that I had to share it with you all:

"Thank you for sending in your picture for a free color match – nice picture by the way! Your perfect shade is #011 Chestnut . Your complementary Blush and Highlighter shades are: #404 Sheer Berry and #304 Copper.


If you’re looking for an AIRbrush Makeup System, our System + Face Kit includes a Foundation duo, Blush and Highlighter of your choice (only available at temptu.com). Perfect for your everyday needs!


Enter promo code ******** at checkout and receive Free Shipping *and* an AIR pod Foundation Duo for $50 (regularly $55).


Still feeling torn about which shade to order? No problem! Order both shades and we can arrange for you to return one of them, hassle free.


TEMPTU offers an easy 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked, return policy."

They did everything right in that email. They started out with a compliment, Give me what I was looking for (my shade),  added extra information (blush & highlighter), Gave me a deal and lastly gave me told me about their policy. Brilliant!

In-case you were curious here is my shade, blush, highlighter & powder in person.  I think that they matched me perfectly!

I think I made my decision. I`m currently saving my pennies for this Temptu system.

Sigma Travel Kit Naughty Review

As a Sigma Affiliate, I was happy to try out the Sigma Travel Kit Naughty in Black. I tried the F80 a few months ago and loved it, so I believe in the Sigma brand.

This brush set comes with seven important brushes. Each brush has a specialty which allows you to achieve your flawless look.

Here is each brush in HD after being washed:

Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.

Rounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.

Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. It is also recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas. Synthetic bristles.

The rounded, tampered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.

Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.

Rounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.

Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.

BONUS:

"Airbrushed" finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.

Overall:
 I couldn't find anything wrong with this brush set.
Great carrying case, quality brushes and the bonus brush is pretty good too! 
I can`t stress how amazing it is to have a Tapered Blending Brush in a brush set.

Which brush is your favorite? 
Also would you be interested in this brush set? *wink*

Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron (18mm) from Missiko.com + Pictures of my curls

Missiko.com is the place to go to get Hair Straighteners,Curling Irons & professional salon styling tools. With several brands at your finger tips, you can select anything from their Corioliss Hair Straighteners to a dryer from Elchim for a low price.

I remember the first time I tried a Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron back in early 2010. I loved the look and hated the price. I could never justify spending over $250.00 on it, even if I was in love. Missiko.com offers the same curler for $99.99 plus FREE Shipping!

Corioliss Wand Curling Iron Features:

• Tourmaline infused ceramic barrel emits far infrared heat technology to lock in moisture.
• Heat Proof Glove Included in Package
• Fast heat up time and high temperature performance.
• Negative ion technology eliminates static resulting in hair that is soft, silky and shiny.
• Professional 360 degrees swivel cord
• Clipless design. 

This is NOT your typical curling iron. I love the fact that it's possible to control the curl pattern. With my past curling irons there was only one option- tight Shirley Temple curls. Not 2011 friendly at all.

In this picture I held the curl for five seconds. It ended up looking very beachy:

I repeated the process all around my head. I also combed out the back curls with my fingers.

 The finished look with my EXTREME baby face:

If you have been debating whether or not to get a Curling wand, I'd definitely recommend the Ceramic Wand Curling Iron!
