Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80 Review + Guide

I have been on a hunt for a flat top brush that can be used with liquid. Hello Sigma's Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80!

This exclusive flat top synthetic kabuki was designed to deliver a flawless makeup application. The Sigma Makeup F80 is a buffer brush that can be used to blend powder or liquid products. The short and dense bristles make it easy to buff your liquid foundation. The long handle adds comfort to your makeup application. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid products and can be easily cleaned. 

Pros:

• Multi-purpose (can be used with creams, liquids & powders)
• Long handle (good for handling)
• Short dense bristles ( This gives an airbrushed look)
• Soft bristles ( Doesn't hurt when you buff your foundation)
• Price (Only $16.00!!)

I don't have any cons for this brush! It is rare to find a brush that gives you a quick airbrushed look.

This is how I use the brush:

First apply a small amount of foundation on the top of your hand or a metal plate.

You don't need a lot with this brush. Dab the brush, so it has a good amount of product.

Secondly dab the product to your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

Then buff it in for a airbrushed look.

At the end you should have a flawless face which looks like you don't have ANY foundation at all.

Loveee it! This brush gets 5 stars from me, I would definitely recommend it for anyone from a newbie to a MUA.

Balmshell Cosmetics: How to you feel about Cheek / Lip Tints?

Lately I have been looking for other ways to explore colors out of my comfort zone. The easiest way is to play with finishes.

Tints is something I usually don't choose because of my skin tone.. I really have to get out of that mentality because WOC can wear anything.

One of my favorite Tint's is from Balmshell.

• It can be used for lips & cheeks
• Gel based
• built-in antibacterial sponge applicator

SWATCHES:
Applied 3 times.. smudge out to get a "rosy glow"

Sometimes a girl has to RETURN

During one of my crazy shopping adventures. I bought these two tops..both equally adorable but awkward..

The white top on the left had sleeves to die for BUT it was extremely low cut. I was totally not comfortable with that and I didn't like the look of it with a tank underneath.

The black sweater on the right looked cute on the hanger BUT the shoulders looked super padded on me... No word of a lie, I felt like I had football shoulder pads on LOL.

Note to self : Never shop off the racks near cash. They ALWAYS catch you when your cashing out : P

Question:

How do you feel about returning clothes?

The National Women's Show Recap!

Hi girls,

A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to go to The National Women's Show as media. I've never been to one of these shows before so I had no idea what to expect.

This show is described as the ultimate girl's day out! There was over 450 exhibits ranging from beauty to travel. Also Celebrity guests and Cooking demos!

One of the most popular areas was the World of Taste area. I tried my best to avoid it but I couldn't resist the samples. Plus they gave out full sized products! I loved the idea of having travel destinations at the show. I got brochures & information about places I would love to visit.

My favorite part was the beauty companies of course. Vasanti was doing makeup demos while Balmshell had their glosses out on display for all to try.  Love the Balmshell girls, they're super sweet!

I also got introduced to new beauty companies like Pandora's Makeup Box & Artistry!

Word of advice: Please take the time to talk people at the booths! If i had a question I didn't hesitate to stop and ask! They're really knowledgeable and friendly!
