New for Makeup Brush Washing: SIGMA Spa Brush Cleaning Glove

Hey Guys!

I’m so excited today. Sigma launched a new product yesterday that is so fun and changes how I feel about washing my makeup brushes. It’s a new tool that makes washing your brushes easier. It looks like a oven mitt but it’s the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove. 

As a makeup artist, I love this glove because it makes washing dozens of brushes faster and easier. Not to mention, I don’t have to ruin my nail polish because my hands don’t even have to touch water.

The glove has a silicone outside which is easy to wash ,very durable,and gentle on your makeup brushes.  It has a microfiber inside which keeps your hand from sweating and keeps it cozy and comfortable in the glove while you wash your brushes. It comes in 4 colors and retails for $39. Is it worth it? YES! It makes cleaning your brushes easier and more effective; it’s definitely worth the money. The little groves on the glove help to really suds up the soap and deep clean your brush! Check out the glove on the sigma website here.

Check out the video I made demonstrating how this is used. 

Thanks for reading. Let me know if you have any questions. Don’t forget to subscribe to my youtube channel and blog if you want to keep seeing more posts about all things beauty.

A Gift For Those That Want Beautiful Brows

Hey Guys!

On the 4th day of Christmas, may I suggest the gift of brows! If you have been wondering what to use for your eyebrows,  because some suggest a powder, some use a pencil, some use a gel; Sigma’s Brow Design Kit has it all! It will contain everything you need to create perfect brows for you!

I have been using this kit everyday since I got it. And, not just because it’s new. I’ve been using it because it has EVERYTHING I could possibly need for my brows. It contains:

• A tweezer
• A small scissor
• Brow Stencils (for shaping your brows if you don’t already have the shape you desire)
• A Brow pencil with two different shades
• A Brow pencil (one side white, one shimmery) to apply under your brow
• A Pencil Sharpener
• 5 Shades of brow shadow. I use the lightest shade or the middle shade.
• Brow gel in clear, brow gel in light brown
• An angled brush and spooli brush for combing brows and applying brow shadow.

So, this kit really has it all. The price is $69. Sigma has excellent customer service, fast shipping, pretty packaging, and  they are based out of Minneapolis!!

I’ve always been impressed with Sigma’s products, and prices. I would also suggest the Paris Palette which is Limited Edition, but contains, 8 eye shadows and 3 blushes. You can get it right now for $49.  A great gift for a makeup lover.

Talk to you guys tomorrow!! Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss any of my gift guide posts this month!

Back to School Beauty 2012 Part 2- All About Makeup

 

Hey Guys!

The other day I wrote about some great beauty products to get you ready for back to school. Today I want to continue that and share with you some of my favorite makeup items for back to school season. These are a few of the things that I am loving right now and that I think would be helpful for back to school season.

The first items are eye shadow palettes. There are two in particular that are out now that have peaked my attention that I think anyone would love. One is the SHE WEARS IT WELL Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills.  It is a perfect mix of  9 matte and shimmery eyeshadows that are all neutral enough to wear everyday or make and evening smokey eye look from. The palette retails for $34 and is a great value for the quality and convenience of this palette.

 

The next palette (or set) I should say is the new Majestic Jungle Collection by Glow Minerals. This is a beautiful fall makeup set that comes with a cute makeup bag, gloss and eye makeup palette complete with 8 rich  fall colors and 2 eyeliners. This is one of the most gorgeous fall eye shadow palettes I have seen. My only gripe about it is that the colors although rich and pigmented, have a little fallout when you swipe your brush in there, so just be sure to tap of your brush before applying to avoid a mess. This retails for $80.

The Sigma Performance Eye Kit is a must-have brush set. You may have regular makeup brushes, but do you have the performance eye brushes? These are tiny precise brushes that are great for anyone who wants to create more precise eye looks, or if you have smaller eyes these are perfect size for you to contour and create precise definition between multiple shadow eye looks. This kit comes with 8  brushes and retails for $55.

As you might know already, I love BB creams. And, I think everyone should have one. The Loreal youth Code BB cream  is a really great drugstore buy if you’re looking to try one. Those of you who don’t like to wear a lot of foundation or just want a quick easy one step product to apply, this is your answer, it evens out your skin, illuminates skin, perfects flaws, moisturizes, corrects and provides spf 15. I would recommend this for anyone who has normal, combination or dry skin. Since it illuminates it may make oil skin look more oily. Check it out , it retails for  around $16.99 at most drugstores. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what some of my makeup picks were for back to school beauty. If you have any questions about the items above, leave them in the comments below or e-mail me.

And, check out my Lovelo Beauty Facebook Page for more pictures, and info on what I’m up to.

Sigma Mrs. Bunny Travel Brush Kit- Vegan Brushes

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all having a good week. The other day I posted about Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic and his favorite Sigma Brushes. If you missed it, you can still take a look at the post I did here. 

Today I want to tell you guys about one of my favorite brush sets from Sigma. They recently came out with a set of travel brushes called the Mrs. Bunny set. The difference with these brushes compared to Sigma’s other travel kits is that they are Vegan meaning they do not use real animal hair.

The Brushes in this kit are the:

Pencil – E30 Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, upper and lower lash line.

Tapered Blending – E40 Rounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease.

Eye Shading – E55 Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments.

Small Angle – E65 Essential for the application of gel or cream eye liner on the upper and lower lash line.

Large Powder – F30 Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body.

Large Angled Contour – F40 The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades.

Foundation – F60 Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. Recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas.

What I love about these brushes is that they have the Sigmax HD fibers meaning that they guarantee a more precise application. These brushes are very precise and I feel like the make-up doesn’t get lost down inside the bristles.

I also love the brushes in this kit, it is everything I would need going overnight or taking a weekend away. The light blue and baby pink is an adorable combination.

Have a great day!!
