If you watched any of my makeup tutorials on youtube, you'll know that I love my bunny collection brushes from Sigmabeauty.com. They are so soft like my Ecotool brushes and they come in the cutest packaging ever! ^_^<br />

I went to Walmart to do some shopping for home and somehow ended up in the makeup aisle... go figure. -_-" I spotted the Real Technique Brushes for only $18.95 per kit. I was excited to try these because I heard so many good things about them. The line was created by Samantha Chapman, a makeup artist as well as a beauty guru on youtube. Both the Sigma and RT brushes are made from synthetic/ cruelty-free taklon bristles. I experienced no shedding with both brush kits.<br />

<i>Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush</i> </div>
<br />
I love the color and design of these eye brushes but unfortunately, I wasn't all too impressed with this particular kit. The Deluxe crease brush is nice but it's much too big for my lid space. This would actually work better to blend in concealer. The base shadow brush is too fluffy to pack on eyeshadow, in fact, it would work better for blending. I also find that the brow and eyeliner brush are too big for their intended use. Out of the entire kit, I would probably only use the deluxe crease brush and the base shadow brush.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
I was far more impressed with the Base Core Collection; in fact, I can see myself using three out of the four brushes in this kit. The contour and buffing brush are just fantastic. I use them for power, blush, highlight, and contour. They aren't as dense as the Sigma Sigmax brushes but you really get your bang for your buck! When you break it down, these brushes cost under $5 each. The detailer brush is small but it's the perfect lip/spot concealer brush. The only one I didn't like was the pointed foundation brush. I was going to use this for concealer under the eyes but it was too scratchy and irritating. If you can see from the picture below, I compared it to the Sigma foundation brush. The Sigma brush is just smooth but the RT has tiny bristles sticking out on top which makes it scratchy. I also find that the Sigma talon fibers are a tad softer than the RT brushes.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
So how do these RT brushes compare to my Sigma Bunny Collection brushes? It's hard to say. Both kits come with completely different brushes that serve different purposes but in terms of quality, I think the Sigma's synthetic brushes are softer. Although the Sigma Bunny collection costs 3x more, I use every single brush in that kit. If you're on a budget, the RT brush kits are great for the price!<br />

<b><i>Would you recommend RT brushes:</i></b><i> </i>Yes! If you love <a href="http://www.farleyco.ca/ecoTOOLS/Products.html"><span style="color: #053bee; text-decoration: underline;">Ecotools brushes</span></a> , you'll love RT because I find that their brushes are more for professionals. The Ecotool brushes are nice but a lot of them have very basic shapes for beginners. Real Technique brushes are affordable and better than the average "drugstore" brush kits. I can't say that I like them more than Sigma's bunny brushes but for the price, you're getting a good deal.
<br />
<br />
Canadians can get these brush kits at Walmart, Shoppers Drugmart, and London Drugs. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the individual brushes in stores but you can buy them online <a href="http://www.farleyco.ca/Real-Techniques/Products.html">here</a>.<br />

Hey guys! Long time no blog! I really miss reviewing and sharing my experience with beauty related stuff so I decided to start getting back into the swing of things. Over the past year, I've tried many new products-- some I liked and others not so much. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on <a href="http://www.thebalm.com/makeup/nudetude.htm">the Balm Nude 'Tude eyeshadow palette</a>. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This palette retails for $36 USD for 0.382 oz. but sometimes the Balm is on hautelook.com for 50% off so keep an eye out for it! The packing is made of cardboard but the built is pretty sturdy IMO. The double ended brush is a nice addition but I always travel with my Sigma brushes. I also like the fact that it comes with a nice big mirror inside! The Nude'Tude comes in two packagings-- Feeling Naughty and Feeling Nice. The eyeshadows are exactly the same but the Naughty palette (pictured above) has cartoon girls posing provocatively. I think I would really like this if I were a lesbian. ^_^" This palette reminds me of the Urban Decay Naked Palette and the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette because it consists of everyday neutral colors. The finish of these eye shadows includes satin, matte, and shimmery. Finger swatches below with no primer. I think they stand out pretty well against my medium skintone. :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pros: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Nice variety of neutral colors for daytime and night time looks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Eyeshadows are very smooth and pigmented. I consider the formula on the high quality side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Matte shadows are usually chalky but these matte colors are so buttery smooth (i.e. Serious, Sultry, and Sleek).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Good for the price. Especially if you can find it for $18! That would be a steal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cons:</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Some eyeshadows look beautiful in the pan but don't translate well on my skin (i.e. Silly and Sophisticated)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Not readily available in Canada. Sephora doesn't carry it and only some Rexall stores have it. You can always by it online though. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Would you recommend this:</b> Yes! This is great for those who love their nudes/neutrals. The colors are nice and perfect for everyday wear. I don't own the Urban Decay Naked Palette so I can't really compare the two. But in comparison to the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette which I do own, I would say the quality is at par with the Balm having lesser fall out. You can find this palette on <a href="http://www.thebalm.com/makeup/nudetude.htm">the Balm website</a> and if you live in Canada, you can find the Balm cosmetics at Rexall Pharma Plus and London Drugs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you have this palette? What are your thoughts? :)</div>

<b>Overall: </b>4 out of 5<br />
<b>Packaging:</b> 4 out of 5 <br />
<b>Price:</b> $9-$11 CAD <br />
<b>Size/Weight:</b> 3.5 g<br />
<b>Would I recommend this?</b> Yes<br />
<br />
<b>PROS:</b><br />
- Hands down the best drugstore eyeshadow to date. (Believe me, I'd tried all the drugstore e/s and this is the best in quality and performance.)<br />
- Cheaper alternative to Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadows but the colors are not dupes. (Some differences are: ETK comes in a glass packaging vs plastic, ETK is creamier, KTK colors are more multi-dimensional.)<br />
- Very pigmented.<br />
- The claim about the colors being long lasting only holds true for the darker eyeshadows. Time Resist White, Hourglass Beige, and Forever Pink faded on me within 3 hours. All Night Blue, Burning Black, and all the other darker colors stayed put for the whole day without a primer.<br />
- Not as much fallout as regular loose pigments.<br />
- Beautiful array of colors to choose from but they are all one-dimensional. <br />
- Easy to blend.<br />
- All shadows are shimmery with a satin finish. No chunky glitters.<br />
- Cream to powder finish creates a bolder, more intense look.<br />
- Great makeup for on the go because all you have to do it swipe it over your lids. <br />
<br />
<b>CONS:</b><br />
- A bit expensive for a drugstore eyeshadow. $10 a pop.<br />
- Lighter eyeshadows colors within this line don't last for 24 hours on my eyelids unless I use a primer underneath. Without a primer, it lasted for about 3 hours on my lids before the color started settling into the crease.<br />
- The darker colors (All Night Blue, Burning Black, etc) left a stain on my lids so always use your primer as base.<br />
- Have to use your fingers to apply this as it doesn't adhere to makeup brushes unless you wet them.<br />
- Because you have to use your fingers, your nails have to be short, otherwise it will dig into the eyeshadow.<br />
- Colors are one-dimensional and only a few of them stand out to me. (i.e. All Night Blue, Permanent Khaki) <br />
<br />
I got 9 out of 11 eyeshadows. (I'm missing Eternal Black and Endless Chocolat.)<br />

I've been meaning to do a Nicki Minaj makeup look for a while now and I finally got around to doing one. You can probably notice from her music videos that Nicki isn't afraid to wear all the colors of the rainbow. To be safe, I usually stick to my neutrals but this turned out to be nicer than I thought! Hope you enjoy the tutorial.<br />

As long as it blows out hot air then that's good enough right? Wrong! I used to think that all hair dryers were the same until I tried the <a href="http://www.flatironexperts.com/Velecta-Paramount-Made-in-France-s/53.htm">Velecta Paramount Hair Dryer</a>, a professional grade hair dryer. What would normally take me 30 minutes to blow dry my long hair now takes me only 5-10 minutes depending on how damp my hair is.<br />
<br />
Blow drying your hair with a professional hair dryer is faster because the air flow is always greater unlike the drugstore hair dryers which would only blow out hot air. When using a pro hair dryer, your hair gets less damaged and frizzy. Most pro hair dryers also have adjustable heat and air settings so you can change the settings to your preference. There is also a cool-shot button to release cool air which is great when you're using your dryer for styling. Professional hair dryers are truly awesome, the only thing stopping most people from getting one is the price tag-- most retail around $200. =O Do I think it's worth it? Yes! I believe it's a great investment.<br />
<br />
In this post, I will be reviewing the <a href="http://www.misikko.com/hana-air-professional-hair-dryer.html">HANA air Professional Hair Dryer</a> from <a href="http://misikko.com/">Misikko.com</a>. I will also compare this with my HG hair dryer, my Velecta Paramount dryer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjvqaVwd0H7o9rvMqAI6-v_7med0DWVYjH4If-RQQkRYXp37RNqY2RQAOIPKBsyznZmCG4n4i1o30le4pOhRy2-xBqg6CH6lfFEPwRp3s9bIHhDyNbN8L-s-pyF-aJpGq2Na5x9PL-x-Q/s1600/hanaair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjvqaVwd0H7o9rvMqAI6-v_7med0DWVYjH4If-RQQkRYXp37RNqY2RQAOIPKBsyznZmCG4n4i1o30le4pOhRy2-xBqg6CH6lfFEPwRp3s9bIHhDyNbN8L-s-pyF-aJpGq2Na5x9PL-x-Q/s320/hanaair.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This hair dryer has a black glossy finish which gives it a very sleek look. Like the Velecta, it's lightweight and has three button features: one button controls heat, another controls the air flow, and the last is a cold shot button.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some features taken from the website:<br />
<ul><li>Ion Technology- condition hair & reduces static electricity</li>
<li>Tourmaline & Titanium Oxide Technology- natural ions promote healthier hair</li>
<li>Silver Nanotechnology- for antibacterial Protection</li>
<li>Scratch Resistant Shell with black metallico finish adds durability and is easy to clean</li>
<li>Long life motor with low noise</li>
<li>Gyroscopically balanced for easy handling</li>
<li>Fiberglass concentrator</li>
<li>Italian Design</li>
</ul>Both hair dryers have the latest tourmaline technology thats releases ions to add shine to your hair. I also find that both dry my hair in under 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYtumm0_97UdLiCUKdjiLLhKDnMNtRx_XEbxsrSpurMnTKvcUoqEkB6fJymWtWoYGc_GULpSixqxnmsGjDvZFuGI7-68MEt_Ho5T5hh_yXWOT0vbgaTB48ida5NXTjrmnt-rggEC1MInj/s1600/hana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYtumm0_97UdLiCUKdjiLLhKDnMNtRx_XEbxsrSpurMnTKvcUoqEkB6fJymWtWoYGc_GULpSixqxnmsGjDvZFuGI7-68MEt_Ho5T5hh_yXWOT0vbgaTB48ida5NXTjrmnt-rggEC1MInj/s320/hana.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>One drawback about this hair dryer is that the control buttons are place right inside the handle. When blow drying my hair, my fingers would slip and accidentally turn it off or change the heat settings. On the Velecta, the buttons are placed on top at the back which my fingers can't access.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">These hair dryers retail for $200 (well $194 to be exact). They both do an outstanding job and perform 10x better than your average hair dryer. I would recommend either one but if I had to choose, I'll most likely keep my Velecta because of the control button issues. Other than that, I think both are great. The ion technology makes my hair shinier and my hair is never frizzy anymore. What more can a girl ask for?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This reminds me of my Chi Silk Infusion so I quite like it.<br />

It's huge! Plus the barrel of the brush is made of wood so it's a bit too heavy for my liking. I prefer my hollow tourmaline round brushes.<br />

So what is your favourite hair dryer of all time?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">French braids are so fun to incorporate into simple hairstyles because they make the do look more intricate and chic. Instead of just bundling up my hair into a regular side ponytail, I french braided both sides of my head to add a little pizzazz (is that how you spell it???)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Artichokes are said to be very rich in antioxidants which play a vital role in our health and physical actvities. My family has been drinking artichoke tea for as long as I can remember, in fact, a lot of South East Asian countries are familiar with this. Artichokes help our bodies by increasing blood circulation and thus promoting healthy, radiant, younger looking skin. They also aide in digesting and reduce high cholesterol. Not to mention, they're delicious! I love them in dips and cold salads.<br />

Although this bronzer is shimmery, it's very subtle and not overwhelming. I love to apply this in the hollows of my cheeks and on my temples for a nice bronze glow. This bronzer looks dark in the pan but fear not, it's actually light and buildable. I use the little pink heart in the pan as a highlight because it looks like a pearly cream color on my tanned skin.<br />

The Happy Booster line consists of two blushes: <b>Rose</b> which is a rosy red color and <b>Natural</b> (pictured above) which has red, pink, and coral hearts. I love this blush because it gives my cheeks a pretty rosy glow. I've seen swatches of Rose and Natural online and they look nearly identical. The only difference is that Natural is a tad lighter which I prefer. I can see this color looking great on light and dark skin tones.<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This is marketed as an all-over translucent face powder but it's way too shimmery to serve that purpose. It's a light pale pink that looks white against my skin tone so this product will be better suited for lighter skin tones. The shimmer particles are bigger than that of the bronzer so it looks more like chunky sparkles. This might be a nice highlighter but against my tanned skin, the silver sparkles make me look frosty. Needless to say, this was my least favourite from the Happy Booster line. Pass!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

But it's scratchy and unforgiving! I tried applying blush with it but the shape of the bristles makes the application streaky and blotchy. Now I use it to clean my keyboards! I'm just so innovative that way you know?<br />
<br />
If I could only pick one product out of the three, it would be the Blush in Natural. It's such a pretty color that looks nice on most skin tones. However, I think that Physician's formula can do without the gimmicky stuff and the faulty brush.<br />
<br />
Physician's Formula products are quite expensive in Canada so always wait for the 40% off sales! :)neehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08082957808140880539noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523533223680044615.post-53707953640437985842011-06-12T17:25:00.000-07:002011-06-13T18:30:25.418-07:00Review & Swatches: NYX Rouge Cream Blushes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsqirAHMe5TfO1JCy1oxX2TFa6A18uvOekC8nCJ7X2PebpKmmVkyxrIrI0ASZI-uHeMpw6oAE2qJD24nKvbFKrNrRq5AhLLoSsTbRXpTPpuPkh9OOngJHqZA-EuZbJnvVgO3NESpm0yy9Q/s1600/nyx_creamblushes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsqirAHMe5TfO1JCy1oxX2TFa6A18uvOekC8nCJ7X2PebpKmmVkyxrIrI0ASZI-uHeMpw6oAE2qJD24nKvbFKrNrRq5AhLLoSsTbRXpTPpuPkh9OOngJHqZA-EuZbJnvVgO3NESpm0yy9Q/s400/nyx_creamblushes.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>NYX Rouge Cream Blush</b></span></div><br />
<b>The Claim:</b> "NYX Rouge cream blush offers radiant, long-lasting color in the form of velvety smooth cream. Infused with mineral oils, this blush is creamy in texture and provides a dewy glow for natural, fresh color."<br />
<br />
<b>Overall: </b>4 out of 5<br />
<b>Packaging:</b> 5 out of 5<br />
<b>Price:</b> $4.75 - $6.99 (cheapest I've seen on beautyjoint.com)<br />
<b>Size/Weight: </b>.19 OZ 5.3 g<br />
<b>Would you buy this again?</b> only some shades.<br />
<br />
<b>Pros: </b>These cream blushes are buttery smooth, very pigmented, non-sticky, easy to blend, and long lasting. The formula is wet upon application but dries to a matte finish. You could even wear this underneath your desired powder blush to increase the staying power.<br />
<br />
<b>Cons:</b> Unfortunately, the main ingredient is mineral oil so this is not something I'd wear everyday. I have normal to dry skin and this hasn't caused me to break out. I'm not sure if this will be good for people with oily skin as it might clog pores.<br />

Cool-toned. Matte.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Thoughts:</b> This color is intensely pigmented. You only need to stipple a little on your cheeks to give yourself a bubblegum pink flush. I wore it once and it lasted all day! However, when I tried washing it off, it left a stain on my cheeks (I wore it on top of my moisturizer, sans foundation). This is the only color that left a stain. The others came off with soap and water.</div><br />

I think this is a nice color for fairer skin tones.</div><br />

The shimmer in this blush is obvious on my cheeks so if you don't like shimmer, stay away! I love the color when swatched but when blended, all I see are shimmers with a tiny hint of peach.

The faux leather is made of a really soft material that doesn't aggravate my pinky toe like most wedge sandals do. I regret not getting another pair in Gold. :( I got a size 5.5 and they fit me well. These were only $30 but I would have paid double for them. One of my best buys :)</div><br />
