First Impressions of Sigma's Lip Makeup, Swatches + Discount Code

First Impressions of Sigma's Lip Makeup, Swatches + Discount Code

Swatches Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, August 16, 2017

Sigma's makeup brushes are a staple in my makeup routine, with the Diffused Crease Brush (E38), Soft Blend Concealer Brush (F64), and 3DHD Kabuki Brush playing a role each morning as I rush about. However, I had not tried any makeup from the brand before.
I can now tell you that the lippies and the eyeliner are as great as the brushes. The pigmentation and the creamy texture are as marvellous as you would want! I have some swatches further below, though detailed review posts are coming soon.
To mark the 70th anniversary of India's independence, Sigma has a generous offer - code INDIA20 will get you a generous 20% off your order until August 17!

Cutiepiemarzia Collab Memebox 2 coming soon!

Cutiepiemarzia Collab Memebox 2 coming soon!

I love the Memebox collaboration boxes, where they get a beauty blogger or vlogger to pick her favourite products for a beauty box. You can check out my review of the CoffeeBreakWithDani collab box here.
Which is why I am super-excited about Memebox's second collaboration with Cutiepiemarzia. I had missed out on the first edition, which you can see here. This box promises to be even more exciting than the previous number!
All collaboration Memeboxes are superboxes, which means the products are likely to be full-sized. And they contain cult-favourites, and are unboxed so you can see the contents before you buy! What's not to like?
Cutiepiemarzia 2 will go out on sale on September 25, 2014, at 9 a.m. PST, which means there are just hours left! Save the date and time on your schedules and grab one before the box is sold out - I believe this is one box that will sell out very quickly! Watch out for the box here. Do use code RYDX for $5 off your order :)

Beautyblender Detailers makeup brush set preview and teaser photos

Beautyblender Detailers makeup brush set preview and teaser photos

Preview Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, December 04, 2013

My Beauty Junction is the first to try out the Detailers makeup brushes from the Beautyblender and here is an exclusive preview (premiere, if you like) of these amazing brushes, which are due to launch in January 2014. I will post a detailed review of the Detailers set including structure and material of the brushes, purchasing details, cleansing, user experience and usage tips in a week or two.
I had reviewed the black Beautyblender Pro sponge in June and posted a teaser about the launch of the Detailers brushes in September.
These brushes are not as good as I expected - they are FAR, FAR BETTER. And they - at least two of them - have changed the way I apply makeup and have already acquired Holy Grail brush status.

Detailers: Coming up from the original Beautyblender... a potential HG?

I am beyond thrilled to hear that the Beautyblender's crafter, Rea Ann Silva, is launching a set of makeup brushes known as "Detailers". In my review of the Original Beautyblender Pro (here), I said it had replaced every single face makeup brush/sponge/applicator I've tried/owned and concluded by wishing they would come out with eye brushes, too. Did they read that post and oblige with the Detailers brushes, or am I flattering myself?
Needless to say, I'm waiting to get a set as soon as the Beauty Blender brushes are launched as they promise professional results. I especially adore the cute mini-blender charm on the Plush Brush and want to try Soft Touch and Chisel.
