Sigma brush holder

My current night routine

 Lately my skin has been sooo dry. Mostly due to pregnancy hormones and the weather. This is my current skin care routine. It seems that it has been helping calm my skin irritation down and adding tons of moisture to my skin. (Better than my last pregnancy!)

I first apply the vitamin C whitening solution that was referred to me by Clara. Then I apply the La Mer cream and mix a few drops of the Josie Maran Argan Oil. It helps to make the consistency less thick as the LaMer cream is pretty thick. Then i finish with an eye cream. Occassionally I put on the Lancome Genefique serum sample but I have not found that to be helpful at all.

New Sigma brushes!

I have been watching makeup tutorials lately and all i hear is these sigma brushes. I finally took the plunge after obsessing about it for months and got them as  they were highly recommended! I love them...! They are soft and very full....can't wait to try them.

F80: Flat kabuki. The famous brush for applying foundation of all kind: cream, powder and liquid and its supposed to be a pretty airbrushed finish.

F84: Angled kabuki is another favorite of many to apply foundation in harder to reach corners. Also can be used for bronzers and blush.

F30: Large powder brush. I wanted a better minieral foundation brush and this is lovely. Large and fluffy!

This is the F80 kabuki next to my old favorite sonia kashuk flat kabuki.

Sephora haul from vib sale!

There was a 20% off sale from sephora for VIB members. This happens only once a year. How could I miss the chance to stock up! My favorites were the dior compact makeup kit and the laira mercier eye palette. Love!

Moisturizing Cleansers

I need a moisturizing cleanser since my skin is quite dry from the pregnancy. I have been using the cleanse and tone from Nuskin, and I was happy with it, but I found something else that was a bit less expensive and both foam, and comes in pumps.  Nuskin Cleanse & tone, $38.

There is not much of a lather, but its gentle.

Fion, $20 at Takashima, or sasa.com. Made in Japan.

There is more lather, and its very soft. I will keep trying both products until I am out but so far I like this one better.

Eyeliner

I am an eyeliner kinda girl, and used many many different brands including Stila, Kat Von D, Dior, etc. My favorites always goes back to Japanese brands. My current favorite is this one and I got it from Takashima, i have it in both black and brown. Its high moisture, very sharp or thick, waterproof, and dries quick.

Argan Oil by Josie Maran

So i have been wanting to try this oil, from Sephora. I have dry skin in certain spots and so they had a sample size for $19 so I decided to try it. Its pretty nice, it moisturizes my skin and easy to put on and not oily feeling after. But, it doesn't do anything except moisturize, so i am not sure if i will repurchase for full size.

Eyeshadow for Work

So I got this new palette to wear for work. Its has all matte color, and I like it so far, very mellow colors.For the most part, i only use 2-3 colors, the middle 3. For smokey eyes, I can use the black. its really, really pigmented...
