Sigma E40 Brush Review

I have disappeared for a while, life has been HAPPENING. I got hired at Sephora! So crazy. 

Anyway, Nail Polish Canada (my FAVOURITE website for Canadian beauty!) gave me the opportunity to try the Sigma E40 blending brush. This is HUGE for me because I'm a brush newbie and Sigma has such a good reputation. I have spent months at this point testing this brush with different looks, different shadows and different textures. 

These are just a few of the MANY looks I've done with this brush... I haven't used anything else to blend my shadow with. I didn't realize how important blending is until this brush simplified it for me. This is perfect for beginners OR makeup artists. I'm going to have to buy more Sigma brushes because this one has amplified my makeup to a whole new level. I also feel super fancy saying "Sigma E40"

You can find all of the Sigma brushes that Nail Polish Canada carries here. 

I HIGHLY recommend you grab one of these brushes as soon as you can! 

Thank you so much Tiffany & Nail Polish Canada for giving me this opportunity and changing my makeup game. I love you guys so much. 

Tarte Friends and Family 30% Off Haul

Tarte Cosmetics

What I got and why!

Tarteist Contour Palette- I have been wanting this for MONTHS but could never justify it. 30% off is a good enough reason for me!

The Buffer - airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush - I don't have a foundation brush, and look at the reviews - seriously! 

Amazonian Clay foundation - I've heard amazing things about this for a long time. 

So Fine liquid liner- I go through liquid liner like water, and it's new!

Marine Boosting Mist - This is replacing my Mac Fix +. Cruelty Free!

Aquacealer Concealer - I've never tried a Tarte concealer and this one intrigued me. 

I'm so excited to try everything out, I honestly haven't used much Tarte so now I get a chance to test the brand out! 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit - Gleam Swatches

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit "Gleam"

Too Faced Peanut Butter And Jelly Palette Swatches

Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette

Okay this palette is heaven. The shadows are so pigmented, they are so blendable, they smell amazing.. I just can't. You NEED this. 

CoverGirl TruNaked Nudes Palette Swatches

CoverGirl TruNaked Nudes

Ok. This palette is SO pigmented. I don't know where CoverGirl even came from with this. But it's SO MESSY. It gets everywhere. I'm really excited to use this on my eyes!

Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Palette Swatches

Maybelline The Blushed Nudes

Okay, so, when I first heard Maybelline was coming out with palettes I had no interest in purchasing them or trying them because I have so many high end palettes and in Canada the lowest they go is $13.99 which is way too expensive to me for drugstore. HOWEVER I came across someone selling it for $6! I grabbed it.

The swatches are a lot better in person than in the picture. They are more pigmented than I expected! I'm really looking forward to using this.

Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser

I absolutely LOVE this product. I use it after I remove my makeup daily. It applies smoothly and very gently but is very efficient. It makes your skin feel renewed. Your pores look instantly smaller and better, while creating a smooth feel. I have combination, sensitive, acne prone skin and this hasn't made any of my problems worse. It doesn't make my skin drier or more oily, and I haven't broken out! I seriously can't recommend this enough, I'm even going to get my boyfriend using it! 

Biore Baking Soda Scrub

This product is very innovative and new to me. I have never come across anything like this! I like the thought and the idea behind it a lot. I like the actual product too, but there are a few things I don't prefer. The scent is unexplainable to me but definitely not good. It's not overpowering though, so that's good! The other thing is that it's difficult to get the right amount of product. You pour out the baking soda and add water, but unfortunately there's a lot of room for error in that process. I often feel like I'm wasting product. Aside from those two things, I really enjoy this as well! It's gentle enough for every day use and it feels like it transforms your skin after just one use! I recommend this as well! 

These products are amazing on their own but are amplified when used together! You definitely don't need both but if you want your skin to be at it's best, I would splurge for both!
