Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a great start. Last month I got some amazing products from Sigma Beauty Nightlife by Camila Coelho Collection. The Nightlife by Camila Coelho collection is surely one of the most beautiful collections by Sigma Beauty. No more talking, let's just get to the post to have a detailed look at few of the products from the collection that I am reviewing today...

Sigma Beauty Nightlife Brush Set

Nightlife Brush Set:
Starting with Sigma Beauty Nightlife Brush Set. The Nightlife brush set consists of 5 best-selling Sigma Beauty brushes. It contains both eye and face brushes that are essential for any makeup look. The three eye brushes in the set are essential for perfect application and blending of eye makeup. The two face brushes are versatile and can be used to apply blusher, highlighter and also for contouring. The set contains Sigma F35 and F40 which are Must-Haves in my opinion. The most captivating thing about these brushes is their glittery handles. I can say, this is by far the most gorgeous brush set in my collection. Quality of the brushes is great like always. The bristles are soft and I didn't experience any shedding so far. The handles of brushes are pretty yet sturdy. Overall, the brush set isn't just gorgeous but contains some of the best brushes by Sigma Beauty and I love it.

All the shades are super pigmented and have buttery soft texture. They are really easy to blend and have great staying power. I experienced minor fall out with few matte shades in the palette but that was nothing too bothersome. This is a very versatile palette and I totally love the variety of shades in this palette. Yet another heart-winning eye shadow palette by Sigma Beauty.

Sigma Beauty In Fine Feather Lip Liner

In Fine Feather Lip Liner and Dance 'Til Dawn Lipstick:
The collection also consists of one Lip liner (In Fine Feather) and one Lipstick (Dance 'Til Dawn). The lipstick and liner are Camila Coelho signature shades. Dance 'Til Dawn lipstick is a light pink lipstick. It looks almost nude pink on my lips. The texture of lipstick is very creamy and its color payoff is amazing. Staying power of the lipstick however is just 3-4 hours because of its creamy finish and texture. In Fine Feather lip liner is a very gorgeous rosy pink matte lip liner. Its texture is creamy. It can be used to outline lips or can be worn alone, all over the lips. The shade can be worn with many pink lipsticks and is perfect for all skin tones.

At the end, here is a soft glam look that I have created using these products from Sigma Beauty Nightlife by Camila Coelho Collection. In this look I have used Nightlife eye shadow palette on my eyes, In Fine Feather Liner on my lips and Nightlife brush set for application and blending. For those glowy cheeks, I have used Sigma Beauty Shimmer Cream in Brilliant.
All in all, I love Sigma Beauty Nightlife by Camila Coelho Collection. From packaging to color selection and products performance, I love everything about it. All the products are worth the price and worth trying. The Nightlife eye shadow palette and brush set have surely become my favorite and I see myself using these a lot this year. I will be surely featuring these in different makeup looks that I will be sharing on my Instagram.

Hey everyone,

Hope your week is off to a great start. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on something unique and useful that I recently got. Fizzah and Sadaf, two talented makeup enthusiasts and the girls behind The Pout Painters, came up with this brilliant idea of introducing these Artiste Palettes for mixing different makeup products. So let's get to the review and see what do I have to say about these Artiste Palettes by The Pout Painters...

Artiste Palettes by The Pout Painters

Artiste Palettes by The Pout Painters

Artiste Palettes by The Pout Painters

The Pout Painters Artiste Palettes come in three shapes and sizes. The sizes and dimensions of palettes are:

• The Large Artiste Palette (Size: 10cm x 15cm)
• The Artiste Ring - Oval (Size: 4.1cm x2.9cm)
• The Artiste Ring - Square  (Size: 4cm x 4cm)
• Spatula Size: (Size: 18cm)

The Pout Painters - The Artiste Palette (Large with Spatula)

The Pout Painters - The Artiste Rings (Square and Oval)

The material of all palettes is non-magnetic, rust-proof stainless steel. I like how each palette comes with a complimentary black pouch to keep it safe and clean. The palettes are lightweight. When I first saw these in pictures, I expected these to be bigger and heavier. However when I got them, I was surprised to see how lightweight these were. The size of all palettes is perfect to use and hold in hand. The rings are adjustable and size of ring palettes is neither too big nor too small. They are just perfect for quickly mixing some foundation or concealer without making your hands messy.

You can mix almost any makeup product such as foundations, concealers, lipsticks, liquid brow tints, liquid highlighters and nail colors on these palettes. The palettes are not only limited to mixing makeup products but they are so versatile and can be used to mix many things. You can mix hair dyes, acrylic paints and many other things on these palettes. These palettes can be washed easily with just water, any liquid soap or your regular face wash.  You can also clean them with makeup remover or makeup removing wipes.

Mixing Concealers on The Pout Painters Artiste Ring

All in all, I would say these multipurpose palettes are very useful and make makeup mixing a lot easier and fun. The artiste rings are really good for makeup junkies like us who need to mix basic makeup products like foundation and concealers only in small amount. The large artiste palette is good for makeup artists and enthusiasts who want to mix and match different products and create different shades. The Pout Painters Artiste Palettes are a great investment and I surely recommend all makeup lovers to get few of these.


The Goods:

• Available in three different sizes and designs
• Made of good quality stainless steel
• Great for mixing cream or liquid products
• Come with complimentary pouch
• Easy to wash and clean
• Travel friendly
• Rust-proof
• Lightweight

The Bads:

• Prone to scratches and fine lines on surface (which can be buffed out)

Price & Availability: These Artiste Palettes by The Pout Painters are available at The Pout Painters Facebook page in the Shop section. The Large Artiste Palette with Spatula costs Rs 1200. The Artiste Rings cost Rs 600 each (without spatula). All the palettes can be bought with or without spatula.

(Discount code is valid till 21 Dec, 2016)




Overall Rating: 4.7/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Today am reviewing my current favorite face brush. Its Sigma Beauty - F25 - Tapered Face Brush. I have been using this brush quite a lot since I got it and its definitely one of my favorite Sigma Beauty brushes. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about Sigma F25 Tapered Face Brush.

Sigma Beauty F25 Tapered Face Brush

Sigma Beauty F25 Tapered Face Brush

Sigma Beauty F25 Tapered Face Brush

Sigma F25 Tapered Face Brush is quite sturdy yet light weight. Like all other Sigma Beauty brushes, it also has the patented 3-ring brush ferrule which ensures durability of the brush. The handle of the brush is black and it feels light-weight yet good quality. I have washed this brush a couple of times and so far have not experienced any fallout at all.

Sigma Beauty F25 Tapered Face Brush

Sigma F25 is made with exclusive SigmaTech™ synthetic fibers. The bristles of this brush are super soft. I can clearly say this is the softest brush I have ever used and that's what made me fell in love with it. Even after several washes, the brush has maintained its original shape which is a huge plus.

The F25 brush is quite large in size. It is larger than most of the blusher/contour brushes I have in my collection. It has perfect egg-like shape with tapered tip. The shape and size of the brush makes it unique and versatile. It can be used for contouring, for applying blusher or highlighter, for precise application of color on the cheek bones, along the jaw line or for applying powder on face. I find it perfect for applying blush/bronzer. It is great for defining the cheekbones and is particularly great for highly pigmented blushers. It applies and blends the blush so perfectly and has become my favorite blush brush now.

Applying Blusher with Sigma F25 Tapered Face Brush

All in all, I love Sigma F25 brush and think its a great multi-purpose brush. The price of the brush is a little steep but it is surely something worth spending money on. This is the softest brush I have ever used and I love using it everyday for applying blusher or bronzer. The SigmaTech™ fibers are really great quality. This brush doesn't shed at all. It is great quality and has super soft bristles. The bristles feel so gentle on the skin and I love using it.


The Goods:

• Made with great quality synthetic fibers
• Super soft and dense bristles
• Good quality handle
• Feels gentle on skin
• Doesn't lose its shape
• Hypoallergenic
• Doesn't shed

The Bads:

• Pricey

Price & Availability: Sigma Beauty F25 Brush is available online at Sigma Beauty Website for $33.00. Don't forget to check the complete collection of SigmaTech™ brushes.

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Today am sharing my thoughts on two new products by Essence Cosmetics; Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel and Precise Eyeliner Brush. Since I have naturally thin eyebrows with fine hair and lots of gaps, therefore using brow pencil or powder is a must for me. My favorite product to fill my brows is Sigma Beauty Brow Powder Duo. However I was intrigued to try any tinted eyebrow gel and luckily came across this new Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel by Essence Cosmetics which comes with an affordable price tag. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about these two products.

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel and Precise Eyeliner Brush

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel- 01 Brown

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel 01 Brown:
Starting with the colour & shape eyebrow gel. As the name already explains, this is a tinted/colored eyebrow gel. This brow gel comes in a round pot that contains enough quantity of the product. It somehow reminds me of ABH Brow Pomade that I have on my wishlist. I am glad Essence Cosmetics introduced this affordable version of eyebrow gel. Not sure if it could be a possible dupe for ABH Brow Pomade or other brow gels though.

The shade that I got is 01 Brown which is perfect for those with black or brown eyebrows. The gel formula applies smoothly and easily. This all-in-one eyebrow gel defines and sets the brows and keeps them intact for many hours. It doesn't feel sticky and sets to natural looking, matte finish. The colour & shape brow gel is fairly pigmented. However, it is not highly pigmented and does not fill large gaps easily. I feel the need to apply a lot of quantity of the brow gel to properly define and fill my thin eyebrows. The staying power of this brow gel is really impressive and even in such hot and humid weather, it keeps my brows intact and stays almost all day long without transferring or smudging.

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel 01 Brown Swatch

Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush

Precise Eyeliner Brush

Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush:
Essence precise eyeliner brush is a multipurpose angled brush that can be used to apply gel liner, brow color/powder or for precise application of eyeshadow. The brush comes in transparent outer packaging and has white floral pattern on the handle that looks so attractive. This brush has a precise slanted tip which is not very stiff. The bristles of the brush are soft and good quality. Since the tip of this brush is not very firm, it does not work very well for applying gel eye liner. However, the size and shape of this brush is best for applying eyebrow color or eye shadow on lower lid. I use it for applying essence colour & shape eyebrow gel. It applies the brow gel with perfection and provides more control for precise application of color. Those with very thin brows like me may feel the need to use a stiffer brush for even better application of color.

In the picture below, I have applied Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel in shade 01 Brown using Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush.

Essence Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel Applied Using Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush

Overall, am quite pleased with these new products by Essence Cosmetics. The precise eyeliner brush is pretty decent for the price and works well for applying brow gel. However, it is not the best brush to apply eyeliner with. The eyebrow gel is not as pigmented as other eyebrow powders/colors and does not fill huge gaps easily. Nonetheless, I like it a lot and think it is great for everyday use. It is an all-in-one brow gel that defines and sets the brows easily. The staying power of this brow gel is really impressive too. For the price, its something unique and really good and I am glad Essence Cosmetics came up with such affordable version of brow gel that was much needed. Both the products are affordable and I surely recommend you to try these.



Price & Availability: Essence Cosmetics Colour & Shape Brow Gel is priced at Rs 560/- and the Precise Eyeliner Brush at Rs 280/- only. Available at leading cosmetic/drugstores in major cities of Pakistan. The brand is also available online at Just4girls and Beautyarena.

Overall Rating:
Colour & Shape Eyebrow Gel: 4.3/5....!!!
Precise Eyeliner Brush: 4/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Few weeks ago I got the chance to shop from this e-store named "Tmart". I got two products from them including one "Trendy Red Messenger Bag" and second is this "Black Cylindrical Makeup Brushes Holder" that am reviewing today. I was looking for such a brush holder everywhere that can keep my brushes safe from dust and am glad I found one at Tmart. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about the quality of this brush holder.

Black Cylindrical Brush Holder from Tmart

Black Cylindrical Brush Holder from Tmart

This cylindrical brush holder is made up of leather with hard cardboard inside. It has two buttons at the sides to tightly close the brush holder. This brush holder is not only great for keeping your brushes clean but is also great for traveling. Now I don't have to worry about packaging and safety of my brushes while traveling. The quality of the material however is not really remarkable. While carefully removing the sticker from the back of the holder, the leather slightly got torn and now I have a little yet visible tear/whole there. It also has a strong annoying leather plus glue like smell which is really bothersome for me.

Black Cylindrical Brush Holder from Tmart

Now coming to the size and dimensions of this brush holder.The approximate dimensions of this brush holder as per the website are (2.72 x 6.93)" / (6.9 x 17.6)cm (D x H).  It is spacious enough and I can fit many of my favorite brushes in it. However, its not much longer in length. So better not close the lid if you have placed your brushes with longer handles in it or else the bristles can get de-shaped. 

Black Cylindrical Brush Holder from Tmart

All in all this is a nice multipurpose holder which can be used for storing makeup brushes, pencils, other makeup tools and much more. The material of this brush holder is not that great though and I do wish it was slightly longer in length. However, this brush holder is still perfect for keeping my brushes clean and safe and is great for traveling. Overall, I am glad I found it and its a nice addition to my vanity.


Price & Availability: Available online at Tmart for $8.52/- (Almost PKR 870/-) only. Don't forget to check their website and join them on Facebook and Twitter too.



My Rating: 3.9/5

Hey Beauties,

Hope you all are enjoying the winters. Today am going to review my new favorite face brushes by Sigma Beauty. Am talking about the Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki and Precision Brushes. I got these brushes last month and have been using these a lot since the day I got these. In fact, these brushes have made me habitual of applying foundation and concealer with a brush not just occasionally but on daily basis too. Okay so no more talking let's just get to the review and see what I have to say about these two brushes.

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Brushes

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Precision Brush

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Precision Brush

Sigma Beauty 3DHD™ Precision Brush:
This small yet perfectly designed brush is my current favorite brush to apply concealer. It is such a versatile brush and can be used to apply foundation/concealer anywhere on face or eyes. This brush is very soft and thus is perfect for applying and blending concealer on the delicate under eye area. Its uniquely designed tip easily reaches the difficult to reach areas on your face such as the inner corner of eyes, upper lips, cupid bow or the area around your lips. As for me, I love using it for applying and blending concealer under my eyes and for cleaning area around my lips after lipstick application.

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Precision Brush in Action

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki Brush

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki Brush

Sigma Beauty 3DHD™ Kabuki Brush:
Designed and engineered with perfection, this kabuki brush is perfect for applying foundation evenly on face. This is my current go-to foundation brush and I love this brush more than any other foundation brush. I used to apply foundation with the foundation and buffing brushes in my RT Core Collection Set. But since I have got this, I find myself reaching for this one more often now.  However, I have to admit that for a better and much smoother coverage, I still feel the need to buff my foundation using the RT buffing brush afterwards. But overall, this brush is a multitasker and makes the foundation application and blending task really easy. It is so soft and dense. The best thing about this brush is its unique design and the pointed tip that easily reaches the hard to reach areas on face. When I am in a hurry, I don't even have to use a concealer brush separately as this brush can easily do that job too. Well this kabuki brush is my favorite among the two 3DHD brushes and I love using it regularly.

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki Brush in Action

Overall, both the 3DHD brushes are really good quality. I have already washed these but haven't experienced any shedding till now. They are soft and dense and their unique design is what makes me love these a lot. The 3DHD Kabuki brush is my favorite among the two and I use it more often. If you want to invest in some good quality face brushes, I definitely recommend you to try these Sigma Beauty 3DHD Brushes. These are now available in copper too.


Price & Availability: This 3DHD Kabuki Brush costs $24 and the 3DHD Precision Brush costs $19. Both the brushes are available online at Sigma Beauty website HERE. Don't forget to use Feb discount code BOLD2015 at checkout to get 10% off your purchase at Sigma Beauty. (Valid till 28th Feb, 2015 only)
