Sigma Brushes....

Hey Beauties!

As you all may know or may not know, Sigma has released their new line of make up brushes called the 'Make Me Up' now this kit is available in 4 shades and has a catered name for each colour brush set...

Retailing at $99

The Black kit is called...'Make Me Classy'

The Purple kit is called...'Make Me Crazy'

The Pink kit is called...'Make Me Blush'

The Aqua kit is called...'Make Me Cool'

Sigma have introduced this collection by stating The new Sigma Beauty 'Make Me Up' collection! The best selling professional 12 brush kit now comes in beautiful colors and inside a durable and multifunctional container! Besides protecting your brushes, this exclusive container transforms into 2 stylish brush holders!'

Each kit comes with 12 brushes which are, Small Angle - E65, Medium Angled Shading - E70 ,Large Shader - E60, Pencil - E30, Large Angled Contour - F40, Large Angled Contour - F40, Duo Fibre - F50, Foundation - F60, Concealer - F70, Tapered Blending - E40, Eye Shading - E55, and Eyeliner - E05

Overall, after seeing the release of this kit i was quite impressed, firstly by the creation of the kit, i really like the idea of the brushes coming in the brush holders. You are able to display the brushes infront of you in this sturdy looking brush holder and after using the brushes you are able to close the brushes in the same holder which has a lid, that way you know that you wont be returning to brushes which have been in open air and might have attracted dust from the air. Very nice. Secondly i am really liking the colours of each brush sets, it fun, youthful and can bring abit of colour to any dresser! Also looking at the value of this kit which is $99, you are saving $73 if you were to buy the brushes seperately. Great deal!

Main point here is that i have not tried these brushed out yet, but if i am able to get my hands on them, i surely will try them and report back to you.

This collection just caught my eye from the colour ranges and the idea of the packaging.

Chanel Spring Makeup collection 2011 – Les Perles de Chanel

Chanel has released the pictures and information for their Spring makeup collection for 2011, which is called Les Perles de Chanel.

Pearls and Chanel go hand-in-hand and Peter Phillips, the Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup has used the glistening reflections of pearls as motivation to propose the fresh and radiant Les Perles de Chanel Spring 2011 Makeup Collection.

I constantly long for the Chanel makeup collections to release and it’s not any different this time round with the Les Perles de Chanel makeup collection! It’s truly a gorgeous mix of iridescent peachy, pink as well as green shades with a little bit of shimmering greeny black pearl thrown in – sooo beautiful!

The one thing I am really looking forward to is the Chanel Ombrés Perlées de Chanel eyeshadow compact. I absolutely love the colour and can see all the shades working so well together. With this compact in hand I don’t think I will need to reach out for any other shades of eye colour from my dresser!

So here are some pictures and all the information on this collection.

First up the Chanel Spring Makeup collection Les Perles de Chanel nail polishes, who many are awaiting for, I can surely say I’ll be picking up at least one shade if possible.

Chanel Spring Makeup Collection 2011 - Les Perles de Chanel nail polishes

There are 3 Le Vernis nail polishes in the Chanel Spring Makeup collection:

• Chanel Le Vernis Pearl Drop nail polish: a pure and white in natural daylight that reveals golden reflections under evening light
• Chanel Le Vernis Pêche Nacrée nail polish: a soft peach shade with a bronze effect
• Chanel Le Vernis Black Pearl nail polish:  a pearly grey shimmering with deep blue and green reflections, like a black pearl from the Pacific

The Chanel Black Pearl nail polish looks stunning! It is the polish which the model is wearing on the Les Perles de Chanel look shot above. This may be the colour for me for this collection!

The Spring collection Chanel Les Perles de Chanel nail polish costs £17 and will be available from the 28th January 2011. It is now available on Selfridges website http://www.selfridges.com/

Next up, the most awaited by myself, are the eyeshadows from the Chanel Les Perles de Chanel Spring makeup collection…

Chanel Ombrés Perlées de Chanel eyeshadow compact.

Chanel Ombrés Perlées de Chanel eyeshadow compact: Chanel have changed the shape of their classic black eyeshadow compact to a rectangular shape to hold 5 beautiful iridescent eyeshadows for the Spring Les Perles de Chanel makeup collection.

The five eyeshadow shades are:

• Blanc perlé
• Rose porcelaine
• Violine clair
• Gris vert
• Gris noir scintillant

I really need to have this! I did swatch the promotion release of this compact in westfieldthe other day, and have to say the pigmentation it create so it the textures. I can see these colours are going to be easy to blend and can see a sexy smokey eye with this compact.

The Spring Collection Ombres Perlées de Chanel eyeshadow compact costs £39 and will be available from the 28th January 2011. It is now available on Selfridges website http://www.selfridges.com/

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Regard Perlé eyeshadow quad from the Les Perles de Chanel Spring 2011 makeup collection.

Chanel Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow compact in Regard Perlé: this eyeshadow compact has 3 pale and pretty eyeshadows with a deep dark green eyeshadow for contrast.

I liked this quad but not more than the 5 eye shadow compact, it didn’t really wow me in any way…

My First BLOG!

Hey Beauties!

I don't know exactly know what to write on my first blog??? I am actually lost for words...which is seriously not like me. Lol.

I think im going to start with my wishlist for the M.A.C Peacocky Collection, i know this may seem strange to some who are over in the US or in any other place where this collection has been released, but here in the UK this collection has not been released yet. I believe it will be released in the first week of Feb 2011.

Moving on...after reading many blogs and watching (god knows how many) youtube videos on this collection i had created my WISHLIST :)

So here goes....

From the Mega Metals Eyeshadows i want to swatch and see these colours before buying....

Dalliance, Prance, Centre Stage, Sexpectation, Odalusque, Ego, Spectale of yourself, Tweet Me and finally Dandizette.

I know, i know, it seems alot but like i said i will be going over to the M.A.C counters and will be swatching these colours before buying, so there maybe be a few shades i may not like as much.

From the kissable lip colours i have my eye on four particular shades which are Woo Me, Flaunting it, Scandelicious and Enchantee.

I will state that the previous m.a.c collections have not really 'wowed' me nor have they really interested me, so i have saved up for this particular collection :)

Let me know if you are anticipating on this collection, or any recommendations for any products from this collection x

Milly xoxo
