R.I.P Item: Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer?

1 Feb

dreammousse

Lately I’ve been hearing rumblings that Maybelline is discontinuing their amazing Dream Mousse Concealer. So I did a little research and found that it’s no longer listed on their US website and I read a response from Maybelline on makeupalley.com saying that they are regrettably discontinuing it.  However, it is still on the Canadian and UK websites, so I don’t know if stores are going to continue carrying it here, or if these websites are not as up-to-date as the US one.  I know this is a favorite concealer for a lot of people (including my sister!), so stock up now while you still have a chance!

Interestingly, Maybelline is not discontinuing their other Dream Mousse products: Dream Smooth Mousse foundation, Dream Liquid Mousse foundation, Dream Matte Mousse foundation, as well as the Dream Mousse blushes.  These are all safe for now!

I don’t think there is one.  I don’t think one single line has got everything right yet.

New Sigma Brushes!

20 Feb

I’m so excited! The new Sigma brushes are almost here!

My Wish List

SS226

SS222

SS217

SS138

Also, I realize I never wrote a post reviewing the Sigma brushes I already own.  I just felt like there are a lot of reviews out there already and I agree with most of them! The brushes are amazing!! But, sometimes the black-haired brushes can be a little scratchy – the 224 for example.

Anyway, remember February 22nd and order your new Sigma brushes!

Yes, another new look :)

15 Feb

Ok, so I overhauled the site again.  I didn’t really like the last look.  And I like this a ton better! I’m getting a logo designed for me, which will be up in the next few days.  The site’s a work in progress, but I think it’ll be great once its done! :D

Edit: My boyfriend Derek overhauled the site hahaha I am in no way web-savvy!
