Beauty ponders

A few months ago I bought my first Serge Lutens & I have been hooked ever since... I now have 2 of them, which both smell divine. The only problem with Serge Lutens is that it was only available in Antwerp / Brussels where I live, Belgium (yes, you know, that tiny little country). But now....
it has become more & more available as one of Belgiums biggest perfume houses is also selling it in selected stores of theirs. Off course I'm talking about IciParisXL. Yes, they do offer Serge Lutens since not too long, but not every store has it. I know one in Hasselt does, which is close to where I live, so guess what I'm going to do next time I go shopping?

Yesssss, got that right, sniffing me some perfume and maybe buying one? Maybe or certainly?


Serge Lutens perfume costs around 70euros for 50ml

I've already talked plenty of Sigma brushes and by now you know that I'm not their biggest fan, their face brushes aren't that special, some of their eye brushes are ok but they do shine in their Sigmax line of synthetic brushes. I still love the F80 & use it daily, and since I've purchased the other two: F82 rounded and F84 angled, they also get plenty of use.

New is the third one from the left, a pointed one & the 4 smaller versions on the right for more precision work. Personally I don't feel the need of purchasing them, I guess they would be great for concealing & such - which I don't use. Maybe I'll purchase the big pointed in the future, let's just wait & see what other people's thoughts on it are!

Will you be purchasing?

About every year Avon releases a limited collection of summer / winter polishes. Last summer there were two available: Vintage Blue which I did a NOTD on here (actually it doesn't do it justice, it's such a lovely polish, I'll do another NOTD of it soon) and Luxe Lavender. But this summer they offer 4 shades: Vintage Blue (below) & Luxe Lavender (middle) from the previous collection, the 2 new shades are Vanilla Shake (above) & Pastel Pink (2nd).

Since I already have two of them - and may I add I'm happy with them, easy in usage & good coverage - I won't repurchase those, it's 12ml and with a decent polish stash you don't finish one that soon. But I will definitely order the 2 new colours, I'm mostly curious about the soft yellow shade.

If you love pastel colours look into these ones by Avon, I highly recommend them!

Normally I don't do news posts because there are so many other sites out there that only offer news and they are much quicker than I am. But today -yesterday that is- I got a mail from Sigma and just had to share this with you girls, in case you don't already know. If you do, feel free to click away!

Some time ago I did a review on the Sigma F80 which I still love and use today. So I am really happy to announce that they are going to extend this collection. On the picture above you can see the F80 flat kabuki in the middle, left to it is the F84 angled kabuki for cheek stuff and right is the F82 round kabuki for precise application in smaller/hard to get areas such as nose/eyes.

The reason I am most excited about this range is that it's not available through other brands such as MAC, they don't offer these kind of brushes. I'll surely be on the lookout for "honest" reviews of these 2 new brushes and maybe I'll purchase them, will keep you up to date. Brushes are available through their website, they cost around 15$/each which is a good budget price and the shipping is fair too.

Do you plan on purchasing something from this line?
