I broke my Sigma brush and I won’t replace it

Real-Techniques-Makeup-Brushes

I have absolutely nothing against Sigma brushes, in fact I’ve been using the F82 round top kabuki for over three years without swapping out for any other brush.

But for some silly and strange reason, I had in my head I wanted to change my routine in cleansing my makeup brushes. This is where it all became my fault and I needed new brushes within 24 hours after making this terrible mistake.

Rather than swirling the makeup brush with cleanser in my hands to wash it, I let that favorite makeup brush of mine soak in a cup full of makeup remover. I noticed that I got the barrel of the brush submerged. Problem #1 right there. I didn’t realize it would loosen up the glue and make the bristles fall out immediately after I rinsed it out. I squeezed out the excess water and whoops, there goes the bristles with it. I am so remorseful. My poor brush. At least it wasn’t super expensive, and I mean it did last me three years. I have fond memories of this brush, since it was the first thing I ever reviewed on my YouTube channel.

Modeling my coworkers Fossil purchases

No Comments

I took my co-workers newest Fossil purchases that she bought from the Toronto Premium Outlet Mall just off the 401, and took some photos of me modeling it. Haha!! It never gets old, seeing everyone’s new Fossil goodies.Fossil leather bag

Love the slouchy-ness of it. I can never seem to pick a favorite colour when it comes to Fossil leathers. I seem to appreciate the colour of every one I see. I mean look at that buttery yellow handbag. You can just tell how soft it is, by looking at how it falls when it’s on my shoulder. I don’t know the name of this purse because I have never seen it in stores, nor do I know if they even still sell it in the stores in other colours. 

My co-worker also snagged this soft genuine leather iPad case for forty bucks! fancy fossil caseipad case by fossilI haven’t made it out to the outlets yet because anytime I drive past them, the highway exit is just backed up forever from people trying to get in and shop. Seems like there’s a lot gems to be found.

What do you carry in your bag at all times? Mine is my iPad, my new Michael Kors wallet (I bought it at the outlets in the USA) and my cell. Everything else is interchangeable.
