Sigma Extended Wear Eye Liner Pencil July Release

Keep an eye out for a new Sigma makeup release next week. More information will be revealed on Monday, July 8th. Many readers are speculating that the new launch will feature the long awaited Sigma eyeliner pencils (previewed in last September's sneak peak look).

Update! Click here to see the Sigma eyeliner swatches.

Sigma Eye Liner Pencil 2013
The Sigma Eye Liner Pencil preview from the Sigma team last year.

From the look of the preview photo, these eye liner pencils will come in many different shades. So far, we see Flirt, Declare and some of the other eyeshadow colors in the preview. Of course the actual released products could vary drastically from these previewed shots shown by Sigma last year. We won't know for sure until next week's launch. Check back early next Monday for the real updates.

We've seen Sigma eyeliner pencils at work from the Resort Palette (review here). From what I've experienced with the duo ended Resort Palette eye liner pencil, Sigma eyeliner pencils were creamy, long lasting and a great pleasure to work with. Let's hope they keep it up for the upcoming release.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Urban Decay, recently bought by L'oreal, has just released their Naked Basics eyeshadow palette. The Naked Basics by Urban Decay is their first completely matte palette, featuring six Naked neutrals shades, including four never-before-seen shades.

The Naked Basics Palette (retails $27.00) is light, compact and comes with a large mirror. Add a quality brush to this palette and it could be the perfect travel companion.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

This palette includes six eyeshadow colors:
Venus – soft, off-white demi-matte
Foxy – very light yellow/beige matte  
Walk of Shame – very light pinky nude matte
Naked2 – rosy taupe matte
Faint – warm, dusty brown matte
Crave – deepest, darkest brown/black matte
Naked Basics Palette is available from Sephora, ULTA, select Macy’s stores or online at Sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com, beauty.com and urbandecay.com.


My biggest complaint with Urban Decay's Naked 1 and Naked 2 palettes was that they were way too shimmery. This palette is the polar opposite in terms of glitters, but I can't help but wish a more glowing highlighting shade was included.

Sigma Defining Eyes Palette Release (November 26, 2012)

The Sigma Defining Eyes Palette by Tiffany D ($55.00) was released on the Sigma website today. Unfortunately, it was released after the Black Friday sale so international readers lucked out on the free shipping deal. Fortunately, Tiffany released coupon code that takes $6.00 off the palette: TIFFANY. I can't say yay or neigh to this palette yet as I just bought myself the Sigma Defining Eyes Palette. I will try to do swatches and reviews soon! (You can check out Tiffany's blog for some lovely photos and swatches.)

Defining Eyes Palette by Tiffany D for Sigma Beauty features 8 eyeshadows, 2 gel liners, a dual ended brush and a dual ended eye liner.

Anyway, I would like to congratulate Tiffany for the great design on this palette! I'm always happy to support a fellow blogger or video blogger when they find success. I very much look forward to trying this palette. It's also great that Sigma is being so supportive.

Giveaway winners, I know there has been a lot of you lately so be sure to send or tweet me a photo of what you won if you have the time. I would really appreciate it and I think so would other readers. If you haven't won yet, don't fret because there are giveaways still happening and many more winners will be selected.

Sneak Peek: Sigma Beauty Eye Liner Pencils (and Makeup Giveaways)

This 2012 year has been quite successful for Sigma Beauty. They came out with new brushes, makeup (Paris Palette) and skincare products. They are now on their way to opening a new physical store in MN. The 2013 year will be an even more interesting time. For starters, take a sneak peek at my these glorious Sigma Eye Liner Pencils (public released data TBA).

Update. Click here to see the Sigma eyeliner swatches!

Sigma Makeup Eye Liner Pencil

These eye liner pencils will come in many different colors. I hope to see more vibrant colors added soon. These eye liner pencils will be tested for longevity and quality. You can expect great things from Sigma's new line of makeup. I'll update you with reviews and pictures when it gets closer to the release date.

Sigma started out selling only Sigma Brushes but has since expanded to include makeup, skincare, and other beauty products. I can foresee a future in which it truly competes with the MAC and other makeup brands.

What do you think? Are you excited to try the new Sigma makeup products?

Sigma Beauty Sigmax P88 and F88 (July 11, 2012) Photos & Preview

Sigmax P88 and F88 Brushes
Early preview photo of the Sigmax P88 and F88 to be released July 2012

Sigma is expanding their Sigmax Collection this July 11, 2012. They will be releasing the Sigmax F88 (Flat Angled Kabuki) and the Sigmax P88 (Precision Flat Angled Kabuki). These brushes are angled like the F84 and P84, but flat like the F80 and P80. The best of both worlds? Maybe. Read the Sigmax P88 and F88 reviews here after release date. (Click here to read my previous review of the complete Sigmax Collection, the synthetic essentials kit.)

Lime Crime Makeup Aquataenia Palette (July 5, 2012) - Preview and Swatches

Lime Crime Makeup is famous for the vibrant colors of their eyeshadows and lipsticks. The new Aquataenia Mermaid Palette does not besmirch the Lime Crime Cosmetics name. The Aquataenia Palette is so pearlescent that it makes your eyelids sparkle like the sea. The five oceanic shades are loaded with shimmer & glitter particles to create that wet, glistening effect reminiscent of a mermaid's tail under the moonlight. It can be used on eyes or on the cheeks.

This new Lime Crime makeup palette will be released on July 5, 2012. Lime Crime Makeup coupon codes are available here if you are interested. More updates will come on official release day.

Nautilus Prime – blurple, Coral of the Story – true coral, Seahorse Discourse – tropical green, Pearl-ple – pearlescent lilac, Atlanteal – seafoam blue/green

Sigma Brow and Lashes & Angled Brow Review

Sigma has recently released two new brushes, the Sigma E75 and Sigma E80. I've shared the preview info on Twitter before, but now it's time to release the full review. I think many of us have been anticipating the release of these brushes for quite some time now. Sigma has always offered a plethora of affordable quality brushes. They have been loved for making their versatile professional brushes available to the public. Anything professional makeup artists had the advantage of using, Sigma made accessible and affordable to every day people. It hasn't been until recently, however, that they've developed the most needed brow brushes. And it's about time. Eyebrows are one of the most important features of the face, yet often the most neglected.

Sigma Performance Eyes Kit (March 5, 2012)

On March 5th, Sigma Beauty will be launching the new Performance Eyes Kit. The Performance Eyes Kit consists of eight new makeup brushes and was designed for precise application of liquid, cream and powder products onto defined areas of the eyes. These brushes, perfect for detailed and defined makeup application, are essential for creating elaborate professional makeup looks.

Sigma's New Premium Professional Kit

Sigma's Premium brush sets now comes with a new professional carrying case. It's similar to the case used for the Sigma Extravaganza Complete and Face Kit. (See my past reviews of the Extravaganza Kits and Collections.) I'm glad to see that Sigma has started to produce more of these cases because they're really wonderful! I feel a little like a makeup artist elitist toting around these luxurious brush cases. I hope that Sigma will sell these cases separately (and for an affordable price) eventually.

Sigma Eyeshadow Palettes - NEW Slim Packaging!

See the Sigma Makeup Coupons » page for the full list of Sigma Coupons.

Finally, Sigma has reduced the weight and size of their eyeshadow palettes. If you remember my Sigma eyeshadow review from earlier last year, you'll know that the palette lost some heavy points for their bulky packaging. I'm just glad that Sigma took everyone's advice and reduced the size. It could save us the trouble and some shipping fees too.

Sadly, I already bought a few of the "bulky" packaging so I'm stuck with them for now. These new slim designs do have me salivating a little though. Finally, something I can carry in my handbag for convenient travel.

Iris Apfel for MAC, MAC Naturally (January 5, 2012 - February 9, 2012)

Another year, another opportunity for MAC to release their always-coming limited edition collections. I've begun to grow tired of their (sometimes rather rushed) releases, especially since they always pick my favorite items to "limit" while adding the less-than-loved items to the permanent collection. I won't be covering all MAC releases - partially because there are so many, but mostly because Christine from Temptalia makes a point to post these details ASAP anyway. (It's better you hear from her promptly than my lazy self.)

Despite the complaints, these collections look pretty appetizing. Not sure I'll have any money left after the holidays to splurge on the goodies, but I'll probably pick up a lipstick or two (or four). Their MAC Naturally collection speaks right to me.

MAC Mineralize Skincare (January 5, 2012)

Making its debut in 2012, the MAC Mineralize Skincare line is made with ionized Super-Duo Charged Water technology. The collection includes Mineralize Charged Water Cleanser, which gently removes makeup without scrubbing or massaging to leave skin clear and conditioned. The Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel is a rich and creamy, superlight and hydrating gel. Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Eye Cream boosts the eyes to minimize dark circles and puffiness. Also included in this permanent collection are the Mineralize Charged Water Face and Body Lotion and Mineralize Charged Water.

Available in North America starting January 5, 2012 and Internationally February 2012 at all M·A·C locations, 1.800.588.0070 and maccosmetics.com.

I think MAC has gone a little overboard emphasizing their water-based technology - whatever that may be. Whatever it is, they sure make it sound revolutionary for what is probably just a different filtration method with added minerals.

Sigma Extravaganza Face Kit ($210) launches today
The Sigma Beauty Extravaganza Face Kit is an assortment of hand-crafted brushes with 18 karat gold-plated ferrules. The face kit features four 18K gold-plated brushes and a deluxe carrying case.

Due to a shipment delay, my photographs and full review of the Extravaganza Face Kit won't be up for another few days, after I've tested them thoroughly. On the bright side, the Extravaganza Complete Kit is being released on the 19th, so potential buyers might want to wait a bit to read up on that before deciding whether to snag the complete sets or not (one shipment = cheaper shipping).

Sneak Peak: Sigma E80 Brow and Lash Brush

It has been a busy week, but I just wanted to share with you a sneak peak of the Sigma E80 Brow and Lash. Well, as much of a sneak peak as Sigma is allowing the public as of now. Release dates and further information/photos to come!

Hang in there, everyone. The holidays are just around the corner! ;)
