Morphe Brushes That Look Like Cotton Candy

I was browsing through my Facebook feed when I saw another beauty blogger talking about Morphe Brushes makeup. When I looked them up I found these adorable brushes that are right up my alley! They look like cotton candy and are priced really reasonably ($19.99 for a 10 piece set and they're Vegan if you're interested.) I've never heard of this company before, but I'm wondering how the quality is. I might just have to pick them up.

I also took a peek at some of their makeup and the prices are ridiculously low. I really want to try some of their shadows and I love that you can buy them individually and get the magnetic case for them so you can build a custom palette.

Sigma Crème de Couture

I'm so excited that this finally arrived! I've wanted to try Sigma Beauty products for a while and never got around to it. I had to have this palette though since it was just too amazing to pass up. Macarons and Makeup? Yes please! I've been sick all day and literally ran down to the mailbox because the tracker said it arrived.
Much like macarons themselves, this beauty may be small, but it's worth it. The packaging is just darling, that's the best way to describe it. It looks like a little box of Laduree macarons waiting for you to try them all.
Let's get down to the colors! Super saturated and gorgeous matte shades, these are very different than anything else I have. Check out the pictures below and order yours today!

Sigma also has a contest going on right now. Show off your Crème de Couture eye look on Instagram and use #ShowUsYourCouture to win a $250 Sigma Beauty gift card!

Le Métier de Beauté Beauty Vault August 2013

So excited! My first Le Métier de Beauté Beauty Vault box just arrived! I am more than impressed with it and I love that it comes with a hand written card. This is a prestige brand and I love these small touches. The subscription was $348 upfront and will only be available again in July of next year.
I was really hoping for the classic red lipstick I had seen around and lo and behold I got it! It's the matte lipstick in Signature. I love a red lip so I'm thrilled.  I also received the Kaleidoscope palette for lips in Bahaus, though I'm a little upset because it came in damaged, though I've contacted customer service to see if there's anything that can be done. There was also a Precision Liquid Liner in Noir. I love that it's a pen since it makes applying so much easier. There was also an included kabuki brush as a thank you gift.
Overall I was blown away with the amount I received and think it's an amazing value. The lip palette was wrapped in bubble wrap, but it wasn't enough, so I'm hoping they'll learn from feedback and improve that. **Update: I've heard back from customer service (very promptly I might add) and they're sending me a replacement. (Around the web I noticed other bloggers had similar problems with their palettes including the eye and cheek sets.)
Lipstick: $32
Lip palette: $95
Eye liner: $42
Kabuki brush: $85
Total: $254 which to me is amazing since it was $348 for the year (equivalent to $29 per month, which means I already got 10x the return.) The only thing I'd like to see in the following months is a product card since I had to do quite a bit of research on some products.
