HUGE HAUL: Sigma Beauty

A while back one of my godmothers (yes I have more than one) asked for my wish list for makeup brushes. I gave her a few top picks from Sigma beauty but told her I was boycotting my birthday this year and not to bother sending me anything. I was in no mood to celebrate.

On Friday there was an orange slip notifying me of a package from Sigma. I knew instantly it was ordered/sent by her. She’d allowed enough time to pass from my birthday to now I guess. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the box this morning and saw that she’d purchased EVERYTHING on my wish list. I am so spoiled, it’s not even funny! It seriously felt like Christmas.

Here are the official product details on the Palette/Kits as well as photos I quickly took last night:

 

The Dare Eye Shadow Palette

The Dare Eye Shadow Palette includes eight eye shadow shades represented by warm, vibrant and neutral tones. The hues range from light corals to rich reds, complemented by yellow-gold tones.
