Miyo Sia

My daily doze of love for make-up + everything else under the sun ♥

Since Sigma Makeup introduced individual brush sale, I finally am able to buy new brushes from their new site http://www.sigmabeauty.com. I got their Flat Top Kabuki and Lip brush. Originally, the lip brush is only available for purchase with their Premium Kit. I have been waiting for this to be available so I am happy they finally decided to sell brushes in the kit individually ^_~

I personally have not tried these two brushes yet so I will just give my first impression on these and I will try it for several weeks to officially post a review on them.



Flat Top Kabuki:
This brush is similar to the Fiber Duo brush just that it is more compact and denser. Also it feels really soft on the skin. It reminds me of a powder puff when I stipple it on my cheeks. I think this will be a good brush to blend face products as well as create a natural looking finish. This brush is also good for creating subtle contours, highlights and blush. Since the bristles feel like powder puff, I thought that it would also be great for Sigma to create a brush with bigger top area with same density that will work as a powder puff. I would be happy if someone will make those since brushes are easier to clean than powder puffs :)

Lip Brush:
The nice thing that I like so much about this brush is that it is travel size and extended handle for better control. The stainless steel cap protects the bristles when not in use so you don't have to worry about contamination or damage when you put it in your makeup kit. It can be attached to the tip to extend the brush handle. The only thing I worry about this is if it will stay tight over time since this may have tendency to become loose.

If any of you have already tried any of these brushes, post a comment about what you think about them. :)

I bought an epilator last week and I finally got it today :) I honestly don't know why I bought it LOL (probably because it is purple hehe) but I felt that I want this. I regularly go to salon to get my underarms, upper lips and bikini area waxed. I tried waxing by myself as well but it requires alot of effort and I find it too messy when I am doing it. I thought I would save time and money if I will just buy this.

So I ordered the Emjoi Soft Caress Gold Cordless Rechargeable Epilator from BeautyChoice.com for $69.95 (+$29.21 shipping). I was excited to get this really but to my dismay, Philippine customs charged me Php1,271 tax for this. I am like WTF?! There is tax for a freaking hair remover?

Oh well, even if I have to pay more than what I am expecting for this I am excited to try this out. :) I will post another review after I have tried it 2-3 times. For now, I will share with you things you get with the epilator and its features.

Packaging: The packaging is good specially if this product is intended to be shipped. It is enclosed in a tight PVC plastic (#3) so the item is secured from damage. The only trade off is I had a hard time opening it. I had to cut it with big scissors. :D

Accessories: The package includes the epilator, adapter, protective cap, massaging finger attachment, cleaning brush, loofah, and carrying pouch. It also includes instructional manual. If you also have bought this product, it is important that you read it before using the epilator.

Product features as written in the package:
  • Luxurious hair remover with 36 patented tweezer discs removes hair from root
  • 24 karat gold plated tweezers remove hair quickly and comfortably
  • Antimicrobial protection against damaging bacteria
  • Enjoy smooth skin for up to 6 weeks
  • Patented Pain Reduction Technology greatly reduces discomfort
  • Removes hair as short as 0.5mm
  • Contoured design hugs your curves
  • Soft touch grip fits comfortably in your hand
  • Gentle enough to remove individual hair on the upper lip and chin
  • Excellent for removing hair on the legs, bikini line and underarms
  • Includes Massaging Finger Attachment
  • Cord and cordless
  • Dual speed control
  • Compact and great for travel
  • Hypoallergenic
As much as I want to try this already, I still need to charge it for 16 hours as indicated in the manual. I will try this for a month or so and will post another entry telling about my experience using this. :) If you have used this product before feel free to share what you think! ^_~

*To date, only 4 people have correctly guessed my birthday. I will announce who guessed right when the contest ends :)

I validated each entry and invalid ones are not credited to the total points. Please make sure your read the instructions on how to get more points and follow as written :)

Also I noticed that the count on my page increases and after some time decrease so at the end of the contest :( So I will recheck the names of the people you suggested from day 1 to ensure that they do not like the page just to give out points and unlike once the point has been credited. This is to be fair to everyone who joined the contest.

Thanks for those who already joined ^_~ Good luck everyone! ♥

As some of you may know, I got hair extensions about 2-3 weeks ago ^_~ I have been wanting to get extensions for a long time since I really have a hard time growing my hair. :) I got the 22" light brown real hair clip ons.


I did not style it when I took the photo but I usually use iron to straighten my own hair since it is layered and so it will fall flat to the extensions. If I have time, I curl the extensions and then curl the top layer of my hair.

The nice thing about getting clip-ons is that I can either wear short or long hair whenever I feel like it :) Also I don't have to deal about worrying about fall outs once the glue can no longer hold the hair intact.

My cousin bought the 16" medium brown for her wedding and I helped her learn how to put them on, curl and style it herself.


I plan to buy the 16" to give a layered look with my 22" since I don't want to cut it (such a waste to do that).

The extensions is a 6-pc set available in 16" and 22", colors medium brown, light brown and golden brown. It is made of real hair so you can do whatever you want with it. I shampoo the hair twice a week, apply leave on conditioner every night and curl it everyday :D You can also color the hair or have it permed or just do anything you do with your hair.

If you are interested in buying, you can send your inquiries to miyosia@gmail.com for the price and shipping rates :) I can ship internationally, but if you are living outside Philippines, I suggest that you also check out others who sell extensions in your area since you might be able to save more from shipping. :)
