My new favorite highlighter! OMG!

So after church today, my son and I stopped by TJ Maxx to see if I can find new shoes for him. Anyway, while I was walking around the store, of course, my feet directed me to the beauty area. Go figure. Hahaha! So as I was looking around, I saw a bag full of 'The Balm' beauty products! Then in that bag, I saw the "Mary-Lou-Manizer" highlighter! I was sold right there! But when I saw that it came with a nail polish, a lip gloss and a small kabuki brush for only...... are you ready? $18!!!! Oh my goodness! I grabbed that kit right away and went ahead and bought it! I mean, if you guys are familiar with The Balm products, the Mary-Lou-Manizer itself is already $24, but to get 3 more products for $18? I WAS SOLD!

Here are the products:

This is the kit. Isn't this the cutest thing? The packaging is so cute.




My favorite highlighter at the moment!


It looks dark in this picture but trust me, it's a nice goldish color in person.


Here is the swatch of the highlighter. It's soooo gorgeous!!!


 Small kabuki


 The shade is "cocoa my coconut" and it seriously smells like cocoa! I love this lip gloss because it also has mint in it, so it's refreshing when you put it on.


Nail polish in shade Princess.. It's a light bronze color.

I will do a tutorial soon using the "Mary-Lou-Manizer" highlighter so watch out for it!

Overall, I love most of the products in the kit.  I mean I purchased the kit mainly for the highlighter but it's nice to know that the other products are good quality as well.

Sigma brushes.



I'm sure most of you have heard of the Sigma brushes before and I must say, they are my ultimate favorite brushes ever! I most especially love the sigmax set. It's the synthetic brushes that are super soft and are super easy to work with. Another thing I love about the sigma brushes are they are soooo affordable compared to the high-end brushes like MAC, Sephora brushes, etc. The sigma brushes are of the same quality, if not, even better. I don't think I'll purchase or use any other brushes but Sigma.


You guys should really try it out! Go to their website now and if you buy $30 or more worth of products, you will get a free gift! Trust me, you won't be disappointed with their brushes. My personal favorite are the Sigmax brushes but you might have your own favorite. : )

I'm back!!!

Hey Everyone! It's been awhile since I've written blogs. I used to have a blog website before but after not posting blogs for a long time, I totally forgot the password to it. Bummer I know. In the past two years, life for me has been really busy. There were many changes, few of which are, I got married, had another beautiful baby girl and have been in school for nursing. It's been a busy, not so easy, two years, but I'm here now to do more blogs and hopefully this time I keep up with it. : )


I also revamped my YouTube channel. It used to be a vlog channel but now I'm making it a beauty channel. I guess I've been wanting to do a beauty channel for awhile but just didn't have the courage to do it since I wasn't sure how the people will accept me. However, after thinking about it for awhile, I thought to myself, I shouldn't care about what people will say because I'm only here to help and share what I know. If they don't like it, they are free to click that "x" button on top and move on right? It certainly won't stop me from doing what I want to do. I don't claim to know EVERYTHING though, just a regular gal who loves the beauty of makeup and only sharing what I've learned from different makeup artists and also from my own experimentation. So if you're interested, go check out my YouTube channel, username: sharongregorio. Thank you so much and God bless!



Here is my husband, Allan.


Here is my little girl, Allison.


Here is the family.
