Monday Must-Haves #1

I have been fighting a nasty cold since Saturday morning so despite my high hopes of filming some new videos, I can't seem to sit in front of the camera without sneezing, hacking, or blowing my nose. I have been itching to get something on the blog lately, so I figured I'd give this new series a try. Every Monday I am going to attempt to share, describe and/or review a product or two that I feel is a must-have -- whether it be a makeup, hair, skin care, or any other random product I own and truly love. Once I'm feeling better I definitely plan on filming videos for this series! Let me know your thoughts! :)

This Week's Must-Haves:

Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush

If you have seen any of my makeup tutorials since Christmas, you know I am obsessed with this makeup brush. To be honest my foundation application has been forever changed since this heavenly little tool came into my life. My foundation goes on smoother, looks flawless, and I feel like I use less product with it. I will most likely purchase multiple F80s in the near future so I can have some on hand when I wash the one I currently own. The $21 price tag is worth every pretty penny -- I can just about guarantee you won't be disappointed; I have yet to meet a foundation brush that compares to Sigma's F80 and have no desire to search for another brush to do the job. I am so obsessed and so in love with this brush it's almost comical. I just cannot say enough good things about it. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone and everyone and consider it one of my top must-haves in my entire makeup collection. I could go on and on about this brush but I will spare you what would become a mushy love letter/ode to the Sigma F80 (and just so you know, this post is entirely my opinion and not sponsored by Sigma or any other company. I received the brush as part of a gift from my parents or else I would have purchased it with my own money).

Teasing Brush

Hellooooooo if you want voluminous, Texas-esque hair on a daily basis (or even just every so often), you MUST get yourself one of these little guys. Teasing brushes have SAVED my thin, fine, lifeless hair. Unlike some of you lucky ladies out there, I was not blessed with a thick, beautiful, voluminous head of hair, so I have to fake it on a somewhat daily basis. Cue the teasing brush. I think I started purchasing teasing brushes about two years ago and I don't know why I never did before then. They bring LIFE and volume and just overall sexiness to my hair that I never thought possible before. Currently, I'm using a brush from Goody, but I've also purchased some from Sally's prior to the one I own now. I realize teasing is not the best for your hair in general, but my hair would be lost, limp, and lifeless without my teasing brush! I bring it with me almost every where I go, and regardless of the hairstyle I wear, I always find a way to give my hair a little bit of a tease.

Do you use either of these products? What are some of your must-haves?
