Haul and Review: Sigma/Sigmax Brushes

I know in August a wrote about the brush that changed my foundation routine... well I am back with a haul and review of MORE Sigma brushes! I couldn't resist ordering more of these brushes and honestly this will not be the last Sigma order I place!

So as an early birthday gift to my self I ordered the Make Me Crazy 12 piece purple brush set, the Bare palette, the E20 short shader brush and the E45 small tapered blending brush. I had a 10% discount code I used to save on my order and even with that I definitely got a lot for my money! And so that you know, all thoughts and opinions on these brushes and products are my on... I paid for all products mentioned with my own money.

First thing I will touch on is the Bare palette. This palette is pretty awesome and I can't wait to order the Dare and Flare palette's. The eye shadow palette's contain 8 shadows and a dual ended brush, each palette's brush is different and colored to match the palette. The Bare palette has 4 matte shades and 4 shimmer shades. The dual brush has the E30 pencil brush and the E25 blending brush.


I used this palette and the shades blend well and lasted all day. The packaging resembles the Urban Decay Naked palette in appearance, is durable and contains a mirror. And this palette is priced at the amazing price of $35, completely affordable!



Dual Ended Brush - E30 and E25
The E45 and E20 are part of the Premium Professional kit, however I really didn't want all of those brushes. The E45 is the small tapered blending brush and is ideal for precisely applying shadow to the crease. The E20 is the short shader brush and is perfect for applying shadow to the lid or smudging along the lash lines. Each eye brush is $9, where as the face brushes range from $14-$19 each.

E45 - Small Tapered Blending Brush

E20 - Short Shader Brush
The Make Me Crazy 12 piece purple kit contains every brush you could ever need! This set contains 5 face brushes, 7 eye brushes and a 2 piece container that you can use to store your brushes or travel with them. I have several MAC comparable brushes that cost a lot more than what Sigma sells theres for, at equal if not better quality. The 5 face brushes are the F60 foundation, F70 concealer, the F50 duo fiber, the F40 angled contour and F30 large powder. The 7 eye brushes are the E05 eyeliner, E30 pencil, E40 tapered blending, E55 eye shading, E60 large shader, E65 small angle, and the E70 medium angled shading.

Eye Brushes - From Bottom to Top: E30, E40, E05, E55, E60,  E70 and E65

Face Brushes - From Bottom to Top: F70, F40, F60, F30, and F50

(Container for the brush set)
This set is $99 and is part of the Make Me Up collection. The collection features the same 12 piece set in 4 different colors, all named appropriately by their color. The "Make Me Classy" in black, the "Make Me Blush" in coral, the "Make Me Cool" in aqua, and the "Make Me Crazy" in purple. These sets are perfect for anyone starting out in makeup or looking to expand their brush collection like myself.

Sigma was introduced to me by YouTube makeup guru Tiffany from MakeupByTiffanyD. She is a firm believer in Sigma and faithfully uses these brushes. I have been obsessing over these brushes and when looking at the cost of the brushes, whether individually or in a set, it was still cheaper than MAC. The same  brushes I bought from Sigma for $99 would have cost me more than $300, plus I got a container to store my brushes in!

So if you don't know who Sigma is, check them out! If you own Sigma brushes or products, what are your favorites?

Until next time xo Shannon!

Life Changing Foundation Brush!

A few weeks ago I placed an order with Sigma for the first time. Let me tell, I was so impressed by my products and Sigma... they put my MAC brushes to shame! And the price!

Packaged so nicely! Set is in blue, individual brushed and free gift are in red.
I order their Sigmax brushes, as I have been dying to try these out! They are syntheic brushes that are specially designed to apply powder and liquid products without absorption into the fibers, giving the HD appearance. The brushes can be ordered inividually for $16 each or $42 for a set of three. The set includes a flat top kabuki (F80), the round top kabuki (F82) and the angled kabuki (F84).

L-R: F82 Round Top Kabuki and F84 Angled Kabuki
The F80 Flat Top Kabuki has changed everything about my foundation application! It buffs out the product so flawlessly that it looks natural. The Sigmax brushes are so dense they require less product, making a little go a long way! If I could only purchase one of these brushes, the F80 would be it!

F80 - Flat Top Kabuki
I also ordered the Large Powder brush (F20), the Tappered Blending brush (E35) and the Blending brush (E25). The face brushes vary in price, ranging from $9 to $25. The eye brushes are all $9 each. Sigma also offers a variety of sets for affordable prices. You can order a complete set of 12 brushes, eyes and face, for $79! Or they have sets for eyes, face, eyes & face, travel and premium brushes.
F20 - Large Powder Brush
E35 - Tapered Blending Brush 
E25 - Blending Brush
I will never buy another MAC brush again! I received six brushes for the cost of probably three MAC brushes... maybe.

Shipping was great! They ship worldwide, which is awesome! I live in the US and received my products within a week, with standard mail rates. They even sent me a free gift for my purchase of at least $75! A little mini eye shadow palette, featuring a shade from there new Dare, Bare and Flare palettes... Which I will be picking up soon!



The free gift, so cute!!!
Overall I couldn't be happier and cannot wait to try more of their proucts! I will keep you updated on everything I try with a review, but only after I have really tried them out. I think it is only fair to use a product for a period of time to truly give a thorough review.
