Sigma Brush Set Review

Sigma Brush Set

Makeup is expensive enough, but makeup applicators and brushes can be downright ridiculous in price. If it’s not within your budget to have a full set of high-priced brushes just to put on powder and a bit of eyeshadow, you might want to have a look at Sigma, who make professional standard brushes at very reasonable prices compared to other high-end brands. I think there’s something to be said for each of the sets that Sigma offers, but the one that really caught my eye is this complete kit of professional brushes. With a price of $69 at Mulberrypink.com for 12 brushes… it’s really hard to find a deal like that if the quality of your makeup brushes is important to you.

The Sigma brush set includes five brushes for the face and seven brushes for eye makeup.

In the kit you’ll find:

  • A large powder brush made of natural bristles
  • A foundation brush for liquid of cream foundation made of synthetic bristles.
  • A large duo fiber brush designed to create an airbrushed finish when used with liquid foundation made of natural bristles
  • A large angled brush to apply blush or contours is made of natural bristles
  • A concealer brush with a rounded, tampered flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area is made of synthetic bristles
  • A small angled brush for applying highlight shades under eyebrow is made of natural bristles
  • An angled eyeliner brush for applying gel eyeliner or cream eyeliner is made of synthetic bristles
  • A large shader brush with a flat shape for applying cream formulas and eyeshadow primers is made of natural bristles
  • A pencil synthetic brush suitable for precise and firm strokes
  • A blending brush for applying and blending color on the crease
  • A liner brush with an extra-fine tip synthetic brush for a firm even stroke
  • A medium shader brush for applying loose shadow and pigments made of natural bristles

The Sigma brush set would make a great gift this holiday season as well! I RECOMMEND the Sigma Beauty 12 pc Professional Kit with Brush Roll or the Sigma Beauty Professional PREMIUM 15 Brush Kit (using my affiliate link).

shobhaI love products that are eco-friendly which is why I was so excited to try Shobha Exfoliating Cloth. It’s an all natural cloth that exfoliates the body and sheds away dead skin. It also helps prevent ingrown hairs and is a pre-hair removal tool. It works just like a loofah but it’s a bit more flexible and bacteria doesn’t get trapped inside.

There are several benefits with this cloth. Not only is it made of all natural fibers, it’s machine washable, it’s reusable (can last up to a year), and it can be use used alone or with a body wash all over the body including the bikini area. Don’t forget that it’s one of those eco-friendly products that’s biodegradable!

If you have sensitive skin, no worries because it’s gentle on even the most troublesome skin. I love Shobha Exfoliating Cloth and it’s a definite must have for summer.  It’s time to start prepping your skin for summer ladies!!!

A recommended beauty item to give your complexion a flawless airbrush finish. Even Ms. Beyonce herself swears by this application. How else does she manage to stay so gorgeous. The patent-pending Beauty Blender cosmetic sponge was created by two of hollywood’s top makeup artist. This fushia sponge is latex-free, non-irritating, odorless, and non-irritating. It also can be used all over the face and is long-lasting and easily washable.

I’m also a fan of this product because it give my face that natural look I love. It blends great and it doesn’t wear or tear. I use it for my concealer, foundation and sometimes the powder too! It’s definitely one essential beauty item to have in your makeup bag.

Top 12 Flat Irons (Total Beauty)

TotalBeauty.com
Top 12 Flat Irons (Plus One Awful Hair Straightener)

See the straighteners that topped the list, and the one 50 readers threw in the trash

We think you should embrace your curls, but sometimes a girl’s got to go sleek. We don’t blame you but we do insist you use a good flat iron. A quality (but not necessarily expensive) straightener works quickly, damages hair less and gives strands a smooth, shiny finish. Bad flat irons? Well, they leave you a frizzy, damaged mess. Check out the irons TotalBeauty.com readers love (er, and one they hated).
