Hurray for my "new" brush set!!
Sorryyy for being lazy and not updating anymore >_< I started a new hobby, which takes up a lot of my time (I´ll maybe share it laterz). I have a loooot to blog about, just haven´t found the time :P Soon!
I actually have been writing this review for like two months :DD It´s been sitting on my blogger like forever :DDD This is about the Sigma Beauty's Bunny Collection (the Mrs. version). It includes 5 face brushes and 7 eye brushes. I had this set now for... over two months? I wanted to really get to know these brushes before actually bublishing a review about them :)
The packaging was super cute! I like the simple design.
Here are all of the bushes! The special color makes the brushes easy to find from a stack of brushes.
Haha! Do notice that the handle is same on the two biggest brushes - they both say "large powder" :D
First time I first saw someone do a review on Sigma brushes, it was wery detailed and boring, to be honest. There was a picture of every brush and a lot of text on every one of them. But now that I have these brushes for myself, I think I´ll do the same x) Maybe someone would like to purchase only some of these?
It´s really important to me that
the brushes are vegan, aka all of the brushes are synthetic. The Sigma Beauty Bunny Collection utilizes Sigmax HD fibers, so the make up product should not absorb into the bristles. Sigmax HD fibres were also used in the Sigmax collection and I´ve heard that they just might be the best ones on the market. I also heard that the Sigmax does not shed like the other Sigma brushes might. I´ve heard that that is their bigger problem.
The Brushes
|
Eye Liner - E05 |
I usually use small angled brush for eyelining, so this one I haven´t found useful yet... But this has a quite small bristles, so the outcome will be very precise. Good brush, I just haven´t found a way for me to use it yet.
|
Pencil - E30 |
This one is good for making precise eyeshadow application, in for example if you´re doing cut crease. I was most exited about this brush and it totally fulfills it´s promise. I highly recommend this to all of you who are struggling with precise eyeshadow outcome! This is also good brush for applying color on lower lashline and inner corner.
|
Tapered Blending - E40 |
This is also my favorite from this set, makes all blending easier. I don´t remember doing any look anymore, where I hadn´t used this brush :D For example, if I want to make outer corner of the eye a bit darker, i might take some black eyeshadow on the brush and just tap it on. Easy and simple!
|
Eye Shading - E55 |
This one has quite short bristles as well and so it´s quite dense. I like to use this to apply brow highlight color. You can really PRESS color on with this.
|
Large Shader - E60 |
This brush is a bit too big for me. But I guess it works well for example eye shadow primers. I´m just used to applying primers with my fingers. Sigma says that it would also work for cream formulas, but I don´t own any so I cannot say :P I did use this once tho, when I put a LOT of one color on the lid. Works as well as any other brush from this set.
|
Small Angle - E65 |
Hmm... Good for brows and gel eyelining. Altho this is actually tyhe brush I was most dissapointed. I think it´s way thiker than what is should be : (. Works better on applying eyeshadow on lower lashline.
|
Medium Angled Shading - E70 |
Quite like the E40 blending bush, exept for the angle. Works well for highlighting.
|
Large Powder - F30 |
Ahh, this one is so smooth!!! The biggest brush I´ve seen. A nuisance to clean but really the best brush for powder products. Inglot´s powder brush is three times smaller!
|
Large Angled Contour - F40 |
Obv this is for blush and contouring. Really soft. Nothing else to add.
|
Duo Fibre - F50 |
This one I´ve mostly used for blushes, but they say it´s also good for contouring. I´m yet to learn how to make airbrushed like finish with foundation, I think I don´t blend well enough :D And as you can see, it has the wrong handle :P
|
Foundation - F60 |
A brush for everyday use. I always always apply my foundation with this.
|
Concealer - F70 |
Small brush for concealing. I mostly use this for eyeshadow application :DD
This was my most expencive package yet, but I have been thinking of getting these since last June.. Now that this vegan collection came out, it was instantly my thing. The set cost 109 $ itself and the shipping costs were 38 $ (if I remember correctly). The shipping cost is a bit nasty. There were two options; the first one cost like 19 $ but the expeted shipping time was 2-6 weeks.
6 weeks! And the second option was 38 $ and shipping 1-2 weeks. I did not want to wait for the package for 6 weeks, so I did not have a chance...
The package was the same size as the first pack I got from Lit Cosmetics. _
The same_ size. Same white box. And I think Lit Cosmetics took like 10 $ for shipping. The difference was that there was actually working traking number and the mailman brought it straight to my home. The shipping time was about the same...
But the price for one brush is like 9$ so in a way they are really cheap. Some Inglot brushes for example can cost like 30 €!!
|
The brushes even look really bunny like :D |
I´ve been using these brushes nearly daily now, and I can assure; NO shedding! And superb quality.
You can find the Bunny collections
here.
Anyone else have an opinions about them Sigma Beauty brushes?
