Mini Sigma Beauty Review!

Hello everyone! So yesterday I got my Sigma bushes in the mail! Super excited!

I only bought 4 brushes :( mainly because I wanted to try a few out before I went out and bought a whole set.



So I will review the brushes I purchased and let you know the good and the bad!

F40 (Large Angled Contour) - I really like this brush a lot. It works really well for contouring and for applying blush. I also really like that bristles are white because I can see how much product I am picking up. So far I have nothing bad to say about it, haven't noticed any serious shedding.

E55 (Eye Shading) - This short little stubby brush is nice for applying shadow all over the lid. It's pretty dense so it packs the shadow on nicely. 


E30 (Pencil) - This is a nice brush for highlighting the inner corner of my eye, and applying shadow to the outer V. Also works well for bringing eye shadow down to my lower lash line.

And lastly...

E40 (Tapered Blending) - I believe this is my favorite so far, it's very soft and fluffy and is excellent for blending in the crease.

OOPS! Almost forgot, they also included a little freebie! The Travel Size E25 (Blending).
This cute little brush is great for blending out harsh lines, and the best part was that it was free!

Overall I am really impressed with Sigma Beauty. The shipping was fast, and they packaging was great. I loved the little red sinched bag they came in. I am definitely interested in placing another order soon. I really want to try the F30 (Large Powder) and the F25 (Tapered Face). Actually I'd love to get the whole set!

Haul?! Yes please.

So over the past month or so, I've bought quite a lot of things!


Benefit Erase Paste in 02 - I love this because it covers my undereye circles so well, and it's an eye brightener so it almost works like a highlighter for under my eyes. Only con is that it has a tacky feeling if I don't use a setting powder over it.

Benefit Get Even in 02 - Bought this mainly to use over my concealer (since it is the same color) to get rid of that tacky sticky feeling under my eyes. But now I use it for a lot more. It's great for summer because it's a blotting powder, but it also takes away any redness I get. Pretty pricey but I like it.

MAC Surf Baby Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Lush Light Bronze - My new favorite bronzer! It goes on so smooth and even, and it's matte! Plus, the packaging is super cute.

MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush - My new favorite, works really great to stipple on face makeup and gives that "airbrushed" look. Also works great to apply my cream blush or bronzer.

MAC Chatterbox lipstick - Love this! Bought it really liking the color, but realized it looks a lot nicer with a tan. Definetely a summer color.

MAC Creme Cup lipstick - My new HG lipstick :) super cute.

MAC Posh It Up plushglass - New HG lipgloss to go over Creme Cup.

Revlon Colorstay liquid eye pen - It's "ok".

OPI Yodle Me On My Cell - Super pretty blue nail polish.

I bought four Sigma brushes, they will arrive today in the mail so I will review those sometime this week :) I bought the E55, F40, E30 and the E40.

I got a new Blackberry :) I got the white Blackberry Bold 9780 love it! And a case... that should come in the mail this week.

And my wish list... China Glaze - Watermelon Rind and OPI - Teenage Dream
