Sigma Brushes :) :)

i really want to invest on good makeup brushes. i would love to hoard on mac's brushes BUT UNFORTUNATELY they're so damn expensive. :( it will burn my poor wallet LOL.
 maybe i'll splurge on mac brushes when i have a job already hehe. ^_^ 


sooo anyway, good thing there is sigma. they have dupes of mac brushes with just a fraction of its price :) i've read good, bad, and worst reviews about sigma's brushes. some of the reviews i've read have their brushes shed and bleed like there's no tomorrow while there's one that the brush itself totally broke. so at first, i was a bit hesitant if i should get ask my aunt to get one for me. ^_^


well..... i couldn't help it haha. so i asked her to get me the complete set without the brush roll and a ss188 individual brush. i think i should have gotten the brush roll too. haha now i don't know where i'll place them if ever i go travel.

i don't own any mac brush so i can't compare the two brands :)


the complete set includes:
powder brush - SS150
foundation brush - SS190
duo fiber brush - SS187
large angled contour brush - SS168
concealer brush - SS194
medium angled shading brush - SS275
small angled brush - SS266
large shader brush - SS252
pencil brush - SS219
tapered blending brush - SS224
eyeliner brush - SS209
eyeshading brush - SS239

loves: i soooo love the brushes that i got. they're from a good batch! still super soft after washing. the brushes does their job quite well! well just a minor shedding for the SS187 and SS150. just around 2-4 hairs :) i think i've washed them for 4x already. i recommend sigma if you want nice quality brushes for a lesser price :) but ofcourse a real mac brush would be better!! HAHA


nah: i wish all of the brushes came with a brush guard :) aside from the minor shedding, the SS187 did bleed a little.

I really want to purchase some sigma brushes since I've heard some many good reviews about them! I think I want to purchase the travel kit though, because I already have full sized brushes, and I want to try something smaller!
