Review :: Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki - F80 & Giveaway(CLOSED)!

So i wanted to rave about one of my most favorite face brushes that i've been using for many, many, many months and have featured on a few of my monthly favorite posts. 

it's no secret - it's the Sigma Flat top synthetic kabuki, best known as the F80 brush. 

the description from the Sigma beauty website:

"This Exclusive flat top synthetic kabuki was designed to deliver a flawless makeup application. The Sigma Makeup F80 is a buffer brush that can be used to blend powder or liquid products. The short and dense bristles make it easy to buff your liquid foundation. The long handle adds comfort to your makeup application. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid products and can be easily cleaned. Made of Synthetic Sigmax HD filament"

Here are some pictures of the Brush:

it's the one in the middle :)

doesn't it just look SO soft?!

this could be yours! :)

I absolutely love this brush. it NEVER has shed on me, ever! and the way it blends does exactly what it's supposed to - deliver a flawless makeup application. makes my liquid foundation blend like a dream onto my skin and looks airbrushed! 

i've used this for liquid foundation and some thicker foundations and all same outcome - an amazing flawless looking face!

I actually have used this in most pictures - here's a recent one of me when i've used it :D don't know if you can tell, but the foundation i used applied with the Sigma F80 was flawless :)

on to the review:

Packaging: 4.5/5
I absolutely love how creative Sigma is, putting their single brushes in this type of  this bag as well as a pamphlet on the items inside. Also love how it comes with it's own brush guard type protector so the bristles will not get ruined! so i gave it a 4.5 out of 5.


Quality: 4/5
I think you get your best bang for your best buck. these are such decent priced brushes that ultimately gives you what it's meant to do - flawless application. no streakiness or blotchiness - straight flawless! that's my thoughts on this.

Usage: 3.5/5
Very easy to use,  a pain in the rear to clean/wash. the bristles are SUPER dense that if you were to hand wash these they'd take more than overnight to dry. even if you have a brush guard on them.. they'd still be damp and the bristles splayed all over the place. otherwise super easy to use the brush when it's clean and ready to be used.

Overall 4/5
I think this is an amazing brush for those that don't have anything quite like it. i have a stippling brush and let me tell you - it's NOT the same... i absolutely love mine so much that i'm going to be giving 1 away to 1 lucky winner! the best part of this brush is that it's not so heavy, not too short, but the handle is just perfect for perfecting the blending on the face lol.

MAC & Sephora Mini haul ;)

So I went to the mall today with Karen because We both had some B2M that we wanted to exchange..


Sephora Haul
I got: NARS Blush in Deep Throat, Clinique Even Better Liquid Foundation, MUFE Mat Velvet Sample, Laura Mercier Oil Free Sample, Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Sample, I wanted shi-seido duo-foundation sample but they only had their skincare line and not make-up..I also got Anti-Bacterial Daily Brush Cleaner spray (the small one lol) and my free gift


MAC Haul
had some B2M stuff and wanted a new eyeshadow lol..

and also wanted to try Dollymix and ended up getting Soft Ochre Paint Pot... ended up getting the eyeshadow Twinks :) I like it! lol..


My Free Gift I got to choose for being a Sephora Beauty Insider Member


It was the last one and it was calling my name! My FIRST Nars Make-up! the blush is called Deep Throat if anyone is wondering ;) It's beautiful! I wanted to get Orgasm, but i figured i'd get deep throat first lol! (cause it was the last one and there were like 5 of orgasm and super orgasm)..

I really wanted to get the MAC 187 brush.. but dang it's $45!! lol.. the MAC 130 brush is the exact same thing but a bit smaller (MA said better for blending, getting in hard to reach places like the corner of the nose and hairline) but it's $38!! shoot lol

I Think what i'm going to do is save up for the 130 brush and then get the sigma SS187 and then also get the Target 187 Dupe as a backup/extra (for in between washings)..

I put together a list of MAC eyeshadows I wanted, but when I was there it was just too hard to just choose 1 or 2 lol.. and just ended up getting the one the MA suggested (she was wearing it on her and i was in love with the color).. so i got it lol..

Also i told her my dilemma of Viva Glam Gaga looking totally nasty looking on me lol, and she paired it with Ample Pink Plushglass and it looked pretty nice actually lol.. unfortunately they sold out LOL.. so i'll have to go back! (or hopefully someone on MUA wants to swap with me haha)..

anyway - I have a LOT of packing items to do.. and go to the post office tomorrow.. :)

good night everyone!

Sleepy & Rainy Saturday..

So today we missed the gym because *ahem* someone overslept/alarm didn't go off.. lol.. anyway -we'll be going at it tomorrow hard since we've missed today..

and it was freakin pourin rain outside.. on the way to Tianna's ballet/tap class.. and right after i had to put the girls to nap and then get all the food for her Jasmyn's Mini Birthday party..

I was bummed out that MY parents.. didn't bother to call and say happy birthday to her on wednesday.. or on thursday when i had my mother baby sit them for a few hours while i was at work and my mother in law had a procedure she had to get done..

i reminded her that Jasmyn's birthday party was going to be small and there was going to be food.. but she said she was going to come.. but of course another disappointment.. i'm a little hurt.. and pissed at the same time.. but im not going to go into detail.. i've just taken an ambien cause i've got too much on my mind and don't want to be sleepy blogging non-sense LOL.. but yea that disapppointed me when i called my dad and he answered *cough* oh im not coming i'm still sick.. then right away - SO how are the girls? .. meh.. goodbye..  well whatever i'll leave that for another day...

but i don't have much to write here.. only that i've decided to finally take better care of my brushes and i've purchased a few brush guards

NOT my images

taken from the brush guard website

I figure, I spend and invest in so much money on my brushes that i use for my face/eyes etc, why not invest in their lifespan! lol.. so i think this is the next major step aside from washing them.. because these guards keep them dry free/dust free and great way to let them dry without harming your brush and keeping the form of the brush! in turn will make the brushes last longer!

so i barely just ordered i think the variety pack, the shadow/liner pack, the foundation pack and the kabuki pack..

i know it looks like i bought too much, but i'm actually still adding to my brush collection!

i'll let you all know how i like it when i do receive it and start using them! :)

the Ambien is kicking in now.. have a great night!

FOTN: Yellows/Purples (inspired look) & MAC Mini Haul

Okay so.. i was real bored today.. especially when it was just Jasmyn and I at home, while everyone went to pick up my FIL from the airport..

Jasmyn only wanted to watch her Ni Hao Kailan show, and I saw miss Tina Marie Online had posted a new tutorial and I thought to myself.. I don't have enough time to edit my video right now before the gym.. and this was the only chance I had at doing any type of makeup lol.. so i said shooot why not, I need to practice on my blending lol (cause i suck sometimes!)

but anyway this look was inspired by Tina Marie Online, and I know my look is no where near hers as she is a rare talent indeed.. but i loved the colors and her little tutorial - so enjoy!

(please excuse the crooked eyeliner - i'm not used to using liquid eyeliner just yet - since i'm always usually using pencil eyeliner! LOL).. but here ya go! let me know what you think and if you have any CC - i'd love to know what you'd think (be nice lol!)












Gosh - I don't even remember when I went.. but I think on the weekend I went to the mall to check out Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick.. and decided to pick up some brushes while I was at it..

Sorry the lighting sucks ;)


Brushes ;)


and the lipstick.. i'm not even really sure how i like it yet - it's real pink.. i think with a neutral eye it'll look alright.. then again i'm not really used to wearing lipstick, so i probably just don't know how to wear it (any tips?! lol)..
