Sigma Beauty F82 Brush Review

"The F82 Round Top Kabuki brush simplifies precise makeup application under the eyes and around the nose. This brush is also perfect for achieving flawless coverage using liquid and powder products. Made of Synthetic Sigmax HD filament."

Quality?  Made very well. Sturdy

Smell?  It didn't really have a smell

Shedding?  I haven't had any shedding

Softness?  Very soft

Recommend?  Yes

Verdict:

I bought Sigma Beauty's F82 Brush on Black Friday. I needed a new makeup brush because my Bare Minerals brushes shed way too much. I bought the Bare Minerals kit with the brushes, because a lady that worked there said that their brushes were the only ones that will pick up every trace of foundation when you do the swirl and tap. I use this brush with my bare mineral foundation and it picks up every trace of foundation just like the Bare Minerals brush.

I love Sigma Beauty's F82 brush because I can blend my foundation into my skin instead of having it sit on top of my skin. This brush is very soft and I haven't had any problems with it shedding. No more bristles on my face!! I chose the F82 brush over the F80 brush, because I liked that it can apply foundation underneath the eyes as well as on the sides of your nose. I'm happy with my purchase and I would like to buy the Synthetic Essential Kit one day. If you're looking to buy new makeup brushes try out Sigma Beauty!

Bare Escentuals Review

Hello everyone! I back with a review on the Bare Minerals Starter Kit that I purchased in July :p I've been working on custom jewelry orders, but I will try to update my blog as often as I can.

Our bareMinerals 8-piece Customizable Get Started Kit has everything you need for a flawless complexion. Just add your choice of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation — choose from 20 shades in either the natural luminous Original or natural Matte finish. Clinically proven to improve the appearance of your skin, award-winning bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation looks like a powder, feels like a cream and buffs on beautifully for a 100% natural, no-makeup look.

The started kit comes with:

1. Bare Minerals foundation in your color. Choose Matte or Original
2. Original Mineral Veil
3. Warmth All-Over Face Color
4. Full Flawless Face brush
5. Flawless Application Face Brush
6. Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
7. Get Started DVD
8. Bonus: Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo

Bare Minerals Matte


Finish- Eliminates shine for a flawless natural matte finish all day


Key Skin Benefits- All the benefits of our originals SPF 15 foundation, plus

• Contains Rareminerals ActiveSoil Complex which minimizes pores and promotes cell turnover for fresher, smoother skin
• Absorbs excess oil without drying skin

I got matched to the color Warm Tan in the Matte version. I think that this color is a pretty good match. There are some days where it seems to be lighter than my skin color because of the hot weather.  Where I live the temperature can be hot one week and then cold the next week so my skin color is constantly changing. When that happens, I just use a little bit of the Warmth All-Over Face Color and it fixes the problem. I think that this color will be perfect for my winter skin color. This has helped control shine, but I still think that you should use something that controls shine underneath the foundation. I really like the Mineral Veil. It gives my face a nice airbrushed look. 

Bare Mineral Brushes

I do not like the Full Flawless Face Brush or the Flawless Application Face Brush. They're good at applying the foundation and all, but these brushes shed like crazy. There's always at least 3-4 bristles on my face by the time I'm done applying everything. I have no complaints for the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush.  I just use my foundation as a concealer with this brush and it gets the job done. The Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo does a great job at cleaning the brushes.

Freebies: Tinted Hydrating Mineral Veil and Blush in Avant Garden

I received a free Blush and a Tinted Hydrating Mineral Veil  from the promotion that they had a while ago. The blush goes well with my skin tone. I've tried the Hydrating Mineral Veil, but I will only use it during the winter since my skin becomes a bit dryer in the winter time.

In conclusion, I really like Bare Minerals. It gives me buildable coverage and my skin hasn't had a negative reaction to it. All you is a little bit to cover your entire face. It feels like I have nothing on, and it stays in its place.
