First Sigma order

hanks to YouTube I've been exposed to so many makeup gurus and the great products that they recommend. I was always into makeup, but I never really knew how to use makeup brushes and the different techniques in how to apply makeup. I started getting into makeup while I was on mat leave last year because I was so bored staying at home all the time. However, since I wasn't working it was difficult for me to spend money on non essentials. Now that I'm back at work I've kind of been going crazy with getting all the stuff that I wanted, but couldn't get. Just last week I placed my first Sigma order. I've been eyeing the makeup brushes for a long time, but again, I was hesitant to make the first step. But ever since they came out with their Sigmax HD brushes I've been wanting them even more. I decided to take the plunge and place my order. My order will take between 2 to 12 weeks (I hope not the 12 weeks!) and I'm so excited to get it. Here's what I got:

Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki- F80, $16USD

This is what got me to order brushes. I have the MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush, but the brush hairs are starting to curl in the middle and I find it is very abrasive on my skin.

By the way, their numbering system has a purpose. The 'F' in 'F80' stands for 'Face'. All the face brushes have a 'F' in front of the numbers. Eye brushes have an 'E' in front of the numbers.

Angled Top Synthetic Kabuki- F84

I don't have a brush like this in my collection so I wanted to try this out. Originally I wanted to get the set that comes with 3 Sigmax HD brushes, but it was sold out.

Tapered Blending- E40

I don't have a MAC Brush that is similar to this. I do have a Quo crease brush, but I find it to be okay. It's not that soft and I feel like it doesn't blend as well as I would like. Hopefully this will be much better.

Small Tapered Blending- E45

Again, I don't have a brush like this. It sort of looks like a larger version of the MAC 219 Pencil Brush.

Small Angle- E65

I have a Quo angled brush, but I want to have more angled brushes in my collection.

Medium Angled Shading- E70

You can see a pattern here. I ordered brushes that I don't really have in my collection and this is the case here again. I think I'm going to use this to apply the outer 'v' colour, but this brush looks like it can do many things.

Hollywood Glamour Retractable Kabuki- Pink

Last, but not least, I'm really excited about this portable brush. I hate carrying around makeup brushes and I think this is a great idea. Plus, I really love the name of it- Princess Grace. There's 3 other kinds and they are all named after Hollywood starlets- Something About Marilyn (red); Breakfast With Audrey (black); and Miss Taylor (purple).

Mine is the pink version. Normally I don't like pink, but I found this one to be so pretty. I was debating between this one and Breakfast With Audrey.
