For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I hope you had a great one!
I literally had too much fun yesterday and it's all thanks to my friends! As I had blogged before, I was a little worried about having to spend Thanksgiving alone since it was my first away from the family, but my friends really did make up for it! I would post pics, but I totally forgot to take them! >.< I always find myself doing that whenever I bring my camera around. Anyways, I think a friend of mine took some pics that maybe I'll post later.
We actually did some house hopping last night going from her relative's house to her family friend's houses. Each house expected us all to eat their food so basically... (this might sound gross) I had to eat 2+ Thanksgiving dinners and to add to that, I had a Thanksgiving lunch as well.
Today will be my de-tox day! LOL. I couldn't manage to wake up to go Black Friday shopping, but no worries! There is always online shopping on Black Friday and also I like to take part on Cyber Monday! If you don't know what Cyber Monday is.... it's like Black Friday, but on Monday, most online stores will have massive sales and will have Free Shipping at the least! Yup! For those of your online shoppers out there, this is the perfect chance to save back on those shipping costs!
But today's feature is going to be one of my favorite brands of makeup brushes!
Sigma Makeup Brushes
I am an owner of the Sigma Complete Brush Kit without the Brush Roll and I've been using these brushes everyday for about half a year. Let me just say the quality of these brushes are fantastic!
The kit looks like this:
The kit consists of 5 face brushes and 7 eye brushes and I've been pretty set with all these brushes!
Brushes in this kit:
Small Angle - E65 - Essential for the application of gel or cream eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. This brush is also excellent for filling out the eyebrows. Synthetic bristles.
Medium Angled Shading - E70 - Angled, tapered, flat top. Ideal to apply highlight shades underneath the eyebrow and on the inner corners. It can also be used for a precise application of darker shades on the crease area. Natural bristles.
Large Shader - E60 - Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers. It also works great with loose eye shadows or pigments. Can be used to apply color all over the lid or precisely on the lash line. Natural bristles.
Pencil - E30 - Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.
Large Angled Contour - F40 - The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades. Natural bristles.
Large Powder - F30 - Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.
Duo Fibre - F50 - Specially designed to generate an ‘airbrushed’ finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.
Foundation - F60 - Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. It is also recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas. Synthetic bristles.
Concealer - F70 - The rounded, tapered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.
Tapered Blending - E40 - Rounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.
Eye Shading - E55 - Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.

What's also nice is that this brush kit comes with an extra free brush, which is very similar to the MAC 217 brush. Sigma calls this brush the E25.
I actually had purchased these brushes when they had their older names, but the newer ones are pretty self explanatory.
My favorite brush from this set would have the be the Duo Fibre F50 brush which is similar to the MAC 187 brush. I love stippling brushes as they give great airbrushed finishes for foundation application.
