Sigma Beauty Mrs. Bunny Essential Kit


 
This is my newly bought Mrs. Bunny Essential Kit (brush set) by SIGMA BEAUTY.  
I bought it at RM333 nett from Luxola.com, a Singapore based retail outlet. Luxola is offering free shipping by DHL to Malaysia for purchases above RM100. I'm glad to have bought from Luxola because if not, it would have cost me USD120 + min. USD20 shipping fees which may end up RM420 or more!!! Imagine the cost saving I've gained.
 
This essential kit consists of 12 brushes for the face and eyes which include:
 
E05 - Eye Liner: Create smooth and even lines. Use with gel or liquid liners.
E30 - Pencil: Soften and smoke out lines. Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes.
E40 - Tapered Blending: Soft blended crease. Using just the tips to apply color, sweep back and forth through the crease for a diffused and blended finish.
E55 - Eye Shading: Even application of color. Place color across the whole lid for an even and strong application of product.
E60 - Large Shader: Uniformly cover the whole lid with product. Apply cream shadow base or cream shadow for quick and even coverage.
E65 - Small Angle: Create precise lining. Moves fluidly and easily across the upper and lower lash lines. Use with gel, cream or powder liners.
E70 - Medium Angled Shading: Soft application of color. Use for brow highlighting or to blend the crease.
F30 - Large Powder: Even powder application. Uniform blending of powder products onto the face and body.
F40 - Large Angled Contour: Subtle cheek application. Use the angle to softly contour the cheekbone. Can also be used to apply blush.
F50 - Duo Fibre: Creates an airbrush effect onto the skin. Can be used with powder, liquid or cream products.
F60 - Foundation: Smooth foundation application. Apply liquid or cream products such as foundation and primer.
F70 - Concealer: Conceal small areas. Conceal the hardest to reach areas such as around the nose and eyes. 

Wow!! Definitely it looks professional and do one really need so many brushes? You must be thinking that I'm very good in makeup. No. In fact, I'm only a beginner and I doubt if I will ever use up all.

Then, why am I still purchasing this kit even though I'm not using all?!
Of course other than the more you buy the better bargain you get, brushes from Sigma Beauty are relatively cheap compared to brands like Bobbi Brown or Shu Uemura which costs around RM100 per brush!!! With RM333 I can only buy 3 brushes from Bobbi Brown but now I'm getting 12!!

Even a travel brush set like the image above (Caviar & Oyster Collection Travel Brush Set by Bobbi Brown) costs RM380. It comes with 6 mini brushes and a hard cover. I've compared prices from Shu Uemura and they are offering something similar too. 
 
This Sigma Beauty brush set comes with a Cup Holder for you to hold the brushes and is handy for travelling. The only down side is Luxola doesn't have the black color. The light blue is cool but gets dirty easily.
