Sigma F65 Concealer Brush

Sigma sent me this brush as a bonus after I reviewed my first Sigma brush on Amazon. It wasn't any kind of promo deal (I wish) but it was still really cool to get a full size brush! (I knew I was going to get a bonus gift but I had no idea it would be such a great one!)

I don't have much experience with Sigma brushes, this one is slightly different than my small tapered crease brush in that the handle isn't shiny and it is shorter. I'm not sure if it is a free brush thing or if the face brushes are all like this. All I know is that the brush itself (which is the only thing that really matters) is very well made.

At first I didn't quite know what to do with this brush. I haven't really used concealer a lot in the past. This brush inspired me to start using concealer on a regular basis. I've been using it to cover my facial redness (more on that later) and for under-eye concealer (a new thing to me as well). I've also found it handy for application of highlighter to my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, my cupid's bow, and above my eyebrows.

I was really pleased that I received this brush. It opened me up to new products and I was able to experiment with a brush that I usually wouldn't have picked up.

Review of Sigma Small Tapered Blending Brush (E45)

I finally bought myself a Sigma brush! I have spent a long time watching Tiffany D rave about these things on her YouTube channel and I thought it was about time I tried it out. And you know what? It's love.

First of all, look at the point on it! It's so small and perfectly tapered at the top that it is absolutely everything I always wanted in a blending brush. It's made out of natural fibers and every brush is hand made! (Isn't that so cool?) Just look at the side by side comparison between my Eco Tools blending brush that I have and this Sigma brush! The Sigma brush is so much more tapered that it makes the Eco Tools brush (that I used every day before purchasing the Sigma brush) look like it isn't tapered at all! The Eco Tools brush isn't really that bad but I just wasn't getting the precision I was looking for, well it looks like I will look no further!

The brush is very soft and it looks great too. I will definitely now be starting a collection of Sigma brushes. They look to be the same quality as MAC, better than Eco Tools, and really cheap! Sigma, you have a convert!

Rite Aid Renewal Brushes

I stopped by my local Rite Aid the other day to pick up some Eco Tools brushes when I found these babies. Rite Aid has replaced the awful, crappy brushes they used to sell with these Rite Aid brand brushes. I purchased the powder brush, the foundation brush, the shadow brush, and the blending brush and I love them!

The powder brush is big and fluffy and works great. It is very soft and has a lot of bristles. I believe all the bristles from the line are made of synthetic hair. The foundation brush is great and I have been using it daily ever since I purchased it. The shadow brush works really well for the lids and the crease. I really like the blending brush as well because it is very short and really gets in to hard to reach areas.

Has anyone else tried these brushes? Please leave comments, questions, and subscribe!

Ecotools by Alicia Silverstone 4 Piece Backstage Vanity Set Review

You can see the wipes I use for my face, more brushes, storage and some posters in the background... oops!

These brushes are really neat and they come in an adorable holder that is perfect for my shorter brushes! Ecotools is simply the best if you have a limited budget for brushes (like I do) and can't afford MAC brushes. This set was about $12.99 which was great because a stippling brush like that starts at $30 in high end brands. So lets review the brushes...

1. The Stippling Brush: I love this brush. It has white fibers that extend past the brown fibers on the brush to give a perfect airbrushed finish. I love the way the bristles feel on my face and this brush works perfectly with my MAC mineralize skinfinish. I originally wanted a stippling brush because this is the type of brush they use at MAC when they do make-up on people. Of course, their stippling brush is probably 10 times more expensive so this was an amazing find!

2. The Angled Eyeshadow Brush: This brush is great for highlighting and the crease. I know people like to use pointed brushes that look like paintbrushes to put shadow in the crease, but I like to use an angled eyeshadow brush for the crease because I feel like it fits my crease my well. This brush is very high quality and I love to use it!

3. The Eyebrow/Lash Comb: I hardly use this brush. The one pictured is actually one that I got in another EcoTools set because I gave the one that came in this set away (they looked exactly the same). I've used it a couple times to separate my lashes, but other than that I have no use for it. I have almost invisible eyebrows so I don't do anything with them, no plucking, nothing.

All in all I would definitely suggest buying this kit. Even though I had no use for the Eyebrow/Lash Comb, I think it was definitely worth the $12.99 for the stippling brush, let alone the angled eyeshadow brush and the beautiful holder.
