Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80 Review + Guide

I have been on a hunt for a flat top brush that can be used with liquid. Hello Sigma's Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80!

This exclusive flat top synthetic kabuki was designed to deliver a flawless makeup application. The Sigma Makeup F80 is a buffer brush that can be used to blend powder or liquid products. The short and dense bristles make it easy to buff your liquid foundation. The long handle adds comfort to your makeup application. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid products and can be easily cleaned. 

Pros:

• Multi-purpose (can be used with creams, liquids & powders)
• Long handle (good for handling)
• Short dense bristles ( This gives an airbrushed look)
• Soft bristles ( Doesn't hurt when you buff your foundation)
• Price (Only $16.00!!)

I don't have any cons for this brush! It is rare to find a brush that gives you a quick airbrushed look.

This is how I use the brush:

First apply a small amount of foundation on the top of your hand or a metal plate.

You don't need a lot with this brush. Dab the brush, so it has a good amount of product.

Secondly dab the product to your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

Then buff it in for a airbrushed look.

At the end you should have a flawless face which looks like you don't have ANY foundation at all.

Loveee it! This brush gets 5 stars from me, I would definitely recommend it for anyone from a newbie to a MUA.

HUGE IMATS Toronto Haul

I got three yes.. three Royal & Langnickel brush sets. First I got the 20 piece and a travel brush set. After debating I had to get another travel set because it's amazing!

These brushes are sturdy and there also labeled. This set will be added to my kit. I'm excited to use my first fan brush : D

Here is a close up of the Travel brushes. Double ended and FAB! This set gets thumbs up for having an amazing blending brush in it. Also there is a pocket with a zipper on the side.. So far I fit a mascara,liner, udpp & eyeshadow in there. It's like my little emergency kit LOL

I decided to get a makeup setting spray from Graftobian. This spray is waterproof,smudgeproof & moistureproof. In other words your makeup isn't going ANYWHERE!! This is great for long days.

Kett Setting powder for a perfect HD finish. Plus it works for ALL skintones. Don`t let it fool you just because it`s white.

I won a Purely Cosmetics Diamond Powder Perfect Finish Powder from Enkore. I read on the website that it's similar to MUFE HD powder. Can't wait to try it out!

Im excited to be able to really try out NYX! I have a few shadows but that`s it. I`ve dreamt about trying Black Bean forever! Smokey eyes here I come lol..

Also that bright blue liner would be GORGEOUS with a nude or fuchsia lip! I think that will be my next FOTD.

This OCC liptar needs no introduction. I`m happy that I got to swatch them and feel the actual consistency before I purchased.  I got Strumpet which is described as a red seedless grape... HOT!

Surprisingly I didn't get ANY brushes from Crown. I decided to get the 28 palette I have been eyeing for a while. Also an empty 28 palette is perfect whenever you`re in a depotting mood!

I really needed some beautysoclean for my kit and myself. This purchase showed me that shopping around is key. I went to one both and it was being sold for 14.95 with tax. I have nooo idea why I didn't buy but I`m happy I waited! I went to the alcone booth and they were 2 for 15.00 NO TAX. Score :) Plus she threw in a whole bunch of wipes.

Love this picture! Brushes and more brushes. I got a pack from rubber mascara brushes from Nigel Beauty Emporium. Also a lovely pencil brush I got from Cici fashion brush. Pencil brushes are great to deposit color evenly in your crease.

The ever so popular MUFE smoky lash. I`ve heard nothing but amazing things about this soo I had to try it :)

Also the brow corrector was a must! Its waterproof and will last me a VERY long time.




This was the greatest purchase at IMATS.On Sunday right before IMATS ended Evepearl announced that all lip products were $5.00! I got to the booth late but I managed to snag two great lip colors. The first one is called Vampire Kiss & the secondone is called Wet kisses.




This Faceatelier product was picked personally for me by Debbie the President & CEO. This color is gorgeous on it's own or ontop of a lipstick

Ladies: Please let me know if you want any reviews or swatches on any of these products!

I hope you all enjoyed my huge haul! I have a lot of pictures that I will be put into a flickr stream soon. For now enjoy these great pics.

EcoTools BAMBOO 6 Mini Brushes Review

Eco Tools is a eco friendly product that is inexpensive. I had the opportunity to try out some ECO TOOLS products for the first time from The Makeup Mix shop.

How cute are these mini brushes?!?

The first thing I noticed was the soft bristles.

• The bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth’s resources as it is a highly sustainable plant. According to Wikipedia "Bamboos are also the fastest growing woody plants in the world". 

• The synthetic taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free. Synthetic brushes are perfect for wet products because the bristles don't cake together :)

• The sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminum.

Close up of the brush 

These brushes are smaller than the palm of your hand and made out of natural & recycled materials.

 It can be used on:

• Lips: To apply your favorite gloss or lipstick. (*Tip: They are small enough to get out lipstick from a tube that is almost finished)
• Face: To apply your concealer to your problem areas.
• Eyes: To apply cream shadows or eyeliner.
• Brows: To fill them in.

I would recommend these because they are small enough to fit in your make up bag. My favorite part about them is the fact that they can be washed and used over and over!

Ecotools can be found at your local drug store. If your Canadian they are sold at Zellers, Walmart & shoppers. Also check out The Makeup Mix shop for Eco Tools.

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. These brushes were sent to me by The Makeup Mix shop.
