Sigma Shine Eyeshadow Review

Hey guys,

You may remember a few weeks ago I placed an order with Sigma and received this free sample of eyeshadow. I got a comment asking for a review over it- so here it is.

This particular eyeshadow is a part of their "Bare" palette. Although they have recently started carrying single eyeshadows, this shade is not available individually, which means if you want it you have to but the whole palette ($39).

This particular shade is a deep, dark, rich black with mainly silver glitters. It looks like there are some teal colored glitters but on the eye it really pulls the silver.

This eyeshadow is extremely pigmented. A little goes a LOOONG way. 

This eyeshadow is pretty buttery so if you don't tap off the excess you will get it everywhere.  

When you apply this eyeshadow, it is best to pat it on to build up the color and the glitter. Almost like a base coat, then add a second layer to enhance the glitter.

This color stays on for several hours. The only problem I see with eyeshadow is that you have to do your eye makeup first and then your face makeup because you will get fallout. The only way you could do it the other way around would be to put a tissue or some kind of barrier between your eye and the tops of your cheekbones/underneath your eyes.

Overall, I think this is a beautiful color. I wish they sold it separately in a single form but maybe they will soon. I would love to try their palettes based off of this single shade. I am very impressed and feel like there are so many ways you could use this color.

I hope you enjoyed this review! Let me know if you have tried any of the Sigma shadows and what you think of them.

Sigma Brush Haul

Hey guys!

As a Christmas gift to myself, I decided I would order some Sigma brushes. I have wanted some Sigma brushes for years now but never broke down and bought some until now. I have always heard nothing but good reviews about them so why not? I ordered the Sigmax line of brushes and several individual brushes that I knew I would use frequently. So without further ado, let's take a look at what I purchased. 

This is how the box came in the mail and how the brushes were packed.

It came with a note that explained how to clean your brushes. 

Here is an overview picture of everything that was in the box. With my brushes, I also received three pamphlets that explained the details of each brush and how they can be used. In addition, I received a free single eyeshadow. 

Here you will see that the brushes came wrapped in plastic and a few of the brushes came with brush guards. 

This is the free eyeshadow I received in the shade Shine.

This eyeshadow is AMAZING! It is very, very, very pigmented and this eyeshadow alone has made me consider buying the palettes from Sigma to give them a go. I love this color. It's a super dark black with silver glitters in it. It also glides on like a charm. I barely had to touch the shadow for it to swatch like this on my hand. 

In this picture, you can see how tightly packed the bristles are in these brushes. The second on the left looks slightly used because it was. I couldn't resist feeling it on my face! lol Sorry.

These are the face brushes from the Synthetic Essential Kit.

These are the "babies" of the Sigmax Kabukis above. This is the "precision" part of the set.
