Review/Comparison: Sigma F80 Air Flat Kabuki

Hey hey hey!!!! It has been a long time.  I know, I know, not just a long time but VEEERRRYYY long time.  I haven't been blogging because work has been "clingy" and kids are getting big and you know, as (Filipino) parent, we need more time on them especially with school and other matters that has to do with growing up......I already have a teenager, by the way.  So now that Philippines is on Enhanced Community Quarantine, I plan to catch up on (a lot) of posts and reviews.

Today,  April 1, 2020, marks the 3rd week of staying at home due to COVID-19.  I hope that this "unseen enemy" will leave or I hope that scientists and researchers have already found a cure.  It's sad to see posts on social media that some of our soldiers (frontliners) in the hospitals have fallen fighting this enemy and helping the affected.

So anyway,  I am here to review and make comparison on Sigma's F80 Flat Kabuki and Sigma's F80 Air Flat Kabuki.  I posted on my instagram page that there will a blog soon, but.......sorry!  Took a long time to write this.  I bought the Sigma F80 Kabuki brush on a set last 2012 because I wanted to be a "makeup enthusiast".  I love Sigma, they are expensive but they last long.  Plus, of all the brushes, flat top kabuki is my top favorite.  So when Sigma released their F80 Air Flat Kabuki, I decided to get one and see the difference between the old one.

Charm Retractable Flat Top Brush

hi everyone!!!  i am back again after being absent for like forever ÜÜÜ  been very busy lately since my little kiddo is in her elementary level and she was accelerated one level up because of the K+12 scheme..........adjustments are being made (whew!)

so anyways, i would like to share to you what i have recently bought online.  i was really happy to have "discovered" this by just browsing.  i actually promised myself to refrain from buying makeup brushes since i have quite a lot (a lot to me because i am just a make up lover and not guru or even an amateur one ÜÜÜ).  so, while i was browsing, i came across Beauty & Minerals website.  i saw that charm have new brushes in store....and wow!!! (with eyes wide open) i was glad to see they have a retractable flat top brush!!!  it was so pretty...it reminded me right away of Sigma's Hollywood Glamour Kabuki - Miss Taylor.  so, i placed an order right away, which really made me even more happy because i just know now that multiply accepts payment thru paypal.  it gives me less hassle to go to banks or any remittance center.

i got my package after two days and boy was i soooo excited!!! ÜÜÜ i wasn't able to take pictures after i unpacked it coz i immediately washed it so i could use it right away ÜÜÜ so here it is:

 

i'm sorry i wasn't able to take a picture of the pink box....but yeah, it was placed in a pink box.  when i opened it, there were a few (2 or 3) hairs that fell off.  after it got dried, i noticed that there were hairs that "came out" from the bunch but no fret because it stayed intact.  the brush is really soft but is also dense.  it isn't scratchy on my (very oily and acne-prone) skin.  it's very handy....and i love the color - fuschia pink  and also, there was no strange smell (before and after) i washed the brush coz i have experienced buying a set of brush which had one brush that had a really bad, bad, bad smell (even after washing). oh by the way, the brush costs Php600 ÜÜÜ all in all, i super love it!!!

thank you sophie for creating this really nice and inexpensive brush Ü

ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ

beauty cosmetics makeup brush

hi!!! it's been a while ( a very while) since i last blogged.......and i'm quite excited to be back.  i'll be reviewing a makeup brush (maybe i should be saying makeup brushes ŰŰŰ)....it's actually my first time to make a review so i hope this will do good ŰŰŰ

recently, i have been so "hooked" on to buying makeup brush especially the flat top....i don't know! they just give me joy ŰŰŰ so, while i was browsing on to some sites, i came across, Beauty Cosmetics , an online shop who sell nice makeup and brushes.  they have makeup palettes, individual brushes and brush sets, their version of beauty blender and brush guard, etc....what caught my eye was their flat top brush which they compared to the Sigma's F80.  so then, i ordered it and received the package the following day....amazing!! ŰŰŰ and here's what i got:

i immediately compared it to Sigma's F80 and it's the perfect dupe!!!!  i got this for P400.00. it's good for beginners and for personal use too.  it didn't shed the first time i washed it and it still didn't shed after using it (i use it everyday).

because i was so impressed with the brush, i decided to buy the Beauty Cosmetics 8pcs synthetic brush set

the set comes with a man-made leather pouch and everything costs P950.00....i got a 10% discount (and so with the individual flat top brush) for using a coupon code. these brushes didn't shed too after i washed it.

all in all, i was so happy with my purchases.  their brushes are affordable but are oh so great ŰŰŰ so for those beginners who would want to own a Sigma F80 but doesn't know where to buy or maybe find it quite expensive to buy (Sigma's F80 is $16 plus shipping), Beauty Cosmetic's flat top brush is the perfect dupe for it ŰŰŰ and oh, the seller (Ms. Rosenn) is super nice and accommodating.




til next time.....stay happy everyone ŰŰŰ
