2 MY REVIEW: SIGMA BEAUTY SPA BRUSH CLEANING GLOVE

  • February 26, 2013
  • Mai Al Moayyed
  • · Brushes · Miscellaneous

So as you have all heard from the chaos in the beauty world regarding this glove- I have finally received it and I’m excited to review it for u!

20130226-155254.jpg

For those who want to order it- click on SIGMA BEAUTY and they do deliver worldwide. If you have a US forwarding address, it would be faster !

As you all know, the Sigma Spa Glove is very quick and effective way to help deep clean your brushes! It is super unique- never produced before- with different textures and surfaces to help in removing makeup & dirt from your brushes with only very little shampoo.

You know that I teach classes, and I have a gazillion brushes to wash every few days… This is a lifesaver! To be honest the palm on my left hand is super dry from washing the brushes on it with soap… It’s time to give it a break once and for all!
The glove is DOUBLE SIDED- FYI.. One side is totally different than the other side.
One side is mainly for FACE brushes. The other is for EYE brushes & other smaller ones.

The 6 unique cleaning textures are below
20130226-155303.jpg
So let us test drive this glove and see how it works. I will list the pros and cons as I go along!
So here is the step by step illustration of how to actually wash your brushes- it’s important to read the steps or else you’ll get a bit confused!
20130226-155308.jpg
When I first wanted to clean the brushes I decided to was the face brushes, so I wore the glove on my left hand.. I’m right handed so cleaning brushes would be easier for me this way… It is when I got to the eye brushes and I had to flip the glove it got very hard for me as I really can’t use my left hand to wash the brushes with! This is the only disadvantage with the glove! I guess I will clean All brush types with this side (FACE) as it is easier for me!
These brushes are dirty so I decided to wash them
20130226-155333.jpg
So here is how to clean the FACE brushes!
20130226-155322.jpg
The different textures is a THUMBS UP for sigma beauty! So smart to do that to actually clean in between the different hairs.
The refining part is great! It is small little dots which help remove excess soap and excess dirt in between the brushes!
20130226-155337.jpg
Here is how to clean the EYE brushes (flip glove)
20130226-155328.jpg
It was a little hard for me to clean the eye brushes, as I said earlier, had to flip the glove- but If it seems hard to do so you can just clean it in the face side!
20130226-155347.jpg
I absolutely love the last part- SHAPING the brushes!!! It saves a lot of time and shapes them soooooo perfectly! Especially for those eye brushes (blending) it helps me out a lot to shape them up! Gotta shape them or else they’ll dry supper puffed!
ALL CLEAN BRUSHES!
20130226-155352.jpg
I really recommend you to buy this glove- whether you have 5 brushes or 500! It is a must have and it is a super helpful product- health wise as it will protect your palm/hand from washing and shampoo- and saves you the time of shaping!
You can order yours from SIGMA BEAUTY !

0 Sigma Brush review: LARGE ANGLED BRUSH (vs. MAC)

  • September 15, 2011

F40

What I love about sigma is their quality & price. Combined- it becomes a winner.

The Large Angled Brush (F40)

 

 

This brush is used to contour the cheeks. Fibers are buffed around the edge & very soft. I love using this brush as a blush brush too, since the angle helps the diagonal application of the apple cheeks. Contouring the cheeks is perfected with this brush as it creates the illusion of high cheekbones- giving more dimensions to the face.

 

Comparison of Sigma to MAC: MAC has the exact brush MAC 168. Same size, same softness.

 

Sigma price: $ 14

MAC price: $ 34

What I love about sigma is their quality & price. Combined- it becomes a winner.

The Small Contour Brush (F05): 

This brush blends and contours powder products. It’s a soft dome brush that is perfectly used to contour cheeks, nose, etc. You can also use this for blush or bronzer.

Comparison of Sigma to MAC: MAC has the exact brush MAC 109. Same size, same softness.

 

Sigma price: $14

MAC price: $34

0 FULL REVIEW: MY SIGMA BRUSHES… FULL SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

sssss

I waited 2 weeks for their delivery. And after receiving them, using them & trying them out I have to say- I’m absolutely impressed.

I have ordered 10 brushes from www.sigmabeauty.com for an amazing price of $120. I’m surprised- the price is too little! Those are TOP QUALITY PROFESSIONAL brushes which top makeup artists’ use – which are priced affordably! If I got those same brushes from MAC, I would have paid around $500!!!

I can’t explain how satisfied I am by the quality of the brushes. The hairs are so soft- I swear- even softer than MAC’s, the brush handles are thick, making it easy for a stronger grip. What I also loved was the unbelievable variety of brush shapes. They have types of brushes that even MAC doesn’t have. THEY ARE VERY SPECIAL & I DO RECOMMEND YOU GET THEM!

What even makes them so special is how each brush specifies what it’s used for by having its use written on each brush!

I only got 10, cuz I have many of the others, but if you are willing to buy a stash of brushes, please invest in good ones like sigma brushes. TRUST ME.

In my coming few posts, I will compare the brushes to MAC using pictures.

*(each brush review will be posted in a seperate post)

Please order yours now. Go to www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=137083

THEY SHIP WORLDWIDE!!! :)
