I recently discovered the website cloud10beauty.com and after eyeing up way too many things I decided to place an order! I have been lusting after some Sigma brushes for about two years now but it's just too expensive for the postage from the US.. So when I saw that cloud10 sold Sigma I was very excited!
The items are very reasonably priced and the range of products is excellent! The main brands that I was excited to see were Kardashian Beauty, Sigma and Sleek Makeup. They have a points system which gives you money off future purchases and you get 200 points for just signing up.. With free delivery over €50 I just couldn't resist! I was almost shocked when my packaged arrived on Friday morning (I placed my order on Wednesday night!) and I was so impressed with the postage service. I thought I would get some brushes to begin with and then maybe order some more products in the future! Enjoy :)
#1 Sigma Round Top Kabuki F82 :
I have seen so many Youtubers and Bloggers give this brush a great review so this was number one on my Wishlist! I have used it twice already and I love it so far. It is so dense and it blends makeup very nicely without absorbing all of the product. I might do an in depth review on this in the future but for now I'm very pleased :)
#2 Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge :
I was so excited when I saw this product on the website.. I've wanted a Beauty Blender for so long so I thought I would give this a try and see if the sponge application lives up to the hype! I liked the look of the interesting shape and is think this was the item I was most excited to try. I have tried this once so far and I wasn't crazy about the application it gave. I wet the sponge before I used it but it gave quite a sheer application and I felt like it absorbed almost all of my foundation! I did like the shape for getting into corners and I loved the way it blended in my concealer. So for now I have mixed views but hopefully I'll find a way to work with this sponge :)
#3 Sigma Small Tapered Blending E45 :
Oh my goodness.. I have used this brush twice and I already know that it's going to be one of my favourites! I will definitely be ordering more of these next time I make a purchase from the website. It is amazing for getting right into the crease and giving a precise blend. I am so impressed with this brush!
#4 Sigma Performance Blending E36 :
This brush is a lot smaller in real life than I expected it to be! It is not very dense and it has hardly any bristles. However, it is excellent for precise blending like under the eyes! I don't know if I would buy another one of these brushes but I'm pleased to have this one in my collection :)
#5 Sigma Duo Fibre Powder/ Blush F15 :
I was attracted to this brush because of it's shape. I love applying blusher with a duo fibre brush and I was really interested by this rounded tip one! I used this today and it it was so perfect for blusher.. It is the perfect size to apply to the whole apple of the cheek while giving a diffused, blended look! I don't think I would use this for powder because it wouldn't give enough coverage for me but I would definitely recommend it for blusher :)
Thank you so much for reading :)
