Sigma F45 Buffer Brush- review, photos


Makeup brushes are very very essential for doing skilful & attractive makeup. No matter what quality makeup you are using, application can only go well when you are using good quality makeup brush.
Sigma Beauty brushes are famous worldwide & they have such high quality brushes that you should surely own some of their brushes & one of the essential ones is this Sigma F45 Buffer Kabuki brush which I'm reviewing today.

Sigma Beauty F45 Buffer brush



What Sigma beauty says...


Ideal to apply mineral foundation, loose or pressed powders. Also great to buff colors and obtain a soft, blended look. Natural bristles.

Price

$19

Packaging

The Sigma F45 Buffer brush looks very similar to a mini kabuki brush with a small handle & dense bristles. I received it in a small red pouch & over all this brush looks very cute :D


The bristles are very soft & not at all scratchy, they blend the powder so well & it's a great pleasure using it on the face!



In the mirror of my own experience

Honestly speaking, I had not used such a kabuki brush till now & now after using this one for 3-4 times, I've realized how important & essential it is. It has dense bristles which are very soft & they blend my loose powders so well which gives a soft bended look with a flawless & airbrushed finish. I mainly applying my loose mineral powders or powder blushes & they blend like a dream due to this brush, leaving an even & well-blended look. The brush is easy to wash although the hairs did shed a little for the first time I washed it but after that the shedding was quite less. It is a small sized brush which is very travel friendly & an important part of my makeup kit now. The only thing that you've to take care in it is that use it with a light hand as it picks up a great amount of product in one go which can be wastage of your product.


Good points

Very cute & travel friendly.
The bristles are very soft & glide on the face very smoothly!
Blends loose powder products very well.
Easy to handle & use.
The hair do not shed much.
Can be cleaned easily by following the instructions.
Surely worth the price.

Bad points

The handle is a bit short.
Can pick heavy amount of product if not used with a light hand.

Finally....

Overall, it's one of the best brushes I've used & it does what it claims. It is not over priced also so one can surely give it a try. I'm very glad to have it in my brush collection!

Would love to recommend it to all my readers & i'm sure your views wouldn't be much different than mine.

Chambor Blusher 68 Passion Rose- Review, Swatches & Photos

If we think about a blush shade, the first feeling of a blush is always pink. Pink is a natural blush color and that's why this color is so popular. I always love natural makeup and light pink blush is an essential part of natural makeup. I have many pink blushes from various brands but the desire of buying a blush is always insists me to buy more and more. Recently I bought Chambor’s Passion Rose Blush and I really love it. It’s a tremendous color of pink which makes your cheek look like a pink rose.

Chambor Blusher 68 Passion Rose

Passion Rose 68 is natural pink rosy shade blush with silver shimmers. The shade looks extremely beautiful on the cheeks. The shimmer is very subtle and delicate which gives the face not only a natural but also a beautiful glow when blended.


What Becca Rose says….
 Convenient to carry & used for re-touch
Lasts for long period of time
Water resistant – Long Lasting
Comes in Powder Form, Can be converted to Cream form by mixing it with Foundation or Moisturizer
Excellent blending & adherence capability
Non Comodogenic
No animal ingredients

Weight

 6 g

Price
 Rs.475

Packaging

I always admire Chambor's classy packaging. This blush comes in a navy blue packaging. Inside the box, you find the shining navy blue case with silver lining. The case opens with a click lock. Inside it a mirror and a thin brush is provided with the blush. the packaging is very neat and convenient. I love the packaging.


The Brush

The brush provided along with the blush is completely useless. It looks like an eye shadow brush more than a blush applicator.

Ingredients

Vitamin A & E
 
Shade

They come in many shades.The shade 68 Passion Rose is natural light rosy pink with light shimmers which is very pretty for medium to light skin tones.


Texture & pigmentation

The texture is soft and tremendously silky. Sometime it amazed me, because the texture of this blush is somewhere in between powder and cream blush.Perfectly blend able.  The pigmentation is wonderful, one or two swipe is enough for glowing effect.



In the mirror of my own experience

This blush is another one which makes me satisfied after using. I'm so glad to have some lovely blushes which make me satisfied!! Sometimes I feel we all girls and ladies are a bit greedy of cosmetics especially I'm crazy for lipstick and blushes. When I first saw it on the counter, I decided immediately to buy it. Now after using it for 2-3 times, I can say that my decision was perfect. Actually this is the perfect shade for my skin tone. The texture is superb and it blends like a dream. I know the 'dream' is a common word but these words have to used when we have no words to explain something beautiful. The lasting power is good can't be called perfect but it lasts for 5 to 6 hours easily so for me, it's good. If 5 to 6 hours lasting is not enough for you, you can retouch the blush lightly. I'm very very happy to see its effects on my face. I have used many blushes from Chambor and they never let me down with their quality. 

Good points

Elegant and exclusive packaging as always.
The shade is beautiful for medium to light skin tones.
The texture is outstanding and excellent. Neither like powder nor cream and so you can imagine about the texture.
Very pigmented.
The subtle shimmers give a beautiful glow to your face after blending.
Good lasting power.
Enough quantity.
Reasonable price.
Easily available.



Bad points

I didn't find the full ingredient list of blush on their website.
The applicator provided with blush is useless.
Finally....

I'm greatly satisfied about this blush. The quality is excellent and the effect is beautiful. I really love its texture which only can be called dreamy and wonderful. The shade is beautiful and natural which can worn with every shade's outfit. Can be used everyday for office and of course in night functions too because the glow looks tremendous in lights. 
 
Rating
4.75/5
Recommendation

I recommend it to all my readers. I'm very sure you'll love its effect after applying on your face. The have many colors both in warm and cool skin tones. You should choose one for yourself. 

Availability

Can be purchased on all Chambor counters all over India.

My online shopping experience from MedPlusBeauty.com

Hi everyone
The weekend was very depressing for me. My pc suddenly stopped working & after formatting so much of my photos, data etc was completely lost. This is such a big loss, you can't even imagine, the days which have passed will never come back & neither will the memories which were saved in those pictures but what can one do? This is the life...anyways after this sad news, I want to share something exciting because it's necessary for me too as I'm really feeling depressed and the good news is my lovely experience with a new website MedPlus Beauty which is recently launched and when I checked it for some shopping, I was amazed to see their collection. I'm very happy and excited to see that there are so many lovely shopping websites have launched in India. I think it's a good sign for Indian customers and an alert bell for all cosmetic shops lol. In my city, some big cosmetic shops have made their monopoly and that never give any discount or gift on their products. All such shops should listen to the the alert bells of these lovely Indian online shopping websites!!

After accumulating a certain number of points, one can redeem these points by purchasing products from the Gift Gallery. The products mainly consist of Bags, Home appliances, utensils etc. Would love the fact if they add beauty products as well in this Gallery! Check out more about this gallery- HERE.




In the mirror of my own experience


When I first checked MedPlusBeauty for shopping I was really confused because they had so many good brands and there are countless of things to purchase but after some hours search, I selected some products.  After putting all the decided products in my cart, I proceeded further for the payment etc. Unfortunately after a number of tries I could not finalize the payment & shipping. But the customer care service was very helpful & they called me up & then finalized everything themselves so I did not face much problem with this website. I'm not sure if this happens often but if it does the CCS is very helpful & assist you at every point. I received my package in 5-6 days which is a bit late. The products inside were very well wrapped in a bubblewrap sheet which kept the products safe from any sort of damage. 

Good points

A very wide range of brands available.
Nice collection of shades of all products.
So many other things apart from makeup & skincare available.
Easy to shop.
I received my stuff very safely. 
The website is very nicely arranged.
The virtual studio is great fun to use!
Free shipping on shopping of Rs 300+.
COD service is available for some places.

Bad points

After reading the experiences of other bloggers who have shopped from MedPlusBeauty, I came to know that their delivery is very fast but for my case it did not happen. I received my package after 5-6 days.
The preview of some shades is not shown.
COD service not available throughout India. 

Finally...
Overall, it's a great online shopping website which has such a great collection of brands & products available!!! The service is not bad & you get the products safely wrapped up. 
I just wish they expand their COD service to my city as well.

Rating
4/5

Recommendation
I will surely recommend this website to everyone who are in search of some products which are not easily available in the Indian markets.
