Review: Sigma Travel Kit Naughty in Black


Another wonderful brush kit from Sigma
The brushes come in a gorgeous black clutch! 
 Sigma Travel Kit
I didn't feel uncomfortable with the length of the brushes since they are travel size. The face brushes come with 5 inche handles while the eye and concealer brushes have 4 inch handles.

This kit consists of 7 basic brushes plus Sigma offers for free a travel size Duo Fibre F50 brush !

What I've liked about this kit:
  • First of all I liked the design of the clutch! And not to mention the leather it is made of... So soft.
  • Extremely Travel friendly! It is very compact!
  • The brushes in this kit are the most essential ones. So, if you're a beginner, it is just what you need to start building your brush collection.
  • The handles of the brushes are very comfortable.
  • The bristles are soft and I've experienced minimal to no shedding (E30 and F50 did shed a bit at the beginning).
  • Brushes are very versatile, I found for each of them few additional uses!
Disliked:
  • The Duo Fibre F50 brush is so much smaller then the original size one... that I really can't find any use for it. It's not dense enough to use it for applying my liquid foundation, also because of  this it's not good for powdery products as well. But as it comes as a gift... :) It will be great if one day it will be improved or replaced (I mean this travel size F50 brush which comes as a gift!)
  • I will mention here the minimal shedding I've experienced with some brushes: E30, F40 and F50.
I am using it almost every day, and would recommend this kit to everyone!
