Sigma Make Me Blush Professional Brush Kit

Packaging

The kit comes in this cute square cardboard box with the list of brushes included on the side. There are four different "sets" each with their own colour that is reflected on the outside packaging  with the little rabbit/mouse like cartoon. This kit is $109 available from sigma beauty.com with reasonable shipping rate & price to Australia.

The container is more of a hot pink round tube. It comes in two parts; a top & bottom container which I separate into face & eye brushes. The container snaps together by the two snaps either side of the contains. The material feels like synthetic leather and is very thick card or some sort of plastic. I love this container. Not only can it be used in every day life by having the two separate containers to store brushes, it also is travel friendly, portable, sturdy, easy to clean, keeps the inside dry (water proof) & durable. Pretty much all you need for your brushes, an all-in-one.

The brushes themselves have the same coloured handle as the container & with the rounded bottom, making the brushes more user friendly. When the brushes are first opened they come in their individual plastic sleeves I like to call them in a massive plastic bag sitting in the bottom container. The names and codes of each brush are printed on the side in a multi dimension random silver colour. Very cool when you hold it at different angles but I haven't experienced any of this coming off.

All brushes come with promotional information & a free gift which is the following brush.

**Update June 2013** They do shed after a years continued use. Not happy with that but I would recommend these brushes to start out with a build a stable brush everyday collection.
