Make Me Classy

After a month of using my Sigma Make Me Classy Brush Set, I am now ready to give a decent review of them.

Here’s the case which is very useful as I use one part to store my clean brushes in and the other part to store the dirty ones in. The only thing I didn’t like about this was the scratch. Yes, my case was scratched. I ordered this from the US and so I have no choice but to keep it.

The clasps can sometimes be annoying too. They’re a bit hard to close. Here are the brushes:

This set includes 12 brushes:
1. Large Powder brush
2.Duo Fibre brush
3. Foundation brush
4. Tapered Blending brush
5. Concealer brush
6. Small Angle brush
7. Large Angled Contour brush
8. Large Shader brush
9. Pencil brush
10. Eye Shading brush
11. Medium Angled Shading brush
12. Eyeliner brush

I like the fact that each brush is labeled with its name and number.

These brushes very rarely shed (wet or dry). The large powder brush still bleeds whenever I deep clean it. The Duo Fibre also bleeds when I wash it.


The bristles are very soft although sometimes the foundation brush tends to prick my skin a little. It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt but it’s a bit annoying at times.


My favorites are the duo fibre brush, concealer, foundation and blending brushes. I think you can create a whole look with just these brushes.

They are very easy to clean but the tricky part is drying them. I bought brush guards just to maintain their shape. My other brushes (Charm and Ellana) don’t need brush guards when drying.

The brushes are a mix of natural and synthetic so if you are allergic to one then it’s best to just buy individual brushes. So far I haven’t had any allergic reactions to these brushes.

I can say that these are the best brushes that I own, so far. I am planning to buy another set to bring to gigs but I’ll be buying the ones in a brush roll. The black case is too heavy to be lugging around along with my traincase.

These brushes are available in black, coral, aqua and purple. I was thinking about buying the purple one before but Kitten said that black looks more professional. I’m glad I listened to her.

What are your favorite makeup brushes? I wanna know!

    @kirin: Sa Sigma mismo but I think there's an online site that sells Sigma here in the PH. I think they're a Sigma affiliate.

    though speaking of which, I would've preferred the roll instead the case, that is so heavy.

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
