Sigma Brushes Coupon Codes & Extravaganza Face Kit Photos and Thoughts

Getting Sigma Extravaganza Brushes? Save $21 and get a free gift when you use the sidebar coupon or one from the complete list of Sigma Brushes Coupon Codes.

I was very surprised to learn that this Extravaganza Face Kit costs a whopping $210. After opening the package, however, I can see the justification. The casing itself is sturdy, thick, and feels... expensive. The brushes are literally made of gold. Everything about this kit screams luxury. If you're someone with expensive taste, this brush kit is definitely for you. And if you think this kit costs too much, just add up the price of a few MAC brushes and it's quite equivalent. Now imagine if MAC came out with 18K plated brushes. (Can we say unaffordable?) I haven't gotten a chance to use most of these brushes so expect the full review in a few days.

Sigma Extravaganza Face Kit ($210 at sigmabeauty.com)

I have also just received the Extravaganza Full Kit (releases December 19th) and I am literally at a lost for words. It is a collector's dream collection. The Sigma Bunny Collection contains my favorite makeup brushes of this year, but no doubt the Extravaganza Full Kit is the best thing that any makeup lover could ask for this holiday season. I'm not kidding at all... If you are only going to get one kit this season, save up for the Extravaganza. You might never need another kit ever again. The Full Kit photos and impressions will be posted today.

Intensely inky, this lightweight, innovative mousse-like formulasaturates lashes in a carbon-black pigment that promises the deepest,darkest, richest look imaginable with full long-lasting coverage.Each stroke of the unique double-lush brush creates vixen volumeand lift by filling in sparse lashes, magnifying and multiplyingmagnificently.

This mascara will be released in North America on October 6, 2011 and internationally starting January 2012. I know MAC mascaras get a bad rep, but I am really excited for this mascara. I'm a fan of the dark, intense lash type of look. What do you think? Will you be forking over the money to give this a try?
