Sigma's New Premium Professional Kit

Sigma's Premium brush sets now comes with a new professional carrying case. It's similar to the case used for the Sigma Extravaganza Complete and Face Kit. (See my past reviews of the Extravaganza Kits and Collections.) I'm glad to see that Sigma has started to produce more of these cases because they're really wonderful! I feel a little like a makeup artist elitist toting around these luxurious brush cases. I hope that Sigma will sell these cases separately (and for an affordable price) eventually.

Get 10% off or free shipping with the Sigma coupons available for the premium brushes.

Sigma Eyeshadow Palettes - NEW Slim Packaging!

See the Sigma Makeup Coupons » page for the full list of Sigma Coupons.

Finally, Sigma has reduced the weight and size of their eyeshadow palettes. If you remember my Sigma eyeshadow review from earlier last year, you'll know that the palette lost some heavy points for their bulky packaging. I'm just glad that Sigma took everyone's advice and reduced the size. It could save us the trouble and some shipping fees too.

Sadly, I already bought a few of the "bulky" packaging so I'm stuck with them for now. These new slim designs do have me salivating a little though. Finally, something I can carry in my handbag for convenient travel.

Sigma Extravaganza Face Kit ($210) launches today

The Sigma Beauty Extravaganza Face Kit is an assortment of hand-crafted brushes with 18 karat gold-plated ferrules. The face kit features four 18K gold-plated brushes and a deluxe carrying case.

Due to a shipment delay, my photographs and full review of the Extravaganza Face Kit won't be up for another few days, after I've tested them thoroughly. On the bright side, the Extravaganza Complete Kit is being released on the 19th, so potential buyers might want to wait a bit to read up on that before deciding whether to snag the complete sets or not (one shipment = cheaper shipping).

Sigma Synthetic Precision Kit Preview and Coupon

I was fortunate enough to receive the Sigma Synthetic Precision Kit before its October 10th release on Sigma's website. The Sigma Sigmax Synthetic brushes have always been my favorite Sigma brushes, so you can imagine how excited I am about this launch. Here I am sharing a preview photo. Look forward to the full review come release date. I am also thinking of ordering a few kits to give away to readers. And in case you were wondering: yes, these brushes are most definitely worth all the hype.

Recap: On October 10th, Sigma will be releasing the redesigned Sigmax brushes with an additional tapered F86 brush added to the collection. They will also be releasing the brand new Sigma Synthetic Precition Kit, which are similar to the Sigmax face brushes, but smaller for precise application. These brushes can be used for the eyes or for precision application on the face.

If you are planning to buy these brushes, you can find this month's 10% off Sigma coupon here. You can also try your luck and enter the Sigma $300 gift card giveaway.

ASOS Giveaway Update: The winners have been selected and contacted by an ASOS representative. Thanks for entering and be sure to share with us what you bought. :)

Disclosure: I am an official Sigma representative. The brushes were sent to me by Sigma with no obligation for review or mention. My priority is always to my readers and I express only my honest opinion in every post.

$19.00 U.S./$22.50 CDN

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. Long-wearing polymers quickly coat from root totip, keeping lashes supple and flexible – never brittle.

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?
