Review: Sigma's Mrs. Bunny Essential Kit

Hi everyone!
This post is on my review of Sigma's Mrs. Bunny Essential Kit. I bought the blue and pink version, but if you're going for the classic makeup brush look, this collection is also available in black and silver. Before I decided to do a review on these brushes, I wanted to wait at least a month and get the brushes into my makeup routine to get the full use of these brushes and their capabilities. Now that I have these brushes for about 3 months, I have fully experienced the use of these brushes to write a review.

In this kit:


E05 - Eye Liner
E30 - Pencil
E65 - Small Angle

These 2 brushes are great for eyeliner and adding shadow to your lower lash line. The E05 is tapered creating a very fine point, thus allowing you to create the thinnest lines with gel or liquid eye liners. With the E30, I like to use this brush to apply the eyeshadow on my lower lash line. It's perfect size allows you to put enough shadow to create that sexy sultry smokey eye. The E65 is a great multi-tool because it's perfect for applying any type of eyeliner as well as applying your eyebrows!

E40 - Tapered Blending: 

This brush is great for blending eyeshadows together. It's super soft yet sturdy enough to easily blend harsh lines and edges. 

E55 - Eye Shading: 
E60 - Large Shader: 

These two brushes are very basic brushes that every makeup enthusiast must have. It's great for applying shadows all over the lid. The E55 is great for applying shadows on certain parts of the eye lid while the E60 is great for applying a base shadow for an all over shade. I like the E60 brush because its big enough to apply highlighter on my brow bones. 

E70 - Medium Angled Shading: 

This brush is my definite FAVORITE of the entire brush set. It is great for applying shadow to your outer corners. I usually have trouble creating the perfect "V" on the outer corners of my eye. However, with this brush, I can create the perfect crease or smokey effect with just a single swipe! What I like to do is add a dark eyeshadow on the side where there are shorter bristles and create a gradient effect towards the longer bristles. I line the shorter bristles to the outer corners of my eye and sweep the shadow along my crease. Voila! perfect smokey eye! I have never applied my eyeshadows the same way again! This brush has definitely saved me time when applying makeup. I'm planning on getting myself a couple more in the future. 

F30 - Large Powder: 

I would have to say that I don't regularly use this brush because I don't use powder foundation too often. However, this brush is super soft to the touch and very easy to clean. If you don't use powder foundation, like me, you can still use this brush. Do you have the problem of applying too much blush? Well, use this brush as a "blending brush". Only instead of blending eyeshadow, you can blend the blush on your face to evenly apply it on your cheek. It will sweep away the concentrated blush and make your "over blushed" cheek look naturally flushed.... hey, that rhymed!

F40 - Large Angled Contour: 

This brush is straight forward, I use this brush to apply my blush and bronzer. It as the perfect size to fit the hallows of your cheeks and soft enough to create that natural flush. 

F50 - Duo Fibre: 

I have always wanted a Duo Fibre brush, mostly for the "airbrush" effect lots of makeup artists and beauty gurus swear by. However, this brush is a little disappointing. The problem is that the brushes are too soft and not sturdy enough to stipple on to your face. I found that the bristles would collapse once you touch the brush to your face making stippling a bit difficult. Also, the bristles create streaks on your face which I have to use my Real Techniques face brush to remove. I don't know if it is because of the Sigmax bristles that is diminishing the brush from fully allowing it to do it's job, but whatever it is, I could do fine without this brush. 

F60 - Foundation: 
F70 - Concealer: 

I do not use the F60 for applying foundation because I rather use a flat top kabuki brush or my Real Techniques complexion brush. However, I really enjoy using this brush as a concealer brush. I would apply my concealer to the larger blemishes and use the F60 to blend it in. For smaller blemishes, I use the F70


...and a very useful brush holder that is great for storing your brushes at your vanity or during a trip. It's sturdy enough to keep your brushes from getting damaged.


Overall, I really enjoyed this brush set and I recommend it to anyone who is starting out in makeup. It's really affordable compared to other brush kits. Also, along with affordability, it's really great quality. They have a special 10% coupon every month and also comes with a free sample of their eyeshadows.
