New Brushes: Dupe of Sigma Kabuki Brushes?. ❤





Hi friends, I decided to do a review on these brushes that I have purchased in Amazon a few months back. My boyfriend decided to splurge on getting these for me and spoil me, haha. In this blogpost, I will be reviewing each brush and my experience with it so far. 

As you can see, the major differences between both the Sigma brushes and these KLTMALL Premium Synthetic Kabuki Makeup Brush Set is that:
  • I purchased them from different websites. 
You can purchase the Sigma Beauty Kabuki Brushes (top picture) Here: 
You can purchase the KLTMALL Premium Synthetic Kabuki Brush Set (second picture) Here:
  • There prices have a big gap between them.
Sigma Beauty Kabuki Brushes: Set brushes- $168  / Approx- £97.95
KLTMALL Premium Synthetic Kabuki Makeup Brush Set - £13.77 w/ free delivery. 
  • The KLTMALL Premium Brushes are faux gold plated and the Sigma Kabukis are Silver.
  • Sigma Kabuki Brush Set consists of 9 brushes whereas KLTMALL Kabuki Brush Set has 8.
  • Comparing the brushes provided in the set: Sigma Brush Set have F88 Flat Angled Kabuki & P88 Precision Flat Angled which KLTMALL does not have but rather another eyeshadow brush which have longer bristles (picture included below)

Before, I start reviewing each brushes and what the major differences are, I want to point out that I am not sponsored or contacted to make this review, All opinion-based comments are from personal experience. 

KLTMALL's claim on the Kabuki Brush Set (Description taken from the website) also, included in the description are directions on how to use each brush:
  • Large Brush Bristles Length: approx. 15.5cm
  • Handle Diameter: approx. 2cm
  • SYNTHETIC brush hair.
  • Small Brush Bristles Length: approx 18.5cm

------------------------------------------

It has been months since I have used these brushes and I can happily tell you that it is worth the investment. They all are high-quality standard in terms of the bristles and the handles. So far, I have not seen any fading in terms of the brush handle and any fall outs from the brush hairs. Plus, they are very easy to clean and use. For the worth of its price, it is definitely a bargain and a perfect gift to someone who loves makeup. Also, a perfect brush set for a beginner.

I am not here to bash any companies out, however sometimes it's not about the brand but the use, price and importance in quality of the products.

I hope you enjoyed this post, :)
Thank you for reading,
