Sigma Travel Kit: Nice In Pink Review

I've had the Nice in Pink Sigma Travel Kit since Valentine's Day 2010. It is so cute and PINK :)

The brushes are made with the same quality as their full sized counterpart. Here is a description of this kit:

The Sigma Makeup travel kit Nice in Pink retails for $49.99 (plus tax and S&H) It contains 7 essential brushes to achieve a flawless look on the go. Take Nice in Pink to your favorite travel destination or keep it in your purse for a quick touch-up during the day or a night out. All brushes are individually stored in a stylish metallic pink clutch equipped with a convenient pouch to carry all your must-have makeup items.




Clutch Dimensions (closed): 7 x 4 inches.

Face Brushes: 5 inches total

Eyes/Concealer Brushes: 4 inches total

Brushes in this kit:





Large Powder - F30 - Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.

Duo Fibre - F50 - Specially designed to generate an ‘airbrushed’ finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.

Large Angled Contour - F40 - The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades. Natural bristles.

Eye Shading - E55 - Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.

Concealer - F70 - The rounded, tapered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.

Tapered Blending - E40 - Rounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.

Pencil - E30 - Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.

Sigma Makeup offers a free travel size F60 brush with this kit!

I also received the travel size E25 as a free gift with this kit

As I said before, these brushes are made with the same quality as their full sized counterpart....don't let their tiny size fool you :)
I was able to create a full makeup look with just these brushes while on the go.

Now the I must tell you that although the quality is exactly the same, their actual sizes and shapes of the brushes are not all identical.

As you can see here with the F40 the travel size is on the left, full size on the right. A slight difference but it still gets the job done.

Here the F60 (travel size on left, full size on right) These are pretty much identical

And the biggest size difference is the F50 (travel size on left, full size on right)

But really, how can you expect that they make the travel brushes identical to the full sized? It would be awkward in a travel sized clutch with short handles and full sized heads on them. It may be a big difference but I still find that it gets the job done while on the go.

The eye brushes on the other hand ARE identical to their full sized counterparts.

Here is the E40 (travel size on left, full size on right) The travel sized one was in a brush guard so its not a fluffy as the full sized. But you can tell, its the same

Here is the E55 (travel size on left, full size on right) again, the travel one was in a brush guard so the shape is a little more narrow.

And last but not least for size comparison is the E30 (travel size on left, full size on right) Exactly the same

Overall, the brushes are the same, sure some aren't the exact size but this is meant to be a travel kit. They fit nicely in a large purse or carry on bag. I will definitely be taking them with me when I travel. And for the price they make great gifts!

So there you have it, my thoughts/review on the Sigma Makeup Travel Kit: Nice in Pink.

Sigma Makeup Brushes! Review Introduction

If you have ever been on YouTube, you've probably stumbled across a video about Sigma Makeup Brushes....That is exactly how I found out about this amazing company.
It all started almost 2 years ago. I was on the quest to find some nice, yet inexpensive makeup brushes. My husband suggested I look on ebay (that's his answer for everything lol) So I searched...and found a lot of listings for MAC brushes, but way out of my price range. I finally found a full set of really nice looking brushes that were made with real goat hair. They were a no-named brand, but there were so many brushes...and looked so professional that I got them. I only had them for a few weeks when I decided maybe I should have done more research and found something different. The bristles were scratchy and smelled so bad. I was searching YouTube for a video about how to wash your makeup brushes and I stumbled across a Sigma Makeup Brush review. (By MakeupbyTiffanyD) She was comparing the Sigma Brushes to her MAC ones and they looked identical. I became more and more interested in these Sigma Brushes so I watched more reviews and they all had the same message: MAC quality brushes for a great price. A few months later I talked my husband into getting me the Complete Kit. 6 months later I got him to get me the Travel Kit and here we are 6 more months later I got him to get me the Premium Kit. These brushes are the nicest brushes I have ever used/owned. They are so soft, crafted so nicely. The company is great, their customer service is top notch and all of their employees are super sweet. I have had the pleasure of chatting with a few of them on Twitter, even the owner Simone and let me tell you - the nicest girls! They are committed to making excellent products and keeping things fresh. This fall they are launching some new products and I cannot wait until I can get my hands on them :)
They have recently launched a new website:

You can now purchase brushes individually and build your own kit!

And as always:





I really suggest you check them out! You will not be disappointed!

Stick around, I'm doing a review on the Travel kit next!
