Review:
The brushes are extremely soft and very high quality - i have been using Sigma brushes for awhile and have always thought they are very good value for the money!
There is some slight shedding from the brushes, mainly from the larger brushes (F30), but it is not eccessive and after the first wash it practically stops. It is common for more affordable brushes to shed the odd hair every-so-often!
My favorite brush is the Tapered Blending - E40, i use this brush everyday to apply my eyeshadow - it really creates a gorgeous soft, blended effect.
The colour of the case and brush hadles is beautiful, i don't think any other sellers offer this unique colour (or case!) - it really sets it apart from any other brush set.
I would definitely recommend this set as well as the Sigmax face brush kit! If you haven't tried Sigma or have been sceptical then i highly recommend trying them out, they really are great brushes!
