My first retractable kabuki brush was a very scratchy one, it bleeds and sheds like crazy and seriously smells like a horse's bum! *laughs* It came with a high price tag as it was one of the super few retractable kabuki brush available in the market at that time. Law of Supply & Demand, could be devilish at times!
Years after, a lot of companies are coming up with the retractable brushes. Purchase after purchase, reviews after reviews, I find it gets tougher companies are coming up with better and even more gorgeous brushes to please our eyes! And one company, obviously knew what we want! They've created a really cute Retractable Kabuki Brush worth giving a second look (or even third...fourth..or fifth...)

Pros
- such cute concept! Who would have thought to use Princess Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn as inspiration
- eye candy!
- comes in 3 colors! Not all kabuki brushes have colors to choose from
- extremely soft bristles and not scratchy at all
- made of synthetic bristles so it's soft no matter how many times you wash it
- very dense yet the bristles moves freely, so going around hard-to-reach areas is very easy
- no bleeding or shedding, washed this more than 3 times since I got this!
- size is just right to tote around
- multi-functional: for powder/mineral foundation, setting powders, beauty powders or even blush!
- packaged really well, comes with a very nice hard carton box with phrase from the famous Marilyn. "I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful"
- not too pricey for such quality
- shipping rate isn't too much
- perfect to be sent as gifts!
Cons
- do you live outside of the US? The waiting time may make you impatient, has the possibility to get lost during shipping
- typical retractable brushes concern, takes longer time to dry!
Overall
If you live in the US, there's no reason not to purchase this brush! This comes in three colors, so no excuse in saying "The Color is Not me!". I love the "Hollywood Glamour" theme they added that made the brush even more appealing! The way it was packaged, you can see that the company definitely took all the time and effort to make buyers feel special and spoiled!
If you live outside the US, there will definitely be reasons NOT to purchase this brush, the long waiting time, the unprofessional postal offices (PO's) some countries may have. And the fact that there are so many local sellers who sell cute retractable k-brushes at a very affordable price.
Personally? I wouldn't mind the long wait, I wouldn't mind the extra shipping charge. This brush alone speaks for itself. Very unique and it separates itself from all the retractable k-brushes available out there! And the best part about this, aside from it being aesthetically gorgeous, it functions and performs really well! I love how easy I buff my mineral foundation in the morning without the scratchy feel and I like the fact that I don't need to bring a separate blush brush to do my blush retouch midday!
Tips
- do not close the cap of this k-brush while the bristles are still wet, make sure the bristles are completely dry
- wash your k-brush regularly, never think that it is clean because the bristles are covered!
- lay the brush flat on a towel and let dry, never let it stand to prevent water from getting into the glue thus destroying the brush
- never blow dry the bristles to quicken the drying time
- you want to send gifts to your friends outside the country and no time to go to your local postal offices? Purchase this online and send this to your friends as gift! Any makeup enthusiast would love to own this brush!
Will I repurchase?
Yes, as gift! Not anymore for personal, judging the way I take care of my brushes, I think this one will last me years! :) I'll definitely report back if this failed me!
Where to purchase and how much?
At Sigma website for $25.00 (approx Php1,150)
Shipping to the Philippines costs $5.60 (approx Php258.00)
Total amount is $30.60 (approx Php1,408)
