Never again: Sigma small stippling brush SS188 or F55
Let's continue with the sigma brushes review list shall we... I've talked about the goods and the bads so far, today I'm going to talk about their small stippling brush, the SS188 which has been renamed to F55. And again I face the fact that Sigma -sadly- has hit and miss brushes.
A flat-topped, full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of any formula colour – fluid, cream, powder or pigment.
This one however is a huge miss and I'll explain why! When I received it, it looked perfectly nice and felt very soft, I could use it without any trouble and liked it. But then I washed it and noticed the black hairs were leaking colour, anyway, still no problem as the brush looked perfectly fine and was just as nice in usage. But after a few more washes the horror began, the black colour got caught up on the white bristles (see above). I've tried several ways of cleaning it as well as multiple cleaning but the colour remains and even gets worse. If you think that's bad, then hold on: when applying cream blush the black colour comes off and leaves your lovely pink blush with a dark blackened undertone...
This brush is intented to be used with liquid/cream products so this problem shouldn't occur but -unfortunately- it did. Maybe I got a wrong batch, I don't know - hey sigma, if you read this send me a new one will you - as there is no way I'm paying for one.
Nevertheless I wouldn't recommend this brush to anyone ever! Myself, I've ordered a MAC stippling brush, as I'm quite sure that one won't have this problem!!

Hmm, roze blush die zwart wordt, dat is helemaal niet goed! Jammer!
Ik heb deze in het groot en heb er echt geen problemen mee. Het is mijn lievelingskwast voor het aanbrengen van vloeibare foundations! Ik zou het zeker aangeven bij een bedrijf waar je dat vandaag hebt... wat een misser :(
Inderdaad erg jammer en vervelend!
Heb je ook die van sigma dan? Heb deze brush gewoon van hun website gekocht.
Spijtig om te lezen, zoiets zou inderdaad echt niet mogen.
Ps: Gebruik je nog steeds veel van Avène? Ik vroeg mij af of je een groot verschil merkt met de gewone parfumeriemerken.
Inderdaad Ann, dus bij deze is iedereen gewaarschuwd :)
Ik heb niets meer van Avène gekocht sinds een dagcrème (waarover nog een review volgt trouwens), voorlopig gebruik ik veel van La Roche Posay en Paula's Choice. Algemeen vind ik deze producten beter voor mij omdat ze minder irriterende ingrediënten (zoals parfum bv) bevatten dan doorgaanse parfumeriemerken, toch zijn er nog enkele zaken van bepaalde merken die ik graag wil proberen. Maar het is een beetje uitzoeken wat je huid zelf wil en hoe ze reageert :).
Ah ok, ik ben op zoek naar een voedende nachtcrème, daarmee :) Clinique en EL deden niets bij mij dus ik eens benieuwd ben naar apotheekmerken. :)
Een nachtcrème van de apotheek heb ik nog niet gebruikt, maar dat komt misschien nog. Ik kan wel paula's choice hydrating mask aanbevelen als nachtcrème, die is supervoedend zonder veel poespas aan ingredienten en qua prijs vrij voordelig.
