Review: Sigma Brush Cleaning Glove

There has been A LOT of buzz around the new Brush Spa cleaning glove by Sigma.  I was reluctant to spend $40 on a glove...but I finally bit the bullet and bought one (note if you order it in March there is a 10% coupon code which I will list below).  It came with my Mr. Bunny brush kit today and I had to try it out as soon as I got home. 

Let me give you my first impressions - to be honest I was a bit skeptical about it.  It is made of a pretty heavy duty rubber but it kind of felt like one of those oven mitts that you find at Bed, Bath & Beyond.  The glove itself is a rubber material and it also comes with a cloth insert to use for more comfort.  My brushes needed a good deep cleaning so I gathered them up and headed to the bathroom.  I slipped the glove on and turned the water to a lukewarm temp.  I wet the head of my MAC F134 brush and then added some brush cleaning soap to the glove. Using circular motions I applied slight pressure and wiped the brush back and forth over the little nubs on the glove.  You should have seen how much makeup came off my brush! I kept wiping and rinsing until the water ran clear and then used the section between the thumb and pointer finger of the glove to squeeze out excess water.  I honestly can't believe how well a rubber glove with a few ridges and nubs can clean a brush - to say I am impressed is an understatement. 

Claims:  "The revolutionary device offers a variety of necessary textures and surfaces for removing all makeup from brushes while using only a small amount of cleaning solution. The dual-sided glove provides a complete cleaning process for both eye and face brushes" 
Price:  $40
Availability:  Only available on the Sigma website

Overall:  Washing my brushes is usually such a chore but I didn't seem to mind it so much. I am still a little put off by the price but...at least it performs well.

Sigma Beauty Essential Mr. Bunny Kit

This is my first Sigma brush kit - I really wanted the purple Essential Make Me Crazy kit but ended up going with Mr. Bunny because I thought the black brushes would match my MAC brushes better. 

The brushes themselves come in a super cut brush holder that snaps together.  You can separate the two halves to use as brush cups and then snap them back together if you have to travel with them.  One thing I really love about them is that the bigger brushes come with brush guards.  The brushes themselves a glossy black handle and super soft bristles.  I love that these brushes are vegan friendly and are able to maintain such a soft bristle.  I can't wait to see how they perform. 

I know the $120 price tag can be a bit of a deterrent but when you do the math it comes out to be $10/brush.  Well worth it.  This particular kit comes with:

E05 Eye Liner
E30 Pencil
E40 Tapered Blending
E55 Eye Shading
E60 Large Shader
E65 Small Angle
E70 Medium Angled Shading
E30 Large Powder
