Sigma Dupes for MAC brushes


Money Saving Tip

I have loved Sigma brushes for a long time now, and can honestly say that I prefer Sigma over MAC. 

Now don't get me wrong, MAC is a wonderful brand and I 100% support it, however if there is a  product that does the same thing but costs a fraction of the price, I AM ALL OVER IT. 

Here are a few of my favorite dupes that I have found over the years.

The next few items are for storage and cleaning items

This is how I store / carry my make up when I take it places

I bought this container at Target in the Orginization Secteion


This is a Quick Change Brush Cleaner - This brand is not sold in stores (Sorry)

I use this after each time I use my brushes - I spray it on the brush and rub the brush on a towl to clean

I also do a deep cleaning of my brushes once a week using baby shampoo and water

I clean my brushes so often to prevent bacteria from forming in my brushes that can cause breakouts

I hope you all enjoy seeing the products I use. Again I am not saying to go out and buy them by any means. I have just fallen in love with these products and they have become part of my daily routine

If you have any questions on the color or the prices leave me a Facebook message and I will let you know

I will do a second post on some of my favorite hair care products as well
