Guest Post – How Do You Deep Clean Your Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush?

November 1, 2011 by Bun Bun 2 Comments

These are the usual instructions for brush cleaning:

  1. Wet the bristles.
  2. Apply a small amount of shampoo onto your hand and with the brush, work into a lather.
  3. Rinse the bristles under running water. The initial stream of water will contain makeup residue.
  4. Rinse until no shampoo or makeup residue is left on the bristles.
  5. Leave to dry.

Well, with the Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabubi Brush, the usual set of rules don’t work to bring the brown and dirty bristles from a week’s use back to their original white tip condition.

Today I guest blogged about how the Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge managed to miraculously clean the hardest to clean of brushes – Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush. If you read it, it will change your life too. Haha.

As mentioned in my post on how to How To Deep Clean Your Makeup Brushes With The Daiso Detergent For Puff and Sponge, I was pulling out my hair every time I had to wash the F80 brush. Due to its incredibly soft and dense bristles that stain from liquid foundation, regular shampoo cannot get rid of the makeup residue.

Was it just me? Was my method of brush cleansing wrong? I thronged the web for a solution, then I came across blogs that claimed that staining of the Sigma F80 is inevitable.

No, no.

I was not willing to take ‘inevitable staining’ for an answer.

From a 45 minutes brush cleansing battle, the Daiso brush cleanser has cut the time required to clean the Sigma F80 brush to a mere 5 minutes (less than that actually!).

You should read the full post on Karen’s makeup and beauty blog!

Sigma F80 Kabuki Brush: To Apply Liquid Foundation For That Flawless Airbrushed Effect

September 30, 2011 by Bun Bun 20 Comments

If there is one face brush I had to choose, and one brush only, to apply everything from foundation to contouring powder to bronzer to blush to highlight, it would be the Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush.

When I made the switch from compact foundation to liquid foundation (*ahem* powder accentuates fine lines. Signs of aging), I didn’t know how to apply liquid foundation properly. Recommendations included the use of fingers, makeup wedges, makeup the expensive MAC 187 and Beauty Blender.

I never liked applying liquid foundation with my fingers because firstly, how clean can your fingers get? Secondly, some liquid foundations take such effort to wash off! The Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation is one – it just makes the fingers and hand all oily and yucky. Lastly and most importantly, the use of fingers to apply liquid foundation never gave me that effect Sigma F80 has.

As for makeup wedges, I bought a pack of 20 and the remaining pack of 15 are still sitting there pretty, waiting for the day I will use them for… art and craft, maybe? They soak up so much liquid foundation product and leave little to apply on the skin! Disastrous! And they’re not exactly environmentally-friendly, what with all that disposable throwing away business, ya know~

I did a lot of research on the best brush to apply liquid foundation with, and it came down to 2 brushes – the MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush (U$42.00) and the Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush (U$16.00).

How To Get Squeaky Clean Makeup Brushes With The Daiso Detergent For Puff And Sponge!

September 28, 2011 by Bun Bun 22 Comments

Makeup brushes harbor plenty of bacteria from product residue, skin oils, dust, and old, oxidized colors. Imagine all that bacteria vacationing in the deep, dark ravines of the bristles, waiting to contaminate your skin!

It is therefore a good habit to deep clean your brushes at least once a week. I deep clean my brushes every weekend, which is considered normal for brushes used on your own skin.

I have professed my newfound adoration for the Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge in the previous article. Let’s continue with how exactly to get your makeup brushes from dirty to spotless in mere minutes!

Here are the steps for washing your gunk-filled makeup brushes with the Daiso Detergent!

My Best Friend, The Best Makeup Brush Cleanser: Daiso Detergent For Puff and Sponge Review

August 25, 2011 by Bun Bun 12 Comments

(Sorry I just had to use Japanese-looking fonts to bring out the Japanese-ness of this product – meaning EXCELLENCE. =D)

This must be one of the things I’m most grateful for discovering in my life!

The Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge has drastically reduced my makeup brushes washing time from 60 mins to just 20 mins. My Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush took up about 2/3 out of that hour because it is an incredibly difficult to wash brush with its incredible dense synthetic bristles.

The MAC Brush Cleanser did nothing to return my Sigma F80’s bristle tips to their original white color.

I will write a post soon, solely on how the Daiso Detergent pulled me out of my dirty-F80-brush depression (LOL!) within 5 seconds of using it.

Packaging

Honestly I wouldn’t have given this bottle a second look if not for the increasing number of positive reviews about this amazing brush cleanser. It looks so… random. HAHA.

Nobody can be blamed for assuming that this bottle with the word ‘Detergent’ is for clothing stain removal rather than for ‘puff and sponge’ (printed so small!), and certainly not for makeup brushes for that matter.

I can’t read the Japanese words on the bottle, but when translated, claim (sourced from many websites):

- Disinfecting and Fragrance-free and contains no pigment.
- Removes remaining foundation quickly.
- Keeps your makeup tools clean.
- Safe cleaner mostly composed of detergent kind to the skin and sponges.
