Review & Swatches : Sigma Bare & Flare

Hey girls!

Am primit Goodie Bag-ul de la Sigma cu ocazia atingerii pragului de 10 mii de like-uri pe Facebook. Am aplicat pentru el exact la timp, pentru ca la o saptamana dupa ce l-am primit, programul a fost anulat. Am primit mai multe produse, printre care paletele Flare si Bare.
I received my Goodie Bag from Sigma when I reached 10 thousands likes on Facebook. I applied for it exactly in time because a week from then, the program was canceled. I  received several products, including the Flare and Bare palettes.
Design-ul lor e foarte frumos. Deloc incarcat, dar suficient de colorat incat sa nu fie sobru. Sunt putin cam mari, ceea ce le face mai greu de transportat si depozitat, dar din cate am vazut pe site acum au scos variantele “new slim packaging”. Ambele au cate 8 nuante,  pensula cu doua capete si o oglinda. 
The design is very pretty. It’s not at all crowded, but colorful enough. They’re a bit big, which makes them harder to transport and deposit, but from what I saw on their site there’s a “new slim packaging” version. Both of them have 8 shades, a dual-ended brush and a mirror.

Nuantele sunt neutral si e foarte buna atat pentru machiaje de zi, cat si pentru cele de seara. La ultima sedinta foto am folosit-o pentru ambele look-uri, de-abia astept sa va arat pozele :D. Approach si Command sunt sidefate, Shine are un sclipici superb, iar restul sunt mate. Snoop, Hitch si Act nu sunt foarte pigmentate, dar se pot aplica in mai multe straduri pana culoarea ajunge la intensitatea la care v-o doriti (cum se poate observa in poze). Elope e foarte bun ca highlight, Control pentru contur in exterior si Hitch ca un maro natural in pliul pleoapei. Mi se pare comparabila cu Naked de la Urban Decay, desi n-o am pe aceea. Vine cu pensula formata din E25, potrivita pentru aplicarea culorilor pe pleoapa si E30, pentru coltul interior sau highlight in cel mai inalt punct al sprancenei.
The shades are neutral and it’s very good for both day and night make-up. At the last photo-shoot I did I used it for both looks, can’t wait to show you the pics :D. Approach and Command are shimmery, Shine has a beautiful glitter and the rest of them are matte. Snoop, Hitch and Act aren’t very pigmented, but they can be applied in multiple layers until the color reaches the intensity you want (as you can tell from the pics). Elope is great as a highlight, Control for the exterior and Hitch as a natural brown in the crease. I think it’s similar to Naked from Urban Decay, although I don’t have that one. The brushes are E25, good for applying colors on the lid and E30, for the inner corner or highlight in the highest point of the brow bone.

Aceasta este mai pigmentata decat Bare. Singura nuanta problematica este Allure care, desi e foarte frumoasa, necesita mai multe straturi pana sa arate vibranta. Publicize, Gossip, Allure si Beware sunt mate, restul fiind sidefate. Are nuante foarte vesele, dar poate fi folosita cu usurinta si in sezoanele mai reci. Ba chiar Resist si Gossip sunt superbe pentru toamna. Pensula e formata din E55, perfecta pentru aplicarea culorilor pe pleoapa mobila si E40 pentru pliu si blending.
This one is more pigmented than Bare. The only problematic shade is Allure and, although it’s very pretty, you have to pack on layers before it’s noticeable. Publicize, Gossip, Allure and Beware are matte, the rest are shimmery. It has fun shades, but can easily be used in colder times. Actually Resist and Gossip are gorgeous for fall. The brushes are : E55, perfect for applying colors on the lid and E40, for the crease and blending.

Pretul lor e de 35 $, singura “problema” e ca trebuia sa platiti si taxe la vama. Bine, asta depinde si de vames, am inteles ca la alte fete sunt mai indulgenti.
The price is 35 $.
