OMG! Hi guys , I recently recieved my brush guard package this evening , and I was like so surprised and happy :D , I had no idea that what day it might be coming in , and than boom... all of a sudden it arrives :) , A few photos that probably shows my excitement to use them :D :) .

I got the Variety Pack which includes 6 brush guards .

Vega Make Up Professional Buffer Brush PB-11

                                                      Finally A Review Vega Buffer Brush PB-11 :D 


So , Vega brushes , are very much common in India , almost every Indian girl must have at least one Vega makeup brush , i have seen alot of reviews on Vega singles ( mostly on Angular brush , which is indeed great for lining eyes ) , or brush sets , i too have a few of them , although yea being cheap they are really harsh on skin ,but still . 


So i recently discovered that there was a Professional range of Vega brushes , but they were pretty expensive , and after having a bad experience with the normal range brushes , one had to go deep in it , but i found no reviews on professional ones , although i somehow believed that they won't be that bad , but taking chances for brushes which costs around Rs. 500 - 600 each  , i would consider getting some recommendations 1st . 


And as my recent haul is from Violet Bag is all about Vega professional brushes , i thought of doing a review on them . 


 Vega Make Up Professional Buffer Brush PB-11 

Isn't it Gorgeous ????  <3

MY First Reaction - I Like It? I just LOVE this brush alot!!! This is my very 1st stipple brush , i don't have much experience with good face brushes and especially the stippling brushes so this probably is my only experience so i might not sync with everyone . 
I haven't used any of the mac's , sigma's , or any other makeup brushes as my budget isn't that high (but i am definitely going to buy some sigma brushes at least am gonna get the flat top synthetic kabuki f80 , which is a must must have , as i have heard a lotssssss of good things about it ) , so i don't know about that and ya i don't like to compare anything with mac . 

This brush is extremely soft , like really really soft . This is a duo fibre brush , which is like really great for applying foundation , powder , blending in . It gives a very light weight coverage as the brush isn't that dense so it does not pick up too much amount of product , which is great for giving you a right amount of coverage , not at all cakey . 


As claimed on the website - A large, full circular brush used for light weight application and blending of face powder or pigments used to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres.
I agree with that , it is indeed a great brush . I got this from violetbag you can see my shopping experience from vb Here .

Actual price of this buffer brush is Rs. 600 , and i got it from VB at Rs. 510 . The rates have been revised though .


It is just so soft that when i got it , for at least one week i used to touch it and swirl it on my face daily , just to feel its softness :D :D 
I would definitely suggest buying this brush , i won't compare to mac , but sigma has a duo fibre for $16 plus shipping charges to India would be atleast $5 , that would round up to somewhere near Rs.1000 or Rs.1050  , so i personally would first go for Rs. 510 as i am a newbie , i won't comment on the quality difference as i haven't use sigma brushes yet . 

A closer look

What I Don't like  - As i had used the brush for applying foundation , although it wasn't that dirty but still it is always recommended to wash the brushes before use which i didn't , so i thought now that i have used it 2 3 times i should wash them , but don't know why after washing it , the bristles / hairs have become frizzy , i mean it's like on our own hair, we have split ends and when they are frizzy , they get all curled up and weird , just something like that . Also the grip of the bristles of this brush was really thick and tight , but after i washed it , it has loosen up and also the thickness of the brush has reduced .


Disappointed in Vega - Vega din't do it's job perfectly , undone finishing , particular product's name and details are not mentioned on the packaging . 


Would i recommend buying ? - I am a little confused , it has loosen up a little but it still works fine for me. I still love this brush , and am using it till now and i have no complains , but ya i would still say try sigma or mac , if you can afford , but at this price it is not bad at all , see your preferences . 


OMG!!!!! Guys there's an amazing offer at sigma , they are having a free worldwide free shipping for just tomorrow , awwweeeesooommmmmeeeee............... :D :D , the offer is valid for one day (i.e. tomorrow) , starts 9:00 am to 5:00 pm US CST . M planning on getting the flat top synthetic kabuki f80 , fingers crossed X :) . Buy some here .

Violetbag.com Review/Unboxing

                                            My Violetbag package arrived in a Day <3


Ok so how did i end up with violet bag , i don't really remember exactly but i guess i was looking for online stores for make-up and stuff , and i found that, just a few days back. And the first thing i liked about them was they had vega professional brushes in stock , i mean all of them .


So before i start unboxing , i would like to talk about violetbag.com , 


1st I was interested in being their affiliate partners but they din't have anything goin on , so they asked me to do a review on violetbag.com and offered me to shop for Rs. 1000 for free , and i was so so happy, and it pumped me up to buy , but yea its not gonna effect my review , no matter what but whichever review i have done are my honest opinion and i'll continue to do that .


2nd Their customer services are awesome , really really good. I mean i really din't expexted it , i got pretty nice response from their side regarding everything , including the delivery >>  it was friday afternoon when i placed my order , and it generally takes from 3-5 business days , but i had a party to attend on sunday , so i requested them to if they could send me the stuff by Saturday , and guess what? They were so sweet to send by the next day , and i got it by Saturday evening . Was so so happy. 


3rd They don't provide any site wide discounts but their products are already discounted , and in comparison to urbantouch.com, cosmetix.in ,etc etc, their prices are the lowest . So i would prefer buying from violet bag . :)


4th They have a wide range of fragrances , cosmetics , skin care products , hair care products and personal care accessories . Although they don't have much variety in cosmetics brand , but they do have a great product range , i mean whatever brands they have , they've got every product available in stock . 
Their collection of fragrances are the best , they have all the high end perfumes from D&G to Hugo Boss to Paris Hilton , Tommy Hilfiger , Calvin Klein and so many more .  


5th They offer Free Shipping on all orders above Rs.250 , which is not that bad at all , and if you order is below Rs. 250 you just have to pay Rs. 50 shipping charges , otherwise not .


Ok So lets Start UNBOXING , yayyyy... :D


BTW , I had no problem in tracking : )


The package was nicely delivered , no damage , nothing broken inside/outside .I was just too excited to unbox it , as it arrived so soon and i could use the brushes for the party , it was free :D , although my order was a lil more than Rs. 1000 , and i paid just that only (i.e.Rs.199) , and lastly , i was taking photos side by side for my blog :) . 

Cute VIOLET box :D

 Although the box was  just a lil damaged but , nothing to be worried about . 

CUTE Right ? :D 
Those cute lil Styrofoam cubes , there are lots of them :P . Anyways the brushes were altogether bubble wrapped  , and was safely tucked in these tiny Styrofoam cubes <3 . 

Nicely Wrapped

OMG! I love the Buffer/Stipple Brush :D :D
