Sigma Lip Set in "Sealed With A Kiss"

I have heard so much about Sigma Beauty throughout the years but never pulled the trigger on making a purchase, until now. If you haven't heard of Sigma before they are an online beauty company, that provides beauty enthusiasts with the latest innovations in cosmetics, makeup brushes, and brush care accessories. There mission is to innovate beauty.

Nordstrom is now caring Sigma Beauty online and I decided to purchase the new Lip Kits that are currently available for purchase. These kits are limited edition and have a value of $71, however they retail for $49. This is the second lip kit I purchased. 

What it it:

The Sealed with a Kiss Lip Set is a curated collection of wearable neutrals that can be mixed and matched for a variety of looks and finishes. Create a matte look with Carnation Power Liner or go full-shine with Seal of Approval Lip Eclipse. Combine any or all of the products for a custom pout that is perfectly you.

 Included:

• Nancy Power Lipstick
• Signed, Sealed Power Lip Crayon
• Seal of Approval Lip Eclipse
• Carnation Power Lip Liner 

Swatches:

Colors from L-R: Nancy, Signed,Sealed, Seal of Approval, and Carnation

Verdict: I'm in love. First off, I appreciated the fact that Sigma sent the actually products with boxes. I don't like when companies package gift sets with tissue paper. The pigmentation on these lip products was stellar and the application was so smooth. The lipstick and lip liner were big hits for me. I'm pretty excited to test out some other beauty products from Sigma.

The pigmentation on these lip products was stellar and the application was so smooth. The lipstick and lip liner were big hits for me. The only product I wasn't the biggest fan of was the lipgloss. The formula didn't apply that well on my lips.  I'm pretty excited to test out some other beauty products from Sigma.
