My Experience with b2nshop.com (BlancIINoir)

Best Site to Shop NYX, Sigma brushes and make up, Facefront Cosmetics, etc

I have bought NYX stuff from Porkdaisy before..and loved the site..but with time they added handling fee, tax and increased the shipping cost too..which made the product cost come to more than what we get here 🙁 Then there is Cherry Culture which has always got mixed reviews..but I have heard so many complaints that the parcels were lost..and they never got the parcel nor the money refunded..And there also is Beauty Joint which did the same..plus even they add handling fee separately.

Finally after discovering BlancIINoir..I am so glad..that here the prices are fine, there is no additional handling fee or tax and the shipping cost is reasonable too..plus it reaches in 2 weeks.

The shipping varies on the no. of products..increasing marginally..1 product- 5.28$, 2 products- 6.22$ but one 9$ Sigma brush has more than 10$ shipping..similar to the Sigma website..I thought it would be cheaper though..and this is the basic shipping option..without tracking..though I surely recommend this site for buying NYX stuff..coz with the discounts and the combined shipping, it still works out cheaper.

They also have additional 10% discount on buying above 50$ and free shipping above 100$ in the US..if you can team up with 2-3 of your friends..you can get NYX stuff at a much cheaper price as there are additional discounts which you can avail !

The package is a cardboard box with lots of white thermocol sponges inside..but the products inside are separate..I think these should have been more securely bubble wrapped..though they were not damaged..but just in case..

They have everything in stock from NYX including the glitter pigments, bronzers, brushes, make up kits to the very latest and newest additions..!

I got my parcel in 14 days time..and here is what I ordered..

Overall I totally recommend this site for buying NYX stuff..I am sure you will get confused as to what to get and what to leave..if you can tie up with your friends and get additional discounts ordering above 50$..that would be a bonanza !

P.S: I got a voucher to shop for but that has not affected my opinion of the site.

Sigma F45 Buffer Brush Review

Sigma F45 Buffer Brush Review

What the Company claims: What : Ideal to apply mineral foundation, loose or pressed powders. Also great to buff colors and obtain a soft, blended look. Natural bristles.

MRP: 19$

Its a small round black kabuki brush…so super handy and super soft..it fits in your palms…

I do not use sponges provided with compacts or pressed powders..I usually use such kabuki..I have one more from Oriflame Giordano..even thats super handy and super soft…but the hairs used are different and obviously the Sigma one is much softer. The powders never look cakey when used with a brush.

You can also it after your makeup just to blend the colors or harsh edges or lighten the colors or shimmers….clean any fall outs..you can use it in so many ways.

Overall I quite love it..it does not loose its shape after washing..the only problem is it does shed hair on being washed..and as its dense takes some time to dry but otherwise its quiet nice and a soft treat to skin.

If you want one..you can win it here.

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Sigma E25 Blending Brush Review

Sigma E25 Blending Brush Review


What the Company claims : Oval-shaped brush with gently chiseled sides. Blends and softens the look of powder or cream shadows. Ideal to apply eye shadow primer, base eye shadow colors, and blend harsh lines.

MRP: 9$ (for a full sized brush) (Approx Rs. 440/-)

This is the travel sized brush but both are same in terms of bristles and quality. Now this brush is like perfect for blending eye shadows ! Blending is like a dream with this brush…super easy.

This is supposedly the dupe for MAC 217 brush which costs Rs. 1450/- or 22.50$ and this is like 1/3rd the price..check out Product rater’s detailed comparision here

The best part is anything you order from Sigma above 30$ you get this travel sized brush free..and you just cannot have enough of this..so it is surely a good deal.

Since this is travel sized and fits easily in my palm…I can easily carry it along with me wherever I go.

For comparision

I liked the way bristles are shaped. Its quiet dense and are nicely packed. I am using this from the last 5-6 months and have washed it many times too…this did not shed hair or loose its shape.

It also works for highlighting your cheeks and bridge of the nose,etc..This is a must have brush for sure !

You can buy it here and do check out other Sigma brushes too. If you buy stuff worth 30$ you can get this free.
