Had a chance to visit Sigma Beauty headquarters right here in Minneapolis. Jen and I was greeted by the super friendly Sigma team made us feel right at home there! I didnt take much photos there cause I forgot to ask if it was ok to take photos since they had some new and unreleased items so I opted not to take much photos, sorry guys :(
We have met with all of the Sigma team from customer service, packaging, warehouse team, designer, photographer, marketing team to the owners all in the headquarter. They are growing at a super fast rate that they are already expanding their headquarter to a larger building, you will see new and exciting items from Sigma soon! :)
We had a very nice talk over lunch at Loring Pasta bar in Dinkytown, I had the seafood spaghetti with squid ink pasta it was amazing~ if you are in Minneapolis you must go eat here!
Thank you so much for having me over to Sigma HQ, everyone there are super sweet and nice~ I am happy to see that there is so much passion and thought in your company that it really does reflect in your products!
Group shot with Sigma Minnesota nice team :)

ReplyDeleteYOU GUYS CAME TO MINNESOTA!? TT____TT
ReplyDeleteHello~! First of all thank you for the great opportunity to
ReplyDeletewin such an adorable price. I live in Europe, so you can't purchase Sigma
brushes that easily, unfortunately. *sob* *sob*
I discovered your blog a while ago, and every week I
'stalked' your blog to see if there were any updates. But when I saw this
giveaway I finally made the decision to be your permanent blog follower ^^ Yay!
In the first time, your blog blew me away! The layout, the contents,
the reviews. (I'm a big fan of your Japanese Kit Kat review!) Everything is so well organized, and the most important of
all, they are FUN to read.
I am an art student in Amsterdam/Europe, and I can
see how much effort you put in the pictures every time you made for your blog.
*happy tears* I love your honesty, generosity and cuteness (overload). And
the details in every single review are truly incredible!
Please keep it up!
d(^0^)b *thumps up*

ReplyDeleteoh :( I come late! >.<
ReplyDeleteSigma definitely have come a long way. I remember when they were starting. Enkore did a thorough review on their makeup brushes and it was such a big hit on youtube. It's so cool that you got to visit their headquarters and look at all the goodies :)
