Hello again my sweets,
Last week I went into town to buy myself a new power brush because my old HnM one has seen better days!
I went into boots and had a look around to see when one looked the best/was the best price! There were some really lovely looking vintage ones which looked nice however I hadn't heard of the brand and they were quite pricey! So when I was looking this lovely limited edition set from Real Technique caught my eye :)
I keep my make-up brushes in this really cute flower pot that I bought in the Laura Ashley sale, I have started buying little things like this for my university room and once I have everything and moved in I will be doing a Uni Room update post :)
Now onto the brush review, as I mentioned I originally wanted a power brush but I have also been looking for a under eye setting brush which I thought the eye brush would be perfect for and the contour was just a lovely extra :) Sam Chapman from Pixiwoo who makes these brushes must put so much effect into very detail because even the packaging was beautiful! The brushes were set in a form base which had 'Real Techniques' all over it in glossy writing and on the back were information about each brush and a link to where you can watch tutorials on how to use them :) I would also like to mention that she has also kept the colour coordinating which appeals to my OCD on colours as the eye brush has purple writing to go with the eye set, face brush is orange to go with the face collection and the contour is red to go with the others :) so that I did love!
The brushes themselves are lovely, as they are duo-fiber they are really light and soft so they don't pick up masses of product which I like for these types of brushes. It means I can apply a thin layer when I want lower coverage but also build on the power when needed which I think is perfect! I haven't really been contouring a lot as I normally contour in the winter however I did the other day to test the brush and I really like it, its applies product evenly and blends beautifully!
Over all I love this set and to be honest knew I would because all the brushes I have tried from Real Technique have been amazing :) if you want some really nice power brushes I would recommend them and I'm so glad I bought these and added them to my collection :)
I love the way you take photos - and i finally need to get Real Techniques brushes.. I'm pretty ashamed I haven't already (as a blogger haha)!
