My Make-up Brush Collection | January 2015



Hello!
I thought I'd bring you a non fashion based post today and would instead show you my current Make-up brushes! It's probably a boring post for some but someone's bound to want to know what I use, My make-up would look the pits without them!

I use these everyday and they're my core collection, I used to use not one brush before that!

FACE BRUSHES




These brushes I use to apply Foundation, Concealer, Powder & Blush/Contour.

They are:

- Real Techniques Buffing Brush
- Real Techniques Pointed Foundation Brush
- Real Techniques Detailer Brush
- Real Techniques Contour Brush
- Models Own Powder Brush
- Models Own Foundation Brush

Since swapping from Models Own to Real Techniques brushes, The actual coverage & Blending of my foundation has improved so much.
I'm scouting for a nice powder brush to replace the Models Own one currently as this one isn't fluffy enough!

I use the detailer brush to apply concealer, especially when tidying my eyebrows after filling in and tidying up my eyeliner so it's a sharp point!

EYE & LIP BRUSHES



These brushes I use to apply Eyeshadow, Fill in my eyebrows & Line & fill my Lips.

They are:

-Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush
-Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush
-Real Techniques Pixel Point Eyeliner Brush
-Real Techniques Eyebrow Brush
-Real Techniques Accent Brush
-Models Own Angled Brush
-Models Own Blending Brush
-Models Own Base Eyeshadow Brush
-Models Own Lip Liner Brush

I Love this Starter Set of Real Techniques Eye Shadow Brushes! They're all really well made and apply perfectly. My favourite being the Crease brush, I haven't managed to create creases so cleanly before!

The Models own Lip Brush is my go to for any lip product, I travels with me and my favourite lipstick or lip liner and just applies my lip color so well and precisely. LOVE IT.

I'm about 60% sure my make-up brushes will grow soon enough but I thought I'd show where I'm at with them at the moment and let you know my favourites!

Whats your go to collection of brushes?

Then she uttered the magic words... 'Do you have any testers?..'
and like magic a huge box of mini his and that's appeared. I'm so shy when it comes to asking for little testers, I feel like i'm stealing them!

❤ Real Techniques Make-up Brushes | Where to find them Cheapest ❤

So today I bring you a momentous Blog Post, for I have found a great Deal on these Real Techniques Make Up Brushes, bought to us by the ever famous Pixiwoo Sisters on YouTube!

I had seen You-Tubers and Bloggers alike rave about these fantastic brushes and I pined over them so much! I needed to get myself some, trouble was they set you back a fair bit retailing at the around the £15-£18 mark for each set.

I instantly set to the internet to compare prices from different websites, You know me.. I'm kinda Cheap! I blame it on my Pops' frugal-ness! It's doing me well though!

I stumbled along an online Chemist, Called Gordons Direct that happened to be selling the brushes for an astonishingly cheap price! Of course, me being me I had to check that this wasn't a scam and went down hundreds of reviews from the business and IT WAS LEGIT!

Much to my happiness I found the entire collection which you can view and purchase HERE !!

I chose to get the Core Collection & The Eyes enhanced Starter Set. Both of which have actually dropped more in Price since I ordered last Friday! P&P Is £3 and they take around 5 Days to arrive to London from Ireland.

Here's some pictures for those curious on their condition!




The Core Collection Includes:

Detailer Brush
 Pointed Foundation Brush
 Buffing Brush
 Contour Brush




The Eye Enhancer Set Includes:

Base Shadow Brush
Deluxe Crease Brush
Accent Brush
Pixel Point Eyeliner Brush
Brow Brush


As you can see, all of the brushes are extremely plush and fluffy, Such good condition and worth how much I paid.

I feel like if I had paid more for these or RRP It would of been slightly disappointing..

Anyway, RUN MY PRETTIES! GET THEM WHILE THEY'RE SUPER CHEAP!

Love Love
