My Make-up brush Collection/Review

Hello Everybody!!


I have slowly been adding to my collection of Real Techniques make-up brushes (created by Youtuber sisters Sam Chapman and Nicola Haste otherwise known as Pixiwoo)I have been using them for quite a while now so I thought it would the perfect opportunity to show them to you and do a little review at the same time!

 The first brush in my collection is the "Expert Face Brush" (£5.85) and was the first ever Real Techniques brush that I'd ever bought. This brush is what made me fall in love with the brushes from this range because it was literally the best brush that I had ever used on my face! it blends soo good!! I also love the fact that the hairs on the brush are synthetic as many brushes are made form hose hair which I am allergic to. These brushes don't make your make-up look cakey or streaky, the don't leave hair all over your face and they are literally the softest brushes that I have ever felt!!

Next I bought 2 brush sets and two single brushes. The first brush set was the "Core Collection" (£11.71) this set consists of a Detailer Brush, Pointed Foundation Brush, Buffing Brush and a contour brush. The second set was the "Starter Set" (£11.71) this set included a Base Shadow Brush, Deluxe Crease Brush, Fine Liner Brush and a Brow Brush.I then bought a Stippling Brush (£6.50) and a Lash/Brow Groomer (£3.90). I use the Buffer Brush or the Stippling Brush for applying my foundation, the Deluxe Crease Brush for blinding my concealer, the Base Shadow Brush for applying my second eyelid colour, the Lash/Brow Groomer for coming my eyebrow pencil through and the  Fine Liner Brush for lining my lips.

On my next shopping spree I came across the "Nicks Picks" range and just fell in love with how they looked and I heard that they were limited addition so I had to grab them while I could. This set included a Base Shadow Brush, Cheek Brush, Duo Fibre Face Brush, Eye Liner Brush and an Angled Shadow Brush. I use the Base Shadow Brush to apply my first eyelid colour, the Cheek Brush obviously for my blusher, the Duo Fibre face brush for applying my hi light, the Eye Liner brush for smudging out my eye liner under the waterline and the Angled Shadow Brush for blending eye-shadow through the crease . This set costs £19.51.

I then bought the Powder Brush (£6.50) which I use for applying my contour bronzer or my face powder.

Last but not least, my favourite brush is the Real Techniques "301" brush from their "Bold Metals" range (£16.91) This brush is honestly the most beautiful brush I have EVER seen and I also you this for contouring.

I have been using these brushes a lot and they are the main brushes in my collection other than brushes that have come with pallets or ones that I have been given for Christmas and birthdays. Although they are quite expensive that are waayy worth the money and are extremely good quality as well as doing an excellent job at blending. They are also very easy to clean (if done properly) and don't take long to dry after cleaning at all! they also don't leave hairs all over your face which is always good. In my opinion if you want you make up to look professional (which I am not) then you have to have the right tools for the job so it really is worth investing in good quality make up brushes. I feel as though these brushes truly live up to the hype and I would recommend them to anyone!!

Mac Haul!!

Hello Everyone!!

I went to Mac recently and bought a few things so I thought I would do a haul.

The first product that I bought is the veluxe pearlescent eye shadow which is called "copper Luxe".It has two shades of brown, one with glitter and the other is shimmery, one gold shade and two nudey pink shades, one of which is also glittery.

 I saw this next product and instantly fell in love with the packaging as well as the product of course ;). It is from the "Wash and Dry" range and is a bronzer called " Refined Golden". This bronzer is a very warm shade with lots of little flecks of gold glitter so how could I resist buying it!

This next product is a tester that I got given at the checkout and I cannot wait to try This. It is a mascara called "False Lash Extreme Black" Also I love the fact that the bristles are real because I HATE plastic mascara wands I don't  think they give as nice of a finish as real ones do!

 Next is a lip liner, I bought this just because I needed one that matched one of the lipsticks that I bought. The shade of this liner is "Edge to Edge".

 Finally I bought two lipsticks. I really love how Kylie Jenner does her make up so I wanted to buy a nude lipstick similar to the one that she wears and luckily I found one! It is called "Yash" and it is matte and a warm nude colour with an orangey undertone. The next one is a nudey pink colour which is also matte and this is the lipstick that matches the lip liner. This lipstick is called "Please me".

 So! That is everything I bought, if you would like to see swatches, reviews or make up looks using these products or even any questions or suggestions then feel free to leave a comment below!
