CHRISTMAS: Real Techniques

Real Techniques is without a doubt my favourite make up brush brand. I've followed the Pixiwoo girls on YouTube for as long as I can remember. And as soon as I heard that they were releasing their own make up brushes, I knew that I had to have them. I immediately ran out and picked up the Stippling Brush and for a long time now, I've had my eye on their Core Collection*.
 This set retails for just £21.99 which isn't a lot at all as you're getting 4 brushes. This works out at around £5.50 per brush. The stand that the brushes comes with is so beautiful and it now houses my Stippling Brush, my Liz Earle Brow and Lash brush and my tweezers too. I also stayed at a friends house the other day and I was able to fasten the stand up and create a little bag which makes travelling with the brushes so easy. In this collection you get the Buffing Brush. This brush really is the gem of the Real Techniques brushes. It applies liquid foundation so perfectly and it makes application fool proof. You also get the Detailer Brush which I use for applying lipstick as it's really tiny and it allows you to get a perfect finish. The Pointed Foundation Brush is what I use to buff my concealer in with as I think it's a little bit small for foundation but the perfect size for concealer. And finally, you get a Contour Brush which for me, is a lifesaver. I'm someone who has always found applying contour to my cheeks hard but this brush makes it so unbelievably easy. All the brushes come with ultra-plush taklon bristles which leave you with high-definition results.
Currently in Boots, all make up and make up accessories are on offer for buy one get the 2nd half price! I'd highly, highly recommend these brushes for people who are starting out in make up or even those who are professionals. They give you great results at a great price. And one of the best things about these brushes? The fact that you can watch the Pixiwoo girls bring them to life in front of your eyes on YouTube!
