Tapered Blush Brush | Bold Metals Collection by Real Techniques

The Real Techniques brushes are one of my all-time favourites brushes to use and are my daily go-to brushes. Simply brilliant quality. So when they released the Bold Metals Collection, Sam & Nic Chapman of Pixiwoos' new line of luxury makeup brushes, I was aching to get my hands on them. The Bold Metals Collection consists of 7 brushes for different functions, all made with incredibly soft synthetic bristles (even softer than the original RT line) with premium quality metallic ferrules/handles that give the brush a good 'weighty' feel. The Gold handles are for bases, Platinum for eyes and Rose Gold for finishes.

Real Techniques Brushes - Core Collection

Real Techniques Core Collection

Ever since I purchased my first Real Techniques brush, the Blush brush, I was completely hooked...as do all those who have tried these wonderful brushes out! I now own quite a few of the brushes in the Real Techniques range, but today's post is on their Core Collection set.

Real Techniques Blush Brush

Right...So I've FINALLY jumped on the Real Techniques bandwagon! I see what everyone's raving about now and my goodness...am I in love! I was actually waiting to see if Boots were going to do another 3 for 2 offer on the brushes but so far it hasn't happened yet so I decided to only pick up the blush brush for the time being. I will DEFINITELY be getting the other brushes though that's fo' sho! This blush brush is great for contouring and defining the cheeks, as well as blending out the product flawlessly. I've been reaching for this pretty much every day since I started using it, because I love the result it gives my cheeks. The bristles are ultra-soft...when I used this for the first time I did a little "ahhhhhh....mmmm...." moment because of how soft it is! The bristles are also synthetic so product stays on the surface and does not seep into the bristles so you use up less product. I also love that the Real Techniques brushes are self-standing which is quite a handy way to store the brush. Overall, VERY IMPRESSED with Real Techniques! I can't wait to try out the other brushes... they're already on my wishlist :)

I'm now a Sigma Affiliate! - Sigma F80 Brush and Grasp Eyeshadow Review

I was contacted some time last month by the lovely Vincy at Sigma to see if I was interested in joining the Sigma Affiliate program, and of course I said yes! The program was something I had always been contemplating since I first started my blog. I think Sigma brushes are really great quality and affordable - majority of my make up brushes are actually from Sigma come to think of it! As a welcome gift, Vincy sent me a lovely little Sigma gift...if you'd like to read about my thoughts on it then please do continue reading :)
