New make up brushes! Ebay real technique dupes!

Hello hello!

So a few weeks ago I picked up a couple of Real Techniques brushes and i did like them. I was considering picking up the Core Collection but couldn't really justify the price. Whilst I was online browsing reviews to see if it would be worth it I came across a post about some dupe real technique make up brushes available off eBay. And then I googled dupe real technique brushes and read a few good reviews. Got myself on eBay and aftering a bit of umming and arring and tok the plunge and purchased 3 of the brushes. 

The seller I went with was bg4acf and I got my package in 2 weeks - whichis bloody amaxing considering it came from Hong Kong. Postange and packaging was free, and the brushes were £1.87 each. Yes, £1.87! I went with the brushes 01, 02 and 04. (OMG I just checked eBay and they are only £1.84 now lol)

I washed them before I used them and they washed and dried well. I used the stipple brush to put on foundation and I liked it - not super dense but dense enough to make application smooth and easy. I used the contour brush to...contour (perfect size), really nice quality. The other brush is like the expert face brush which I already have but I did dab it around my face to give it a bit of a road test and I like it - none of them are scratchy by the way, and I've not noticed any shedding.

I cannot believe the price I paid and would recommend it - tempted to get even more just for the sake of it!

Real Techniques: blush brush and expert face brush

Hi Guys!

Quite obvious from the title and picture but I finally got myself a couple f real technique make up brushes!

Boots had a buy one get one half price deal going on so I grabbed these two. I wanted the core collection set but I think I'll put that on my birthday/xmas wish list :)

I've been having problems with my foundation (revlon colorstay) - I'm finding it so dry and hard to apply, so I thought I'd give the expert face brush a try since everyone raves about it so much. How is it? It's ok. I think it's amazing for the price but if I won the lottery, I would definitely give other brushes a go - this is not my holy grail. I must say that I love the actual brush style/shape(?) - I've used either a traditional foundation brush and stippling brush to apply liquid foundation (on a day to day basis I prefer my fingers) but I do like this rounded/flat (can it be both?) brush.

Ok - so blush brush - to be honest I kinda picked this cos I wanted something of a similar price to make the most of the deal. I've used it everyday since I got it probbaly more out of the novelty of having something new and because by coincidence my mum gave me a blush palette (post to follow).

I gotta say this though - best thing about these brushes - drying time!!! I've had these 6 days and I've washed these 3 times because it's so easy and they dry so so so quick!!! And no shedding. Very impressive.
