Real Techniques Brush Love

If you haven't heard of the Real Techniques Brushes by beauty YouTuber Samantha Chapman then you have probably been living under a rock.


Basically in case you don't know - the real techniques brushes were brought out by YouTuber Sam Chapman who runs a beauty channel with her sister Nikki here called Pixiwoo. If you haven't seen their channel check it out - they do some fab tutorials. 
I first started using their brushes when I brought the stippling brush which is the third brush from the right with the square top. There was a lot of hype online when I brought this brush about how good it was to put foundation on and to be honest it was the both the first brush I properly brought and the most I had spent on a make up brush. This is where my love spelled from. I next brought the Core Collection and Starter kit and then the blush brush and powder brush. 
These brushes are amazing. They dont shed hairs, they are so soft and lovely on the skin and they wash amazingly. Plus I would say they are affordable. The sets are about £21 but when you consider you get 4/5 brushes in them I would say that if fab. Plus you can pick them in Boots and sometimes they have 3 for 2 deals on them (like they do at the minute). 

My favorite real technique brushes have got to be the Buffing Brush which is the second brush in and comes as part of the core collection. I use it to buff in my foundation. You can get the expert face brush which I brought for my mum and is similar. I also like the deluxe crease brush which is the purple handled brush which looks crossed over. This to me is like a mini buff brush and I use it (like a lot of other bloggers/YouTubers) to buff in my concealer. 

I think that there may be some new brushes in the pipe line which I am excited to see.
