Real Techniques Haul | Core Collection and Starter Set
Friday, December 09, 2016
Hey all, Today's post is about something that I am incredibly
excited about because I got this purchase for a real bargain!
My Pretty Face Place is a company based in America but they
are selling products including real techniques brushes for such great prices, I
have just brought the Real Techniques core collection and the starter kit for a
combined price of £15.68 as when I brought them My Pretty Face Place had 20%
off everything on their site add this to the voucher code which I got off
cosmetics crave which gave me a further 15% off on top of the discount that was
already running.
At first I was sceptical about how they had the brushes for
such a low price but once I saw that the company was on the Real Techniques
website having been listed as an international stockist my worries melted away.
(Just a side note you should always be careful about buying online, make sure
the site is reputable and also try to pay by credit card if possible as they
have better defences against fraud than a debit card does!)
This price is brilliant considering that just the core
collection retails at boots for £21.99 and at Superdrug for £20.99, it’s like
getting two for the price of one while still getting money off. The
International shipping is £6.39 so my whole order came to £22.07 which is
amazing! I was so excited to receive my purchases which according to My Pretty
Face Place should take from 1-3 weeks to arrive. The products arrived after two
weeks which I thought considering they came from Minneapolis was pretty
good.
I am incredibly happy with my purchases and think that they
are a brilliant addition to my collection. One thing I really loved about my
whole ordering experience with My Pretty Face Place is the little hand written
thank you I got at the end of my invoice which came with my purchases this
really make my day that they took the time to add the personal touch J
Now onto the products, I love the Real Techniques brushes
that I already have and let me tell you my new purchases have not been a
disappointment. Out of the Core Collection there is only one brush that I have
not used so far and that is the detailer brush although I think that it would
be great to use it to apply lip products, to give precision when converting up
blemishes and also to get a more natural brow look.
I have used all of the other three brushes and I really love
them they have become a part of my every day routine, I use the buffing brush
to blend in my foundation after I have applied it with my Real Techniques
Stippling Brush. With the pointed foundation brush I feel that it is too small
to use it to actually apply foundation with so I use it to blend in concealer
around my eyes and nose areas. Finally I use the contour brush as it was
intended, let me tell you it is fantastic for the job it is intended for it
helps to define my cheek bones perfectly.
Now with the starter set it is something that I brought on a
whim because I was getting the other set of such a fantastic price I thought
why not buy the other too I am bound to use the brushes at some point, therefore
the fact that I am using them more than I expected is a bonus.
As with all Real Techniques brushes they are all incredibly
soft, I have only used two so far the base shadow brush and the deluxe crease
brush but I adore them. These brushes are great for applying my eye shadow,
what I love best about them is that they take just the right amount of powder
onto the brush no too much and just enough J
What I want to know is if you have any Real Techniques
brushes? If so which ones are you favourite and which do you recommend to be
the next one to be added to my collection?
Hope you all have a fantabulous day
