Hello!

So back in November I went to London with my family for my birthday weekend.  It was my first time there and I loved it as much as i thought i would.
 I passed a lot of Superdrugs and Boots and other beauty shops whilst gallivanting around London and as it was the Festive season there was obviously a lot of great deals with gifts and beauty products.
My lovely mam bought the limited edition set of Real Technique brushes for me. The brushes were £20 in Superdrug at the time, so I'm not sure how much they are now. In Boots they're currently €45.

What's included:

A duo-fiber powder brush,
A powder brush (set exclusive)
Angled shadow brush (set exclusive)
Base Shadow brush
Eye-liner brush (set exclusive)

Duo-fiber Face Brush: The brush is used for lightweight application and applying powders. The bristles are super soft and it gives you a really natural, light-washed finish. I really like using this brush compared to say, make-up pads as it gives you that "I'm wearing make-up but it doesn't actually look like I have make-up on" kind of look.
Cheek Brush: This brush is for blusher and contouring. The brush is not as wide as other blusher brushes which means you can define pretty well.
Angled Shadow Brush: The angle of the brush allows you to get in at the crease of your eye lid. Its also good for precise product placement.
Base Shadow Brush: Obviously its for your base eye shadow. Its a nice size and doesn't leave any lines, it applies a smooth and flawless block of colour
Eye-Liner Brush: For use with gel pots, it applies quite a thick line of colour, but its good for getting in at the lash line.

Overall I'm not one for wearing make-up, I just wear it if I'm going out or for work  so I haven't got any other make-up brushes besides these. This pack of brushes literally do everything which needs to be done and that's why I like them. They look attractive and they do the job well, no complaints from me whatsoever. I am genuinely not joking, they have changed my life for the better. ;)
