Little Brush Update....

Hello Everyone, 

Hope you are all having a good Monday. This is just a very quick update (before I get kids from school) about the two new Real Techniques Brushes I bought on Saturday. I have used them both twice now & I have to say they are just as amazing as all the other Real Techniques Brushes I own.

Firstly, the Stippling Brush gave me a flawless foundation application which looked really good & I was very pleased with. It seemed to help blend my foundation even better than the Real Techniques Foundation Brush that I used before.

Secondly, The Blush Brush is ever so lovely and soft! I adore the feel of this brush on my face its so fluffy! as for its use with applying blusher, I honestly found it to be a little on the large side & it covered a bit too much of my cheeks in  blusher....So I found a better use for it, I have been using it to apply my powder. Due to its large size I find the application of powder to be very quick and simple. 

In conclusion, I love both of these Brushes. Not just because they are super soft and come in a pretty colour, but also beacuse they are so versatile!

Do you own any Real Techniques Brushes? Which one is your favourite? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts or any little tips youve got!

 Hope you enjoyed reading this!

Treated Myself...

Hello Lovelies,

Following on from my first post about my love for Real Techniques Make up Brushes, I have purchased two more lovely soft brushes. Whilst in my local Superdrug buying some more concealer & powder, I noticed they had an offer on Real Techniques....as well as a 3 for 2 on makeup! I happily pay full price for these brushes, so when I noticed that they were on a 'buy one get 2nd half price' deal, I thought it would be rude not to take up this offer! Both brushes were around £10 each, but with the offer I got them both for around £15, which in my opinion is a great saving on some very good quality brushes!

So, I am now the proud owner of the 'Stippling Brush & the 'Blush Brush! 

Stippling Brush: Dual fiber Stippling Brush is the trade secret for creating high definition,airbrushed results with all types of make up. 

Blush Brush: Blush Brush is hand-cut to contour and define cheeks for flawlessly blended high definition results.

I am yet to try these brushes out, it is top of my to do list today & once I do I shall update you on my first impressions!

Thanks for reading!

Tools Of The Trade!

Hello Fellow Beauty Bloggers!

This is my very first post & I have decided the best way to start, would be to introduce you to my little babies....no, not my actual Children, I mean my Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Make-Up Brushes! These brushes have Synthetic Bristles and are really soft on your skin. I personally have noticed a difference in how my make up looks on my face since using these brushes.

These are a fairly new purchase, I have had them for about a month & I honestly don't know how I have survived my make up wearing life without them! Admittedly, I haven't tried a vast majority of other branded Make Up brushes, as I have always used my hands to apply my foundation and concealer..BUT these brushes have converted me completely! 

Once I have applied Primer and moisturiser to a freshly washed face, I then use the Real Techniques Foundation Brush to apply my Foundation. I find this brush gives me flawless looking Foundation & in my opinion, it makes the application much easier with no messy hands to wash afterwards, bonus! 

Next, its time to conceal my awful dark circles under my eyes! My dark circles are the bane of my life & I am an absolute perfectionist when it comes to applying my concealer! I use my Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush to blend my concealer. I am aware that this isn't the "correct" brush to use, but I personally find it the best one for me!

I then like to set my foundation and Concealer. I use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply my chosen powder. 

Once my make up is set, I then like to tackle my stupidly thin & light coloured Eyebrows...long story short, bad genes! I use my Real Techniques Brow Brush with an eyebrow powder to darken my eyebrows & make them a little bit thicker. I love this little brush, I find my eyebrows look more natural and look less drawn on. 

After the eyebrows are in place, I use my Real Techniques Contour Brush to apply some blusher (next purchase is a Real Techniques Blush Brush) Blusher is a must when you have been blessed with lovely pale Scottish skin...thanks Dad! 

This is just a guide to the brushes I use on a daily bases. Depending on the Day/Occasion, I do use the Pointed Pixel Eye Liner Brush, Accent Brush & the Deluxe Crease Brush if I want to apply Eye Make-Up.
