Makeup Brushes Have Arrived!

So I thought since I want to start getting in beauty more i should invest in a make-up essential; make-up brushes. I seen rave after rave about Real Techniques brushes and have even gone into shops and looked at them, but since I don't have a ton of money and beauty isn't the most important thing priority wise at the moment I couldn't justify forking out that amount for each brush, however much I wanted to. So I scavenged around website such as ELF, but found myself in the end on eBay! Surprisingly I found this great  company that sell make-up brushes at an incredibly cheap price range; admittedly they come from Hong Kong so they take a while to get to you but with FREE p+p why the hell not?! 

I got this pack of 5 brushes for £12.39 which is an absolute steal in my opinion. In this set I got: a blush brush, a stippling brush, an angled foundation brush, a buffing brush and a flat powder brush (these brushes didn't come under these names, or with any names at all so this is just my interpretation). 

I only got these today so have not had a chance to use all of them yet however I have tried out the buffing brush and it works great, they are all artificial bristles so are not real hair; this allows you to use less product as it does not get absorbed by the brush. Theses brushes are very soft and smooth on your face, which I'm guessing would be good to use on sensitive skin as well (I don't have that sensitive skin). The handles are nice to hold in use and also allow you to stand them when not in use so they don't get damaged. 


Overall I think these brushes are a bargain for the money paid and do the job really well. As a novice with anything make-up brushy these have made a good first impression and I'm glad that these were my first investment.
