Real Techniques Brushes: Powder Brush and Setting Brush

Since starting college I have realised that you really need to be able to be independent. You get a lot more freedom in college and you have to work off your own back, no more being spoon fed and no more being a little sheep. You get the chance to choose what you want to do and where you want to take yourself. Although you may keep some friends it is really a time where you become separate from the little group you are comfortable with, it's sort of like being chucked in the middle of the ocean; you have to find your own way around. It's quite disorientating and you do find yourself looking to stay in your comfort zone, but now is the time to step out of that and find what you really enjoy. People are a lot more diverse in college and there are many types of people that may not have been in your secondary school, you can find people who are really interested in the same things as you, where as before I felt like I had to fit in. 

So in my last post I said how I hoped getting into the college routine would help me blog more regularly but I guess that didn't work out like I'd hoped. I think I'm going to need to organise myself slightly better, tut tut Beth.

Anyway, I've naughtily allowed myself to buy quite a lot of stuff lately (look forward to a haul post!) and I thought, to justify it all to myself, I would show you lot what I got, obviously. Starting with my first ever Real Techniques Brushes!!

I was soo excited when these arrived, I had waited for ages because when I bought them I didn't realise they were coming from Minneapolis USA, oops. But they finally arrived and I am so pleased with them, they are incredibly soft and such good quality. I haven't got around to using the setting brush yet but the powder brush is amazing, it picks up a perfect amount of product and is just a delightful addition to my everyday routine. 

These brushes have a great reputation and I am so happy to have finally added some to my collection, I have definitely got my eyes on grabbing some more, oh no! I got these particular brushes off of a website called myprettyfaceplace.com, it is such a good site for bargains, they also sell e.l.f and NYX products so pop on over. 

 I got the powder brush for just £6.31 that's a saving of £6.68, under half price!

I got the setting brush for just £5.04 saving £3.95! 

In case you're interested the Starter Kit, Travel Essentials Kit, Core Collection and also the limited edition Duo Fibre Collection are for sale on there too.

I just wanted to add that on the order details page that comes with the package they wrote a note and I thought it was really cute! It was hand written which means I guess they do it on all of them but I love how they put the effort in to add that personal touch.

I hope you enjoyed my post and don't forget to pop over to my Bloglovin' and follow my blog for updates.

P.S sorry about using flash in all the photos, it's getting darker now and with a busy college schedule and work on the weekends it's hard to fit in picture taking when there's nice natural light :(
