Review: Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Brushes




So following on from my January's Wishlist post, I did manage to purchase this beautiful Limited 
Edition brush set by Real Techniques on feelunique. Anyone who follows enough beauty blogs would know about the Chapman sisters' fantastic range of brushes and their super affordable price tag.

There any so many reviews on this collection and I may be a bit late on writing about them, but they've been a permanent addition to my make-up routine since I bought them so I thought I would put my two cents in and show you guys my love for them. I hope you liked it!



What i liked
✓ Very affordable
✓ Pretty to look at! And big enough so they don't get lost in a big pot of brushes (ahem ecotools, pick up your game)
✓ All 3 brushes pick up product, from illuminating powder to cream eyeshadow, absolutely perfectly. I have a few blushes that are very pigmented and often hard to apply but when im using the contour brush, I never seem to fail.
✓ They don't need washing too often. It'a a weird thing to like about them and I may get judged for saying this as I know brushes are meant to be washed weekly or fortnightly. But to be honest, when im busy, cleaning brushes in my free time is not what I want to do and these brushes, especially the eye brush, never desperately need a wash - yay for the duo fiber! 

What i didn't like
Absolutely nothing.

My verdict: 5/5 - I can't fault them! So hurry up and get yours now.

Feel free to comment below about you're thoughts on this collection!

January Wants



There's a couple of things I didn't manage to find in the US so the most important have been added to my January Wantlist. There's nothing particular surprising on the list so it's not very exciting but if there are more suggestions that you guys may have please leave a comment below!



1. Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Brushes -Pretty self-explanatory for anyone who is, like me, obsessed with this amazing brand of brushes. I've heard so much about this limited edition set, I just need to get my hands on them!

2. New Look Black Quilted High Leg Biker Boots - I'm currently obsessed with finding a nice pair of high boots as I may be leaving sunny Australia in February to brace to European winter. I don't really want to spend too much as they wont get much use at home so I thought these were perfect!

3. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - An oldie but a goodie that I've never been able to try out as I am struggling to find a retailer that ships internationally at a reasonable price - grr!

4. Mayfair Lane Gel Effect Polish - Estée from Essie Button has mentioned these polishes a few times in her videos and I thought this shade was perfect for summer. I don't own a gel-like polish but I never have to time to top coat so this should hopefully help me in times of need!

5. Elf Conouring Blush & Bronzing Powder - Both St. Lucia and Antigua are beautiful shades so I'm thinking about purchasing both as they are super affordable and perfect size to pop in a purse!
