Review: Real Techniques Sam's Picks Brush Set

Hello beauties, I hope your week has been ok. Once again, my week has been really busy and I always feel really tired when I get home from work. But on the plus side, it has been really sunny here in Latvia which makes me happy.

I love having lots of different brushes to use for my makeup as this means I can skip washing my brushes during the week. Using clean brushes when applying makeup is very important if you do not want to get any bacteria on your face as well as avoid unnecessary dirt. If like me you have acne prone skin, then it is even more important you use clean brushes. 

I wanted to try Real Techniques brushes for a long time but didn't want to spend €24, so when I remembered about iherb,  I finally made my order. 

The brushes come in a thin plastic package and have a description of all the brushes on the back as well as on the brushes themselves. So if you are new to using brushes and do not know which brush is used for what, this is very handy. The handles of Real Techniques brushes are colour coded: base brushes (yellow), eye brushes (purple) and finish brushes (pink). I find that this set is great if you want to try out different brushes as you get 2 of each type. This set includes: multi-task brush, setting brush, buffing brush, pointed foundation brush, crease brush and fine liner brush.

The brushes are made of soft synthetic fibre which is 100% cruelty free. The handles of the brushes are long and comfortable for use. The brushes were clean and looked as good as new. I use the buffing brush for applying my foundation and found that it doesn't absorb the product which makes it remain soft and fluffy even after multiple uses. I put the brushes to my washing test and am so glad to say they didn't shed or fall out. 

This set was on discount at a price of $30 excluding shipping which is $4, plus I got $10 off my order as it was my first and over $40. Bringing my total order to $32 for 2 items. AMAZING! To prove the price difference: the starter set and core collection cost $18 on iherb which is approximately €13 in comparison to the €24 it costs here {total bargain!}.

I think the brushes are absolutely amazing and cannot wait to get the other 2 sets and other RT brushes. The quality is great and you can save some money if you purchase them with a discount.
