If you're a long time reader I'm sure you'll know about my love for the Real Techniques brushes. The original line was launched in 2011 by the dream team, Pixiwoo - amazing makeup artists and genuinely lovely girls. They really were the first affordable brush brand in the UK that didn't compromise quality over price. I recommend them to everyone and now most my friends (and my mum) use them daily.
When I heard about the new Bold Metals Collection I was seriously excited. The new collection is an extension of the original line, but slightly more premium for those with a bit of extra budget. The collection is split into three bold metallic shades, gold, rose gold and silver. Each brush has been hand cut with ultra-plush and shed-resistant synthetic bristles, but they feel so incredibly soft almost like it's natural hair. I love the handle on the brushes, they are beautifully made and cut so that they don't roll off a surface when laid down. They also fit nicely in a pot, which is handy if you store your makeup brushes like I do. They're weighted so that when you use them they sit naturally in the hand and seriously make you feel like a pro makeup artist.
The prices range from £22 to £25 and even £25 for the Arched Powder Brush is a really good price for the high quality you get. I really love these brushes and it's nice to have more options to pick from in the Real Techniques family.
These brushes (exclusive to Boots) launch officially at the end of the month and sadly as I'll be away I won't be able to make the launch party. BUT I was wondering if any of you would like to go in my place? The event is taking place in the gorgeous Mondrian Hotel in London on the evening of Wednesday 28th January.
