YOU NEED THE REAL TECHNIQUE!

I have always enjoyed Pixiwoo's makeup tutorials on YouTube so when I found out that Sam Chapman had created the Real Technique brushes I had to have them. I started to look at the reviews, rating and comments on them. I was pleasantly surprised by the price of the brush sets (which compared to MAC are fantastically cheap) Don't get me wrong MAC brushes have served me well over the past couple of years, however because they are real hair they come at an expense and as a student I cannot afford £20 per brush! (talk about daylight robbery)

I can honestly say they are the best brushes I have ever had! and would recommend them to anyone because they are affordable, at around £20 for a set of four/five brushes. They are also synthetic hair so are perfect for all you anti animal testers out there and they don't absorb half the product compared to other brands I have tested.

I have the Core collection and the starter kit which are all good brushes and really make your makeup look brighter, fresher and natural. They are well made, stylish and soft on skin so again,  perfect for anyone who suffers from sensitive skin. My favourite brush is the Stippling brush from the core collection which I use for my foundation. Because of the way the brush is shaped it allows the product to glide around the face with ease, applying an even base and achieves that desired  dewy fresh,  airbrushed look to help every girl feel red carpet ready!

Tried, Tested and Totally in love.

For my birthday this year I got an Olay Regenerist cleaning system which  promises good clean and radiant complexion. I thought oh!  the latest con machine that promises but never delivers! However I was gladly mistaken.
It comes in a small box which has everything you need to get started straight away, it even supplies the batteries so there was no hunting around the house for some spare ones. Before starting remove your makeup and tie back your hair. 
The brush has two speed settings, and slowly rotates around cleaning the face, and neck. As I started to use it I noticed how firstly quiet it is, but  secondly how it really cleanses the face and gets into the spot prone zones. (what a mouthful!) I have noticed a massive difference in my skin since I started doing this just three days ago and  is particularly good with the sides of nose and chin, which I suffer with more than anywhere else on my face.
To make sure that my skins PH stays balanced and doesn't dry out I like to use Simples Spotless Skin, Triple Action face wash, every other day,  to make sure that it's really tackling any potential spots. Its really nice to feel my skin after I have completed the 2 minute facial and feel smooth, cashmere like skin. it is especially good to use to make sure you buff away any dead skin and impurities after a big night out. (if you can be bothered) There isn't a bad thing about this product and I really recommend it.  If anything that put me off it would be the price as its a bit pricy at around £30,  and the cleansing serum you get doesn't really foam up well so you have to add plenty of water to your face or the brush. I like to then finish with L'Oreal's Revitalift moisturiser to make sure my skin stays hydrated.
