I wasn't planning a post today, however when I spotted this bargain I couldn't resist snapping it and sharing it with you! I wanted to post this as soon as possible so you can take advantage of the deal too so this is more of a first impressions. Superdrug currently have the Real Techniques Sculpting Set for £13.99 (that's £7 off) as their Star Buy until 19/05. That means that for just £4 more than the contour brush on its own, you can get 3 brushes!
The contour brush is so easy to use for a total beginner like me. It fits nicely into your cheekbones and the size of it stops you getting too much of a dramatic line. I also find the tightly-packed bristles make it effortless to blend your contour in naturally. The setting brush is lovely for applying a powder to set your under eye concealer. I do have a similar one (also labelled a setting brush) from Real Techniques however the bristles on that one feel a little different despite them both being synthetic (like all Real Tecnhiques brushes). The other one also seems a little denser than this and so I think I will switch to applying my under-eye concealer with that one and setting it using this. You can easily have this little brush for contouring your nose or anywhere other than your cheeks as the main contour brush is definitely designed for that but would be a little bulky for anything else. Finally there's a lovely fan brush, which I've been in the market for for ages. This is fantastic for super-subtle application of loose powders across the face or you could even use it to blend out your contour.
On first impressions I really like this set and think it would be well worth grabbing full price but even more now it's on offer. Whilst the contour brush may not work that well for other uses I think the other two are pretty adaptable and so well worth picking up even if you own a lot of these brushes. I also really want to pick up a cream contour product to try with the brush as I think the synthetic, tightly-packed bristles will be perfect for that. I also really like the slightly sleeker design of these brushes and it's great to see Sam and Nic are still expanding on the original range and bringing us amazing brushes at an affordable price.

I love the blush and stippling brushes but still need to try the powder one! xx
DeleteThese do look really good. I basically only have RT brushes, and a few other ones. I really want a Zoeva set but I think I'll have to settle for something a bit cheaper!

The Zoeva sets are fab, to be honest once you work out the price per brush they're hardly and more expensive than RT :) xx
DeleteI may have to visit Superdrug before the end of the week. I've been on the look out for a nice fan brush and like the look of this, plus, Im a huge Real Techniques fan. Thanks for the cheaper deal :)
ReplyDelete-Rumbie Love - xx
Hope you enjoy them if you did get the set! xx
DeleteI'll pick up this set for sure, as soon as it's available in my area ;) I love real techniques brushes and I'm really glad they widened their range ;)

DeleteAmazing price. The contour brush has a nice shape, makes contouring so easy I guess (:

DeleteI really need to get my Real Techniques game on! I have yet to try any of the brushes, even though they are now available in Denmark. Shame on me! Do you have any recommendations/favorites amongst the brand?
ReplyDeleteLoevens makeup rambles
I really recommend the blush brush, base eyeshadow brush and expert face brush as a starting point :) xx
DeleteThanks for the recommendations. I will definately be looking into those :)
DeleteIt really is fab! xx
