Hi everyone.
This isn't so much of a review of the Real Techniques brushes, it's more of an expression of my love for these Real Techniques brushes. Real techniques is basically a line of brushes created by a beauty blogger, Samantha Chapman aka half of Pixiwoo.
I purchased the RT brushes from a Thai online shop because they are not readily available in Thailand. Surprisingly, the prices of these are quite similar to the UK price considering that almost every beauty things we get here in Thailand are so overpriced. I probably would love these even more if they have the US price tags haha. I find it kind of strange that these brushes originated in the UK but they're cheaper in Ulta. Whut?
How often do I use these? Let's just say that after I've bought the RT brushes, I never had to clean my MAC brushes ever since. I think that says a little something. The bristles are made from synthetic hair which are crazy soft. I've washed these brushes multiple times and so far, they have not shed a SINGLE hair. They also dry really quickly!
Pros
- inexpensive considering the quality of them
- do not shed a single hair
- dry quickly
- cruelty free
- fantastically soft bristles
- work well with both cream and powder products
Cons
- not readily available where I live :(
What are your favorite RT brushes?

I simply adore Real Techniques brushes. I have a whole bunch of them as well, except the eye brush set and a few standalone brushes. But they have really taken over my whole makeup brush collection, and I couldn't be happier with them :)

I love, love LOVE these brushes! I have a large face and usually blush brushes are too small, but this one is perfect! I also really love the buffing brush; I use it everyday! The stippling one is going to be my next RT purchase.
