BarryM White crackle nail polish

The BarryM crackle nail polish is the best thing i ever bought! It works and drys within seconds and gives an amazing funky pattern to the nails. The white also goes with so many different colours giving you loads of different looks for your nails. You can get this nail polish pretty much any where for £3.99. Im thinking of maybe trying one of the magnetic polishes by BarryM so let me know if you've tried it!

Real Techniques Brushes - Core Collection

A Few days ago my real techniques brushes (by Samantha Chapman) arrived from amazon. i bought them on amazon as they were only £17.98 whereas in boots they are around £20. I bought the core collection and these are my first real techniques brushes and i love them! there so soft and especially loving the buffing brush right now. 

Buffing brush

The buffing brush is meant for powder or mineral foundation but i like to use it for my liquid foundation, it gives a really even coverage. the bristles are really tightly packed as well, although a few loose hairs have fallen out of it but that doesn't bother me much. 

The Contour Brush

I tried using this brush the other day and i found it rather hard. On the box it says to use to contour and highlight. i decided to try and use my bronzer with  it on the cheecks however it just didnt work very well. i think this brush is much better for highlight as i really struggled to actually contour my cheeks. however i do love how soft the brush is.

Pointed foundation brush

I was slightly disappointed with this brush as it was much smaller than i expected and far to small to be a foundation brush. It did work very well as a concealer brush though for concealing around the nose, under eyes and eyebrows and i think i will use this as a concealer brush in the future.

 Detailer Brush

This brush is so tiny! its great for doing precise concealer or eyeshadow or even eyeliner. its a very flat brush and i would have preferred it to be more rounded to do blending in the eyes but im not complaining as the brush is very precise and pointed.
