My Trip To The Crown Brush Warehouse//Haul ♥


Hello Lovelies. 
Today's post is all about my little trip to the Crown Brush warehouse. When I received an Email telling me that Crown Brush were opening their warehouse for one day I just knew I had to go. I absolutely love their products I think they are amazing and such Fab value, I own quite a few of their brushes and they are just amazing, I also own the '10 Concealer Palette' and the 'Smoke It Out Palette' both of which I use everyday without fail, amazing products I will link the website below if you fancy checking them out  :) Anyway so when I heard about this opening I thought to my self "oh any money the warehouse will be hours away from where I live" I never have any luck lol, howeverrrrrr I discovered it was 30 minutes from me wahooooooooooo just straight down the M25 AMAZING!! I was so excited as you can only order online and this was an opportunity to have a proper look and feel of all the brushes, swatch the palettes and check out all the other accessories. I literally wanted everything I was so over whelmed There was just SOOO much stuff I didn't know where to start it was liked I had died and gone to make-Up Brush heaven, I also Met Karla Powell which I am so chuffed about she is an insane make-up artist and such an inspiration to me so that made my day!! I also Met this little cutie if you follow Crown Brush on Twitter or Instagram you will know who this is....


Such a cutie!!!!!

Anyway so on to what I brought I cant believe I was so controlled I wanted everything!!


C143 DELUXE SOFT FAN: I don't own a fan brush and I have been after one for ages so decided to pick one up this brush is so soft like SOOOO soft.


C108 FLAT BRONZER: I loved the look and feel of this brush I think I will personally use it as a kind of buffing brush for my Foundation the hairs are really nice and compact and really soft so I think it will do a good job of applying a foundation.


POWDER BRUSH: I couldn't resist this one it was so beautifully soft and will be amazing for powder applications.


BLUSH BRUSH: As much as I love my Real Techniques Blush Brush I sometimes find I can get a bit blusher happy and it's not until I get outside Im like niceeeeee I have a pink face hahaaa so with this little beauty I will have a much more controlled application of my blusher.


 Last up we have the 10 Blusher Palette how amazing is this, just look at those beautiful colours and so versatile, you have all the colours you could ever need within this palette, colours to suit any mood on any day. I will most definitely review this palette in full as its just so gorgeous!!!

Crown Brush were giving everyone who came down 20% off which is amazing as their products are so well priced anyway so with my discount I only ended up spending £45 I had that moment when I was like ohh shall I go back and get more, but now I have studied all the products in detail I can just order online knowing what they will be like. It was such a good day all the staff were really lovely and gave one on one if you needed any help picking bits or advice on any products, If they hold one again which I really hope they do I couldn't recommend enough that you go along (if you live within sensible distance of course) It an amazing opportunity. you can click here for the link to their website check it out as it really is amazing I can't Explain how good the products are.

Thanks for reading as always dolls, please leave me your comments and questions I love hearing from you and I always Reply to them :)

Real Techniques ♥

Okay so as some of you might know last week I purchased my first Real Technique Brushes I got the Expert Face Brush and the Powder Brush, if you missed that post you can find it here.
Its not even been a week since I brought them and I have already gone back to boots to buy more I AM IN LOVE!! I cant believe I hadn't tried them sooner I absolutely love them.
Luckily boots still had their 3 for 2 on so I purchased another 3, im already itching to get more.
So here's what I got :)


One thing I love about the Real Technique brushes is that they are colour co-ordinated, so as you can see these have a pink metallic handle which is the 'Your finish/Perfected' collection.
 
Blush Brush:
Im in love with this brush, its so so soft and just feels amazing against your skin, it also holds the perfect amount of  blusher and applies it evenly to your face, the perfect shape of this brush also makes applying your blusher a breeze just one sweep to perfect blusher :)
10/10 for this brush!!!!
 
Stippling Brush:

You can use this brush with all sorts of products which is a winner, I have been using it for foundation and cream highlighters. It applies foundation evenly and flawlessly but without giving that cakey effect, it makes your foundation look really natural which is perfect for everyday make-up :) Its also great for Applying cream stick highlighters to the cheekbones.
 
Setting Brush:
I love love loveeeee this little brush I am using it to apply powder highlighter to my cheekbones and nose, its the perfect shape and it applies just the right amount of product for a really nice glow.
You can also use it for contouring and as the name suggests setting concealer :)
Guess what another 10/10 from me!!!
 
I really am so impressed with these brushes I cant say enough about them, I am determined to own the whole collection :)
What I also love about this range of brushes is there are online step by step tutorials which show you all the different ways to use the brushes which is super handy click here to visit the website. For those of you that don't know the creator of these wonderful brushes is Samantha Chapman who of course is one of the lovely pixiwoo ladies so no wonder the brushes are so amazing :)
 
Please leave me your comments I love reading them and will always reply to you, what are your favourite brushes? have you used Real Techniques?

3 for 2 at Boots ♥

I love Boots its one of those places where you go in for one thing and come out with hundreds!! I needed some Toothpaste (whayyyyy) so in to Boots I went, I soon realised it was 3 for 2 on all beauty products (uhh ohh) I also had some Advantage card vouchers that I had been sent last month and needed to use up, they were for double points so I decided to have a little look around and see what bargains I could find. I found myself in the 'make-up tools' section and saw all the brushes were in the 3 for 2 offer I couldn't resist.

My Bargains:
I have read so so so many amazing reviews on Real Techniques and every time I watch YouTube tutorials I swear they always use them. I didn't actually know Boots sold Them im sure if  I did I would have purchased them a long time ago, so you can imagine how happy I was when I saw them and the fact they were in the 3 for 2!!! I also got a Ecotools brush another make I have never used before but have read equally good reviews on.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush £9.99:
This Brush is for cream or liquid foundation application. I am actually in love with this brush and dare I say it but I actually prefer it to my Mac duo fibre face brush!! I love the shape and the firm bristles, it makes foundation application effortless and the shape really helps you get in all the hard to reach areas on your face resulting in perfect flawless application :) 10/10 from me.
 
Real Techniques Powder Brush £12.99:
This brush is another winner in my eyes its super soft and really big so putting on powder is so easy. It really picks up the powder and holds on to it as sometimes I find I really have to rub my brush around before it picks any powder up but this I just dap in it and there's plenty on there. Another 10/10
 
Ecotools Domed Bronzer Brush £10.99:
This is a gorgeous brush the handle is lovely and big and the bristles are again super soft, my bronzer brush before was a lot harder so this new one will take a little getting used to as I think im going to have to be a bit more rough when picking up the bronzer but nevertheless I love it, it also comes with a really cute 'eco pouch' to keep it in :)
 
So as I said I got these brushes in the 3 for 2 sale so I managed to get all three of these brushes for £23.98 instead of £33.97 which I think it a total bargain seeing as some high end make up brushes would cost A LOT more for just one brush!!! I also earned my self £5 in Boots advantage card points woohoo!!
 
Leave me your comments as I always read and reply to them :) have you used any of these brushes? what do you think? what are your favourite brushes?
