Real Techniques Bold Metals Dupe Review

Whilst looking for a Christmas present for someone, I found these Real Techniques Bold Metals copy-cat brushes on Amazon and since I wanted some new brushes, I decided to order 2 sets, one for a gift and one for me. In the end my sister bought my set for me for Christmas! You get 7 brushes in the set, 3 silver, 2 gold and 2 rose gold. I've been using one silver for my brows and the other two for eye-shadow, the big gold fluffy brush for powder, the smaller pink fluffy brush for blusher/highlighter and the wide rose gold for one to apply foundation or highlighter. The only one I'm yet to find particularly useful is the gold, triangular type brush. I used it to contour with but didn't find it to be particularly adept at that, though I'm not rally sure what it's designed for. 

The first time I washed them, they stood up very well with no shedding and came out looking like new. Obviously they feel a lot cheaper than the real ones because they aren't made of metal but instead much lighter plastic but that's to be expected at the huge discount. At first that's slightly off putting but once you start using them you don't really notice because they feel much like normal brushes.

The set is available to purchase here for just over a fiver including delivery!

Bourjois Liner Feutre Review

After my L'oreal superliner ran out I was in the market for a new felt pen liner, enter Bourjois Liner Feutre. It seemed very similar to  the l'oreal one and since Bourjois was on 3 for 2 I picked it up. The first thing I'm going to say though, is that I prefer the L'oreal one. For only one reason, which is that the actual nib of the pen is so much thinner. The formula is good and dries fast on the eye so it doesn't smudge and once it's on it stays on too, my eyeliner will be exactly the same after I get home at the end of the day as it was when I left the house in the morning. It's a true black formula and glides on smoothly, the nib, whilst a nice size isnt quite thin enough to do wings, I often use a gel liner and brush for the wings and do the rest of my eye in this. As it's starting to run out now I've also realised that if I store it upside down it makes it so much easier to use as it's much wetter, so it glides on smoother.

Have you tried this eyeliner or a similar one? What liner would you recommend? 

Topshop Blush in Head Over Heels Review

I brought this blush in a set in the Christmas sales with the lipstick Wicked (Review here) and am also giving a set away in my giveaway (check that out here). I've been meaning to review it since. It's a really lovely blush because it's well pigmented and easy to blend plus this colour looks really natural on the skin, It lasts all day and sits well on top of my foundation. However as I'm not a big blush fan I feel that £9 is rather excessive and probably wouldn't pay that much for it. However I'm really happy with it overall and its quickly become my everyday blush.
