I was on an eBay bargain finding roll one night when I stumbled upon these. They were cheap, looked good from the images, and reminded me of the Real Techniques ones, so I ordered a few. I paid just £1.54 per brush from this seller. They've now gone up to £2.55, which is annoying, but they're still incredibly cheap! The seller has red, blue, and gold varieties (in different listings). I believe I have brushes 1, 3, and 2 in the photo above. I actually ordered number 4 instead of 3, but I've spoken to the seller and it's all been sorted. So, as well as being cheap, they arrived in 1-2 weeks, which I was pleased about. I'm also happy to report that I really like these brushes! They're really soft, not flimsy, don't shed, and wash well. I've been using number 1 for when I attempt to contour or highlight, number 3 with cream blush or foundation, and number 2 for blush. This eBay seller is the same seller I got my EcoTools Bronzer Brush from, so if you're looking for some affordable, good quality face brushes, I'd definitely check them out!
Wow I'm definitely ordering a couple of these! Even if they don't turn out to be amazing you've hardly lost anything :) thanks for the heads- up, now just to decide what colour I want ;) xx

Looks great - are they as good as the real techniques brushes? Would save me a fortune if they are!

Yeah, I think they're just as good :) Soft, dense, and wash well - All I look for in a brush! But Real Techniques have a better shaped brush for powder, and offer more variety. I'd definitely recommend buying some of these for blush though!
DeleteWow what a bargain! x
ReplyDeleteWoooah, that's some copyright trouble right there innit haha x
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if they were the same brushes as Real Techniques - brands put a huge markup on things they can manufacture on the cheap.
ReplyDeleteThese look great! :) think I might pick some up! Xx
ReplyDeleteOh gosh yes, they do look like the RT ones! I'll have to track some down.
ReplyDeleteWow these really are very cheap but I think they need to change the design a little bit so they couldn't actually be mistaken for Real Techniques brushes!

Before I read the post I thought these were the Real Techniques brushes and I thought I'd missed out on them releasing the blue handled brush! I'll definitely buy these when I have some money, I'm always on the hunt for new brushes.
