Real Technique Make-up Brushes Review

Something quite iconic in the blogging industry at the moment is the new Real Technique Makeup Brushes. These brushes have taken the beauty fanatics hearts (and money) that's for sure. I decided to share some mini-reviews on a couple of the brushes I was able to get my hands on.

Powder Brush:

The Powder brush was the first brush I got by RT. I was on the hunt for a new powder brush and I came across these so I thought since they were so hyped up on Youtube and this that I'll give it a go. The powder brush is apart of the 'base' range, I like to use the powder brush after I have applied foundation, powder just sets it all in place. I do feel like after using this brush that my skin gets a healthier finish than it does to the brush I used before (eco tools).

Blush Brush:

The blush brush was actually one of the last brushes I bought from Boot's it is such a good brush not only for a blusher but for bronzer I like to use this for contouring my cheeks. It is apart of the 'finish' range, it leaves just enough on your cheekbones, not too much or round like some blush brushes do. Definitely, recommend this brush if you are like me and prefer blush brushes that don't leave circles on your face! 

Stippling Brush:

The stippling brush is part of the 'finish' range also. I like to use this to apply foundation it just leaves a high finish to your skin. By far the best brush I have used to apply my foundation to my skin. It just leaves a glowy, juicy and healthy finish to your foundation. I have used several brushes that just apply your foundation but don't give any effect so this brush was a surprise to me. It is probably one of the most hyped brushes I have seen, others agree with me about it given you a higher end finish. Mostly recommend this brush out of all their range!

Expert Face Brush:

The expert face brush is apart of the 'base' range just like the powder brush. However, I feel like it should be apart of the 'finish' range as it definitely gives a good finish to your skin. I use this to blend in remains of a foundation, I like to use the stippling brush to apply my foundation onto my face then this brush to blend it all in. It leaves a lovely finish using both together so I would recommend buying both if you want a 'high end' finish to your foundation. I noticed using this brush that my foundation was locked onto my skin better, as sometimes foundation can get difficult to blend depending on the brush you use. This definitely helped to avoid any blending problems! 

The Foundation Brush: 

The foundation brush is part of the 'base' range too, you can tell what range they are from by the colour :) anyway's..this brush I occasionally use to apply foundation depending on how my skin looks on that day. This is a good starter foundation brush from RT but, I would recommend the two above^ more. But if you want an alternative then try this it does has advantages: it is brilliant to apply to your skin, it has an angular shape to the bristles which gives your skin a bit of effect. 

Shading Brush:

The shading brush is the last brush to talk about if you are still awake from reading so much! zzz. Anyway's this brush is different it is apart of the 'eye' range it is the only eye range brush I have ATM. I use this to apply eye shadow or the occasional highlighter to areas around my eyes. It is such a soft brush, easy to apply eye shadow but with it being a shading brush the isn't a huge amount I can say about it unless I did a tutorial with using this! 

Have you tried these brushes yet??

Best & Worst Aussie Products

Haircare has always been a favourite of mine so today I thought I would write an in-depth review on all of the Aussie products I have tried. Aussie is currently my favourite drugstore brand for haircare, I have rarely been left disappointed and the prices are amazing, you always come across good hair deals in Boots.

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo:

I love this shampoo. I have gone through maybe two or three bottles of this stuff. It definitely brings your hair to life, I noticed my hair looking a lot less dry and dull after using this. It has a lovely scent to it as most Aussie products do, so if you like nice scented shampoo this brands good for that. It definitely gives your hair a 'moist' feeling.

Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo:

I have only used this once or twice as I got it a few weeks ago, but I am sure I have had this bottle before. I dye my hair every other 5 months or so and to keep my hair in good condition I use a colour shampoo and personally, this lasted my colour much longer than any other colour shampoos have. It definitely 'stays colourful' on your hair, obviously you have to give it a few goes till you notice a difference but it is worth it!

Aussie Take The Heat Shampoo:

Take the heat? more like take the oils. This personally left my hair looking greasy within one use. I may give this another go one day but at the moment I won't be, just after one use my hair felt and looked greasy. I didn't give it long enough to see whether it has any benefits for protecting hair from damage but, I was put off with it within one use.

Take The Heat 3 Minute Miracle Deep Treatment:

I have always loved and will remain loving Aussie's masks or 3-minute treatments! I like to use them once every week just so my hair is getting a good condition frequently. Tip - good to use if you have ombre hair and it is a little fragile.

After given the shampoo to this a go and wasn't being impressed I was reluctant to try this, but I didn't let the shampoo stop me..it is such a good treatment, I don't apply this to my scalp as much, I feel like this works more towards your ends of your hair. For me, this let my hair look shinier, healthier and on some occasions: thicker. All round good treatment by Aussie!

Aussie Dual Personality Anti-Frizz + Conditioning Milk:

What a mouthful to read! I purchased this in Boots when they had their 3 for 2 deal. This was the product I got free and what a great freebie it is! this is like my holy grail Aussie product. I cannot stress out enough for amazing this product really is! after you washed your hair and towel dried it you apply a pea sized amount of this to the ends of your hair. I like to apply it then plait it and leave it overnight, so I usually apply this at night. You see results within one use (well I did), I noticed my split ends were practically gone, my hair felt thicker, softer and like the bottle suggests 'anti-frizz' it DEFINITELY treats frizzy hair. I don't actually get frizzy hair but for those who do this may work for you!

Aussie Dual Personality Coloured Hair Protection + Shine Serum:

Last, but not least is an Aussie serum, I haven't ever actually used a serum so this is my first time! I have used this once or twice so not enough times to review this. But once I start using it more I will edit this or create a separate post. All I can really say about this is DON'T use loads because I applied maybe two pea sized amounts to the ends of my hair when my hair was damp, and the next day my ends were seriously so greasy it looked like straw 

You tried any Aussie products you'd recommend? 

Harry Potter World Studio Tour

Hello, Harry Potter fanatics! For today's post, I decided to put together a little adventure of what I got up to when I went to the amazing Harry Potter World Studio Tour in London. This place has been on my list forever and I was so excited to finally go! 

Not only did I get to see where some of the clips from the films were shot but I got to see a lot of gadgets, clothes etc the characters used! I absolutely loved the studio I felt like such a child in there. The music they played was from the films and everyone was so excited which made the whole experience feel a lot more magical. 

I couldn't leave the studio without some goodies so I bought the famous chocolate frog and Bertie Botts every flavour beans, which are not nice. I wish I could go back and buy one of their mugs but I am sure I will return soon.

I would love to go back in winter when they have the Christmas decorations up as one of my favourite parts of the HP films is the Christmas scenes.

I definitely would recommend going to the Harry Potter World Studio Tour in London if you are a huge fanatic like myself. It is full of so many things you see in the movies!

Have you been to the HP tour??
