The Best Budget Brushes

Brushes are something that you need to have if you enjoy playing around with make up, just starting to feel your way in to makeup, or if your just a bit of a clean freak and don't like using your fingers. 

Brushes can cost you a fair amount, some brushes at MAC start at £30, which although they are good is ridiculous. Everyone knows and loves the Real Technique Brushes, and I own quite a few of them and cant fault them, however even those, for high street brushes are will still set you back around £8-£10 per brush.

Not too long ago i was watching one of Gabby, from Velvet Ghost's videos where she was speaking about where she got her brushes from Ebay, so i thought i would have a look. These brushes are incredibly good, they do different sets, different colours, from 4 piece sets such as the duo fiber brushes which was £3 including postage and packaging, and then i also got myself a 15 piece, yes 15 i said, for £11 including P&P again.

They are so good, i have not tried all of them yet but the ones i have i can not fault, they are soft, apply and blend all products well whether they be cream, liquid or powder formula. They do not shed their bristles either (Wooho!). I am yet to wash them, but i'm sure they will do just fine with that as well. 

As they are shipped from China they did take a while to come, around two and half weeks, not terrible considering your not paying for postage, the reason of this is because they do not attach any tracking information. But i can confirm they do arrive, packaged nicely.

You can grab the sets i bought and loads of others here and check out Gabby's channel here!

A Treat Worth Trying: YSL

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTE SHINE

There is nothing nice than a treating yourself to lovely bit of high-end makeup. When it comes in gold shiny packaging and has YSL written across the front of it, i think we can all say we are very much happy bunnies.

The quality of these lipsticks are second to none, they go on sheer but you still get that hint of colour that is in the bullet and they can be built up to a more strong intense colour. The texture is beautiful smooth, moisturising and just sits effortlessly on the lips.

With all high end products, with such great quality comes a not so great price tag, i bought this one in duty free so the price varies abit from stores which would stock YSL, however they are around £23-£26 depending where you are buying yours from. It is not the sort of product we can all go out a buy 6 of in different shades and so on, but it is a good feeling when you've worked hard, saved up and go and treat yourselves, and these are a treat i would certainty recommend.
