My Real Techniques Bargain

Cheap Real Techniques
I'm a huge Real Techniques fan, so when I heard about the limited edition Nics Picks set I knew I had to add them to my collection! At £30, I wasn't in a rush to go pick these up, although when I spotted them for £20 on the Superdrug website I was determined to buy a set of my own. Sadly these were sold out online, however I found my set while looking at the Christmas section in my local Superdrug, and cant wait to put them to work!
Included in the set are five wonderful sliver brushes in the form of the duo-fiber face brush, cheek brush, angled shadow brush, base shadow brush and eyeliner brush. Although personally I'm most excited to try the face, cheek and angled shadowed brushes as they're unlike anything else I own.

As always I will be reporting back with my thoughts, Will you be picking up Nics Picks?

Ebay Ecotools Brush set!


Over the past few months I've seen a few bloggers post about how they've brought these little sets from Ebay sellers for under £4 and have been left very impressed. So naturally when I had the money in my bank account, I went on the hunt for Ecotool brushes. I needed a concealer brush so I figured ordering the 6 piece brush set seemed like a good idea as it came with one along with a blush brush, eye shading brush, eyeliner brush, Lash and brow groomer and brush roll for just £3.59! (with p&p)


I brought from this Ebay seller , and was very happy with the service given - I ordered pretty late on Saturday the 30th of June madly it was dispatched on the next day even though it was a Sunday. I was aware it wasn't going to be delivered over night because it had to come all the way from China - So I think 18 days is pretty acceptable (And I was told between the 17th and 1st of August).


At no point did I expect the brushes to be real EcoTools because of the stupidly cheap prise but when they got here I'm honestly debating if they are or not because they look exactly the same as the product on the Boots website right down to the packaging and they feel AMAZING! 


Sadly my Lash and brow Groomer was snapped, I assume in transit but I don't blame the seller at all for that, and I honestly probably wouldn't have used it. I've just finished washing the brushes before I test them out, So I'll let you guys know how I get on. If it goes well I'm tempted to order even more brush sets!

Avon Goodies!

I always find myself ordering something from Avon as soon as the brochure finds its way through my door,
I think its partly the novelty of it, The idea of getting beauty products right to your door.
I mean online shopping has the same thing going for it, but there's something about Avon which leaves me crawling back for more even on my poorest days.
This month was no different, One look over the deals and I was pretty much sold sold, Here's what I brought this time;


Eyeshadow Brush with smudger- I'm not the biggest brush person, I pretty much have what I need which is only a few brushes daily (Although I have my eyes on the real techniques ones!) This brush is priced at £5, but Avon are known for there deals - I brought for £3, although its currently being sold for £2.50 in their brochure! Its pretty small and double ended making it easier to just pop into your bag if your on the go. It feels like really good quality especially if you consider the low price point. I look forward to using this, maybe I'll even write a post if I love it that much.


Infinite Moment purse spray- As much as I love my Vera Wang perfume, Its pretty pricey for such a small bottle which sometimes puts me off using too much of it. Ever since I was a kid I remember rubbing my arms on the Avon book to smell the perfumes. I was pretty much drawn to this smell from when it launched but at the time I didn't really have the £13 to waste for the bottle. When I saw the purse spray for just £3, How could I say no? I'm terrible at describing anything let alone smells, But it smells good okay. Its one of those ones that seems to smell better after you've been wearing it a while.


True Colour Eyeshadow Duo in Deep Forest- This was the product I was most exited to see and I was not disappointed! Shockingly I have never actually tried an Avon eyeshadow despite ordering from pretty much every brochure. This isn't a colour I would normally go for, but after seeing swatches on another blog I was sold, Full review coming soon!


Nail experts mineral fix- I'm always on the look out for more products for my forever growing nail collection, So I was pretty much sold by the fact that this was only £2!


Have you guys tried any of these products before?
