Real Techniques Starter Kit

Hey guys!!!

When I got the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge I loved it so much that I wanted to try the brushes. I have collected quite a few brushes, but I will only talk about one set of brushes. One time Ulta was having a 40% off sale on Real Techniques so I took advantage and got the Starter Kit.


As you can see they are all eye brushes and I love using every single one of them. They are all very soft and I try to wash them on a weekly basis if I don't get too lazy. Now on to the individual brushes and what I use them for.

Accent Brush

The website says it is used for precision detailing, highlighting, and smudging. I use it to highlight my inner corner and I love it. It is small enough to put it in your inner corner and highlight it more precise. 

Deluxe Crease Brush

The website says it is a soft, oversized design for effortless contouring. I love to use this brush to put a transition shade in my crease and to attempt to contour my nose. It really makes it really easy to blend the eyeshadow or the bronzer out. 

Base Shadow Brush

The website says it applies a smooth, flawless foundation of color and that it does. If my elf eyeshadow brush is too dirty I will use this one and I love how it applies color to my lid.

Brow Brush

The website says that the distinctive shape easily defines eyebrows. I use a eyebrow pencil at the moment and after applying a couple strokes I then blend it out with this brush. Another use for this brush I apply eyeshadow on my lower lash line before I blend it out with a fluffy brush.

Fine Line Brush

The website says it is for precision application of cream eyeliner. I have never really use gel eyeliner until I got the Mary Kay gel eyeliner. It is still a work in progress, but this brush has made it a little easier to apply than the brush the eyeliner came with.

Overall I LOVE the Real Techniques brushes. I love them so much that I have more and honestly I want to get them all. I will talk about them later on. They are an affordable line of brushes. You can find them on their website, Kohl's, Ulta, and I hear Rite Aid is carrying them now. 

Do you guys love these brushes as much as I do?? Which one is your favorite brush??

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
