Makeup Brushes, How I Clean My Makeup Brushes, Beauty Blog, Katie Writes,

Half price makeup brushes!


These lovely brushes are currently half price at Boots. They're £10 instead of the usual £20.

The set contains five brushes, which are:
Directional Powder Brush,
Foundation Brush,
Eyeshadow Blend & Contour,
Eyeliner Brush,
Lip Brush,
Makeup Bag.

I particularly love the Eyeshadow blend & contour brush because it really allows you to get right into the crease of your eyelid with ease. If you're quite bad at applying eyeshadow, as am I, then it makes it really easy! And the bristles are white, which allows you to see how much product you've actually got on the brush. (Handy!)

I must admit that they look more expensive than they are. The handles are made of plastic, but initially looking at them, I thought they'd be metal. It does mean that they're quite light to hold though.

The brushes are quite a lot more expensive if you buy them individually. They range from around £7-14 each! So this set is an absolute bargain!

They're limited edition, so if you want to get your hands on them, be quick! Sadly, I can't find this set on the Boots website, but you might still be in luck if you pop down to your local Boots store!

Just a very little post to discuss some goodies I recently picked up from MUA.


I've never bought anything from Make Up Academy before; but I read somewhere that their 12 Shade Undressed Palette is a super-cheap dupe for the £37 Urban Decay Naked 3 palette (And I mean SUPER cheap...)

12 Shade Undressed Palette - £4
Elysium Palette - £6
E3 Blending & Shadow Brush - £1.95
Lipstick in Shade 5 - £1
Lipstick in Shade 15 - £1
E9 Socket Blending Brush - £1.95

(It's been a few days, hasn't it? Sorry about that. My Internet connection has been awful recently.)

A 50p brush can only be described as a bargain, but will such a cheap product live up to my exceptionally high standards?


In a nutshell, unfortunately not. This brush cost so little that I honestly didn't expect the world from it. Although, I did kind of expect to be able to use it for a while before it fell to pieces. Sadly, it fell apart as soon as I started using it.

When applying powder with this brush, several bristles fell out and got stuck to my face. Not ideal, eh? After pausing, I tried to pull any loose ones out so that they wouldn't stick to my face too... That's when a clump of bristles came out in my hand. So I put it down and swapped it for an ELF Brush instead...

I'm not sure I dare use it again. Mainly for fear of people thinking that I've got a hairy face. 

If this review hasn't put you off and you still fancy buying this brush, you can pick it up in your local Wilkos for a mere 50p. 
(The only brushes they have on their website are paint brushes or toilet brushes...Which are utterly useless for applying powder with. Trust me.)
