Here I am now and I've kicked the lazy bug. So I finally got hopped onto the Real Techniques bandwagon and I got a few items that stood out the most for me, I'm the last person to check out products from the Samantha Chapman line.

Let's Talk About it:
When I was deciding on which products to buy, the Blush Brush was at the top of my list because of the unique egg shape and I have to say I'm not at all disappointed. This brush is perfect for those highly pigmented blushes, it has a way to sheer out color and apply it perfectly onto the cheeks. The bristles are sort of a duo-fibre type, it's dense at the base while it's spaced out at the tip. If you have trouble applying blush, this is perfect. I do think the shape is a little bit big so I tend to use just the tapered tip of the brush. This is also perfect for applying powder all over the face. 

The Expert Face Brush is a dense and short bristles brush ideal for buffing foundation. It's quite small compared to the blush brush and I have to say this is my least used brush. Since the size is smaller it takes longer to apply foundation. It doesn't do a flawless job with foundation, it leaves streaks if you haven't taken the time to blend. I use this just for setting my under eye concealer and even applying a little bronzer on my cheeks since the shape is more flat and rounded.

Last but not least, my favorite of the bunch is the Miracle Complexion Sponge. I wanted to try out a foundation sponge and since the hyped up Beauty Blender is a bit pricey, I was hoping this would work just the same. I love this compared to any foundation brush but the trick is to dot your foundation on your face and then tap it out with the sponge. I find that dipping the sponge into the product absorbs it a lot and I end up using twice as much. Needless to say this blends foundation out beautifully..it melts foundation into your skin and leaves it looking flawless. I prefer using the flat side and since it's very soft and sized quite big after you soak it under water. This also works wonderful for cream blushes, it blends out really easily. Cleaning it is a breeze, I rub it against a soap bar and gently massage all of the foundation out. Since its soft it can break really easily so be gentle!

Overall its a hit or miss with Real Techniques but there are a few gems from the range!
