Just a very quickie post, as I haven't actually used them yet, about my new Real Techniques Brushes!!
Basically just to show them off really!!!
You all probably know they are designed my Samantha Chapman, who's an amazing make up artist and runs an extremely popular make up channel on you tube with her sister Nicola!!

I bought the 'starter set' which is basically just for the eyes :) They used to only be available on http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/ but now Boots stock them!! Although at Boots they are a pound more expensive (but totally and utterly worth it)
I bought mine in Boots, I had to use extreme self control not to buy the entire collection right there and then!!
But here we go.....
First impressions, they are so soft and pretty. And I definitely love the little case that turns into a stand. Genius!!
Can't Wait to try them out!!!!

Just quickly, I know there is Make Up Artist Magazine....but are there any others??
They have an abundance of different magazines devoted to different types of paper craft, knitting, etc but they don't seem to have any devoted purely to cosmetics.
I for one would love that!! I know fashion magazines do cover a few cosmetics, and have the odd tutorial, but it would be great to have some more magazines completely and utterly about make up, and make up to suit any budget, filled with reviews, tips from make up artists, tutorials, skin and health guides.
Because as much as I love to read blogs and websites....(it's my book fetish all over again here) there is nothing quite like having that material in print in your hands, with glossy photos and ads to look at as well. And again you can take it with you in the bath!!! haha!
Anyone else think this would be a good idea??

I really like everything Bobbi Brown does. I love her cosmetic line, I love her brushes and I LOVE <3 this book!!!
Firstly it's really eye catching don't you think? Bold and Beautiful!!
I bought it as an extra resource for doing my course and I must say its much better than the actual textbook I was given.
I also love that it's not solely aimed at those wishing to study make up, it contains the basics so any woman can do their own make up perfectly, know whats suits them, how to apply it properly etc.
One of my favourite sections is the nutrition section, as we all know beauty and make up all start with good skin and this tells you what foods are good, what things to avoid and how to care properly for your skin, which I am in desperate need of!!
The first section is really dedicated to the beginner and the basics of make up, the second section is aimed more towards the aspiring make up artist, it shows you how to organise and take care of your kit, what basics you need for your kit, how to break into the industry, what working with certain photographers is like. All really interesting and fundamental things to help you on your way in the make up world!!
I definitely think you should purchase this, whether you're an aspiring make up artist, a full trained and qualified one, someone who hardly wears make up, or just a make up fan. It truly has something for everyone.
Let me tempt you even more by sharing a few pages of the beautiful photos included.....
BEAUTIFUL!!!
