Real Techniques Mini Ornaments*
I was damn excited by these Real Techniques Mini Ornaments and I’m sure lots of beauty fans will be there with me! This year Real Techniques have six different ornaments, which have everything from brushes to sponges. They arrive in little boxes, which hang perfectly on the tree and will make amazing stocking fillers. I have the Miracle Sculpting Sponge Ornament*, which arrives in a pretty pyramid with the Miracle Sculpting Sponge hiding inside. This sponge is expertly cut to help create shadows or highlight your favourite facial features. Miracle Sculpting Sponge Ornament* will retail for £5.99, available exclusively from Superdrug.
Real Techniques Color Correcting Set*
If you love colour correcting and find that you never have enough brushes – this set is made for you! Inside this set you get everything you need to apply, buff, and blend colour correcting concealers. There are four brushes and four sponges, which have been colour coded to match with the key colour correcting shades. Use the purple colours to cancel sallowness, peach to cancel dark spots, green to cancel redness on the skin and brighten the skin with pink. What I love about this particular set, is that even if you don’t use every colour correcting colour, you can use these brushes and sponges in loads of other ways (including eye shadow, under eye concealer and highlighter). This set is available now for £19.99 from Boots and Superdrug.
This one is for the contouring goddess on your gift list, with six different products inside to help you spotlight and sculpt the face. The set includes a brand new Bronzer Brush, which has a large head and dual-length bristles for lightweight application of bronzer. There is also the Contour Brush, which is perfect for targeted highlighter and contour work. There’s also a Domed Shadow Brush for full lid eyeshadow application, plus a Shading Brush for eyeshadow distribution. There’s a Smudge Brush, which is my smokey eye essential – as it’s great for blending eye makeup along the lash line. Finally, we have the Miracle Complexion Sponge and the Miracle Mini Eraser Sponge. This set retails for £29.99 and is available exclusively from Superdrug.
Bold Metals Eyes + Lips Set*
Finally we have the Bold Metals Eyes + Lips Set, which is just beautiful! You can really take care of all the basics with this collection, with all the tools you need for perfect eyes and lips this season. First of all, you get the 200 Oval Shadow Brush, which you can use to apply eyeshadow to the eye in a single sweep. The you can take the 203 Tapered Shadow Brush, to pack on pigmentation, right into the crease of the eye. The final brush is the brand new 302 Pointed Lip Brush, which has been designed to fit close to the contour of your lip for close, even application of glosses, lip stick, or lip stains. Of course, my favourite part is the Brush Cup, which is especially designed for the Bold Metals brushes! This set is retailing at £30 and is available exclusively at Boots.
If none of these gifts take your fancy, you’ll be pleased that there are six other beautiful sets, with lots of other combinations! There are also five other ornaments, so really, whoever you’re buying for, there is something for everyone! I’d love to know what you think of these brushes in the comments below – will you be buying anything from Real Techniques this Christmas?
