If you follow us on Instagram you would have seen this picture but if you don’t here it is 🙂 This weekend I used my 20% off everything Ulta coupon and purchased more Real Techniques brushes and of course more NYX lip stuff.
What I really wanted to talk about is the Bold Metal Collection from Real Techinques. I bought the Triangle Foundation brush to test it out and see what the hype was about these brushes and can I just say the hype is real people!!! IT IS REAL!!!!
I typically put on foundation with a brush then blend it out with a beauty sponge, but I was so shocked and happy to see I did not need to do my usual second step. It blended so nice and even and no streaks ahhhh love it!!!
The brush itself is literally a triangle and can be used for concealer and foundation (at least that’s what I use it for!) In fact, I love this thing so much I bought another hahahah
Ulta is having a buy one get one 50% off on their Real Techinques Bold Metal collection. I bought almost the whole collection except the eye liner brush which I now regret and may purchase later today to get the deal.
Originally I did not want to buy these, they looked big, bulky, and expensive! This brush is regular price $24 with the most expensive being $26, but honestly after trying this one I don’t mind the price at all.
The handle is plastic so not as heavy as I originally thought and I personally like that they are long handled because sometimes I do accidentally touch my face.
I am super excited to get the others in the mail and test those out.
This is me with makeup using the Bold Metals brush, such an even application, I am obsessed! All my other face brushes have taken a back burner to this and I have used it every day since I bought it.
Happy Tuesday!
xoxo

It’s ok…. I don’t use bronzer but I use it for highlighting. It is just a bit too big for highlighter I think for bronzing and contouring it would be ideal. If I ever get into contouring I would love this one.

Oh yeah that is interesting, the metals looks slimmer but I will let you know as soon as I get it. I hate how Ulta is so slow to ship things so hopefully I get it next week

Sounds like a great brush! I really want to try some Real Techniques’ brushes, especially their expert face brush. For now I apply my foundation and concealer with the Real Techniques sponge. Ever since I started using beauty blenders I have been hooked on doing it that way lol. Your makeup looks beautiful! ❤ xo

Thanks so much Katie!! Yes I love the RT Sponge so much! I like the Beauty Blender but noticed I am allergic to the pink dye. I had two so I need to exchange the one I didn’t use for the white Beauty Blender. It’s weird that dye would make my skin react so badly but not with the RT sponge. I like the expert face brush a lot but now am obsessed with this one lolol. Hope you are able to get it soon ❤

You’re very welcome! I had never thought that dye would cause an allergic reaction but yeah I guess I can see how it would. That’s too bad, I’m sorry to hear that. Well I just made a big purchase on Ulta today so I think the brushes will have to wait a while lol. ❤

Have you tried the pink Real Techniques blush brush? That one is my favorite so far. I thought it might be too big with all the bristles but surprisingly it spreads the blush nice and evenly. I just got an email 2 of the 5 brushes shipped today so I hope they are the powder brushes so I can let you know ❤
