real techniques brushes (pixiwoo)

cocokay

bought the real techniques stippling brush in boots at lunch, can't wait to try it, its sposed to be brilliant. the company works with sam chapman from pixiwoo who does all those fab tutorials, i am addicted to watching them, love her & her sister! if its good i will go back & get their kabuki brush, it folds out into a sort of fan shape blush brush as well. 16 euros each which are a great price, they've got really good reviews online! and they are cruelty-free. any one else used these?

Bought one yesterday. Used it this morning and loved it! Much more control than with my MAC stipple brush. Just annoyed that the price is so much more expensive than in the UK.

I need to get my hands on these brushes, think I might treat myself tomorrow! There was none left in Blanch on Sunday, anyone know if they've got any in?

Its so annoying the difference in prices between here and UK. In UK collection 2000 everlasting concealer is about £3, I saw in Boots the other day for 6.50euro!!

used it this morning with my doublewear and i love it!! i am thinking of getting a 2nd one ha. just love the finish it gives, better than regular foundation brushes.

There was none in Jervis on Wednesday, I was sickened! Going to try out my local one later. I really want the blush brush! Or maybe the core collection...

Swords had a few left on Wednesday.....might still be a few there?

I'm going to try the one in Maynooth - it's usually pretty quiet and it always has a large selection so fingers crossed there'll be some there!

St Stephens Green was almost out of everything with none of the sets left.

Dundrum had everything as far as I could tell ... can't buy anything till pay day though which was so disappointing.

Fingers crossed I can find some next week!

None in Liffey valley today, couldn't even see a space where they should have been, unless I missed them completely?

Anyone know if they have these in Omni in Santry? Looking for blusher brush and the gold handled set (can't remember what its called!)

I checked Liffey Valley too and saw no sign of them.

I bought one of the Blush Brushes and it's not as good as I expected It doesn't pick up very much product and when you manage to get a good amount on the brush it just doesn't distribute it well. Kind of disappointed. Will try to get my hands on the stippling and buffing brushes when they're back in shops!

Got the last core collection and blusher brush in Boots in Omni yesterday! Used them this morning and think they are amazing! When I felt them I thought they were going to be too soft but they just give the perfect finish.

I didn't use them as they were labelled, as I don't think they are suitable for what they are labelled to be used for, if that makes sense!

I used the contour brush for my blusher. I used the buffer brush for my foundation-which gave it an amazing finish. The pointed foundation brush is too small for foundation application I think so I used it for my concealer. I didn't get a chance to use the detailer brush this morning so not exactly sure what I'll use that for, the description says concealer but to me its definitely too small for concealer so maybe lipstick but I don't usually use a brush for lipstick. The blusher brush is far too big for blusher so I used it for my setting powder and it worked so well.

I really am impressed, I don't think my make up has looked so flawless ever!:)

Was in Boots Swords today and they had a full re-stock of the Real Techniques brushes again.

The Lovely Muffin

Boots in Mullingar had a few of these in stock yesterday.

There was a set of them and a few other single brushes. Not sure what single brushes they had though.

Saw on Twitter that Cloud 10 are stocking these brushes with cheaper prices than Boots!

Significantly cheaper in some cases! :eek:

There are loads in stock in Boots in Maynooth if anyone is in the area. Bought the core collection and blush brush. Haven't used them yet, but they're so soft!

Stippling brush is €3 cheaper on cloud 10, in the UK it's £11 which magically turns into €16+!

Its really so cavalier how some prices are increased in this country. Even with allowances for currency exchange and possibly different VAT rates, the difference in prices can be beyond belief.

I got it off cloud10, can't wait till it arrives. just tried the Stippling brush

Had loads of points saved up on my boots card so i picked up the core collection today and also bought the stippling brush. Haven't tried them yet, but they feel really nice! The stippling one feels like it has more control than my mac and especially my elf one.
