First impressions: Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman!

Real Techniques brushes are something I'd been admiring online for about a year now. Living in Australia, the only place to physically purchase is from a very overpriced Priceline (the sets are $40 each). So, when I was given some money for my birthday I decided to invest!

Now, I ordered: "eyes starter set", "Limited Edition duo-fibre collection", "fine liner", "micro setting brush" & "expert face brush".

From my first impressions these brushes are very soft. The handles are sturdy and comfortable to use and all of mine seem to be up to a high quality standard.

I was nervous about purchasing the duo-fibre set because I'd read a review saying that they were not duo-fibre but duel coloured hairs. I decided to get them anyway and so glad I did. They are DEFINITELY duo-fibre. I can see these becoming part of my everyday routine because I love natural looking makeup for day-to-day!

I had ordered these brushes from iHerb.com on the 2 May and, after a bit of research, resigned myself to that these wouldn't arrived for 3-4 weeks. However, to my surprise, I received this order from iHerb at about 7 am this morning! Meaning the order took 12 working days (very impressed!)

Conclusion: I'm very excited to have finally gotten these brushes. I will have to wash them tonight before I can really have a good go at them! They definitely seem to deserve the high praise they receive. If you're interested in buying some off iHerb, this code will get you $10 off: ZNF903
