I was a little excited when a parcel arrived at my home with these little beauties in them. I have always been a fan of Real Technique's brushes so I was very intrigued at their new limited edition essential collection.

Unlike other Real Technique's the handles of these brushes have a silver metallic design which adds a luxury feel. Each brush head is hand cut to allow precise applicable and the bristles are all ultra plush, cruelty-free and duo-fibre.

In this set you get a duo-fibre powder brush, a cheek brush, a base eye shadow brush, angled shadow brush and an eyeliner brush.

I was rather excited to use these as I have always been rather impressed with Real Technique's brushes however I have to say I am a little disappointed with these as I expected more out of these brushes. Don't get me wrong they are still really good and the bristles are really soft when used on skin but the quality of these brushes are not as good as the original core collection and I expected them to be better as they are a limited edition.

I still think the set is lovely and it would be perfect for a Christmas present. The set is currently available from Boots at £29.99* for the set.

Have you tried this Limited Edition collection? What do you think of this set?

Glo & Ray was a brand I hadn't heard of but that didn't stop me from getting a little excited when these beautiful products popped through my door one morning. The products are all beautifully packed but simple, something I like with packaging and the products look rather exciting too.



Glo & Ray Mariposa Eyeshadow Quad in Aegean Blue £12.50* Link

These colours are just divine and have a gorgeous vibrant pigment, there is three shades of blue and one grey shimmer in this quad which is perfect to allow you to create an ombre look. I haven't swatched this as the colours aren't something I suit as blue seems to flush me out but the shades are beautiful and would definitely suit a more cooler skin tone.





Glo & Ray La Amo Matte Lipstick in Barbie Kiss £12.00* Link

This lipstick is a creamy matte lip colour, is applied beautifully. Enriched with a unique blend you can apply this lip colour just once to create a beautiful dazzling shade and super soft lips. If you are a fan of MAC lipsticks this is a great dupe to MAC St Germain and is definitely worth picking up.





Glo & Ray Nuage Solo Blush in Halo Pink £11.00* Link

This has to be one of the most beautiful pigment of blushes I have ever seen, creating a luminous and dimensional finish. The texture is velvety and applied smoothly, this blush is easy build-able to be able to use a natural look or more dramatic look either way the finish is flawless and the golden shimmer really adds a beautiful glow to your skin. If you're a fan of NARS Orgasm this is a great dupe and I absolutely love this blusher, I think it is my new favourite blush.

What do you think of Glo & Ray cosmetics? Are there any products that you want to pick up?

I have been on the search for a good primer for like, well forever! I grew out of the POREfessional and the Baby Skin primers as I found them too silicone-y and I felt like my make-up was sliding off my face. I had recently heard about Estee Lauder's Matte Perfecting Primer Link and I was eager to try it. 

I managed to get my hands on some and I have been using this for around a week now and I love it, the texture as it feels like a milky lotion without a silicone like texture. The primer is oil and fragrance free and has been dermatologist textured so it is great for those with oily-combination skin like mine. The ingredients include Green Tea which is great for calming your skin and Vitamin E to rebalance your skin. 

This product works best when used on a bare face before make-up application but Estee Lauder say that you can use it in between your moisturiser and make-up. They also say that this primer has a targeted formula that controls oil and reduces shine so make-up looks smooth and flawless whilst minimising the look of pores to create an even canvas.

The primer is ideal for Normal, Combination and Oily Skin. I think the price of £23.50 for 30ml is a little on the expensive side compared to other primers but so far this is my favourite as it really is a lightweight formula that helps my make-up stay in place during the day. I use this every day as I find it makes my make-up application so much easier and smoother, it makes my skin feel amazing. Despite the price, I would definitely consider buying this as I really love the results on my skin.

Are there any primers that you are loving? Would you try the Estee Lauder Matte Perfecting Primer?
