When it comes to makeup brushes one brand always springs to mind, Real Techniques. I used to think of brands such as MAC and Sigma but since Real Techniques have come along I haven't even considered buying from more expensive brands, or any other brand thinking about it! Their brushes are so high quality for such a low price, they really are such a joy to use, nearly all of my brushes are RT! So when the limited edition duo fibre brushes came out and everyone started raving about them I had no reason to believe that they wouldn't be any less than amazing. Unfortunately I haven't had a great experience with these like others have!
Firstly the set doesn't come in the usual packaging which I found rather disappointing to be honest. Usually the brush sets come in a brush holder which is really handy for travelling and it also turns into a stand which is great for drying your brushes. It was a shame that they didn't have the same packaging but I can see where RT are coming from, trying to make them stand out as they are limited edition and changing the packaging is one way to do so.
You get 3 brushes in the set: a face brush, a contour brush and an eye brush. It appeared to be the perfect little set, the brushes looked really appealing. When I first felt them as well they felt really soft and pleasing, this didn't last though. I found the brushes to be quite scratchy, especially the eye brush. I tried using the smallest brush for blending concealer under my eyes but it was so uncomfortable to do so that I just gave up in the end. The larger brushes aren't as bad but they still aren't as soft as they first appeared. I thought that washing them would soften them a little but that didn't work at all.
I really am quite disappointed with this set as the quality of RT brushes is usually so good! Whilst these aren't the worst brushes in the world they certainly aren't worth £24.
