Real Techniques Bold Collection



I had my eyes on this collection from RT for a very long time but the price tag was putting me off. Which I know sounds tight but when your a student money is hard to stretch.

With having a collection of the other RT brushes I couldn't resist when I saw a set of the Bold Metal Brushes on offer. In boots I noticed that they had a set of three with a limited edition RT clutch for £25. An absolute bargain!! - especially when it was meant to be £64, meaning a saving of £39. This offer is still available on the Boots website, grab it while you can!!

In the set you get three brushes which are:

Exclusive - 103 Angled Powder Brush - Largest head yet. The angled head bleands seamlessly and contours to face.

200 Oval Shadow Brush - The full, round shape allows for all over lid application and seamless blending.

300 Tapered Blush - The specially-designed tip highlights and sculpts across cheeks for seamless finish.

I haven't had the opportunity to trail these brushes yet, however from all of the reviews I have read they are definitely a collection to invest in - I'm more than excited to try them out.

Just a pre-warning when you have begun buying any of the RT brushes you will become addicted and want to collect the whole collection!!

Have you got any of the RT brushes? Any of the Bold Metal Collection? Which is your favourite brush? ❤

Lush || Wish List

(from top left to bottom right - including Lush Cosmetic's Descriptions)

So White, Bath Bomb || £3.65
Be the fairest of them in apple-scented waters as pure as the driven snow. Bathe in a white mist filled with crisp apple fragrance and a slow, melting rosy centre. Bergamot oil and rose absolute helps you feel calm and peaceful, while neroli oil and orange flower absolute revives your (Christmas) spirit. 

Snow Angel, Bath Melt || £3.95
Dissolving into a flurry of snow, blanket your bath in white foam before revealing a shimmering golden glow. Rich in moisturising Fair Trade cocoa butter, with a delicate marzipan scent, and oodles of rose, benzoin and cassie absolute to treat winter skin to a softening, floral soak.

Star Dust, Bath Bomb || £2.95 
Follow yonder star all the way to the bathroom; it will bear exotic gifts of Fair Trade Ugandan vanilla from the Mountains of the Moon and precious rosewood from the depths of the Peruvian rainforest. A twinkly dip in its starlit waters gives a bergamot-powered boost to the mind and body - ideal for a little post-party recovery. Note: wise men not included.

Magic Wand, Reusable Bar || £5.25
Wave a magic wand over bath time with this reusable bubble bar. Fairies of all ages will love this candy sweet magic wand. Swish around your bath or hold under running water for Snow Fairy-scented bubbles, then pop it on the side to dry out for next time. Don't forget to make a wish.

Candy Mountain, Bubble Bar || £2.95
Fair Trade vanilla grows in view of the Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon in Western Uganda before being packed into this peak of its own. Crumble the swirled pink summit under running water and embrace glistening ridges of bubbles and comforting creamy candy mist.

Luxury Lush Pud, Bath Bomb || £3.95
Catch 40 winks on Christmas Eve with islands of sleepy foam and comforting lavender. Tonka absolute provides the perfect Christmas dessert for your skin, while the reassuring scent of lavender oil and creamy benzoin resinoid banishes tension and aids relaxation. Soothing for excited children and grown ups alike.

Peeping Santa, Bubble Bar || £3.95
Santa's always watching with his dairy free chocolate drop eyes, waiting for his batch of hand-churned shea butter from the Ojoba women's cooperative in Ghana to be ready. When the festive season comes round, it's blended with Fair Trade Organic Cocoa butter to make the filling between Santa's sandwich of strawberry-sweet bergamot and geranium oils. Crumble under the running water for sack loads of fruity bubbles.

I am determined to treat myself to the majority of these this coming week when I visit my nearest store. Due to not living close to a store I always tend to have a 'wish list' of products I'd like to purchase when I visit - and here it is. If you aren't a Lush product purchaser you are probably thinking whats the different between all of the bath products:

Bubble Bar || adds scent, colour and bubbles to the bath water, moisturising for the skin as well as being reusable (only a little needed at a time, allow to dry out and simply reuse).
Bath Bomb || add fizz, colour, scent and sometimes confetti to the bath water. 
Bath Melt || moisturising for the skin and add scent to the bath water.

Sooner than later I am sure I will be putting reviews up of these Lush products, including my own thoughts and opinions compared to what they described to be.. I'm sure they will all be amazing as they normally are!!

Do you have a favourite Lush product? If you haven't yet tried any, go and treat yourself!!
