Real Techniques Blush Brush Review

First and foremost, these Real Technique face brushes are just so darn cute, aren't they?  They look like pretty little flowers.  Anyways...the second flower in my Real Technique garden is the Blush brush.  A bit of this review is going to be pretty much a repeat of the RT Stippling Brush Review I featured a week ago, as the quality of this line of brushes is across-the-board superb.  But I do have to admit that at first I did not share the same enthusiasm for this brush as I did for the Stippling Brush.  However, that soon changed...find out how after the jump!

A God Among Men: Real Techniques Stippling Brush Review

No, what you're looking at here is not a pretty dandelion, it's better than that:  it's the best stippling brush ever made!  I purchased the Real Techniques Stippling Brush as part of an ULTA haul a while ago, so I've had plenty of time to play with it and let me tell you, it's amazing.  I've been a huge fan of the Pixiwoo sisters since I began my journey into makeup madness and I credit them with my ability to not make myself look like a fool when I dress my face up.  So there was no hesitation when I found out that Samantha Chapman was coming out with her own brush line, I knew I had to have them all.  I wasn't prepared to find my holy grail of stippling brushes as I'd all but given up on using stippling brushes to apply foundations.  But I can tell you now that this is one brush you DO NOT want to pass up on your next trip to ULTA!  Find out why this brush will change your life after the jump!

I NEED THIS!!!!!! (Great Gift Idea)

This is the SPI Manicure Desk that is depicted in the ULTA Holiday 2011 Catalog that includes a lap desk, nail dryer, and nail drill/buffer.  I do not own this.  This is a problem.


It's an even bigger problem because it's not sold online, apparently only in stores, and the nearest ULTA is over an hour away from me :(  And yes, I realize that I could just buy a lap desk, nail dryer, and nail drill separately and have the same thing.  But that's not the point.  Not only would this be awesome for me (I could've really used this last night, my supposed manicure turned out to be a mess), but this would make a GREAT gift idea for anyone in your life who ever paints their nails or, if they're like me, can't stand having to sit at a desk doing their nails and therefore not being able to watch American Picker reruns at the same time - I like to multi task, what can I say?  Ultimately I'm probably going to just get everything separately and maybe some poster tabs to stick the dryer to the desk, because I really do think the concept is a simple yet genius idea.  But if you spy this guy at your local ULTA, think about picking 1 up, or maybe 2 or 3 for the DIY nail addicts in your life.
