Techie?

When Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo announced she was creating a line of makeup brushes with Real Techniques, I knew they were something I just had to have. Her assurance that they would be affordable for all was a bonus, and to be honest had they been high-end brushes with high-end prices I wouldn't have objected.

After they arrived on Friday, I have spent the last two days obsessing over them and testing them out. While its too early to formulate my thoughts on them just yet, I'm pretty impressed by them. If you would like a review on them, let me know! Using synthetic taklon bristles in each brush means that they are 100% cruelty free. And they're "soft fibers help create a flawless, high-definition finish in any type of light – from sunlight to harsh indoor lighting". While the prices were slightly more than the American prices, they are very affordable at £18.99/22euro for a set.
