Bargain Brushes!

I've been wanting to get kabuki style brushes for a while but I could never bring myself to spend ridiculous amounts for just single brushes, especially when I believe that it's not be necessarily about the tools you use but the techniques you know. 

Sigma are well known for making a range  of kabuki style brushes, but as you can see, they are very pricey! 

Sigma Kabuki Kit: $84 (£49.95) 

Sigma Precision 5 Brushes: $72 (£42.82)

I bought the above 10 piece brush set from eBay after seeing it being posted on Instagram for only £10.99 with free p&p. In the set you get 10 kabuki style brushes, extremely similar to the two Sigma brush sets above, but for just a fraction of the price. I am in love with these brushes!! They are such great quality and look very long lasting. I have already swapped out some of my RealTechniques brushes for these instead in my every day makeup routine! I would definitely recommmend snapping these up! 

There are many similar brush sets like this on eBay but many are based in China and Hong Kong, so delivery can take up to about 3 weeks. Me, being very impatient, decided to go with a slighter pricier set that was located in England, which would mean I receive it quicker! 

My brushes arrived in a dust bag and the larger brushes had covers.
