Hello,
I'm Alida from iMasterMakeup
and today I asked Daniel (Craig)
to help me present the products I'm going to review.
Darling?
Yes Daddy, yes!
What Daniel told you is that
I'm going to review this Real Techniques Travel Essentials kit.
The brushes came in this printed
transparent polycarbonate box.
On this side...
here is Samantha Chapman's face
(she is cute).
This travel case contains 3 brushes,
in theory is for transporting them.
so you may take them for travel...
These are the 3 brushes in this kit and
I'm going to tell you more about each one of them.
The first brush I'm going to show you is this.
It's called Multi Task Brush
and it's a face/finish brush.
It's good for powder...
..to apply mineral powder...
...compact powder...
...blush...
that's why it's called Multi Task
because it has multiple purposes.
What makes this brushes so special is that
they are very soft.
Super soft,
you can see it's not as dense
as it's a blush brush
But...!
But it's extremely soft and finish is very fine.
The ferrule is made of anodized aluminum
and this portion of the handle
is made of black rubbered plastic.
I've heard that this rubbered stuff
eventually with repeated use gets gunky and comes off.
Natural oils (from the hands)
and silicon contained in makeup attacks
this rubbery part damaging it.
It gets sticky forming little beads and finally comes off.
But this is not a problem perse because
the plastic handle remains fully functional.
so, in the meanwhile, no harm done...
This brush does not stand up by itself.
The ones that does it are the thicker ones. (like the stippling brush)
I don't care it doesn't stand up by itself because
it's a very sturdy brush. The finish is very nice.
Now I going to tell you what it happened to me with this particular brush.
Theoretically this brushes don't shed,
but mine did.
...well...
It's known that manufacturer flaws exists . . .
...and...
...and what is happening to this brush is...
. . is that without any effort . . .
...the hair comes off.
It comes off only from this section here.
Anyway, there's a way to fix.
It comes off a lot of hair.
But I'm going to show you (in other video)
how to fix this little manufacturer flaw,
I'm going to put a link over here.
Apart from that, (it can happen to anyone)
in general, is a very good brush because it's so
f*ckinly soft. . . .!
Sorry to say it that way but it's because I feel is so fraking amazing.
It's a total delight pressing it against the skin.
Sometimes while I'm Facebooking in my computer and I'm like:
With this brush in my face because really feels super soft. I'm liking it very much.
So for resuming,
I totally recommend this brush, I really liked it,
for example, for applying blush because is so fluffy.
Is fluffy AND firm enough and soft
and it doesn't scratch at all.
Look this brush's size. I'm placing it over my eye
so you can see the size of it. It's big enough.
My eye is big but no so�
You can use it for applying loose powders,
is big enough for powders.
It has the right size for applying blush.
It also has the right size
if you grab it this way
for contouring for face.
The little double chin
It's a life saver when being on the road.
The next brush it's called Domed Shadow Brush
and is by far my favorite.
The only defect I found in this brush...
...is that is not for sale separately.
Please sell them individually
because I would like to have 10 of them!
The thing is that if you buy
10 of this sets, what to do with the remaining brushes?
This brush is
i-m-p-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
because it has so many purposes.
For example,
I have used it...
...and I have tested it and I think it's great
for setting makeup on the nostrils,
the under eye,
to blend the eyeshadow on the eye-socket,
to highlight the brow bone,
to pack eyeshadow on the lid,
even to illuminate the cheeks,
but my favorite is
to pack eyeshadow on the lid
because is not as small or big that you can't handle it.
You can have control while working on the lid.
And I love the bristles's firmness
to pack eyeshadow colors.
Is not that pliable but it's not harsh
and it doesn't scratch.
It's, I don't know...
I'm in love with this brush and
I wish I could buy it separately because I would have 15 of these already.
Well, that depends if my hubby lets me have 15 of these brushes.
Let's say I would have 5. I would surely have 5 of these.
(the hubby) - 3 -
Well! He's spoken.
The god (of the house) has spoken and if he let me have 3 of them,
he let me have 3 of them.
And just because for this brush the entire kit is worth the prize.
So if you had any doubt about
buying the Shading brush (that one actually it's sold individually)
The Shading Brush is thinner
and is not as firm as this one so it doesn't pack eyeshadows so well.
Kind of for blending, finishing and concealing.
This one is impressive as eyeshadow brush,
which is very weird because it's known that synthetic bristles
don't catch pigments that well,
but this . . . !
. . .
it's impressive!
And the last one I'm going to show you
it's this and it's called Essential foundation brush.
it's called "cat's tongue" in some places..
...to apply foundation
or makeup base.
It also serves as...
...well, I don't like it for applying foundation
'cause it leaves lines on your face.
But it's as very soft
as all from Real Techniques,
and I use it also to conceal under the eye.
For example, in this look's tutorial I show you
as I use this to apply and blend eyeshadow primer that
I apply on the lids, under the eyes,
and in the nostrils. I apply it in those areas
before foundation because I helps a lot with the creasing.
I used it for this and it didn't leave lines,
and it doesn't absorb liquids into the bristles.
So I liked it so much.
Here is a way to prevent this case to be sleeping in the drawer.
I put in it some eyeliners, an eye-primer and a concealer.
This is my review on the Travel Essentials kit by Real Techniques.
I hope this will be helpful.
I hope you subscribe.
I hope you give me your thumbs up,
or your thumbs down,
whatever!
I'm going to enjoy it either way.
...and...
Bye!
