Real Techniques Dupe | Budget Beauty

When I first started my blog, I really wanted to invest in buying some Real Techniques brushes, since everybody raves about them. But to be fair, I had never really looked at the price of them. I know a few of you will be thinking 'You can't put a price on beauty'. Well i'm sorry, but I can! I often browse through ebay to find beauty bargains (it never lets me down) and one day I came across these little beauties. Now obviously they don't have a name (if they did, it would probably be something similar to the real things), but after comparison, they are so similar! 

I first bought the rose gold blender brush for £1.99.. I kid you not! It came within the week and I couldn't get over how soft it was! Apart from the name, I couldn't tell the difference- I still can't after using it for a few months. The hairs don't shed at all, and it is super easy to clean too. The only difference I have found at all from this is the price.

I then went on to buy the pink blush brush for £2.49. Again I thought this was a bargain, and I use this for my setting powder since I don't use blusher. I just can't get over how good these brushes are. The only downfall to the blush brush is that it wasn't as high a quality as the first one. I brought it off another seller, and as you can tell, some of the hairs are far too long for the brush. I did have to spend around 10 minutes trimming it all to make it look better. But it can't be all that perfect for the price!

Obviously, I want to make it clear that i'm not slating Real Techniques at all- I actually think it's great that two girls have managed to create something great. But for someone on a small budget, I unfortunately had to look elsewhere. I just thought it would be a good idea to share my findings with other people on a budget.
