My Review:

The first thing I noticed about this set was that it comes in a high quality case, perfect for travelling. I travel a lot and I struggle to take my brushes with me as I don't want to damage them or carry them in a giant set, so this is perfect. 

Once I opened the case I was presented with a beautiful set of 12 brushes. These are all very strong and study, the handles are in an unique blue with Sixplus written on them, they have a rose gold head holding the bristles. 

I have really pulled at the hairs in the brushes and not one has fallen out of place. They are extremely soft to touch and when make up is applied to them there is not a lot of waste of product, they only absorb what you need. On applying make up the application was good and I got a full coverage, better than I have achieved with a sponge such as The Beauty Blender. 

I couldn't believe the range of brushes in this set there is:

A powder brush

A liquid foundation brush

Angled brush for blusher

Highlighting brush

Small highlighting brush

2 eye shadow brushes

Blending brush

Small eye shadow brush

Eyebrow brush

Eyeliner brush

Lip brush

This is a great face make up set as it includes everything you could want from a set. There is only one downside to this brush set and I am being a bit picky now... On the back of the box there are the instructions to which brush is which, there is also the information about which brush is used for. I would have liked to have seen this as a small leaflet included inside the set, I would find that really useful but obviously I won't be keeping the packaging. I would have also loved a few brush guards included to make sure the brushes stay nice. Like I said though these are minor personal things that I feel could have improved this product further. 

Overall these brushes are excellent, gone are the days of boring coloured brushes! These really brighten up my make up bag and are going to be a firm favourite for travelling. I would recommend these brushes to everyone, they would be a perfect addition to your make up brush collection, I think these are priced well for the level of quality. 

I received these free in exchange for an honest review.

My review: 

When this brush set arrived for me to review, I couldn't believe the quality of it, it was definitely more than I expected. It came in a wonderful travel case, this would be perfect to buy as a gift as it is really well presented. It is also great to have all your brushes in one place, where there is less chance of losing them. 

Inside the case there are 11 brushes, each with it's own purpose. There is a guide inside as to which brush is for what. This is also printed on the back of the box too, so if you are unsure of what the use of each one is for you will get a good idea from that. Also in the case there is instructions on how to clean the brushes as well as 5 brush guards. These are for the larger brushes to protect them. 

I really pulled the brushes to check the quality of the hairs. They all remained intact, the handles are strong and don't show any signs of becoming lose. Each brush is very soft and full. All bristles are made in high quality synthetic human hair materials this is much better than them being plastic, they each have a wooden handle and hypoallergenic metal connector, great if like me you are allergic to metal. 

As I said before each brush has it's own function, there is a liquid foundation brush, a powdered foundation brush, contour and blusher brush, a selection of eye shadow brushes, a concealer brush, eyebrow brush and eyeliner brush. This is a great selection of brushes in this pack. I was so surprised there was an eyeliner brush in this pack, a lot of brush packs this would not be present in. 

At £28.99 this seems a little pricey, saying that though you do get 11 brushes, guards and a case. Due to the quality of these I would recommend this set to others. It should last a long time and does give really good results. 

There is one negative I have about these brushes and that is the smell of the case, it did smell quite chemically once removed from the box. The actual brushes however have no smell so I am assuming once they have been exposed to the air for a while the smell will fade. That is also certainly not a reason to not get these as this as a brush set is perfect. The range is incredible and like I said before the quality is brilliant. 

I would like to thank the company for sending this in exchange for an honest review. I was provided with a sample product at a complimentary or discounted rate in exchange for a fair, unbiased, and honest review. 

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser

What they say:

As skincare obsessives, there’s nothing we love more than a moisturiser with added benefits so when we heard that Caudalie had created an innovative new product combining our beloved Vinoperfect range with a little complexion coverage we were sold. The ultimate ‘all-in-one’ product, this oil-free formula not covers imperfections but cares for your skin day after day: dark spots will fade, you skin’s natural radiance will shine, and you complexion will never have looked more even!

Use in the morning, directly after cleansing. Leave as is to let your natural skin shine through or apply your usual make-up on top. (Taken from Birchbox)

What I think:

To be honest, I loved this product, it is so smooth and soft. I had a sample size and this was generous at 15 ml, the full size product is 40 ml so it wasn't that bad at all. It is slightly tinted which is perfect for the summer season and for taking on holiday with you. It feels like your skin is able to breath through the make up and makes it feel so soft once applied. 

The cost for the full size item is £27 and comes in light, medium and dark. 

I think that once I have finished the sample, I may purchase the full size. I would recommend this for the summer. 

Benefit Posiebalm Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm

Benefit Posiebalm Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm

What they say:

Benefit's spanking new tinted balms are the perfect (pucker) partner to their beloved tint sisters. Benebalm conditions and hydrates lips thanks to mango butter, jojoba and sodium hyaluronate, while leaving behind a sheer pink hue. Pair over the top of Posietint for soft, pretty colour that endures it all. It's tinted love! 3g.

Glide and build onto bare lips or over your favourite tint.

What I think:

I think this is actually a really great product, my lips feel incredibly soft when using this and I can actually feel the butter coming through the product. This does come in different shades and I choose the pinkish one, which does go really well with my skin tone. I do have one negative about this product and that is it didn't seem to last very long on my lips after half and hour to an hour I found I needed to reapply. This was a disappointment, however I have got a small handbag sized one as well so I keep this handy in my bag. 

This costs £14.50, which is a lot for a lip balm, however I was hoping it was going to last a long time, I guess I will have to wait and see on that one, only hoping it does as I would be tempted to purchase this again if it is.
