I've been on the hunt for some more make up brushes because having only 2 eye shadow brushes gets a little bit annoying when you're trying to do a smokey eye that involves 3 shades.
So I looked on the MAC website because their brushes are so so so beautiful and are all numbered and named so it's easy to remember which one you have etc but I decided that £80 for 3 brushes was a little bit excessive and out of my budget. I know make up brushes are supposed to be an investment and most will last you for years and years, but right now I can't wrap my head around £80 for some brushes that are going to get covered in make up.
So I looked at the brand of make up brushes I currently own and discovered these bad boys. A couple Christmases ago Santa gifted me with an 11 piece make up brush set and I've been using them ever since. They are by a company called Blink In Pink and they are so adorable and cute! They're black brush barrels with pink metal brush heads made up of high quality natural hair. So not only are they super cute and super affordable but they're super quality too!
I was given the 11 piece make up brush set which retails for £35 which for an 11 piece brush set is bloomin' fantastic. Here is a comparison of the brushes you get in the Blink in Pink set compared to MAC brushes, including their prices.
