Unlike a lot of other makeup artists who knew about the Pixiwoo sisters even before they launched their makeup careers, i didn't get to know them until last year (no thanks too to Nigerian Internet connection and so i missed out on a lot of their videos) and i absolutely love them. Thank you Sam and Nicole for all the wonderful tuts *muah!*
In one of the videos i noticed some colourful brushes used by Sam and i wondered and wondered and wondered .... what brand it was until one day i caught the name "Real Techniques". I rushed to check it out and you will not imagine my excitement when i realised that they were the colourful brushes used by Sam. I was disappointed to note that there was no international shipping from the site then but fortune smiled on me last year and i was able to get assistance from a makeup artist friend who purchased the Core Collection Set for me *dancing*
The first thing my sister said when she saw them was "they are so cute". i totally agree with that.
the buffing brush
There was a mishap with the buffing brush that came with my original Core Collection purchase and you will not believe that within about 3 weeks or so of reporting the incident to RT, my brush was replaced and i was asked to pick another RT brush i would like to try out as a gift for the inconvenience i went through *surprised face*. I chose the stippling brush - with the pretty pink handle - and here they are
I have used this set for some years and am satisfied. Pros: - The bristles are soft; they blend creams and powders well. - No shedding. That was the major pro for me. I'm not the most tender hand...

Good brushes especially for students and those who starts their journey in makeup. They work fine, they are soft, they don't shed (very important,when you apply your makeup and end up picking hairs...

Essential and high quality, and for my basic makeup needs, they're in fact all the brushes that I own. I use the buffing brush the most, to apply foundation, setting powder, and everything else...

super soft bristles and affordable price point. personally though, I didn't have a use for the concealer brush so I gave it to a friend.

Had this set since 2013 or 2014, and the brushes held up beautifully in 4 years. They've never shed, and although the rubber bases have gone sticky that doesn't affect functionality. Over the...

At risk of repeating what I have said in my other reviews of Real Techniques brushes, they are very soft, very affordable, and attractive to me because they are synthetic and cruelty free. I have...

I love this set. It's really soft and easy to use, as well as very versatile. You can use this with liquid, cream and powder products which is very useful. I also use the tiny concealer brush to...

I feel Real Techniques is a staple in many people's collections and it's for good reason, they're inexpensive, they're good quality, and they're easy to get your hands on. They are so soft and easy...

I enjoy the two larger brushes in this set - I use the largest for powder to set my makeup and the other for highlight. Both are beautiful and soft and feel so luxurious! I am not a fan of the...

This brush set is a godsend for somebody like me. Somebody who wants great quality brushes without them costing an arm and a leg. I got the set for about 13 dollars. You get four brushes and a...

The brushes are just okay kind of scratchy and bulky so you can't put them in a vase with other brushes and the brushes are so ugly. Love the pixi girls so I don't regret them but won't repurchase....
