Let's get Real

leeza from Stylist & Literate talked about these brushes being available for us Canucks at Walmart. I've wanted these brushes ever since I first heard about them watching beauty videos on YouTube. So last Saturday, while I was out running errands, I drove around several Walmarts looking for them. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the Core Collection (shown above). I saw several of the Travel Collection, but I wasn't interested in those ones because I have lots of brushes similar to those. I was most interested in the contour brush and the buffing brush in the Core Collection. Finally, I was able to get these brushes at a Walmart near where I live (I should have gone to that location first!) and they had several of these on display. I got this set for $18.97CAD.

Here is the back of the package. 

I love the brush handles.
I was a little skeptical on the quality of the bristles as the brush set is pretty cheap, but
I was surprised how soft they were. 

As an added bonus the set came with a travel case. 

The draw string on the travel case can be tightened so make a stand for the brushes.
What a clever idea!

See how it stands up so that the brushes stand upright?

I can't stop looking at these brushes. They are so pretty.
I want to pick up the individual brushes (with the pink handles) later on, but I don't believe
they are available at Walmart. I think I will have to order it online at Amazon…

And the back.
These brushes are multi-purpose so I'm sure you can use this brush to apply liquid
foundation, apply blush, bronzer, etc.

Look how dense the buffing brush is. I'm going to be using this to set my liquid foundation
with powder.

My favourite brush in the set- the contour brush. I don't have a domed brush this size
so I'm super excited about this brush.

Here's the back.

The foundation brush. I find this brush too small to apply liquid foundation. Plus, I don't
like these flat brushes to apply foundation. I prefer the flat-top kabuki-style brushes to
apply foundation. I plan on using this to apply concealer under my eyes.

Here's how the bristles look.

Lastly, the detailer brush. I think it's meant to spot conceal, but Aleeza mentioned you can
use this as a lipstick brush. Good idea!

Aleeza has a more detailed blog post on these brushes as well as a YouTube video so you should definitely check it out if you're interested.
