#aSIMPLEchristmas :: brush on some sparkles this holiday with real techniques :: giveaway

Have yourself a Merry SIMPLE Christmas
From Thanksgiving dinners to Christmas parties to ringing in the New Year, there is definitely no shortage of times to dress up during the holidays.

This is also a time when I realize how pathetic my makeup kit is. I usually find myself running to the drugstore last minute (or on the way to the party) to pickup new makeup since I’ve been scraping the bottom of that lipstick tube for quite some time now. And then there’s the same makeup brushes I’ve been using since just out of college…yeah.

So why not treat yourself to a little early Christmas gift this year with new makeup and brushes from Real Techniques!

With a variety of brushes perfect for any make-up bag, at home or on the go, Real Techniques prides itself in offering professional quality brushes at prices the everyday woman can afford. Growing up around the professional make-up world, creators and sisters Samantha and Nicola have infused their passion for women using the correct make-up tools into each and every brush and applicator they create.

But, again, it always comes back to “affordable” for me. When you’re still in the throws of buying diapers and new winter gear for the kids, new make-up brushes can often get pushed to the bottom of the shopping list. Or completely off the list! Especially when the price tags are a little, well…pricey, for a good brush. This is, again, why I love Real Techniques! The prices of brushes are great and you’re not sacrificing quality for a lower price. Pick up just one or two brushes to replace your old ones or start out with a whole new kit!

  15. The retractable Kabuki Brush would be my pick. The top of my retractable brush fell off yesterday- it’s a sign I need a new one!!!

  21. I would like the miracle complexion sponge. It seems like a great tool to add to my arsenal.

  36. I’d like the silicone liner brush. It would help apply eye liner on dd for her recitals!

  45. I would love to have the Retractable Bronzer Brush! I love that this one you can retract and throw in your purse without ruining the brush or getting makeup all over the place!

  55. I would like a angled shadow brush because I think it might help me improve my make up skills.

  63. I’d LOVE the cheek brush!!! My blush brush doesn’t even have a stick! It broke (now that I’m thinking about it) probably 6 years ago, LOL! I just keep using it anyway, oh dear I think I really need some new ones!
