I'm huge fans of pixiwoo's Sam Chapman and Nic Haste. I absolutely love their YouTube account and could basically spend hours watching them do amazing make up tutorials and give the best make up advice possible. I think it's been about a year or so that they brought out the make up brush collection. Currently there are lots to choose from and they also have brought out their limited edition make up kits that are superb. I recently purchased the Night Owl Makeupkit and you shall see a tutorial and a review on it. Don't expect anything but amazing things for me to say about that!
But today, I want to talk about their Travel Essentials. There is the original sized one and the mini trio. I knew from YouTube videos that the brushes looked amazing and seems to be really good but I was still slightly sceptical and decided that buying the mini trio was a good idea to test the products out.
The Package:
Each collection comes with either a case or a wallet for travelling and holds the real techniques name tag and has the brushes name on the opposite side.
The Mini Brush Trio is as expected by the title, three small brushes- all with different purposes. All these brushes have a little ring around the holder at the top to help keep a grip on it.
The face brush has a beautiful baby pink metallic holder/handle (not sure what its actual title is. Sorry). This little brush is amazing. The brush size is perfect; it isn't too big to travel with and it isn't too small that it takes forever to apply make up with.
The foundation brush has a golden finish to it. The shaping of the brush works well for concealer as well as foundation and also would work well for blusher as the brush shape fits with cheek bone.
The shadow brush has a purple based handle. The shadow brush works well in the crease and is the right size to apply eyeshadow with.
The Travel Essentials is slightly different from the mini trio. The first thing is the size but I'm sure you could see that for yourself. The second is the black wrap package at the end of the handle which is used to keep a firm grip on it.

The Products:
The hugest thing that I absolutely love about these brushes is the fact that the hairs don't fall off and get stuck to your face. I mean the amount of times that I have had to keep brushing the hairs off my face while using other make up brushes is actually ridiculous. This is one of the reasons why I love these brushes.
The purpose of the face brush (pink) is:
• To apply foundation
• To apply power
•To apply blusher or bronzer
The purpose of the foundation brush (gold) is:
•To apply concealer
•To apply foundation
•To contour
The purpose of the shadow brush (purple) is:
•To apply eye shadow
•To apply lip products (if you are using the travel kit)
I give them a rate of 5/5. I think everything I've mentioned is a good enough reason for that rate. No disappointments and these products are completely affordable.
Thanks for reading.
