Superdrug: Galactic Queen Fantasy Brush Set £20

I have a bit of a weakness when it comes to pretty looking makeup brushes. Don't get me wrong, I need them to be functional too, but if there's a fancy finished handle or coloured bristles, I'm there! I spied these Fantasy brushes, online at Superdrug and it was love at first sight. Called "Galactic Queen", they live up to their name with a shaped handle in a shimmering green and purple, colour shift finish. The big fluffy heads have black to purple ombre hairs and they just look luscious. Let's be real though, "needing" and "wanting" new brushes are two different things, so in my head, I could only buy them if I was getting a super good deal, so I hung off.

I'd kinda forgotten about them, until the weekend when I had a nosy and each brush had £1 off. Nothing too exciting. Then I noticed, you could buy all 6 for £20, that's better! I got distracted looking at other stuff and naturally by the time I went to checkout, one of the brushes sold out. I was kicking myself. I got my sister to look in our local yesterday (wasn't even sure if it was an online only deal), but no, they didn't have them. Last night I checked again and they were all in stock, so I didn't hesitate and ordered the lot.

So the full set would usually set you back £34.94 or £28.94 with the current £1 off deal. You have to individually add each one to your basket, then it'll automatically deduct £8.94 for you to get them for 20 quid. Had I not been buying them on this deal, I probably would've left the blending sponge and eye brushes, but it was cheaper to buy them all than pick the ones I wanted. I should also add here, they are synthetic brushes, suitable for vegans if you were wondering.  So you get; an eye duo set containing domed and angled brushes. A foundation brush (the shorter bristled one), an angled blush brush which I'm likely going to use with powder bronzers for contouring and the marbled blending sponge. Then the two that look similar are blusher and powder (slightly longer head). As cleaning brushes is such a time consuming and energetic activity for me, I like having a lot in my collection, so that if I haven't had the chance to clean them since I last used them, I have the option of an unused one. I have several 'sets' on rotation usually and I'm always on the look-out for new face brushes especially.  I think mine might arrive tomorrow, I'll try and get photos up as soon as I can, but I wouldn't dilly-dally if you want these, as I suspect they'll go quickly again.
