There's a hell-ov-a lot of pressure on Instagram and social media in general these days to have the best of the best, and tbh it is just not realistic. I'm so bummed when I see other bloggers showing off these amazingly beautiful fancy-pants make-up brushes then only to check the price tag to see they are waaaay out of my budget. Being the utter bargain hunter that I am, I thought "my arse am I paying fifty quid for a stick with some fluff on it that gets grubby as sin the first time you use it" (okay maybe £50 is a bit of an exaggeration) SO I got looking for some cheaper alternatives.
