The challenge of trying to fit all my beauty needs into the confines of a student loan is constant. The lure of Chanel, NARS and Lancome leaves me deeper into my overdraft and surrounded by empty packaging. Fortunately, the high street has some of the best beauty offerings that leave you without the feeling of regret and minus another fifty pounds into your overdraft. Every week Her Campus will be bringing you a bargain beauty product that is tried and tested!

The first tool in your cosmetic kit has to be a good set of brushes. The Real Techniques brushes are fail safe and utterly brilliant. The Core Collection Face Set provides you with a Pointed Foundation Brush, Detailer Brush, Buffing Brush and Contour Brush. These brushes allow you to create a flawless face whether you are a make up pro or an amateur. Other brushes such as the Stippling Brush, Expert Face Brush, or the Starter Brush Set for Eyes can be added to your collection to build up a reliable set of brushes that will never let you down.

I can safely say that these brushes wash well, and are light and easy to use. This is high praise amongst more high-end brushes playing a key role in my cosmetic collection.  Invest a small amount of money now for an incredible pay off. Your make up will be better for it, I swear.
