Whats your addiction? Mine is Makeup Brushes!!

So since I've worn makeup my favourite way to apply has been with a brush! And over the years Ive collected quite a few :) Im really fussy when it comes to brushes... They have to feel comfortable in my hand... they have to feel super soft and they have to be able to hold the right amount of product! Prices can range.. the cheapest Ive ever bought one was £1!! and it was pretty damn good (elf basics range eye shadow brush) and the most expensive was a Mac foundation brush.. I think I paid around 25 ishhh?? which my darling little daughter decided to break.. But seeing as my Avon foundation brush did pretty much the same job for 6 quid I never did feel the need to replace it lol. I recently sorted through my makeup collection - including brushes! And ended up throwing out 3/4 of a black bag full... Did I mention I shop wayyyy to much! eeekkkk and I have a strict 2 year rule... If it hasnt been used up within 2 years it goes in the bin... I must admit.. I had been delaying a bit because some of the items I just cannot get no more and I hate that! Anyway back to it... After sorting through my brushes and chucking most of them out Im left with these beauties... And in serious need of stocking up on some new ones :) So what are your favourite brushes? Do you stick to a particular brand?

Some of my absolute faves are as follows:
- Elf blush brush... I use this for pretty much everything as its good with liquid foundation as well as blusher :)
- Avon retractable lip brush... This gives me precision and its super soft and super cute! and small enough to pop in my handbag which is always handy!
- Nanshy foundation brush... I really like this brush, Its quite firm while still being soft and it gives a flawless look.
Elf basics eyeshadow brush... This brush also known as the 'c' brush is the perfect shape to get the eyeshadow just in the right places on the lid.. it really is one of my best purchases :)

Now this isnt a brush at all but is my latest favourite item! And that is Avons beauty blender! I purchased it while it was half price so £3.25 I think and have to say its worth so much more!.. Its amazing! Best coverage I have ever had, I use it wet.. and you would think that it would absorb lots of foundation but it really doesn't! Just leaves your face looking flawless :)

My worst ever brush purchase was Sigma brushes.. I seriously hate them... Particularly the pencil E30 brush.... Roughest brush I've ever found in my life!!

My mum has recommended the Real Techniques brushes so I will be trying those very shortly!!
