I've always been a little jealous of girls (and guys) with thick, long hair who are able to create messy buns, intricate braids and voluminous curls. Although my hair does grow to decent lengths, it is fine and rather thin, meaning that longer hair generally looks a little sad on me. 

If you're into the bold metal trends this season then you have undoubtably spotted and lusted after the Real Techniques bold metal brushes. However, if you are like me (and you live in Australia) then you may have looked at the hefty price tag for each brush and quickly turned and walk the opposite way. Because of the price of these brushes in Australia and after the advice of some girls on make up social I turned to eBay and decided to check out the dupes and replicas that they have on there.
