these are fabulous for the price!
I love the sizes because I use a lot of eye shadow colors, these work perfectly, there's a lot of smaller size brushes which is exactly what I wanted for eyes and lips. There was no chemical smell in mine. The hairs don't fall out when pulled, soft bristles. I was pleasantly surprised when I got them. I also like the shorter handles, I prefer them that way.  I don't know what people had to complain about, at this price they are great! as you can see from the pics I like makeup, and these worked great for my personal needs.
