Review (3/5): This kit is so-so
I ordered this kit based on the 4-star rating. When I received it I found that the eyeshadow brushes are way too stuff to really be useful. The powder and foundation brushes are great, the lip and eyeliner brushes are excellent, if a bit long (but bristles are easy to trim). The fan brush is okay, and the case is okay as well.
The case is a bit larger than I expected (I neglected to measure my purse before ordering the brush set) so it barely fits in my purse so I usually bring a smaller brush set with me when I go out, leaving this kit at home.
I actually ordered this one to replace old eyeshadow brushes, and so I was kind of annoyed that those particular brushes are worthless, so I went out and bought quality brushes at $20 a pop.
Also, I do not bother with the eyebrow brush/comb, and it is already falling apart just from being in the case.
It's worth it if you need a new case for your brushes, and also need new foundation and powder brushes, but expect to immediately throw a bunch of the brand-new brushes directly into the trash.
- Update months later -
I still use some of the brushes that came with the set but threw away most of them. I kept the larger ones since they work well for foundation, bronzer, blush, etc. and kept one of the smaller brushes for lip color but the others left a lot to be desired. Also, the brushes I did keep fell apart; the metal crimp does not hold the handles well so I used super glue gel to reattach them. I still like the case though!
