Review (4/5): Great set of brushes
I have only used these once but they are pretty good. The handles as other mentioned do feel a bit weak, but that's only if you apply a lot of pressure. They are extremely soft and distribute the makeup evenly. They didn't smell weird and came in a box with a small white bag as described. I haven't washed them because I hear it takes some of the softness away so I cleaned them gently with baby wipes. I think for the price it is a good buy, the quality is good too. I wasn't disappointed in the least.
