Review (5/5): First appearance exceeds my expectations, if they last I will be very happy
What a nice surprise to have this set exceed my expectations. The brushes are soft to the touch and they clearly state they are synthetic bristles. They look decently made as well though there is a chemical smell I will have to air off. The smell might be the case, it is just a vinyl/plastic case but the case is pretty and not stiff which is nice I like the double magnetic closure feature. Be aware there are no small brushes in this such as an eyeliner or brow brush, these are all decent size brushes though the bristles are a bit short on the larger brushes and I will use these more for blending. The handles are long enough that they feel good in my hand, I prefer a full handle for powders which these have. I will switch a few out of these for travel to have the smaller ones I use and have a perfect set and then there will be some nice additions to my home makeup brush collection for blending when I contour. There is also a brush description for each one so you know what they are theoretically to be used for and a card that says if you are not happy for any reason to contact the company. The lightning deal price was right considering I usually get bare escentual brushes and decided to step it down for travel and see how these work and last.
