When I received the brushes they did have a chemical odor, which doesn't bother me. I have had more than one set of makeup brushes arrive like that. I think it's because they spray them with something to keep them protected while in storage and during the shipping process. It's an easy fix to that anyway. Before you wash them just remove them from their protective plastic sleeves and let them sit for 2-3 days and then wash them. I know we all want to try out our new makeup toys right away (pretty much as soon as we open the box) but trust me, just try it. Sometimes just washing them instead of letting them sit first may cause you to have to wash them more than once or twice to get rid of the smell.

These brushes really surprised me. I didn't expect them to perform like they do. They are very soft and glide nicely across my skin. My favorites are the foundation brush, the angled eyebrow/eyeshadow brushes and the ultra fine liner. The angled brushes are really firm. I was able to clean up around the top and bottom of my brows easily with out the brush slipping and going through my brows instead along the edges of them. Plus they were great to trace my brows with my pomade before filling them in. The ultra-fine liner works amazingly well for applying gel eyeliner. I'm not that great at doing that, but it was lot easier and I did a better job of it with the liner brush from this set.
I also really like the size of the handles especially on the smaller brushes. They are very slim and easy to maneuver in your hands. It really makes flipping the dual ended brushes around in your fingers easier.
I like pretty toys and these are lovely looking. I like the shiny black ferrule and the handles are matte black. Sleek, stylish and look more expensive then they are.
Pros:
Very Good Quality
Wonderful Variety
Perform Like Higher End Brushes
Extremly Affordable
Easy to Work With
Easy to Clean
Very Attractive
Cons:
None
As my the beauty girls and boys (or beauty gurus) on YT say.."DON'T Sleep On These". I'm really happy with them.
And even though I got these in exchange for my honest review. I'm being completely and totally honest. If these were just okay or not good at all. I would tell you. I look to customer reviews when I'm shopping on Amazon too. The quality of these brushes are great and I like the results I get when I use them. They clean well and the ferrules are as tight as a drum on every single brush. I'm ordering a backup set.
Cleaning Tip: Don't soak or submerge your brushes in water or brush cleaner. It will make your ferrules loose and cause mildew. Wash them with the hairs pointing downward under the tap and squeeze the water out also while pointing the brush downward. If you don't have a drying rack. Lay them on a towel to dry. Don't put them in a cup right side up to dry because that can cause mildew also. I'm not a beauty guru or expert. I'm just a woman who happens to love makeup, beauty products and the tools used to apply them and take care of them.
