First Impressions: COSTCO Brush Set

Hey everyone!! This are my first impressions of the new set of brushes from Costco. I think they feel amazingly soft and really good quality.

To start, this is how the packaging looks like:
Front

Back
The packaging feels of great quality and has the perfect size for a kick-ass gift!

Now, onto the brushes...


FACE BRUSHES:

No. 100 Kabuki Brush. Natural hair, really dense and soft. Great for all-over powder or a slight touch of bronzer to warm up your body.

No. 101 Angled Contour Brush. Natural Hair, soft and dense. Great for blush and contouring the face with the E3 method.
No. 102, Duo Fiber Brush. Not too dense, so I don't think this might be good for applying foundation, but it is great to give a hint of color to the face.
No. 104. Rounded Foundation Brush. Because of it's shape it is great to reach those little spots that aren't so easy to reach.
Another view from the foundation Brush
No. 105 Concealer Brush, perfect size to apply concealer in the under eye area, but also to apply on the blemishes. Another great use for this brush is to apply cream shadows and bases. 


EYE BRUSHES:

No. 200 Fluffy Eye Brush. Natural hair, great for blending the eye color in the crease. Also for contouring and highlighting the nose.

No. 201 Eye Shader Brush. Natural hair, great for packing the eyeshadow on the lid, but also to highlight the eye.
No. 202. Angled Brush to contour the eye. Natural hair. Great for the crease and the outer "V".
No. 203 Rounded eye brush. Natural Hair. Great for smudging the liner to create an amazing Smokey Eye.
No. 204 Angled Brush. Natural Hair. Great for lining the upper and lower lash line, and also to fill the brows. 


BRUSH ROLL:



A little smelly, it only has space for 9 brushes, not for the Kabuki Brush.


OVERALL GRADE:  9/10. When I washed the kabuki brush some of the color of the hairs came off, also when you first open the box it has a weird scent.

I might purchase this again, not right away, but maybe in a few years.
