I love all of the RT brushes I bought.. except for one. I bought the limited edition Duo Fiber set and I like the face and blush brush, but that eye brush is torture! It's like rubbing sandpaper on your eyelid!
Oh no! :( That sucks. Meanwhile, I think I found a better use for my Pixel Point Eyeliner Brush (IMO, too thick for eyeliner): applying colour to the inner corner of the eye. *nods*

^ It might be on CVS online only as I've never seen them in store.
Walgreens has great sales sometimes and I've seen them in store in Walmart as well

I picked up my first 2 Real Technique brushes yesterday. Ulta had buy one get one 1/2 off so I picked up the Expert Face Brush and the Setting Brush. I saw a YT vid saying the Expert Face Brush is great for contouring and even though I just got the NARS Ita and I really, really like it, I still felt the need to try this one.

I love the finishing brush so much, I went back and bought another just in case my first is too dirty to use. I also love the pointed powder brush. Great for setting your foundation, etc.

I'm a RT groupie. I have BUs of all the brushes I own which are the big powder brush, stippling brush, expert face brush, blush brush, duo fibre brush set, and the travel core collection with the multi-task brush. My everyday go-tos are the stippling brush and the expert face brush but I love 'em all.

Same here! I love those brushes and use them every day. Completely forgot about the rest of my brush collection :)
The expert face brush and the blush brush are my faves!

I have seen bloggers talks about getting dupe of those brushes, do you guys think it's worthy? or it's better to buy the real ones?

I have the little kabuki brush and I love it! I've been using it regularly to apply my powder. It's so soft and hasn't shed so far.

My favourite Real Techniques brushes are the large Powder Brush and the Blush Brush which both come individually. I also really like the set of eye brushes. I've seen quite a few dupes on eBay, though I'm not sure if they have the same quality as the Real Techniques ones. I might purchase some "dupes" to compare them though.

I first bought a set, that came with 3 brushes: a foundation brush, blush brush and an eyeshadow brush.

The foundation brush, I never use. I don't like the flat type of foundation brushes, but this is nice if I want to sweep away powder from under my eyes from fall out. I hardly ever use this. The blush brush is really nice, imo. I'm one of the girls that tends to go a little heavy handed with blush (lol), but this does a pretty good job diffusing the color so I don't look like a total clown. The eyeshadow brush is also pretty good! I love using it to apply a highlight color underneath by brows :) I'd rate this 3 pc set a 4/5.

I actually just bought the flat stippling brush yesterday at Kohls's. I'm going to see how it works out with liquid foundation.

I love these brushes!My favorites are the contour brush,blush brush,expert face brush,multi task brush an I love the sponge!I've used the Beauty Blender for almost 8 months an I do love it, but I love the RT sponge just as much an slightly more due to the price difference. I don't see myself spending $20. on a sponge anymore! I also like the setting brush for my undereye powder. An I also have been loving the domed shadow brush to apply my paint pot everyday. I feel like it waste less product than when I was using my fingure to blend on. Plus it blends it all over the eye very well. I'm definitly excitied to see what they come out with next?

The only dud of the collection is the eyeliner brush .. it is stuff and almost unusable for liner application

I love Real Techniques brushes a lot. The ones I currently own are the Expert Face Brush, the Blush brush, and the stippling brush. I hope to buy duplicates of those eventually when I have the money and try their new retractable bronzer brush and lip brush, as well as their beauty blender dupe. I heard that the Limited Edition Duo Fiber Collection is a dud via Makeupalley and elsewhere, so I'm steering clear of those.
