I hope so! Because I could really use a set to leave at work.. or use at work really. I'm sure it would "walk" off if I just left it there.

Because they are such crappy quality compared to buying each brush individually. I bought the teal brush set from Holiday '05 and GOD, all of them aren't anywhere near as good as the originals! The 266 is really hard and stiff-bristled (good for brows though), the 129 is pokey and scratches my face, the lip brush (forgot number) broke before I even used it... I only like the 239, I'm so glad they didn't mess that one up!
Brush sets aren't worth it!

people say that with the le/se brushes that half the hair is missing but i can kinda tell that its not always 100% full like the regular brushes.less hair is not that big of an issue for me but personally for me i work way better with long handled brushes.another thing is if you get a brush clutch or a pro brush belt then your brushes will sink inside because they are too short.get it?

BUT!!!!!Brush sets are good for those who can't afford to buy all of the original brushes.You know maybe to just start you off.It can be pretty steap when buying authentic mac brushes all individually.Plus it's addicting too I started off with one then lead to 32!And I'm still going!

I've bought 2 brush sets (Holiday 2004 and Tailormade) and those were pretty decent. The Holiday 2005 brush sets were the worst ever, so I read on MUA.

I have several sets of se brushes, none of them has ever been crappy. (Except for 1 of my pink ones, The paint cracked, I left it over night, several times, in brush cleaner, oops, but the brush part is still perfect). I love my short handles, it allows me to be closer to my face. I don't find hair missing or anything like that. I would much rather buy the set, and have more money to spend on actual make-up. I hope they are coming out with another set.

I bumped this up because of what I found out last monday. At nordy's the MAC MA told me that new brush sets were coming out in june and she put me on the list for them. What they are going to look like, exact date, etc I have no idea, but just thought I'd let everyone know

Yeah I agree with you about the quality, my 239SE is a lot stiffer and it's rough compared to my full size 239.
