Is this the synthetic brush set? I saw it at Costco for a while but decided not to get it, but now I am tempted.
I have the brush set from last year and I like it a LOT, surprisingly. I love the big flat fluffy eyeshadow brush, it's quite soft. And I use the blush brush quite often although at first I thought it was a strange shape for a blush brush. The only thing I didn't love about it was the foundation brush.

my dad bought me a set last year, the one that came with a silver hardcase. i love them, they're pretty high quality brushes...i use mine daily, and have been for probably over a year and they barely shed at all. once in a while i get a hair, but that happens even with the super expensive, high end brushes.

The kabuki comes with a shimmer powder which I detatched from the brush. I'll put it into a sifter. Also, you can refill it with whatever powder you want to once you empty the other one.
I kind of had to break off the silver part, then screw it off, then replace it, but the brush itself is still completely usable.

Yes, it's synthetic. I was eyeing it because of the price, but was not sure of the quality. With so many good reviews I may have to pick one up!

Probably under $25USD since it's around $25CND. I just saw it today...but didn't pick it up because I SERIOUSLY have too many brushes.
How's the softness on the powder brush? Or face brushes in general?

Can anyone please comment on the quality of this year's set vs last year's? I bought the 2008 one, but this year all the brushes are synthetic and last year as far as I know most of them were made from natural hair. So, is it comparable to last year's or not? Are natural hair brushes really that much better than synthetic ones?
Since I believe that natural hairs would be better, I kinda wish to get my hands on last year's set, the one that came with the brush cleaning solution, Anyone knows where I can get it? Ebay only has another other set with the fan brush
