I got the Costco-Borghese brush set!

[cakes]

Oh, and they do sell Borghese at department stores. Some of their items are available on Bloomingdale's website:

Borghese - Shop by Brand - Bloomingdales.com

my bf bought these for me a while back on the recommendation of a co-worker of his and they're not too bad for being cheap! of course, i've bought more mac brushes to use instead of these now, but this thread might get me back into them! haha

the pic above looks way different from the ones i have though, which are black. it came with a black, longer brush roll and shimmer powder as well. i wonder how different they are?

mine look like this:

^ that was last year's set. Seems a lot better than this years with more brushes too

I just picked this up last night! The brushes are suuuuuper soft. The 187 looking one is definitely too soft to apply foundation, but would be great with MSFs. The brush with the shimmery stuff in it is kinda weird. I don't know when I'd ever use that powder. I'm taking the shimmer powder out and putting it in an old BE sifter jar (yeah, I never throw anything away... it's a sickness! lol) and filling that brush with mineral veil.


Overall, not too shabby for 21 bucks.

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to pick up the set yesterday. I haven't gotten a chance to open it up and wash the brushes. Besides the reviews, I bought a stippling brush at Sephora (MAC wasn't nearby)... and its horrible. I got all of the Borghese brushes for less than the one brush from Sephora, we'll see how it works!

I got this same exact one too... it was a good considering how many brushes you get for the low price while trying the many types of brushes out there ... haha, I was overwhelmed when I first started getting into makeup, but now I know which brushes I want to pay more for. They did shed a bit when I would use and especially when I washed them unlike my sephora & MAC brushes of course

Did you get yours from a UK Costco? I've looked this time last year and the one where I live didn't have them. I will have to go this week and have a look. And how much were they here?

Yes I did

I got it from the Lakeside one. It was £15 something I think. If you can't find it we're gonna go back sometime before christmas so I can get you one if you want to! I'm sure they will though, they had a huge pile of them.

I have the same set, and I love the blush brush

 

[Miss_Jessi]

I bought them too, a while ago!I love the eye shadow brushes.The one for foundation was too soft for me, so i bought a brush from quo for foundation.
But the others , i use them everyday

 

[xxprettyinblkxx]

this years brush set is cute, i didnt even know there was a mineral shimmered filled brush included! i cant believe i havent picked one up, i just walk by them and go straight for whatever MAC items i can find at my costco lol too bad they didnt come in black handles, that would have been cute with the rhinestone

Yeah I've seen them at various Costco locations in B.C., I just haven't picked one up because I feel like I have enough brushes haha.

How's the stippling brush, anyone know?
