I am gonna go crazy for these brushes. I don't care that I already have any I could need for my basic make up application, I am hypnotized by the cool colors.

I love my 219SE, 219se and 129SE. The 266SE is about a millimeter thick itself. When trying to apply gel liner, it makes it super thick. I have two. One is from an old nordstrom exclusive... The bristles are straw like and significantly larger than the other one.... And the other I have from an online exclusive... That one works better, but I have a Quo Professional Brush that works a million times better.... Seriously, that one brush ruins it....

I am waiting to see swatches and more pics before I decide if I want anything from this collection. The brushes are a definate want but not a must have.

Alright, so you folks who know more about these brushes than me, please talk me down from brushes I don't need just because of the cool and psychedelic colors. I have a lot of Bare Escentuals brushes and Coastal Scent ones, because they are nice and soft--a major plus for me. I have a few MAC brushes but not too many--mainly because of going the cheaper route and buying other brands at less $$$ or used for less $$$. So are any of these brushes anything special?

If not, I will definitely focus on the eyeshadows because the VP finish is righteous and I am really set on lipsticks for the moment, unless they come up with some unique colors, like green, yellow, or a true blue.

My guess is that they will be much nicer to look at than to use. While the colors are very fancy, I am anxious that they will be scratchy. I still like the idea of have a bunch of wildly-colored brushes to join my now-oh-so-plain black brushes.

that is true. perhaps i will be scared to use them because i don't want them to get stained?!

I don't really care for the 266 either even in the full size. I like the 208 way better. I also really love for getl/cream liners Bobbie Brown's ultra fine liner brush. It is awesome. I have the fine and ultra fine and they are both great.

I really hope the colored brushes are soft and good quality but my wallet says disagrees. I have so many brushes but they aren't this pretty.

Hahaha, probably true, though the MAC brush cleanser keeps my white brushes really bright, thus I think it would do the same for the colored ones. They will be synthetic anyway, which is easier to clean.

oh no! i dont want colored brushes that wont stay colored!

BTW clinique's brush cleanser (sephora) is soooo much better than MAC's recently discovered

I meant to say that a brush cleanser will help to keep them in whatever color they come. I'm pretty sure these brushes will be 100% synthetic, thus I doubt the color will fade.

BTW, I had the Clinique cleanser before and I like that it comes in a spray bottle. I did not find much difference between the two, so I probably will stick with the MAC one.

i use the mac stuff too but a couple of my 239's are stained. but i think it's because i only wash my stuff once a week. if i did it after use they most likely would';t stain!

I wash my brushes on a daily basis, but that's just me. I try to do it immediately after application when I am still in the mood for it, but I wish there was a simpler solution. Can somebody please invent a brush washing machine?

OMG the brushes look amazing, I will be getting all the brushes except the 219. I already own the 129 from the wonder woman collection..Though I am tempted to purchase it just because of the color

Oops I forgot that these are being sold as a set, OH WELL, will be purchasing.. :)

I'm pretty interested in seeing swatches for this collection since it sounds like there will be lots of eyeshadows and a good amounts of sets. I guess it's not super interesting as there are a lot of repromotes aswell but for some reason I just like sets, maybe cause they allow me to try products I wouldn't normally choose.
The brushes look cute but I worry some will stain and look funky tie dye or something. Who knows that might look cool too!

But she doesn't have the colorful brush sets as part of this collection...? I wonder what collection they belong to then!
