Hey everyone! So I looked everywhere trying to get an answer and I figured the best thing to do was to post on here and get everyone's opinions so that I know what to do. This may get lengthy, so please bear with me lol...
I bought the basic and advanced brush collections from the 2010 Trip Collection because I saw it online and jumped on it. I knew that you used to only be able to buy these at airports and I bought them without really thinking about it, thinking this would be a good solution to having backups of certain brushes that I really love (ex: 219, 224, 187) instead of purchasing them again individually. I noticed that these brushes are basically MAC's holiday brushes, just in different packaging. (I may be wrong) But then when I started looking online and actually researching, I found out that's it not the same quality as the regular brushes that you buy on your own (which completely makes sense and I don't know why I didn't think about that; MAC brushes bought individually are hand made, these are not.) The next day I was at the MAC store and asked the MA who I was close to for her opinion and she said that they were good to have around for travel, but not to use like I do with my other brushes because they're def not the same. She said she bought them for her mom who is not a makeup person and she is happy with them, but for people who do their makeup on a daily basis, these will not hold up.
I can lie to myself and say that I will use these whenever I travel, but truth of the matter is, I know when that time comes, I won't pack them. I know I will just take my brush roll and use my regular brushes. So now, to my question...
Are these decent brushes that I can incorporate into my routine, or should I just return them? I want to get more than one person's opinion on this. TIA!
