Not bad.. [SEP] You get what you paid for!! I received these a day early which is always a plus! They had a few of the same brushes but that wasn't an issue due to the fact that you can have one for darker colors and another for lighter shadows. I gave it 4 stars because the larger brushes did have a lot of bristles fall off fairly quickly. They did have a rubbery smell to it but who's gunna sit around smelling their brushes ha ha it's really not that noticeable.. Over all these aren't as bad as some ppl reviewed them to be.
