Bummer..... [SEP] Beautiful looking set and what you see is what you get.....for about two weeks and this is with very gentle use and no washing detergents or dishwasher machine clean.<br /><br />I wanted this style angler for my long hair and saw it everywhere....decided to pay a bit extra and get the set. Arrived in a beautiful flawless condition and even my trendy daughter was impressed lol. She’s away at school and tends to borrow my makeup, hair products of all kinds, clothes, etc. Sigh! Lol<br /><br />Normally, I would have attributed the damage to her as she is young and it’s easy to be roughshod on mom’s stuff when mom is pretty laid back minus a few clear things!<br /><br />But, nope. Just me using it. Boyfriend skeptical but impressed by the detangler and decided the overall metallic “paint” rose gold was striking, yet pretty.  He’s a die-hard boar bristle wooden brushes fan.  Lovely but this was the detangler I needed (it works) and the case and other brush/comb were a splurge. A gift to myself. Nice!<br /><br />Only I used it and never dropped it. Less than a month and the paint is flicking off and it’s night and day and looks....so cheap and damaged. I have supplies to patch up the chips and did fiddle with the chips but it was like an unraveling sweater.<br /><br />Tired of picking the flecks off the bathroom floor and pitched it all in the garbage. It’s my fault for not seeking refund as the items were defective within the return window.  Just darn irritating because none of the pieces were packed in a travel bag or a purse. Not once!  I’d cleared an entire drawer for it.<br /><br />I realized that I obviously had made a mistake and I do peruse reviews.  I was too frustrated to do anything else other than leave this review.<br /><br />It is a beautiful set. The paint shiny coating is glamorous and glossy and just too good to be true.  I do not like chipped items, overall, so it all went in the bin.<br /><br />Cannot recommend product
