Can't buy a better brush set for 17.99 [SEP] The bag is actually very cute and convenient. It protects the brushes and gives me extra storage for my makeup supplies, which is always a plus. The brushes were much, much softer than I expected. Not to mention this was a great discounted price for a brush set.<br /><br />My only issue would be when I opened the package it smelled extremely strong, like being smacked in the face with a bunch of Sharpies. I had to let it air out for a day or two for the smell to go away.
