Are you overall pleased with the brushes? Would you make the same purchase if you had to do it over?

NO!!!!They shed terribly and aren't the best when trying to apply cream based products like paint pots

I would! In the past, other brushes have caused me to breakout and ended up being a waste of money. Then I found these! The price was right and the quality is great! No breakouts, brush feels great, and almost 8 months later they are still holding up great :) I use my brushes for powder foundations, bronzers and eye shadows, I would not recommend for gel liners, cream based eyeshadows or liquid foundation. Hope this helps!

My experience has been that the brushes are sold as a package and not individually.

Happy New Year. I've never had to buy any replacement brushes yet since Pretika has sent me replacement units with new brushes, so I have replacement brushes from the old units still. But I did look online and they seem to be available everywhere--online and brick and mortar stores ie. Bed Bath & Beyond. BTW, I received my free replacement charger today. Gotta love this company!

Seeing is believing and I got 2 brushes and 2 springs when package arrived so you should get the same. Also cheaper price than anywhere else so far for me :)

I got the started set over 2 years ago, I use them all the time and they still look brand new. Maybe your brushes are not original... Sorry :(

yes, that was the intent behind my purchase - i love doing nail art - these brushes are the perfect size for that sort of art... though i actually used some of them to apply face makeup once, they worked well for that, as well. the best way to use them is to place a few drops of polish on a small glass/plastic/minutely absorptive surface (i've been using magazines pages) and dip the brush to that (rather than dipping the brushes straight into the bottle). do keep in mind, these are not high-quality; they are a perfect starter set for anyone, and if they so choose to upgrade to higher quality natural brushes later, they can do so with the confidence that they will know how to utilize them to their fullest potential.

Yes the brushes are easy to remove, they just pop in and out with no issues.

Hmmm, they look blue and silver now.Maybe the blue and pink were a limited edition? I got the blue and pink brushes

The brushes themselves are excellent. The brown travel bag they came in smelled of an oil based product. The seller quickly replaced it but it still had somewhat of an oil/chemical smell. I highly recommend the brushes though they are great! No the brushes do not shed...

The brush is very good. It has a curve in it that works really well for me. If I were you, I would not hesitate to buy one.

I did experience a little shedding. I had issues with the brush falling off the handle. So I had to re-glue them.

Yes they are. They're comparable to the Sigma BeautySigmaxKabuki Brush Kit.

In my opinion they are better quality. Wooded handles as opposed to the hollow metal in R.T. and more dense. These brushes are department store quality.

My box and packaging materials were quite authentic, and the brushes I've received are fabulous and hold up.

I wouldn't suggest it, they're really poor quality. You have better luck finding fine tip small brushes at the art store, if you want a true fine line.

I would say I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the brushes for the price. Each brush is different, but also the bristles are softer or harder or fuller, depending what you are going to paint. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, definitely the same as the picture, but you'd better select an appropriate brush to your skin
