I purchased these on a whim from HSN. For 39.95 USD I got a collection of brushes that rival MAC. So wonderful. Very soft and perfectly shaped. The handles are thick but very light and very easy to maneuver. My ONLY complaint -- I want MORE! This is an excellent starter set for someone wanting a new set of brushes. These are made in China. Here is what you get:
