When I saw the kit in person I wasn't sold, but then I did my makeup and was pleasantly surprised.
I used the Duo fiber face brush for buffing liquid foundation in. My foundation literally looked like skin, no strokes, no visible colour transitions. Pretty awesome.
Then I took the angled brush to shape my eyebrows, this is a thicker brush and I wasn't sure if it will give me a good result. But it did, it kind of applied shadow and blended it at the same time leaving natural looking brow. Success!
I didn't use the big angled brush for contouring, because I prefer smaller and more precise ones. This one worked as blush brush for me. It didn't WOW me, but it applied my blush nicely.
What did WOW me was an eyeshadow blending brush, so soft and gentle yet very effective.
The shader brush was good, too.
And I never used flat foundation brush, because I don't like them. I guess if I wanted to be fancy I could use it for applying my moisturizer.
The kit is quite small and perfect for travelling, it has everything you need. Well, almost. I also threw a retractable lip brush there and now I am all set for travel.
In my second order I got several eye brushes and they are my favorites from all 3 orders. I don't know how I managed get so lucky with my choice taking into account millions and millions of brushes on their website. I love them and use them everyday now:
M440 Pro Angle Shadow $3.99 - perfect for shaping the outer V.
M431 Precision pencil crease $3.95 - OMG how did I live without this brush before!!! Great for outer V precise color application.
M411 Pointed blender $4.85 - the best precision blender brush ever. It is so tiny, an it blends your shadows like nobody's business.
MB13 Deluxe blending fluff $5.95 - I swear to God, if you only had this one brush, you could still do an amazing eye-look. It is quite flat, so you can use it for applying eyeshadow all over your lid and then blend with a fluffy tip.
IB125 Metal eyelash definer $1.36 - it was on sale and it is always good to have one.
When I was ready for my third order (that was quite soon), I wanted to try both face and eye brushes:
IB101 Chisel dome deluxe powder $5.58 - great quality face brush for such price? yes, please! It is gigantic, I have never seen such a big powder brush before, all you need is 2 swipes to powder the entire face. Plus it is super duper soft. When I opened my package I probably spent about 5 minutes swiping my face with this brush because it felt so nice!
M160 1\4 Angle liner $1.97 - synthetic brush, waaaaaaay to thick for eyeliner, but great for outlining eyebrows and lips with concealer
M409 Angle definer $3.29 - this one is thin enough for gel eyeliners
B75 Flat Liner $2.49 - I was hoping to use it to push eyeliner right to the roots of the lashes, but it is waaaay to thick for that. It worked great applying eyebrow shadow giving me the same great result as the angle brush from the travel kit. It will also be great for lower eyelid.
M438 Pointed contour $9.99- I have been dying to have a brush like that for a long time for applying setting powder under eyes. Now I have it and it is great!
S94 Mini buffer\contour $11.25 - initially I wanted to get G6 because Jacklyn Hill was raving about it, but it was out of stock, so I chose a similar one. I don't have an opinion on it yet, I only used it once. I still like my beauty blender so much....
BK43 Large pointed crease $3.17 - this is an older sister from my favorite M411, slightly bigger and stiffer.
M407 Jumbo shadow $3.89 - big ass shadow brush to throw your vanilla shade all over the lid. Also works great as contour brush.
M441 Pro Firm blending crease $4.95 - dupe for MAC 217 brush only slightly softer
M330 Blending crease $5.99 - dupe for Sigma E40. Love it!
M412 Deluxe pointed blender $4.95 - weird brush, it is slightly angled, thus the shape of the brush is funny looking. Also this is the only brush that was bleeding black color during first wash. I only washed it ones, I hope this will eventually end. Pretty much another bigger blending brush that I could probably live without.
I am really impressed by the quality and softness of the brushes. A lot of people are complaining that the handle is cheap plastic, but I don't care, brush itself is more important. The brushes I have didn't shed, I washed them several times already and they keep their form and continue doing their awesome job.
A+ to Morphe brushes. I think every girl shall have brushes from them.
