I recently got three of these brushes at TJ Maxx for very low prices (clearance). Two eyeshadow and one powder. Two out of three are great. The third ES brush isn't that useful to me. It was one of those cases where the price was so low I thought I'd regret it if I left it there. I don't know if these will last as long as more expensive brushes. I've had a bobbi brown brow brush and an armani foundation brush for years and years. but for these prices they don't have to last that long.
