Are there any brushes in particular you're looking at? I like using the UD shadows for cream products but my MAC products for pressed powders (eyeshadow wise anyway).

I only have one Urban Decay brush and I bought my first two MAC brushes this weekend. I got the 224 and the 217, both natural bristle blending brushes. They work magic. Worth every penny.

Mac. Because the UD Blurring Brush sheds like crazy, I wish I would have just bought Sephora's to begin with. As for other brushes though, I highly recommend BH Cosmetics, I love them, and they were cheap. I've washes them several times and they still look brand new.

I haven't tried MAC's brushes and the only UD brushes I've tried are the double ended eyeshadow brushes, that came with both the vice palettes. I do really like them though. They don't shed and have kept their shape really well and I've had the one for at least a year now. But really UD only makes a couple brushes so I feel like if you need more than just a few simple eyeshadow brushes or their foundation brush, they probably won't have much to offer as far variety goes. But I do love the double ended ones and use them quite often. In fact, I'm on the train right now and they're the two eye brushes I made sure I put in my travel makeup bag lol.

@Lili, yes I exchanged it and just gave up because the same thing happened. It was really weird, and I love UD, but I will never buy their brushes again...
