So last night I was set on purchasing real techniques.
But after some recommendations I have decided on costal scents.
I want the 22 piece set and I'm wanting to purchase some individuals as well.
So I'm wondering which individual brushes should I get that aren't in the set I'm buying.
I really don't know much about brushes. Lol.
Thaaaank you ahead of time. :)

:( lol. Really? Oh man. I hate trying to buy brushes. I don't wanna spend a million dollars on them. & I am super indecisive. Once I think I make up my mind I get persuaded otherwise. Lol. What to do. What to do.

Honestly I love them. I bought the 22 piece set and the only thing that I found was missing, was a thin liner brush, but it comes with a bunch of angled brushes.

I'm kinda in a rush. After I ask my wife if I can buy makeup and she says yes I have to get to it quick before she changes her mind. (She just doesn't understand the whole me always buying makeup thing cuz I rarely wear it, she always insist I buy clothes instead) lol. But yes I may do the real techniques. Since at least I can to to the store and get a better feel for them. Lol. I really don't know. I may end up buying none cuz I don't wanna waste.
@Alyx I use pencil anyways. I have my fluidline but I haven't mastered the winged liner so I avoid it all together. Lol. So that set may work. :)

See, that's odd. I find them to be really soft. Though before I was using random drug store/dollar store brushes. But I found the stiff/roughness of the bristles went away after a couple washes, it softened them a lot. I've had them for 2 almost 3 years now and though I just bought a new set, it really was a great set and now my sister has them and loves them too.

I'm sure it's up to personal preference too. A lot of people say the ecotools brushes are amazing and soft. But I find them to be pretty stiff!! I'm truly lost at what to do now. I may just give up on brushes. Lol.

The first real brush set I brought was the 22 piece set from them about 2 or 3 years ago. I still use them to this day. I've never had a problem with the softness or anything like that. My favorite brush that isn't in the set is Coastal Scents Pro Blending Fluff. I have about 3 of those from that company alone. Real Techniques has nice soft brushes which I also love. My go to favorite brushes are from Sedona Lace. I always stock up during Black Friday when they have crazy sales.

I also heard that Morphe Brushes are good too. 

Here's a recent review of the brush set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhfwEnZXj0.

@Atiyah I had the pro bleeding fluff in my cart as well. :) maybe I will just wait for the costal scents until they have a good sale!!
@Sandra you may have just saved the day. Lol. I'm going to check those out!! & yeah I've actually used their "shadow & concealer" brush to apply powder to my brows because they have such a stiff/straight edge. Lol.

& totally off topic but Sandra have you had the baby? :)

Definitely subscribe to their mailing list. They always have some sort of sale going on. But I believe in the video link I put above, the girl has a coupon code to get the brush set for $20.

I recommend buying their Elite brush set. Kitty K, recommends their brushes as well. I love them, the are soft, but firm, full and they don't shed. Great quality brushes for a very good price. The eliteset, is a set of their best brushes for 69$ I believe, totally worth it.
