That’s a lot of brushes. Thanks Emily. This would make a great Christmas gift. Wrap them all separately and do a brush treasure hunt (like an Easter egg hunt). Sorry, I’m old and trying really hard to hard to put more fun and magic in my life. Love you and I hope they wash up well.🎃

[@emilynoel83]

that is a FUN idea!! That's my idea of a fun treasure hunt! :D With so many, the set could even be split among a couple of people. I also see it as sort of a "fresh start" brush set if someone just wanted new EVERYTHING

[@sureiseeyou]

Great idea. My daughter could use a set. I may order her 1 tomorrow. :)

[@damarisrodriguez5118]

Great idea for a girl’s holiday event. Love it!

I bought a similar set a year ago because I wanted more brushes with the angled cut. They have done SO well, after many washes!!

Watching from Tampa, still no power, but others have suffered much worse losses so I feel blessed 🩷Keeping everyone in my prayers 🙏🏻

Glad you're okay. I have been watching from Australia and very upset to see what's been happening first with Helena and then this. Actually got the sniffles worrying about you and the damage. ❤

[@Tracylyn42]

Oh boy so glad you are safe. I’m over here in St Lucie County and we had 17 tornados rip through all We’d afternoon. At 5:55 pm I looked out my front door andnsaw metal poles and as satellite dish spinning up in the air directly across the street. Screamed RUN . It was not what I was expecting. Glad you are safe in Tamps. ❤

We're all sending good vibes and prayers to our neighbors in FL, Clara- keep that great attitude!

[@Jan-uo3so]

Sending prayers to everyone in your area that has been affected. Living in Orlando it was very stressful for us waiting for the storm to make its final path in our state. Hopefully your power will be on sooner than later.

[@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55]

@@Tracylyn42 I’m glad you are ok also, tornadoes are terrifying !

[@rocki59]

I’m in Fort Myers Florida, the worst was the over 100 tornado warnings. My home was unscathed, but lots of tornado damage all around me. I’m still waiting on power to be restored, but it’s nice and cool outside. Very fortunate and blessed

[@ayikymahluv]

Love this!!! I always see these makeup products on TikTok but know that they’re paid ads. Now I can get an unbiased review 👍🏼 please do more of these!

[@emilynoel83]

yeah! let me know if there are any certain products going around that you're interested in!

[@jbbb7418]

I have NEVER EVER done this before, but by the time you finished concealer I bought the set! I do NOT need brushes, but the curiosity definitely killed this cat! 🐈 😻

[@mikahsteele]

1,000,000% agree with your assessment of eyeshadow brushes being difficult to find when seeking drugstore pricing! These seem to be a great option!

[@masuari3910]

Hi Emily. I am so happy to see you trying that brand. Here in South East Asia we use that brand since it’s good and affordable.

[@Jan-uo3so]

Love the short style on you again! Looks fantastic ❤. Hope the brush set is still available. I've been busy with Hurricane Milton, followed by a day of hurricane fatigue (yes, there is such a thing). Thankfully my home and household are safe. The windows are still boarded up and it's dark yet cool in the house. We have through the end of November to get through hurricane season. I would leave the boards up myself except it will probably not sit well with my neighbors. Even though I am a seasoned hurricane prepper, I can't imagine what the people are experiencing in the other states after hurricane Helene hit. To end on a positive note, I really enjoyed the video and your opinion of the brushes.

I’m in Plant City just got my power back today.

Would love it if they weren’t only avail thru TikTok and also curious how they hold up after several washes 😊

[@angelrose7451]

They are also available on Aliexpress and Shein. I know there's a lot of controversy about these shops but purely about the brushes, they are really great. I have a lot of Maange brushes and been using them for years. I wash them with a gentle shampoo and let them dry angled, so water doesn't affect the glue.

[@purrceys7959]

They're are also on Amazon in various configurations.

I’ve used Maange brushes for years. Love them! Of course they’re not BK Beauty quality, but I like them better then some more expensive ones. Thank you Emily. ❤

[@HopeSenn]

Emily, your eye look is fabulous and flattering! Those colors look amazing on you!

[@gailschaefer-guajardo6731]

So glad to see you use a cheaper but beautiful and functional brush set. Alter Ego brush set is a dupe for Angie Hot n Flashy. I was thinking of those. I asked you once to try those but you never reciprocated my request but "Wow, Wow" this was a great video. I am so glad you shared this as I can't afford $102- $ 124+ brush 🖌️ sets . Thanks Emily. Seeing this on Thursday the Hurricane was awful for my friends in Tampa,Sarasota Siesta Key, Port St Lucie and Vero Beach where the tornados hit. Not sure about 2 friends. We lived in Sarasota 6 miles from Siesta Key, I would have left on this past Monday. We rode out Charlie ,Frances, Ivan, and Jean and we moved to Nevada where we desperately need rain and finally our cool down is coming. It's beautiful here Oct thru early May. Awesome video 👍💯✔️❗🍁🤎🏵️👻🎃🍂🖌️🖌️🖌️

[@PodieM18]

Your new haircut is super nice Emily, love IT - it makes you look rather ethereal. Also the NYX Vintage Jean Baby palette is stunning on you. This brush set (s) look really promising, thank you for the review 💕

[@4fron4]

Resisting making beauty purchases this year but still watch all of your videos for inspiration to use my own collection. Thanks for being consistent.

[@karensonnentag1882]

I have several sets of brushes from this company, they are SO GOOD! Wash well, no shedding. They are super soft, I don't have the set in your video so excited to see your review.

[@ashleytunny]

What a deal on brushes. Thank you for the thoughtful review

[@monicapatton1405]

It would be so cool if you did an affordable series like this-of trending TikTok products-because we all know most if not all of them are getting paid for reviews so it’s hard to navigate. This was great! Totally want to buy these but travel full time in an rv and already have wayyyy more brushes than one should in an rv 😂 wish they came individually.

[@leahdisher]

Your haircut is the cutest! Love when you do the long bob ❤ stunning as always!

[@terrilaycock3789]

Looks like a great set of brushes! Great Christmas gift! Loving the new hairstyle!

I picked up one of the double sided powder brushes off Shein two months ago and I love it! I'm happy to find out there is a full kit of them for such an affordable price.

[@laurarivera1992]

I just Jessup from Amazon! They are supposed to be a dupe for Morphe. Love them! They are great for my wrinkly eyes!

[@shelleymharper]

I bought the set and I’m in love with the concealer brush! ❤ Also - I have a found that the Elf double ended brush (the bigger side) is very similar to my Sephora 56 and I use the smaller side for my nose contour. Wonderful affordable brush!

[@wombatlittle1]

I love how the whole look turned out.

[@melaniegorniak3803]

Thank you so much for reviewing these Brushes I’ve seen them all and yeah I’ve really wondered if they’re any good, yeah they may only be 25 bucks USD but for any of us outside of the U.S we all know it’s gonna be a lot more than 25 bucks for me personally in CDA . It’s almost 40 then add shipping so they need to as good as my Profusion Brushes that I get at London Drugs because Profusion Makeup that literally just hit CDA Walmart’s the prices would SHOCK you , you won’t get anything under 15 bucks mostly it’s over 20 in my Province of Saskatchewan at Walmart. I can pick up 3 piece Brush set for 5.99 at London Drugs during Christmas Shopping I just get multiple packs of my favorite Brushes ( I hate washing brushes lol) so if this set is Em approved then yes I’m definitely buying it because it’s a lot of brushes at a decent price but TBH I’m terrified to see what I’m going to pay for shipping if it’s more than the Brush set I’m not gonna buy them.

[@emilynoel83]

WOW over $20 for profusion at walmart!! That's wild!

[@melaniegorniak3803]

@@emilynoel83 , Drugstore Makeup here is extremely expensive and NYX Palette is just as expensive as high end at 55.00 dollars NO JOKE ! I have to very careful with what I buy and tbh sometimes it’s the exact same price to buy at Sephora for eyeshadow. L’Oréal Foundations are 30 dollars, I bought my Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation and Concealer at Sephora cheaper than I could buy from L’Oréal for the two products.

I love them but they are 5yrs old now. I don't own any expensive brushes. People swear by them. I really want 1 for my natasha denona cream to powder shadows as they say you need a natural brush for that formula. Considering I only own the gold palette it's not been a high priority for me. Lol.

[@carolsullivan2599]

Amazing quality for less than a single high end brush! Also, the new haircut is a perfect length - it moves as you turn your head, but even an additional 1/2 inch will make the length land on your shoulders and halt the “swing”. This is just my opinion but as the owner of a bob, I speak from a bit of experience. Let Mom keep it trimmed to this length and I predict you’ll be attached to it. You can still put it up. Great decision, imho🥰
