Talk about PACKAGING. 

Info

The Wet n Wild Luxe Brush Collection is a 10 Piece Brush Set, made out of white synthetic bristles, that come in a very "on trend" holographic box. They are vegan, cruelty free, and gluten free. The silver, triangular-shaped handles come with a little 'divot' where you can rest your finger, as you're applying your makeup.   

These brushes retail for $30.00.

Review

While these brushes retail for $30.00, I bought them from the Walgreens website when they were specially marked for $15.00, and I am happy I paid that price because while I do enjoy these brushes, I don't believe they are worth the $30.00 price. Let's get into the good first, before I get to the bad.

The Good

-They are lightweight.

- The bristles are incredibly soft.

-They blend products out seamlessly.

- They are overall, just so pretty... haha (It pained me to watch those white bristles go all dirty after using them, ugh.)

The Bad

The ONE thing that completely makes me question the $30 price tag is... SHEDDING.

Wow, do the face brushes shed. I don't experience this with the eye brushes. I actually quite enjoyed the eye brushes and they are my favorite thing about this set. They blended eye shadow better than some of my favorite, more expensive eye brushes. But the face brushes (aside from maybe the flat contour brush) shed so much. After every application of makeup, I have to go back and pick hairs off of my face every time. It's ridiculous. But the way the brushes apply my makeup almost makes me not even care. Is shedding annoying? Yes. Will I stop using these brushes because of that? No. It just makes me question the price. I got these brushes for half the price, and quite honestly... I believe THAT should have been the price to begin with.

My favorite brushes in this set: 

-Flat Contour Brush, which I didn't expect because I usually don't use brushes like these and on top of that... I don't really contour. I used this brush to blend out cream bronzer.

-Tapered Blending Brush because it packs on eye shadow into the crease and blends it out without losing the color.

-Fluffy Blending Brush because it is a great eye shadow diffuser when I want to blend shadows above the crease or want a more "blown out" eye shadow look.

Least favorite: 

-Large Powder Brush because it sheds the most.

-Blush Brush because it sheds second most (also... I feel like it's too big to be a blush brush. I actually use it as a foundation brush).

-Precision Flat Face Brush only because I can't see myself really using this brush for anything.
