I don't know how new these brushes are, but I just discovered them for the first time yesterday while I was looking for something else. I was pretty intrigued, Wal Mart now has a whole section dedicated to makeup brushes, even Revlon has a whole line there too. Except they were more expensive, and also the handles were really long, they kind of reminded me of paint brushes....a little too long though.
But these however really caught my eye, due to the color of the bristles, and also the words "High definition" on the label
(sorry the color quality is not very good, i don't know what's up with my camera!)
The package says that they are made to be used with high definition makeup
I got this set which costs about $11.98 I believe. It came with a concealer, foundation, mini powder, and angled blush brush, plus a small zippered mesh travel bag to store them in.
Angled blush brush
Foundation brush
Concealer brush
Mini powder brush (to set your concealer)
I also got this Powder brush, which was separate, I think it cost around $6.98
Here's a close up so you can see the texture
The packaging is also kind of useful, the brushes came in these plastic cases with snap closures, which will be good for storing...stuff. Well I don't know what yet, but I'll think of something :)
So...what do I think of them?
I looove them! They are suuuuper soft! Like ridiculously soft! I couldn't stop from rubbing them across my face, even before I had even used them for my makeup!
As for application, they work great too! The bristles are dense enough to pick up lots of pigments and distribute them evenly and they are not scratchy at all.
I haven't washed them yet so I am not sure if they will shed or not....I hope not because so far I can't find anything wrong with them!
It just goes to show that not everything has to cost an arm and a leg to work good! :)
