Kirkland Signature 8 Piece Luxury Collection

Hey Guys!

Recently I went to Costco to pick up a few items and I was super excited when I saw this brush set at Costco. I had recently bought the Borghese brush set in 2011 when it was available at Costco but had to return it because the product was being recalled. I believe the brush set I purchased was out in 2012 so this review may be a bit late, but it's better than nothing! So I decided to give these brushes a try since they are made by Kirkland Signature (Costco brand) and very inexpensive. 

Price: $19.99 CAD (may vary depending on your location)
Location: Costco 

Includes: 8 different brushes (powder brush, finishing brush, angled cheek brush, foundation brush, all-over eye brush, all-purpose eye brush, crease brush and dual ended angled liner brush) and a designer pouch

NOTE: the image only includes 7 brushes because I had given my sister the dual ended angled liner brush

Review:
First Impression - when I had opened the box, I noticed that the brush hairs looked very cheap (ones you would find at the dollar store) but are also very soft. They are not very densely packed like brushes you would find at Sephora or MAC and have a cheap feeling to some of them. The design of the brush makes it look luxurious and perfect for those makeup lovers. It has a gold handle with "Kirkland Signature" engraved onto every brush

The powder brush and angled cheek brush did not meet my expectations. From the package, I could not see the brush hairs properly and was disappointed by the results. Other than the looks of the brushes, these two brushes work well (would not say it is my favourite) and give you a great finish when applying powder foundation, setting powder, bronzer or blush. I tend to use the blush brush for setting my under eye and t-zone area.

Out of the 8 brushes that were in the set, my top 3 brushes would have to be the finishing brush, foundation brush and crease brush. The finishing brush reminds me of a stippling brush but more densely packed and much bigger. I absolutely love using this brush when applying my liquid foundation as it gives me a flawless finish. I find that using a dense brush like the finishing brush gives me a medium coverage oppose to just using my fingers to apply the foundation. I love using the foundation brush as an under eye concealer brush because it fits perfectly under the eyes and is easy to blend. This brush does not leave streak  marks whatsoever and does a good job. The last brush I love to death is the crease brush. Although this brush is meant for the crease, I use it to spot conceal any pimples/scars on my face. It gives you great precision and blends in beautifully with your foundation.

To summarize:

• the finishing brush is amazing for foundation/powder
• the crease brush is perfect for spot concealing 
• cheap looking brushes (brush hair)
• very soft

Overall: ★★★☆☆ 3/5 stars
