Product Focus: Kirkland 2009 Makeup Brush Set

I always try to tell myself that I have enough makeup brushes, but my greedy eyes tell me another. If you read my quick teaser post about this 2009 Kirkland Brush Set, you realized I took the picture at Costco, meaning I didn't buy it YET until yesterday. I personally don't have Costco membership but my bf's mom does so we kinda just tag along with her when she goes :P

This is retail for $19.99 and I know Kirkland has came up with surprisingly amazing value set of brushes. I personally bought their 2007 Set and did a sneak peak on their 2008 ones. They are all amazing and this year they did it again.

The set came with:

• 8 full size brushes
• 4 travel size brushes
• 2 makeup case
• 1 eyelash curler

The brushes are all synthetic, although they all look like skunk brush (real black hair & white synthetic tip). They're all SUPER SOFT and the handles are all rubberized so no slip! Here are the look of the sets.

The Makeup Cases
Large Powder Brush


Flat Top Bronzer Brush

Angled Foundation Brush

Eyeshadow Brush


Eye Blending Brush

Flat Eyeliner Brush

Eye Smudger
Brow Brush & Spooley Duo

The Travel Size Set
Comparison of the travel size (L) & full size (R) Powder Brush
The travel size on is like a mini version of full size,
can also work as blush brush I believe.

Comparison of travel size (L) & full size (R) Eye Blending Brush

The travel size one has shorter bristle but
the round heads on the same size.

It turns out the travel size one is a concealer brush
but I can't see why you can not use it as eyeshadow brush :)

Comparison of travel size (L) & full size (R) Flat Eyeliner Brush

The travel size one has shorter bristles
but they work exactly identical.

My take

• A great investment & an amazing value for the quality
• The brushes has a slightly chemical smell upon washing but it went away once it's dry
• I like the size & feel of the brush handles, they feel very sturdy
• The travel sizes set is so cute, the quality is just as awesome
• Love the "quilted" pattern on the makeup case, it looks classy & expensive
• The eyelash curler works so great, it was a nice thrown in to the set
• BUY IT !!!!!!!!!! :D
