Brushes are good, soft to the touch, and what pleased me besides their quality is that they are really matte. As was ukaano in the description to the product sponge which was supposed to come as a gift is also available, delivery a little more than a month. About the sponge that i mentioned earlier, it's just gorgeous, it's like velvet to the touch, in fact i did not try because i took it myself. All 20 brushes are in place. Packed in a simple gray bag, but everything is fine and all the brushes came in whole.
