I can not believe how much I absolutely love these brushes. They blend with little effort and I love the variety of brushes!
The pouch they come in is like a soft leather type of material. It has a real nice feel and folds up easily. The straps to close the case with are plenty long enough. With other brush sets I have found some of the closure straps to be inadequate.
The brushes themselves feel sturdy yet are not heavy when handling. This would be a great starter kit for teenagers or even for yourself. The price is great and I have already ordered an additional set for my aunt.
The only con I have found was the smell the brush holder had when first unpacked. It was a very strong plastic smell but went away within a hour after being unboxed
