  1. The Hello Kitty one is so pretty! I love it! and the Dior one is gorgeous and so feminine I would love to carry that around with me. I bought a set of Quo travel brushes a year ago and I really really love them. Their brushes are very soft and such amazing quality, I wash mine on a regular basis and they haven't shed at all!

  2. Lisamarie,
    Do you know if the Quo travel brushes are soft? The skin around my eyes is very sensitive and can peel if I use even slightly scratchy brushes. :(
    This is terrible as I'm trying to master the art of blending and I can practice once or twice with the lightest of hands before my lids start feeling sore. I don't know how much lighter I can blend!

    ps What are your favourite travel brushes? -- they don't have to be one of the above.

    Thanks for your help!

  3. I find Quo brushes are really good quality and quite soft - of course my skin isn't sensitive so you should feel them for yourself! My favourites are actually a mix of different brands - I use Cover FX foundation, Lancome powder, Smashbox blush, Quo liner/eyebrow, Quo eyeshadow and MAC lip brush - no loyalty whatsoever! ;-)

    Best, Lisamarie

  4. The Hello Kitty set is so expensive, but if I had a ton of money, I would definitely get it :D

  5. I appreciate you taking the time to write back, Lisamarie. :)
    I will go in and check them out for myself. It will be a reward for finishing my Proposal. I hear that travel versions of MAC brushes pale in comparison to their full-sized versions. Are Quo brushes like this too? Do the travel brushes/regular brushes shed? Do you know if the bristles are hand-cut or machine-cut?

    My apologies for bombarding you with so many questions. The SDM website tells me little. :D

  6. No worries! Agreed, MAC travel sizes suck. Quo brushes are hand cut, I have had ones that were great and ones that did shed but I guess sometimes you just get a bad one! In my opinion certain travel brushes can just never be as good as full sized ones regardless of the brand - like powder ones - powder brushes need to be big and fluffy and travel ones just never are! HTH!

    Best, Lisamarie
