    Thanks for the follow. Following back now & great post! It's good to see someone with a wide array of brushes. Would you say the Mac brushes are worth the extra money? My fav is RT

    No problem, thank you :) If I'm honest, I think MAC brushes are overpriced. They are good, but there's definitely cheaper alternatives out there. I've just bought some Crown Brushes for my kit, and I *think* I may have dupes for the 217, 219, 239 and 244! I'll test them out a bit and do a comparison post :)
