After watching a MAC show this weekend, I decided to try the Studio Radiance Face and Body Foundation with Brush.  The cost for the Foundation and Brush is $42.  My color is on waitlist and I was just wondering, since this is my first MAC purchase is the brush worth the $7 cost?  I can buy the foundation onthe MAC website for $35.

OMG YES!  That brush is worth way more than $7.00  I have 2 MAC brushes I've had for at least 20 years and they are still perfect.

@MrsCat21   You can buy a beautiful brush by Real Techniques.  I own a few and they never shed their bristles and wash beautifully.  You will have forever.  Check it out at ULTA, maybe Target too.

Complexion Brush $8.99 at ULTA

@MrsCat21 Mac is my favorite brand for makeup & I love so much of what they have.

I did not like that brush. I like a brush that buffs my foundation on, but that is my opinion.

I also hate that foundation, but it is probably the most loved foundation that Mac makes.

You can certainly take a chance on trying it knowing that you can pay to try it & return it, if you don't like it.

If Mac artists like that brush with that foundation I would think it was worth a try.

I've been wanting to try the Real Techniques brushes.  I love their sponges and they are (in my opinion, of course), way better than BeautyBlender.

The Radiance is the new MAC Face and Body.  It's not the same formula as the original that was SO well loved.  There are a lot of unhappy MAC F&B women over the new formula.  I wanted to try it right about the time they came out with the new version but after reading the complaints and not being able to figure out the coloring chart, I gave up.

I'm watching a Jessica Braun video and she's talking about the new MAC Studio Face and Body.  She also is one that doesn't like it as much as the original.  

the best & worst makeup I've tried recently

@SurferWife   Real Techniques has excellent products for reasonable prices.  I use the egg shape facial sponge all the time.

@monicakm  Just a fun fact-I think around 2005 a 4 oz bottle of F&B Foundation was $11.

Mac mascaras were $10.

Thank you ladies!  I cancelled my order.  I think I might try Mally's new foundation instead.
