I really wish when they air make up kits that they would have two options. One with the Brushes and one without. I would probably purchase more kits with this option. I have all the brushes I need and I am sure many of you do too.

I said the same thing the other night. How many brushes do we need? Lol. I have enough for a lifetime.

IT Cosmetics is one that puts the same brushes in kits over and over again like their double ended brushes. I gave all those double ended brushes away as I do not like them. Now I only buy their CC cream by itself.

I agree!  I haven't even used the brushes that came with kits I've recently purchased

because the ones I do use have been broken in and work fine. 

 

I would also like to see OVC offer smaller individual trial sized cosmetics and skin care items so that we don't have to make a huge investment just to see if we like a product

and then having to go through the hassle of a return, should it not be to our liking.

Offering a smaller size would at least give us the incentive to purchase too.

I have yet to purchase anything in the jumbo packaging that seems to be the way they do it now.

The brushes are so overpriced individually compred to their actual production costs that it's nothing for the companies to include them in the QVC sets.  Yes, after a while if you regularly buy sets you can end up with a lot of duplicate brushes.  What I do is include some of the (sealed) unused ones in gift bags when I out together a makeup gift  for someone. If it's a young girl who's been buying most of her makeup a la carte at the drugstore and beauty stores where they don't sell sets with brushes, she's usually grateful to get them.

I must be one of the rare ones who looks forward to the brushes in kits. I rarely purchase brushes separately & there are a few styles (mostly for eyeshadows) I could definitely use more of. But the ones in the kits are not always ones I want, need, or even like so I agree that an option without the brushes would be great.
