Hi guys! Welcome to another entry/review.

Before anything else, let me share something to you guys.
So I have been looking for a great yet inexpensive makeup brushes since the day I started my makeup addiction. I don't have that much, simply because I am still a student and doesn't earn income yet. Finding the one I am looking for is really tough. Why? Mainly because, Singapore has one of the highest living standards and is one of most expensive cities in the world. Well, I think that explains why looking for a great yet inexpensive makeup brushes is really tough.

The 2 sets I've purchased before were not that excellent. Kinda regret buying them but, if I wait a little longer, I don't have brushes to apply my makeups.

"We don't start with something good straight away. We earn it and we learn from it."
Does that make any sense?

Recently, I have been wanting to get Sigma Brushes, but don't have $$$ to buy.
And, guess what? I finally got it, but with a different brand yet Sigma-like brushes. Yes, you read it right, SIGMA-LIKE BRUSHES.

Introducing the "MAKEUPBYTONI 'HOPE' Series 12-Piece Brush Set".
It was around May/June if I am not wrong when MakeupbyToni informed me that she will be releasing her very first brush line on August. I was happy at that moment and pretty excited.

After launching it, I finally received them. I can say, the quality is really really really excellent. I am not exaggerating it, but trust me, The brushes are really excellent and cheaper than any other high end brushes. I bet you can tell that by the looks of it without touching them. I've seen Sigma brushes and Toni used Sigma when she did my makeup for her portfolio shoot. How many times have I said very Sigma like brushes? Not convinced yet?
Watch Say's review about the MBT Brushes, a beauty guru in Youtube. She compared Sigma and Hope brushes. Click here.

So let me share with you the brushes:

The Brush roll is dark blue in colour. Made from Synthetic Leather

MAKEUPBYTONI's name outside the brush roll.

It has 12-piece brushes and a free travel size tapered blending

Part of the set's uniqueness: they have the brand's name on the brushes in holographic lettering

; the name and number of each brushes on the other side of the handle in silk print and in a very feminine font. See how much love and effort Makeupbytoni put in?

Each brush is called "H__" (i.e: H01 Powder) With the H representing the "Hope Series".

The bristles of the brush are made from synthetic nylon. The bristles don't fall out easily, or should I say, no bristle fall-outs after you've washed it (deep clean). Still in the same condition after washing them.
