Now people have had a chance to properly try out their brushes, would you say it's worth getting the 139 and/or 161, or not? What are your experiences with them, and what have you used them with?

my 161 is still in the packaging. I only got it because Macy's made that error :lol: I'm curious to hear experiences too.

I really like the 139, its nice for a subtle application of MSFs / highlighters, but I don't think it's a must have if you already have something like the 187.

I really want the 139 brush for applying powder blush and powders

but still not sure about the 161.. do I really need it? my head says yes yes yes and it's LE also and my wallet is unsure since I already have 109 contouring brush but I do like the shape of it except for the dip in it but.. omg someone please help me decide :/

I'm meh on the 139, but the 161 is great for the Chanel cream blushes. I got mine for $22 each, though...not sure I would pay full price for either, especially not if I already had something similar.

I have a gift card at MAC so I could splurge on them both but they have not arrived here yet at store only online and I want some reviews first before it arrives at store

I don't use cream blush only powders and liquidy stuff on my face

I've never had much use for the 187, but I got all the new brushes. I've used them for blush/highlighter. I think they are ok, and wherther you need them or not depends on what you already have I think. The 168 is still my fave slanted blush.

I actually really like the 288! I have used it for consealer mostly and once for e/s.

Here they are 55 Euros each! Luckily I got 20 Euros off with coupons.

Yay coupons! Macy's online over here had a temporary mistake that I took advantage of. I'm surprised, but happy, they honored it.

I took advantage of it too...but I have yet to use the brush (161)

leonah · Oct 8, 2015

I just ordered the 139 brush

I'm going to wait purchasing the 161 until I see it live in store this weekend. these two brushes are honestly the only exciting thing for me with this collection. I was hoping for new mineralize skinfinishes but nah

Marsha Pomells · Oct 8, 2015

Just remembered that I purchased Great Dame... And I still haven't used it... And I destroyed my Say It Isn't So from Le Disko...

Not a good evening from London

Pure Bred is one of my favorite palettes ever. I love all the colors, they work well together, and they are so buttery. For more pigment spritz the loaded brush with fix+.

I just looked it up, that is very pretty!

Well, that's the thing. I don't have a ton of shadows, so these palettes can really work for me. If you have a bunch, it may not be worth it, or you may already have dupes that are close enough.

Yeah, I like it a lot, but I also do not mind shimmer at all, and it is very very shimmery. When I wear it, it's usually not so in-your-face, but it's definitely there.

ahhh, the shimmer is probably what will keep me away from it. It is gorgeous though.

I think that's been true for a lot of people. It would be great if they made a less-to-no shimmer version for sure.

I just got my 139 brush and it is really soft (although I'm not a brush professional) and going to order the other one now as well since I don't have anything like that brush!

leonah · Oct 14, 2015

now I also have the 161 which is even softer than the 139

to all of you who have the 161, is it a tad bit longer on one side than the other or is it just mine?
