Me too - it's not just your brush. I think BE brushes are kinda sad compared to mac brushes.

Girl, it's not just you. I got the intro kit with the kabukis and the flawless brush and they all shed like crazy. That's why I sent those suckers back! The only BE brushes I own are the Heavenly Face and Eye brushes, oh and the concealer brush. Other than that, I really think they are sub-standard.

So I bought myself some foundation and mineral veil yesterday after test driving it at Sephora last night, and I'm not sure how I feel about it after wearing it for half the day today. I switched from Studio Fix to Select SPF, but with my oily skin, the Select SPF was sliding around. So I thought I'd give BE a try, and I'm still undecided.
I've got a bizarre skin type: It's oily, but I find flaky bits here and there, so I'm afraid to get something that dries me out too much. I use Mac Oil Control lotion, but I'm always afraid that it's not enough, so I use just a touch of Strobe Cream too.
Hopefully BE will work out for me; I'll give an update in a few weeks to decide whether or not I'm going to stick with it.

I am so glad I found this thread. i am treating myself to BE foundation for my birthday. I am also gonna invest in a good brush. I am torn between the kit and the foundation and a brush.
I don't know if I will want the mineral veil and warmth and the concealer brush...what to do?
i am going to spring for the cat kabuki brush too i think....maybe when it comes time to refill....i am gonna scan ebay and qvc and try to make a choice.
i am an nc 20-25 and going to get the light-fairly light 1.2-2 kit or 2.0 by itself.
i hope that is the right choice...then maybe the warmth would be good for summer....oh geez i just don't know

Also check Sephora they have some good deals.
Honestly I like Nars Laguna better than the BE warmth.

I would just get the concealer and a non-BE brush. BE brushes are crap (except for the max cov. concealer brush, which I kinda like). I'm a NW 20 and I wear Fair or Fairly Light. Light is too dark for me. Is there a sephora near you? I'd recommend trying the colors out on your skin and checking out the brushes in person. I don't really use the mineral veil, as my skin is not oily and I don't see the need for it.

I went ahead and ordered it in light/fairly light. we shall see.
Yeah i hear thier brushes are for sh*t, but i thought I would try the whole kit and if it works out for me I will invest in the cat cosmetics or bobbi brown kabuki brush
then i can see if i really care for or need the warmth and mineral veil. plus i think the concealer brush looks interesting.
thanks for the info people

Thanks to reading all the rave reviews from you ladies I went out and bought this about a month or two ago and I LOVE IT !! I will never go back to regular foundation again. This product makes my skin glow.
