My sister got one of those for christmas. It has a roll up brush case and a whole bunch of brushes. I felt them, and they were definitely not as nice as MAC, but for the price, I think they were a great deal.

a word of caution about costco. just because one location has a product it doesn't mean that all of them do. they're tricksy like that. during the 8 months I worked there I got a lot of shit from members for it.

Also, this item was at our Costco in November/December of 2005. They definitely don't have any now. They sold out pretty fast.

I got mine today. It was 17 and change and it came with 12 brushes (including a kabuki), an eyelash curler (which I don't need) and the brush case. It's pretty damn soft, but some of the brushes are made for people with really tiny faces (like the foundation brush). Overall, I'm impressed.

I can't find my charger, but it's clear handled (except for the lip brush) and comes in this metallic-lavender brush roll (kind of like the color of Idol Eyes). This is what's in it (and I'll try to compare it to a MAC one)


Powder Brush (129- all over face brush, but kind of smaller)
Angled Brush (168, but again, small)
Foundation Brush (190, but teensy compared to it)
Brow/Lash Groomer
Eyeshadow Brush (looks like a 213, but longer bristles. It'll probably be good for a wash)
Precision Eyeshadow Brush (259)
Angled Eye Contour Brush (uhm, really not anything like it that I know of. It's a tiny, tiny shadow brush, but once I washed it, it doesn't really look "angled" anymore

Flat Eyeliner Brush (212)
Eye Smudger (202 or any disposable spongy top)
Fine Eyeliner Brush (211)
Lip Brush (it's a lip brush. Nuff said. The handle can come apart and be a short handle with a cover.
Bronzer (Kabuki)
Eyelash Curler

Honestly, there's some splaying that I'm seeing (they're drying from a bath), but this will make a great travel set, especially when I go to my boyfriend's house.

i got this brush set like 2 weeks ago and i think you get really really good quality brushes for the price like seriously.
I have around $1000 of professional brushes and these go nicely with it.
and thats alot to say for being only 20$
and the roll case is soo cute looks almost like a juicy purse in metallic silver with a magnetic clasp.
the only problem i found with it is that the bag is too small to hold all the brushes haha

but thats not really a problem for me

and with the eyelash curler they also include extra refill pads i thought that was nice.

Pictures of Costco Make up brushes

I know I'm about 4 month late with the pictures

but we didn't have these available at my Costco (in Toronto) until just recently. It's unopened because I'm planning on giving this as a Christmas gift for my best friend. Looks awesome and it was only like $22cdn!

It says it's by Borghese, so I think the quality should be decent

Oh Borghese is a real brand? I thought it was just a brand that Costco/Kirkland kind of...made up? I don't know, just something like their own cosmetic brand.

Anyway, I have that set, I think I payed around $18 and I love it =) I'm not sure what its called but I use the short, stubby e/s brush, and its great. Although the kabuki and blush/powder brushes are not fantastic, I can live with them. Also the eyelash color is weird, I'll stick to my Revlon one. But it's a great value =)

Thanks girls for the great tip on this brush set. I stopped by my Costco this morning and picked up a set for my daughter. I already got her the MAC #150 for Christmas but I am taking her to Mexico in Feb so the Costco set with the case will be perfect for that.
