I won't make this review a long one  and I did have a picture of all the brushes for you guys but I seem to have deleted it so will upload one, once my brushes have been cleaned :) So lets get started....

Before you start using any new brushes its vital to clean give them a good clean, so to do this I used the MAC Brush Cleanser. (Pictured above) Firstly the Brush Cup Holder.... I was mega excited to get my hands on this, specially at the fact that its not available here in the UK. It looks good, stores a lot of brushes and is really convenient. It does take up a lot of space so now I use it to hold my personal brushes. 
The E40 Tapered Blending is one of my favourite brushes out the lot. Its an amazing blending brush for your eyelid crease or your concealer. However the size of the brush will make it harder to use on smaller eyelids. 
The E45 Small Tapered Blending is another great brush for blending and also creating a cut crease. 
The F23 Tapered Face was a brush I wanted for a very loooong time. Its perfect to use as a powder brush for your face, more for setting than blusher as its really big and super soft.
The F35 Tapered Highlighter is great for.... highlighting :) its the perfect size and as all the other brushes, super soft. Its also great for soft contouring of the face. 
The F80 Flat Kabuki is my new favourite foundation brush!! It perfectly blends the foundation into your skin and really leaves an airbrush feel. 
The F82 Round Kabuki another great foundation brush and works well blending around the nose and under the eye area. 
And lastly the Synthetic Precision Kit, a great set that has many different uses. The P80 & P82 are great brushes for blending in your concealers, correctors. I've used them with my cream concealers and I love it! The P84 & P86 are ideal for contouring and also great for highlighting. The P86 is perfect to contour the nose... which I need a lot :(


The Goodies.....again :)
I also received a freebie pictured below. Part of their eyeshadow palettes, which I want soooooo bad. The colour I received is Shine, which is a shimmery black with specks of silvery glitter... I think. Haven't used it yet, but thank it will look sexy as a smokey eye look. :)
