In this MB haul, I've bought mostly brushes because I am looking for the perfect brushes for my mom. These brushes are synthetic (cruelty free, yay!) and are so affordably priced! The set on the left (look at that colour, I really like these!!) is the Set 680 - 10 Piece Vegan Brush Set - USD$45.99 now USD$22.99 (Click Here to view) I also bought some other brushes and I'd be talking/ comparing some of them later.
Some price comparisons to similiar sets:

From left to right:
Tarte Airbuki Bamboo Foundation Brush S$43,
Kent Kabuki Brush S$69.90,
MB S16 Deluxe Ultra Soft Kabuki
MB S18 Deluxe Pointed Kabuki
The Tarte's Airbuki bristles feel taut and firm - I use this with powdered foundations and they give me a HD coverage. The Kent Kabuki is really big and fluffy, but I have only used it once- it pricks my face and I dont think its suitable for sensitive skin types. These 2 brushes are on the higher end tier, when compared beside the MB Kabukis - see the price difference! I've used them too- so soft, not scratchy and they don't shed (I've only washed them once though).
In the Jar: The MB Vegan Tapered Blush Brush and Tapered Powder Brush beside my Zoeva 106 Powder Brush (Click Here to view).
In front are the Kabukis for size reference!
The MB Vegan Foundation Brush beside the Sigma Beauty (SB) Mrs Bunny F60 Foundation Brush (Click Here to view).
A close up picture of all the other smaller brushes for you to compare! They are the usuals- nothing super special but they are very soft; I will talk about a few of my favourites and some of their comparisons.
From Top down:
MB Angled Brush,
Zoeva 317 Wing Liner S$12.99 (Click Here to view),
Real Techniques (RT) Brow Brush (Part of their set- link later below).
The MB Angled Brush is like a hybrid between the Zoeva's and the RT's. The RT Brow brush is the "thickest" of this lot, so it makes picking up pigments and blending a dream, while the Z's 317 is very thin, making it perfect for a beautiful gel cat eyeliner. I use the MB Angled brush to do shadow application on my eyes like how I do with an eyeliner - just for a soft finish.
THIS! Nothing I ever own came close to RT's "flat but fluffy" Deluxe Crease Brush. You can pick shadow with the "flat side" of the brush and still be able to blend it! The MB's Oval Fluff Brush is like the ultimate dupe. Sadly, these brushes are only available in their sets and not sold individually.

Real Techniques Starter Set - S$39 (Click Here to view/ buy)
These are the other brushes I bought individually!
From Top down:
MB S18 Deluxe Pointed Kabuki,
Kicho Foundation Brush (S$20ish, from SASA - I'll check again!),
SB F86 Tapered Kabuki (bought in a set - I'll show it below),
MB Gunmetal- G8 Tapered Powder/ Blush Brush (USD$16.95),
MB Elite- E3 Precision Pointed Powder Brush (USD$16.99).
I've never thought that I could find something softer than my F-series Sigma Kabukis. Well done, Morphe! The Elite collection are seriously the softest brushes I've ever come across, and even though they are pricier than the other brushes available on MB, they are well worth the money. The Elite collection are also Limited Edition (not confirmed as of now), so grab yours just in case! But no matter what, I still love them all (in this picture)- they are the softest of the gazillion brushes I own. (I show only the good stuff I like, so I have LOADS more I just set aside and dont talk about because nehhhh they dont work for me).
Here is how Sigma's 5 Kabuki looks like, just in case you want to have something to refer to:

Left to Right (Top down):
SB E40 Tapered Blending Brush S$25 (Click Here to view),
Zoeva 228 Crease Brush S$14.50 (Click Here to view),
MB 23 Round Blender
All of them are super soft, and I use all of them diffuse shadows- they do it really nicely. However, I feel that the Zoeva one might be a TAD bit more flimsy than her other two sisters. Not that it affects performance greatly or makes a huge difference though. Alright, last brush design that I wanna show you!
Left to Right (Top down):
Real Techniques Accent Brush,
M213 Smudger Brush USD$1.99 (Click Here to view)
This is a really really teeny tiny brush to add details, and I like to use it to add a pop of colour right below my bottom waterline. I dont think I need to say more!!
Lastly, discount codes. Read Part 1 Here for discount off Morphe Brushes site! Also, I have discounts on Luxola, but I won't be sharing them on the site as its a personal discount code- feel free to contact me to ask about them though!
I hope this review helped! Comment below / email me your favourite brushes!! Don't hesitate to ask me anything - I'll try my best to answer them! Ciaoz~
