Make-up brushes

A dad here in need of a little help.

Following excellent advice from MN, I took teenaged DD to a Bobbi Brown place to have a makeover done for her birthday, getting on for over a year ago now.

It was a very successful experience, and the folks there were great - she is now looks really good every day, and significantly many shades less orange than most of her friends.

Christmas, however, is now coming and she is dropping hints about wanting some proper make-up brushes. So, I had a look at the bobbi brown website. Wow! How expensive?

When we were at Bobbi Brown I remember the people saying that their brushes were excellent and would 'last for life'. I would appreciate opinions on whether there is any justification at all in spending this sort of money? Are they really that good? And/or would they really last a lifetime, or is she going to want another set in a couple of years time?

Thanks for any comments you may have.

Apologies for awful spelling in the last post. That will teach me to read through before posting!

Be very wary of buying "cult brand" brushes on eBay. There are a lot of fakes on there. Generally speaking, if the price of them looks way too good to be true it probably is!
