I prefer this to the real techniques mini set, as I can use all the brushes. How cute they are aside, these brushes are great for travel and on the go. The eyeliner brush is the same as in the 5 piece set, with the same thin line application, the blush brush is a bit small, but still functions well. The eyedshadow brush is a little pokey, comparable to the petite shader brush in the 6 piece set, but will function in a pinch. Its rather unfortunate that this was limited edition, as I think this is so useful.

A great set for people who want to have on the go brushes for touch ups. They give you an eyeliner brush (slanted), eyeshadow brush, and a powder/blush brush. While the handles are small, the brush itself is the same size as the regular ones. The bristles are so soft and they're pretty sturdy and I experienced no shedding so far.
