Cheap Chic - The Alternative to Mac Brushes + MAC Shadow Dupes

                                   [I love EnKore's Videos]

This weekend I plan on sprucing up the makeup bag a little bit, and start branching out of my comfort zone; I want to play around with different colors, and maybe even some drugstore brands. Last night I was online pricing makeup brushes, and I let out a "oh hell no"! - I don't mind spending money on quality products, but for a noob like me, spending a few hundred on some makeup brushes is completely out of the question. I am also the kind of girl that doesn't have to have the name brand, I am all about what works.

Apparently these Lowe Cornell brushes are all the rave, and I am the last to know! For those of you that are interested in the brushes, but can't bring yourself to watch the 9 minutes of video, I have listed the Mac brushes, and the "Craft Store" dupes [I would suggest Michael's or even JoAnn's Craft Store] for your convenience.

Too bad I can't find a MAC 217 dupe. I have really been looking everywhere and it seems as though I may have to break down and buy it. If any of you out there have an recommendations, please let me know! THX!
