Not a big one, I had $10 to go to my local drugstore and get some things to try out. I had made a list after going through pinterest, elf's site, and blogger reviews but unfortunately they didn't have any of the items. So these are what I ended up getting instead.

I have had some ELF shadow brushes for a few years now and they hold up really well. Nice Haul.
I actually have most of these brushes by MAC but I wanted to try these cheaper versions after people said they were really great. My so got me a Coastal Scents set last year and it was horrible. All of them broke after 1 use.
Quoting Zadidoll:I dislike their brushes - least the $1 and mineral ones - because those fall apart so easily. Just make sure to have super glue on hand.
Coastal Scents old brushes were not made by them and were made in China. Their new brushes are made "in house" (not sure if that means in the US though) but that said I haven't tried the new brushes. I want to order the new set but at $60+ is iffy for me. I'll have to wait and see if they're at a trade show again since they weren't at IMATS LA this year.
Have you tried Bdellium Tools? I love their brushes.
Nice Haul. My first brushes were Elf. I still have them. Shadow brushes are great. And if you can get your hands on the $3 Studio "c" brush buy two, awesome. Thinking of buying some new Blush & bronzers , looking at Antigua and Turks & Ciaos let me know reviews.
