    I just saw makeup brush set on groupon Professional 32-Piece Make-Up Brush Set for €22.99 (69% Off). It does not really provide much detail about them. I am wondering is this a bargain or a complete waste of money. By the lack of information provided I am kinda thinking the latter!!

    I would imagine they are synthetic and quite poor quality at that price. Decent brushes are made by hand and are usually made from goat/pony hair. I've never really bought a single brush for less than around the 20euro mark. I'd be wary if I were you!

    I don't agree with the above that all good brushes must be natural hair and must cost a lot. There are some really good brushes out there that are quite cheap, Eco tools, Real Techniques, Elf's studio brushes etc.

    Saying that tho bad cheap brushes are an awful lot more common than good ones. Since the site doesn't give you any information about brand I wouldn't risk it.

    For a similar price on iHerb you could pick up these two sets:
    http://www.iherb.com/EcoTools-Bamboo-6-Piece-Brush-Set-1-Set/25451
    http://www.iherb.com/EcoTools-Fresh-Flawless-Complexion-Brush-Set-5-Piece-Brush-Set/46977

    It's only 11 brushes if you buy both for a similar price to the groupon deal, but they cover most needs and come with a high recommendation from a lot of people.
