Beautiful Brush Sets For Christmas 2009

If you can't stomach the thought of shelling out for brushes, then they make an excellent pressie. To get, naturally! There are three travel-sized sets on the go this year that are particularly nice, and while the handles are de-embiggened, the business end of things remains pro-sized.

We've already taken a look at Smashbox's lovely Wish for the Perfect Tools set, €50, and I think it's a cracker - check them out above right. MAC's Christmas gifts are also lovely this year and the packaging and bags are a fab deep metallic pewter that's very pretty. They have three brush sets on offer which come complete with bag, and you're looking at do-the-trick Buff and Line Brushes, €65, bottom.

Lastly, Bobbi Brown has no less than three kits available across various different collections this year too, but above left is the very cute Black Plum Mini Brush Set, €90. It contains tools for face and eyes and all brush sets above are on counter now.
