Note(s):  

• this brush collection was released for the 2013 Holiday 
• the set includes 10 full-size brushes and a keepsake "Tiger Wood Box" with lock and key closure (the closure on my box doesn't lock)
• details of what the brushes are made of are not listed in the website or in the box, however the set comes with an insert describing the intended use of each brush  
• the keepsake box and the brush handles appear to be wood
• all the brushes have the brand name on them but they don't have numbers or the name of the brush
• the brushes have a dark brown lacquer finish (some brushes were probably still wet when they were packaged because the fabric inside the box got printed on them)
• not a bad price for a decent set of brushes 
• after the first wash, the brushes with natural hair had some dye bleeding 
• these are not the softest brushes but they are not too scratchy like some of the MAC brushes
• so far, I haven't experienced shedding
