i have the same one and mine isn't that great..!
it still sheds a little after each use.. (maybe about 3 hairs each time) and i dun find it soft enough =\
i dun have 靚 brushes either ah! all my larger brushes are NOT brand name ga
but i was reading on make up alley and on other sites.. it seems like CS does have a quality control problem. i see some reaaaaaally superb reviews and some "bleh" reviews
