I got in and stripped the makeup off my face as quick as I could and threw my hair up into a bun ready to test them out! Hmm.
It wasn't that I didn't like them but something wasn't right. At first I honestly thought maybe they were fakes. Then I remembered I hadn't bought them off eBay and they were from FeelUnique so had to be the real deal. I felt really down about it as I thought the powder brush was to small, the foundation brush didn't blend it to my skin and the concealer brush was too.. too.. I'm not sure but it wasn't what I was expecting. I went to work and noticed that my skin didn't have the same texture or coverage I usually get from my Mac make-up. Its a shame because the brushes look so cute in their little carrier case/stand.
I went home and decided that i wasn't going to give up as so many people had used them and loved them so maybe I just wasn't using them right. I decided not to follow Sams instructions for use and use the ones I thought would do a better job.
I use my old concealer brush (which is actually a eye shadow brush) that I
picked up from Asda for about £2. I just find its much softer and spreads the concealer much easier. ---->
The 'pointed foundation brush' I actually use to blend my concealer with (meant to be for foundation, obviously). If once using my concealer brush i still have an uneven look, i will use this to get a better blend. It works really well. (<---below)

The 'contour brush' I use as my foundation brush (meant to be for blushers and highlighters). It gives a much much much much much better blend and coverage and its softer and smoother to get a really natural look. <---------
Since having ordered the starter pack of brushes I went out and bought the powder brush and the blusher brush. These two were a million times better. They were softer, lighter and far better quality on my opinion. (Below ------->)

Would I recommend this to anyone? Maybe. I think for those who aren't that into make up, stick to what you know. Those who like to have a collection of brand and change your routine every week (like me) I would say yes. You may have to find what works best for you but overall they weren't too expensive and it's quite a nice little treat for your self.
