M.A.C eye shadows brush set?

Has anyone used M.A.C Heirlooms 5 eye brushes set? Does it work as good as the original ones? Is it worth the money or should I get the original ones? I want to purchase M.A.C eye shadows brush but they are expensive buying just one brush b/c they cost anywhere from $15 to $25 per brush so I was thinking about getting the set for $48. These are the basic eye shadow brushes (209SE, 212SE, 217SE, 252SE and 275SE).





Another question: This may sound dumb but which of these brush is use for what part of the eyes? (see link from below) from top to bottom. Let me know your inputs and thanks in advance.

M.A.C eye shadows brush set?
One main difference between the "original" and SE brushes is that originals are handmade (with MAC), and SE are not. This means they have slightly lower quality, but if you're just trying the brushes out, the heirloom set is a great way to go, and usually the difference in quality is minimal (and made up for because the SE sets are alot cheaper). SE brushes also have shorter handles, but that's not a big deal.





The 209 is an eyeliner brush


212 is also a liner brush, with a flat head that can be used to "push on" color if you like


217 is a blending brush that can be used all over the lid to apply with a lighter hand and blend out


252 is just a shader brush, and can be used to apply color all over the lid


275 is also an shader brush, and can be used all over the lid, but would work well in the crease because it is angled





From top to bottom in the picture they go 252, 217, 275, 212, and 209.
