So, I know this topic has been beaten to death, and I have searched the listings (and read a ton of them) but I need advice. Having said that, if you are just going to post links to threads, most of which I have probably already read, please save yourself some time and just hit the back button.
I am planning on getting my wife some brushes as a gift. I saw the other day she was looking a large set on a website, but I didn't get to see which. She doesn't wear alot of makeup, but still loves it. She watches application videos on youtube all the time. I got her some large sets of shadows and what not from sephora and also another set from Mac. The only brushes she currently has are the ones that came with the sets and some lesser quality ones.
From my reading here, mac are the way to go for the casual to professional user if you can spend the $$. I have compiled a couple lists from user suggestions.

I have no idea what all these are for and if there is over lapping. I am trying to build a set to hit the broad range of needs. Can I get some advise on what would be the most "essential" items to place in shopping basket. Would really like to keep it under $200 if possible.
From what i have read, the pre-built sets are of lower quality than buying individual. I did see http://www.sephora.com/deluxe-tortoise-brush-set-P310412 and http://www.sephora.com/deluxe-antibacterial-brush-set-P197107 but have no real idea of what I'm looking at and if it would fit my desires. I am planning on going into our local Mac store this week to see if they have any pre built units along with the Sephora store. I do want to take care of her and get her something of good quality and that she can use for a time while building upon.
Do any of you know of a bundle set within my pricing and would fit me better than trying to piece something together? Also, what should I get to increase the longevity and use of them.
I really appreciate any advice and suggestions.
