and maybe get a brush carrying case from either MAC or Coastal Scents.

a brush case would be your best bet.
i have one from ULTA that works great for me.
my first instinct was to get one from MAC, but $45 was a little steep for me >_<
but a good affordable brand to check out is Japonesque.

Yep...brush case would be your best bet...and I agree about the Body Shop brushes...they're woooonderful...:-)

If you need a good way to carry your brushes till you can get a good case...have you got an old silk scarf that you don't use anymore? Take the scarf and roll your brushes, one by one, into the scarf...put one down, roll a couple times...put another down...roll...etc. Fold the ends over before you get to the last bit of scarf and then tuck that part around...wrap them up tight...smoothing the bristles as you go along...and if you wrap it tight enough, your brushes will come out just as smooth and frazzle free as they were when you put them in. This is how I transported my brushes on their trip all the way to Australia and back, so I guarantee that it works.

I just hope I explained that right...it'd be kind of like rolling up a burrito...but less messy...;-)

Oh...secure the bundle with a piece of ribbon or string...don't wanna forget that...

You could attempt to make your own case. I think it would be very similar construction to a knitting needle case. www.knittingonthenet.com/patte...se.htm

Side note -- don't ever feel like you need to spend mucho $$$ on "high-quality" (ie, brand-name) brushes in order to have good makeup brushes. Buy the natural-bristle brushes at any art store for $3-5 a pop -- they work just as well & last just as long...for a fraction of the cost!

Coastal Scents on-line sells makeup brush roll cases for a pretty reasonable price. Also, side note, their makeup brushes are fabulous and very inexpensive.

I carry a lot of make-up and jewelry. I pack them all in a tackle box, which has a handy little tray that the brushes fit in nicely! Also, to keep the bristles nice, you can make a bristle sleeve out of straws and tubing..... that way they won't get crushed in your bag or box.

I put my brushes in a pencil tin. It's long and flat, but I think you can get them in varying sizes and they have cute designs on them. Mine's from London with the tube station logos on it. :}
