that's what I'm sayin'! I liked a couple of the eye brushes but when I saw the price, I backed far away. same with Shu brushes.

and if you touch some of them you're like "And you're $50....WHY?????!"

i'd rather use mac/sephora brand silver brushes.

Out of curiosity, did the term 'kabuki' brush come from Kabuki the MA ?

the term Kabuki comes from the fact that they are styled after traditional brushes from Kabuki theatre.

Jemma kidd makes a brush just like the botan one, its cheap and really nice.
And most art stores sell 'water colour wash' brushes exactly like the ita one, maybe softer, but essentially the same thing. And theyre only $2 each. I use one for contouring and love it.

dang, they're pretty but so damn expensive!!!

Those are really nice. If I were rich, I'd definitely get the big one! And the small one too, because hell, I'd be RICH! Unfortunately, I'm not rich, and I already ordered the Tarte kabuki brush from Sephora.

I have the botan,it was worth the money,its the fattest,most dense bruse ever. It feels just like the top of a cats head. I just want to sit and pet it,its so sexy. It's goat hair,its soft,you can use it all over your body,it washes well in shampoo and does not shed.

Im in LOVE with the 2 new kabuki brushes. They are the greatest most versatile brushes ever. Expensive, but worth every penny IMO

I agree they are so expensive but they feel so soft, I couldn't part with the money but my friend bought one and she loves it.
