I almost got those hourglasses brushes when sephora was having the vib chic sale especially cuz you said they picked up the new ED blushes real well but i have the synthetic angled blush brush from sephora and thought that would do the trick, now i want it! its hard to find nice synthetic brushes. Whats the one in btw the hour glass and mac 129?

That is the hakuhodo one. J5543 (TF dupe), did you have this one or were you contemplating purchasing it? Hourglass #2 brush is great! I use it for foundation and when I clean it, I use it for ED blushes. Such a pretty blush brush! I want their concealor brush?

I know brushes can be expensive. But as Wayne goss said...you can create a great look with a quality brush and cheap makeup verses the other way! I don't use cheap makeup, but I've always loved a quality brush. Which is why I'm always open for new brands and doing my homework before purchase. I don't know what sigma is so popular... Their brushes just don't do it for me! I hate that F80 brush. lol

i heard that one F80 is hard to clean, ugh i dont have it i didnt buy from them for a long time becuz of all the biased reviews and becuz how they copied Mac, I wouldnt rock a fake LV so why would i buy fake mac right? I finally did buy their perfromance kit becasue nobody really makes tiny brushes like that and i have smaller eyes so they work out real well for me. I have the concealer precision kit too but for foundation/concealer my #1 love is the beauty blender! I hear the sigmax line is a PITA to clean up.I can only imagine what your makeup collection is likeI know brushes can be expensive.

Oh! I thought of you today while shopping at nordstroms (he he) only becuz i know you like to contour too, have your tried Kevyn Aucouin makeup? I finally got to see his shaping powders to countour! OMG no warmth in it at all! and they make in more than one shade but i couldnt find another shade besides medium online or the counter (weird), anyways its waaay dark enough for me becuz im an NC40 and im on the tanner side but to contour and i only had to use the slightest bit! OMG I am so in love with this scupting powder, it creates that "shadow" so well.

I see you enable others easy! lol I will check it out! I've heard a lot reviews about the Kevyn Aucouin! I will have to see for myself! I just purchased my first burberry shadow. I'm huge NARS fan at heart. Love their shadows and blushes! But I do need to branch out from my comfort brands lol How long is your flight typically when heading bk to Japan? My husband is on deployment rt now, his carrier just left N Korea...but Im looking forward to arrival bk to the states too! I was never much into makeup when I was active duty, but that's cool you keep your passion for it with no regards to military life

well i dont have a lot of people to share it with so i usually leave my enabling to makeup lovers on this forum or instagram lol, I have bought so much here tho, I am afraid of what I will have when i take it all back ahhh. Its not that bad tho, all my makeup fits in 2 muji drawers but now i may have to buy one of those orignal beauty box to store it all (clearcube dupe).I was never much into makeup when I was active duty, but that's cool you keep your passion for it with no regards to military life
I looove nars blushes, and sheerglow is a winner for me too. I recently got into their e/s and velvet matte pencils! I never got their brushes becuz they appeared expensive at first but now i have so many that i have just got what I was missing from my brush collection. I recently got into MUFE and Sugarpill for their matte e/s both are so much more vibrant than macs. I love mac for their lipsticks and different finishes in e/s tho.
I freelance in okinawa sometime tho, its really nice becuz Japan is beautiful and there are so many photographers. Ive done lots of stylized shoots so I may think about actually building a kit and freelancing when i can for like balls, proms, and shoots. I keep to myself becuz not many girls in uniform wear makeup beside the basics, shoot! even i dont (im too lazy at 0530!) but i will rock my riri woo, candy yum yum and rebel on the weekends. I get compliments but there arnt much girls that are makeup lovers like i am lol. I dont talk much to the MUA out there becuz they can be kind of catty, which idk why, im full time active duty its not like i have time to take jobs, most of the time i just want to be part of a creative shoot. The money is just to maintain my personal makeup stash that im using.
Sorry i blabbed!..
Well I will be flying from dallas back to hawaii. I was working TAD in Pearl Harbor for 6 months. From Hawaii i take a flight back to Okinawa, thats 9 hrs. Im pretty sure Korea to Hawaii it be about the same. Aw, thats so great that you get to see him soon! When I came back from deployment nobody was there to greet me my family as in Tx and I landed in Cali, but some random family member did give me a beer!

that is too long of a flight for me! That sucks being away from your family, but it does go by fast! I did only 5 years and have been out for 3 years...long enough to embark on a new career (RN) and it's great! But I do miss traveling like I did when I was on those 6 month deploys

No, thanks for sharing! I do seldom at times miss being in the military! But then I think about having to request a chit (permission) to do everything! Lol with the family member having a beer for you!

. The J214R is awesome for concealer. Shipping is $9 to US and very fast.

thanks, powder. For $9 I better add something else to my cart. Not sure what other brushes I need at the moment. Maybe an eye shadow brush to apply a wash of color over the full eye and a good brush to apply paint pots.
Sorry I haven't followed up with my Tom Ford cheek brush thoughts. So far I haven't really loved it. The brush is so incredibly dense that it doesn't really blend well in my opinion. It's very difficult to rinse all of the soap out of it and it takes quite awhile to dry. Today I reached for my Real Techniques brush instead which is pretty sad. The TF is very soft and high quality, but I always feel like I need to finish up with a lighter brush. It also lost a few hairs in the washes. Not terrible, but notable. It's performing a bit better after washing. I've only used it with MAC blushes. I'm too scared to try it with NARS.
