Yay! I was wondering why they couldn't just open up the warehouse. Glad they're doing so. I must go soon!

AAAH so jealous for all of you who can just visit their store, see, touch, ach.... that must be magic :)


Today my second order arrived

From the left: J5543, J5521 and J142


Like first brushes which I got, they are just amazingly soft :D I really look forward to use them :) I am off to school from tomorrow so will have possibility to test their performance. Yesterday I tested J210 for Hot Mama blush, it was very ok aplication for my need :) Looks like we will like eachother anyway :)

So now washing of my new babies :) I could probably skip it, but since my skin is sensitive and react sometimes on really different stuff, I want to be safe :) I use hypoalergic soap, with no smell/colour. This does brilliant job and cleans brushes fine, deep and without destroying them.


My next order will be J110 and B512BkSl. Ach I am so glad at the moment :D

Let us know how you like 'em! I am planning to buy two of those in my first order. I have to wait a week, but I'm excited!

Ladies, your collections are amazing and droolworthy! I'm loving all the pics.

Thanks for the powder brush recommendations. I haven't decided which one to get, the ones I like best are too pricey at for me atm.

I would also love to know which brush is best for contouring? I'm thinking about ordering the J5521, would it work for that? Or would the G529 be better? (if so, how does it compare to MAC 163, since it's horse and I think the MAC one is goat but they're pretty similar shape wise)?

I think the G529 and Mac 163 will be quite different. The G529 seems a lot thinner and has longer bristels. I guess it will be a lot more flexible, but it can also be more precise since the surface is smaller. I'll get the J511 with my order soon and that's an angled highlight brush which I plan to use for contouring. I have the J5521, but didn't try it for contouring. I guess if you have the Mac 165 and like that for contouring you'll like this one too.

I don't have the 165, in fact I don't have any pointed brush so that's why I'm very intruiged by those and would love to try one.
For some reason I'm not a fan of angled brushes (I do have the MAC 168 though), so I'd love to look into other shapes for contouring.
You're right, the bristels of the G529 are definitely longer. I think I might get the MAC one.

If you don't have any pointed brushes and you don't like angled ones than the J5521 might be a very good buy. If you end up not liking it for contouring it'll still be great for highlighting, but a lot of people use it for contouring so I think it'll be fine.

Naynadine, I just got mine J5521, and tomorrow I am going to try it for contouring, we will see how it goes :)

Pinkdollface, can you post a picture of your J511 when you get it? It seems to be a smaller version of J4003, which looks hmm more fluffy and dense :) I am curious :)

Anybody here who has B512BkSl? It is described as angled higlighting brush, but one of my makeup guru's (Katosu) uses it for contouring with bronzer. Any expierience, pictures anybody? :)

Hi Naynadine, I've had the J5521 for over 6 months and it's my go-to for contouring. I think you'll enjoy it!

Nayanadine: J5521 is fantastic :D You are not going to regret. I used it for contouring with W7 Honolulu Bronzer. It picks up exactly as much product as you need, I won't say it picks up very much (so for me it makes it easier to apply bronzer little by little) :) It blends just fantastic :D Brush is very soft, not extremally dense, I will love it for contouring :) So I can recommend :)

J146 is superfancy blending brush. Doesn't pick much of eyeshadow, and OMG how delicious and soft it is for eyelid. I can say it is comparable to Sigma E35 (size, form), but J146 is way, way softer and more delicate. Just pleasure to blend eyeshadows with it. Recommend this one as well :)
