I see the Ita brush at counters all the time. Call Lord and Taylor's and Nordstrom stores to check. At one point it became super popular a short time ago (likely because of beauty bloggers) and was sold out everywhere for weeks. Looks like the popularity has toned down a bit. It is on the NARS site now.

Finding their place in modern makeup, the unique design of each Kabuki Brush encourages multi-functional use, making each a versatile tool in everyday makeup application.

According to my source, Mie brush is denser and bigger than Yachiyo. After I heard of it, it reminded me of MAC 138 brush which is one of my favorites!

I got a #21 contour brush as a present. I used it today and am pretty disappointed. When I swiped on my hand, it looked soft, but it's quite scratchy more than I expected when I swiped on my cheeks. The quality of their brushes is still the same as their old ones. Now I'm concerned whether I'm going to buy new Kabuki brushes.

I just got the launch date of the Kabuki brushes from my reliable source. It's in the middle of September, not August 1st. They have been pushed back to September because NARS has recently had some issues with manufacturing. This is the main cause of the delay. I hope this information can be helpful for you.

The Kabuki brushes are up at NARS website. It's weird and funny because MUAs at NARS boutiques said the launch date is August 20th. How is it possible they don't know the launch date exactly?

Bought both face brushes today; MIGHT go back for the Kudoki... The MUA showed me all the ways it could be used and I was kind of blown away!

Saw the mie kabuki brush in space nk today really loved the feel of it...so incredibly soft and it would be great for light powder application. At the moment I'm using the real technique retractable kabuki for powder but the nars seems more suited in my opinion.

I feel the same way. I just recently returned the Ita and the one that starts with a Y haha, because they felt scratchy.

I regret the Yachiyo with every fiber of my being. Yes, I hate it that much. The bristles are too scratchy to me. However, my Ita is heaven; sometimes I wish it were a bit more firm, but really, it's just right. I used the Kudoki today and it was a BREEZE for precise shadow placement in the outer v, the crease, bottom lash line... you name it. I can't wait to try the Mie and Mizubake. They're both very soft upon touch.
