Thanks:) im already itching for a blush brush. Its G5537BkSL. Its soft like a feather. Thinking of using it for sheer highlightning or something. All the other brushes has their name stamped on them besides the big one. So useful.

Anyone have a kabuki brush from Hakuhodo or Koyuda? I was considering this one:

Love it, but the wood is appealing to me too. I guess it will come down to what I am willing to spend. I'll have a look around the web to see what the consensus is on kabuki brushes from these two brands.

From what i have read before koyudo kabukis are softer than the hakuhodo ones, and cheaper, but between those 2 koyudo i would personally go with the wooden handle one because of the hair, its a mix of squirrel and baby goat, but honestly either one will be good :)

hakuhodo bar soap loveeeee it makes my brushes even more softer I didn't think that was possible as they are pretty soft already I took a picture of the other hakuhodo cleaner but this one was just okay to me I ended up using almost all of it after having it for over a year but probably not buy again if I do I will get the $5 bottle I just wish the tiny soap was not so expensive $8 for 1oz very small but worth it my brushes are clean and super soft loveeeee it

Thank you for the opinion and advice, karla!
I was initially looking at the wooden one so I think I'll go with that based on first instinct.

Eep! Is it CdJapan? Thanks for telling about the price increase for Koyudo. I will definitely have to consider buying a couple more brushes before that happens! I ordered the fupa14 a month ago and I'm still waiting for it to ship. It's tough staying patient! I stalk my order status often, hehe.

Yes, its cdjapan, can i ask where are you from? I also ordered the fupa and im really hoping it wont take more than a month to ship :(, i also wanted to order the black fupa02 but on that one it said 1 to 2 months to ship

Yeah, waiting for them to restock is the hardest part. I ordered on Jan 12th and at that time it said 2-4 weeks back-order. Hopefully soon the supplier will restock. Then once they get it I'll have to wait for it to ship to Canada :crybaby: I don't think I've ever seen the fupa02 with less than 1-2 months. I got the pink because of the less wait time and I want another...buuut I think I'll go with something else like the fupa13 instead! Sorry for hijacking the Haku thread! :amused:

Had time to really use these and here are my thoughts on j5543 and the liner brush j5543 I got to use as a bronzer brush and it works just great for that on the site its market as a blush brush and I find it too dense for blushes but it can be use for hard to pick up blushes happy I pick it up will be using this one alot The liner brush is the best omg I'm kicking myself for not getting more then 1 now I'm going to have to place another order and hakuhodo shipping is not cheap but I must order more Hope this helps someone

Not Hakuhodo-related, but I saw a lot of Koyudo talk, so I figured I'd ask here: I'm just curious what shipping method you all have used when purchasing from CDJapan? I'm trying to decide and FedEx is the only service I've ever heard of from the options offered. Thanks!

I'm interested in this too because I am trying to make a decision over whether or not I should order a couple brushes today before the price rise goes into effect tomorrow on CDJapan. FedEx was the only carrier I had heard of too, so I googled the others and they are all different types of service offered by Japan Post.
Their website says that:

SAL = Surface Air Lifted meaning it travels by ground in Japan and the destination country but if the destination is overseas it will be flown between the two destinations

Registered SAL = same as SAL with a Registration number to track it and if the parcel is lost or damaged it is insured up to ¥6000 (which may be only the cost of one brush depending on what you are buying)

Air Mail and Registered Air Mail have the same type of variation between the two as SAL except that it is entirely posted by Air.

The Express Mail Service is described as:
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/ems/index_en.html

and then of course there is the FedEx option.

I personally have no idea what to choose but part of me thinks that Japan Post is probably very reliable and I am tempted to choose one of their options over FedEx, probably the EMS service.

I asked over in the Japanese brush thread as well and a couple people said they'd ordered with EMS. I decided to go with that option, plus there was a possible VAT issue with FedEx that I didn't quite understand. EMS ended up being a little more money for me but hopefully everything works out!

Yeah, that is what I am going to try as well. It offers insurance, tracking, and a signature at the door so that sounds ok to me.

Hey guys, here are some of my fave eyeshadow blending brushes (mostly Hakuhodo with 3 others). The one on the bottom/right is J5523, which is very similar to MAC 217 (not really a blending brush, but I included it in the photos cause most of you know how 217 looks like, so you can get a better perception of size of the others when compared to J5523. :)

The brushes are (top to bottom/left to right):

Hakuhodo Kokutan T
Suqqu Eyeshadow M
Le Metier de Beaute Crease Brush
Hakuhodo G5529
Hakuhodo J146
Paula Dorf Sheer Crease Brush
Hakuhodo J142
Hakuhodo G5522
Hakuhodo J5522
Hakuhodo J5523
