The Yachiyo is wonderful for highly pigmented blushes. It is a tad scratchy IMHO (or maybe not as soft as I was expecting a $50 brush to be) and I've had a few bristles fallout, but not enough to ruin my makeup. We're talking maybe 4-5. Due to it's shape you can also highlight and contour with it pretty easily. Since it's a bit pointy you can also dust powder under the eyes to set concealer. I just use it for pigmented blushes though. While I like it, I'm not sure it's worth 50 duckets. I'd take advantage of the Beauty.com and/or NARS 20% off sales or Sephora's VIB sale to get a discount. Oh or a GiltCity coupon. The Real Techniques blush brush has also received fantastic reviews in its use with pigmented blushes and it's very affordable. I used it once, but gave it to my daughter b/c I had the Yachiyo. (I was wanting a secondary blush brush for my non-pigmented blushes.) It's very soft, no shedding, stands up on your counter, is cruelty-free, and dries quickly. My other NARS brushes are the Small Dome #12, Ita, and Smudge #15.

I have the Real technique brush and like it but i don't have the Yachiyo so I can't compare. But I had two and in a month the base fell off. Although it is nice, it is not something I expect to last a long time.

The lovely Rads made a nice review of Persia Single Eyeshadow. Check it out here:

I love your idea of pairing it with Thunderball. It makes for a nice wearable look and it suits you very nicely. If you have Autumn Leaves lipstick, I imagine it would look great with this look. :)

Elegant, your pics are always soooo tempting! I have added Seduction to my wishlist. How is the lipstick different from other reds?

No Autumn Leaves lipstick :( I threw a temper tantrum fit of sorts when the collection launched.....I ordered almost everything from the NARS website soon as it launched..and waited...and waited...annnnnnnnd waited...then called up....and then calllllllled up again...then they finally shipped it...by FEDEX SMARTPOST..which means it was about 20 days later that I got everything..and I got so mad I returned everything unopened :|

I know it sounds really dumb..but I was so irritated with NARS for just sitting on that order till the whole world got it...and now I feel a little stupid doing that :|

And, thank you! :) :)

I think its different enough to own. Its the perfect match for the blush! Its a deeper wine strawberry red with the most amazing gold shimmer. It makes my lips look lush & it lasts incredibly well. Other reds are more red or pink in comparison. its just lovely on. I wore it all day today.
