Maybe you can contact the US site and they can do a special order for you? I've read a blogpost where someone got two brushes exclusive to the Japan site and she suggested you could ask them to import those if you wanted the brushes too.

I already got my shipping confirmation and I ordered maybe 2 hours ago!
I'm new to Hakuhodo, is there a big super soft and fluffy powder brush? I don't have any powder brush and I want a real soft one, but I don't really know what brand to look at. I have an old no name blush brush which has mink hair, that's the kind of softness I'm looking for. Is Squirrel hair the softest?
I was thinking about the MAC 134, which looks good shape and size wise, but since it's over 60€ here I might as well look at Hakuhodo and other high end brands. I'm open to any other suggestions as well!

That's what I bought it for. Here you can see the size compared to the meteorites tin http://sweetmakeuptemptations.com/2013/09/26/hakuhodo-g5557-s4001-j104-g5519-g5539-g5540-s141-s146-and-white-fans/.
Blue squirrel hair is supposed to be the softest, but those brushes are often not very dense so if you need a dense brush you might be happier with goat hair. Goat hair isn't as soft as squirrel hair, but Hakuhodo's goat hair brushes are definitely softer than Mac's. I love the J501 for powder application.

Hi everyone 
I am a makeup junkie from Norway Came here to say hi, and to share my expierience about brushes from Hakuhodo. I own really diverse makeup brushes, all from cheap drugstore ones, to Real Techniques and Sigma. And so far I was convinced that Sigma are sooooo soft... untill today.
Thanks for sharing your expierience about Hakuhodo brushes, I really appreciate all tips and pictures which have been posted here. You all helped me a lot with making this difficult choice a little bit easier
I just placed 2 orders on Hakuhodousa some days ago, the first one arrived allready today
I live in Norway, normally it takes some time before packages arrives, but this time it was megasuperhiper fast
I also wanted to share picture of my first order, geez I spent really about 2 days on reading reviews on this forum and other blogs to just pick up those brushes I will want first.
From the left: J146, J5523, J210
On this picture they are taken right out of the box, but I know the shape will change after first wash I haven't use them yet, just checked on my hand and cheek how incredibly soft they are
In the second purchase I went for J142, J5521 and J5543. I am a complete sucker for white bristles And since prices are not so very extreme (like S serie), I decided to start my collection with J serie.
One thing I wonder about, is there somebody who owns both J110 and J210 and can tell me if they are very similiar? Both of them are pretty But since I allready own J210 I wonder if J110 is a necessary purchase. I am a little obsessed about blush brushes, and will really be thankfull for every opinion and help
Ah, and sorry for my english, it sux a little. I am Polish who lives in Norway, definatelly my norwegian is more fluent than english

:welcome: You got some very pretty brushes! I'm also a sucker for the white bristles. I have the J110 but not the J210. I believe the difference is that the J110 is pinched on one side and the J210 is round and the J210 is also denser and will apply product more heavily. Don't worry about your english. We all had to learn it and I'm still learning too. In fact being on this forum has helped me practice my english a lot!Hi everyone

Thanks for both welcome and advice, Pinkdollface
Well, yeah, I figured out that J210 is pretty dense, even denser than my Sigma F40 (angled blush brush) and RT Blush brush which I use to all blushes. I am looking for sth similiar to Sigma's one, kind of. J210 will be probably brilliant when used with a little lighter hand, my plan was also try it for contouring.
I was thinking also about J531/J4003, I found some comparisions of it to Mac 168, but I don't own any Mac brushes so I have no idea how they perform.
Well, as I am now falling more and more in Hakuhodo addiction, will try to be active here. After some time my english will get better. I had been learning it for really extremally many years, but now my main language is Norwegian, so english is not so much in use
Small edit. The more I am searching for reviews and pictures, the more "to buy" I find

Thanks, Mosha010
Well looks like J110 is kind of longer, seems to be also flat, not as round as J210. For sure this is not first prioritaire now I guess, I will let myself have a little fun with those brushes I allready have and keep googling for finding maybe sth else at all. Like J531 or pink Chomotto Angled Powder
Of course, I'll let you know about J5543, Mosha010! It should arrive either today (saturday) or monday. I am going to post a picture and my thoughts after using it I was drooling over J5543 for very long time, so I am very excited to test it
