Yes, got the email. I was having a hard time determining that too, so I just went for it. But I will say....usually if I buy something early, it lasts for weeks and weeks, lol!

They sent me an email telling me I could split my payment in 3 so I caved (and added an extra brush lol).

Welcome to the club lol!
Thanks @Shars!

The second email I received said if you order today, you should have the brushes by Friday (this Friday or next???). Hoping for this Friday so I can play with them over the weekend. I can't remember how long Beautylish deliveries normally take....

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I've heard their shipping is pretty quick and their website says that once you order before 6pm PST, they ship out that same day. My email says order in the next few hours to receive by Friday. Two business days sounds about right for them so delivery this Friday is possible. I guess we have to wait for shipping confirmations now

Which extra brush did you order?
Did you guys get your shipping confirmations yet? Got mine and estimated delivery is Friday!!
I got the number 18 brush in addition to the anniversary set! I was going to get the number 19 as well but I'll get that one another time.

I LOVE the 19. It's my fave crease brush. Actually, it's my favorite eye brush. I typically use it to lay down my transition color. I've been meaning to order a few more, but... makeup. 18 is the small shader right?. If so, it's nice. Just not love. I'll pick up another (or two) at some point.

Anybody getting the reissued Wayne Goss collection kit? I think I'm going to shell out and get it! I'm happy the #1 brush is bigger. I didn't like the look of the original dinky one lol.

The bigger brush is what sealed it for me!

Argh! I'm a brushaholic but I can't convince myself to get this set :'( I have 3 out of the set and with the USD to CAD conversion rate where it is at the moment....Ouch! I can honestly say that the new #1 is the only thing tempting me! Darn you Wayne! I can only hope in the future he will release it LE on its own. *fingers crossed*

Darn... you're telling me this now. lol. I don't have a lot of lid space and have hooded eyes on top of that so those small shaders are life for me. Hopefully it's a love for me!plus For sure! The Hakuhodo equivalents cost like $72 for that one brush alone!
plus 9.99 shipping :/

Well, there's always next purchase :)

I have partially hooded eyes and the 18 is small, but not as small as I'd hoped it would be. I kinda have to work with it on days where I want to apply color just to the "un-hooded" part of my lid. Other than that, it is a really nice brush. It's super soft and picks up product well. I'm just hoping to find an even smaller shader that performs as well. May your experience be brighter!!

Haha, it's true!! We'll see how I like the 18 when it comes. My favourite shader ever was from some random cheapo eyeshadow palette I bought from Debenhams in the UK back when I was studying there in '05 or so. That thing has lasted me all those years and has never shed. Packs pigment like no other shader I have!

So Fedex decided to be expeditious today. Missed my brushes, since I'm at work earning the money to pay for my makeup addiction. I didn't realize I had to sign. Reading is fundamental, I suppose.

I'm going to Japan for New Years and already planning out my makeup shopping lol. Is the Suqqu cheek brush worth it? I know Lisa loves it but it's super expensive. Even the really nice, expensive Hakuhodo cheek brushes are still cheaper in yen than the Suqqu one. Should I just get a Hakuhodo one? Also, I wish their foundation brushes were more the buffing kind, I can't stand the flat styles.

I don't own the suqqu brush but one day I will ha. If you're a brush fanatic - I think it's a must have. But if you just want a squirrel cheek brush - you can get nice similar options for a lot less. The hakuhodo kokutan blush brush s would be nice or the chikuhodo z4 cheek brush. The suqqu is very wispy and applies blush with a super light hand. So if you want that I would consider the tanseido YSC17. But if you want a denser option go with the z4. I don't personally have the kokutan but I would suggest looking at it in person if you have a chance
