I've got a hard time catching the gorgeous color mix of the bristles, but you get the idea. It looks absolutely luxurious!

In case anybody wonders, MW2 l/s contain 4.3 g whereas regular l/s contain 3 g. So yes, the price is higher, but you are also getting more product (on top of the gorgeous design).

wow, interesting! its actually more product right? because they are regular formulas not something different that makes them heavy.

If I remember correctly, the original MW l/s also contained more product. Same goes for the powders. Yes, it comes at 60 bucks, but you'll get a refill (albeit it is slighly smaller than the regular powders).

My point is that MW2 (or the original) are not significantly more expensive than regular packaging. As a professional artist myself, I highly value people who can actually make a living from doing what they love to do. Art and design come at a certain price, and given the length of training and education that most artists endure before they become successful (which is only a small percentage of all the people who enter the arts), I am more than happy to pay a few dollars extra as I appreciate and value the design of the product. I do not think that the items of this collection are overpriced, though I recognize that not everybody can afford it. $80 is certainly a steep price, but to me it is not only a brush, but also a piece of art that I enjoy admiring it in a similar way as I value other design objects.

As much as I love the brush and the compact. I just dont see it in the cards for me right now. Unless I win a lottery. 60$-80$ is a lot to spend on one item for this poor chica lol Hopefully they will stick around for a while.

The watermark is a good idea but maybe you should put it so that it's partially over the item or swatch since people could just crop it out.

I actually really like Inez, although I didn't think I would. Might just pick that one up, despite the price.
