Okay girls seriously - forget about Sigma. It's all about Hakuhodo! Once those brushes touch your face you will never look back. So join me and become members of the Luxury Brush Club. You know you want to! Wow.... I am now officially a brush snob >_<

I've got my set of sigma & i must say i was quite disappointed ): maybe because i read SO MANY good reviews & saying how it was comparable to MAC & blah i expected more? It doesn't live up to my expectations ): really upset! & yes girls! Save to get MAC or if you are on a budget try Ecotools (available in priceline) not too sure if target & kmart carry them too. But for lower priced brushes they are REALLY SOFT! & i would go for them anyday rather then sigma! The only thing is that, there is a really limited range ): wish they had more brushes! but they do the basic ones (like blush, powder, eyeshadow etc)
Another brand which i feel has relatively good brushes at a lower cost is everyday minerals. But i prefer eco tools over EDM too. Eco tools is SO SO SO SOFT! love it!

@bibi, they are awesome brushes, aren't they? I've tried it in Japan when I was there, I'm kicking myself for not getting them, but I wasn't into makeup then. My Japanese has few brushes by them, too, and when she did my makeup it felt sooooooo good. I'm trying to be good and wait until I go back there though >.<, I don't think I'll be able to hold out. But in Japan they have a big set of the orange handles ones, and couple of other sets that are not on the US's site, so it's holding me in check for now.
I'm kinda tempted to get the lash comb and the foundation brush, since they are not in the sets though. But it'd be so tempting to but some 'other' brushes in with the mix when I order >.>
I'm glad you are loving them! Which brush is your favourite?
@Vintageroses: I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed. I hate it when I have an idea in my head and in reality it's not the same.

^Hehehe sunnie bad news for you... I checked out the Japanese page as well and saw that they had different brushes and sets. I really want the Black+Gold brushes (they are like the Orange+Gold ones only in black!!). So I emailed them and they said they could get the ones on the Japanese site for me but it would just take longer to arrive.
And yes they are awesome brushes!
My favorite ones are the blush brush (B110) and the foundation/powder brush(G527). The angled finishing brush is also amazing
. It feels so softttt, like baby duckies! I also LOVE the lash comb. Honestly I love all of my Hakuhodo babies equally. I treasure them like Gollum treasures his Preciousssss.

I love brush porn. I can't wait!! Have you got any new hakuhodo brushes have you got coming in the mail?

Did you end up getting it btw? I've pretty much worn something from that quad 5days a week since I got it.
I use my backup to look at for it's untouched glory, doing my gollum impressions with it.
It's going to be fun to see how long I can hold up to the enabling from bibi. XD

^No point keeping it a secret >_< It will give you a chance to get the brushes hopefully at a cheaper price. I don't know if they will hike the prices up or not actually... :X Does anyone know how things are priced at the IMATS generally? Is the the same as the States or do they mark things up to match Aussie pricing?

^^ I doubt they'll jack it up 100% like most companies, especially since they ship here directly, people are just not going to buy from them from IMATS and buy from the website after IMATS. I would anyhow. hehehehe Though, I'm thinking maybe I buy if the aussie dollar looks like it's going down, though it's predicted that it'll surpass the US dollar this year. but who knows :S

American brands at IMATS were on par/cheaper than typical US pricing (like naked cosmetics, yaby, and royal/crown brushes). With MUFE, there was a % off the Media Make Up prices - it ended up costing me about the same as if I'd done a CP but I had the luxury of actually seeing the colours in person so I bought what I could there. Since a lot of the retailers were aussie it was just a bit cheaper than buying from them regularly.

^Get it! It's so amazingly bright that it looks unreal. I think that Pageant is closer to the colour she was wearing though. Get both for good measure.

^Hakuhodo Pics as promissed. Sorry they are not the best.. It was early and I was groggy >_< You can click on the thumbnails to make them larger.
Mac 109 and Hakuhodo G527 Powder Brush comparison
Hakuhodo G527 - It has a full, flat top and you can use it for liquid foundation as well as powder. I use it for both at the moment but I'm getting another one to use just for liquid.
Mac 131 Brush and Hakuhodo B100 Finishing Brush - Angled
Hakuhodo B100 Finishing Brush - Extremely soft and flexible. Sweeps over your face like silk >_<
Mac 116 Blush Brush vs Hakuhodo B110 Blush Brush. The Hakuhodo brush is fuller with a flatter top and it is also infinitely softer. My 116 feels really scratchy in comparison.
Hakuhodo B110 Close up
Mac 109 vs Hakuhodo G528 Highlighting Brush
Hakuhodo G528 Highlighting Brush - It has a flat top and is incredibly soft with a thick bundle of bristles. Perfect for highlighting!
Hakuhodo K019 Eyelash Comb + B162 Eyebrow Brush
Hakuhodo S190 Eye Liner Brush - It is actually a square tip liner brush. I couldn't get the angle. It flattens out once you dip it in your gel liner but you can shape it on the back of your hand
