ohhhh okay I see what your saying that's makes so much more sense. any tips on how to choose good brushes across different brands?
i would recommend you go and read the Hakuhodo thread.http://www.specktra.net/t/108416/hakuhodo-makers-of-mac-brushes

they have the best eye brushes for $17-20. trust me i have nars, mac and chanel. none of them compare to hakuhodo.

start with the J series. those are cheaper or equally priced to the mac ones but way way better.

But what about blending brushes? i heard hakuhodo is expensive but i guess its worth a try

they have those too. my faves the J142 and J146. they dont cost more than $18 each. some of the face brushes are the same price as the mac ones, in the J series. the expensive ones are the ones with special ferrules/fudes.

i will be posting some pics in the haku thread. you can go and see some pictures that other members have posted, some comparing mac shapes to the haku ones. and prices.

I got my hands on Woodrose and took some pics, but since I have no idea where my DSLR is all I can offer is crappy phone camera quality. Most pics turned out blurry. Sorry!

It says it's a Lustre and it only contains 3g, so it's a regular lisptick, not a Mineralize one.



Chanel Evanescente, High Tea, Woodrose, Marquise D, YSL Beige Tribute



same order as above

To me it's a very beige nude, not that much pink in there. No shimmer at all and it's the sheerest of all the shades I swatched there. It feels a teeny tiny bit dry on my lips.
Marquise D is peachier-pinker, the difference is bigger in real life, the pic doesn't really show it.
Sorry again for the poor quality. I didn't even bother with watermarking the pics, lol.

The packaging feels nice and heavy, I love it!

The 129 is scratchy compared to Hakuhodo. I need more Hakus!
totally agree, i gave up all my mac brushes theyre in my sale thread all my face brushes are hakuhodos, although im still trying to replace my 129 becasue i do love the shape but both the J110 and j5543 is amazing and my favorite of them all.

Im going back and forth whether to grab the orange ombre blush or not. mosly becuz its gimicky, i dont need another blush! #teamlowbuy!

but surely i deserve A blush! ;)
