NO255 Retractable Lip BrushMakeup BrushIs this a kolinsky hair or weasel hair??
This brush is so exquisitely beautiful in shiny red and gold, it has some weight to it which feels luxurious upon holding it. There’s a gold inscription at the top end of the cover that read kolinsky lip brush, however on the website it stated that the hair is weasel. I wonder which is true? I tried to run in at the perimeter of my eye and it scratches, i know that kolinsky hair will not feel scratchy, so i guess it is made of weasel hair, but i would appreciate it if Eihodo or someone from CD japan can confirm.

G-4 Eye Shadow / Chikuhodo G SeriesMakeup BrushSimilar to the GSN9?
I wonder if this is the same as the popular GSN9, the hair length is the same at 12mm, but i am not sure with the density of the hair and the width of the ferrule. I like this brush, because it is dense enough for a paddle shape, i like my brush with some meat, less it would be too floppy and with less control. The handle is short but luxuriously smooth. I am reserving this piece for when i grow older and have more sensitive eyelids, i think this would be the perfect one to use then, and i am thinking that by that time, there might not be a lot of natural hair available in the market.

BP014 Foundation Brush / Koyudo BP High Class SeriesMakeup BrushGood for cream blushes
This is nice for cream blushes, it is small and really so cute to own. The hair is made from hakutotsuho and is stiff enough to use a concealer brush too. I like the white handles too, i find it very clean. I do not want to miss this piece especially now that Koyudo is going to discontinue the BP series.

y-6 Eyebrow BrushToo soft for eyebrow application
The hair is just too soft for the eyebrows, it disperses the color too much, which does not make for a pretty eyebrows application… I have yet to learn what to use it for at this point. I imagine it can be used for the eyelids, but i have not tried it yet because I don’t usually line my eyelids.

RR-C2 Cheek Brush / Chikuhodo Regular Series RedMakeup BrushSmelly hair but hair is exquisitely soft
The RRC2 cheek brush is made of squirrel hair, when i washed this, the animal smell is so strong even after i have done washing it. I am hoping it will gradually go away as it goes several washes. The quality though is superb, as soft as you can expect from squirrel hair. I love it for highlighter for a diffused application. I am glad i was able to buy 2 of it before the price increase.

KZ-4 Cheek / Chikuhodo Homare KZ SeriesMakeup BrushRight brush size for the cheeks
The hair of Kazan is so soft and yet firm to the skin, it’s always a pleasant experience to use this one. I picked this one when it was the last piece available and i have no regrets. The size is just right, not too small and yet not too big. It is just exactly the right size for the cheeks, so I reserve this for my blush application, it is especially great for those very pigmented blushes, it will apply smoothly and wonderfully.

Mizuho [WWW.TORU-P] Syaku Small Facial Cleansing Brush PinkMakeup BrushIt is so tiny
I was not expecting it to be this small and I thought i would regret getting it, but when i tried to you use it, i find it good for brushing all the crooks and cranny of the face, including the inner folds of my eyes, so all all is good in the end.

G-S4 Flat Shadow Liner Brush / Houkodou SORA Brilliant Gold SeriesMakeup BrushNot for waterline of the eyes
This is a nice but very flat which is the inherent nature of Kolinsky hair, it is for applying eyeshadpw but can also be used as lip brush, i would not recommend for the waterline of the eyes, it would be scratchy.
