Chikuhodo NL-11 Retractable Lip BrushMakeup BrushHigh quality
There are so many retractable lip brushes available on CD Japan to choose from. I chose this one based on the color and price. The color is a very beautiful wine red/burgundy. The item is of high quality.

Z-10 Eye Shadow / Chikuhodo Z SeriesMakeup BrushA good pencil brush
I need the softness of this brush for the lower lash line. Holding the brush in my hand I can feel the craftsmanship. From the bristles to the handle, this brush is very well made.

MK-12 Retractable Blush Brush / Chikuhodo Makie SeriesMakeup BrushCompact
I like retractable brushes for their portability. One with an exquisite makie design is a big plus. The size of this brush is smaller than I expected. However, I still like it as it is a beautiful item. The more expensive but bigger MK-11 may be more practical.

G-3 Eye Shadow / Chikuhodo G SeriesMakeup BrushRecommended
A well-made brush in a compact size. Great for travel. The hair feels soft and luxurious. It covers a large area of the lids.

A pretty cotton pouch that will be useful for carrying a few brushes with me while offering some protection.

Koyomo nadeshiko Pearl Pink Shadow BrushMakeup BrushA petite brush
This is the shortest eyeshadow brush I have ever had. It is slightly shorter than Chikuhodo G-3. I was looking for short and compact eyeshadow brushes to replace my old synthetic ones. This petite little brush is very light, short, compact and cute. A joy to bring it with me when I travel. The pearlescent pink handle is pretty. The "koyomo" hair is soft as advertised. I am very satisfied with my first Koyomo brush and came back to purchase the flat version.

Koyomo nadeshiko Pearl Pink Flat Shadow BrushMakeup BrushMy second petite brush from Koyomo
I bought the non-flat version the first time and came back to grab this flat brush as well. It is a soft, delicate but firm brush. I love the compactness of the nadeshiko line, which is a great value. I am interested in trying more Koyomo brushes in the future.

Eihodo NF-M5 Foundation SpongeMakeup BrushA huge soft sponge
This is perhaps the softest sponge I have ever found. Great quality. It is quite a huge sponge. As described, it is 90 x 90 mm. It will be useful for applying liquid, gel, or cushion foundation.

EIHODO RE8-3 Makie Blush Brush No.2 Peony sakuraMakeup BrushBeautiful Makie
The Eihodo Makie Series looks stunning. There was more than one brush I wanted from the series, but many had been out of stock. The hair is not the softest you can find, but is decent and soft enough for what I need. The design is very beautiful. Small spots of the Makie flowers are iridescent. I want to buy another brush from this series.

Ksz-06 Eye Liner Brush / KOYUDO Kakishibuzome SeriesMakeup BrushAesthetically pleasing
This brush is so aesthetically pleasing. The natural wood handle feels very smooth in my hand. I love touching and holding the handle. I also love the way the wood grain shows through subtly in a slightly warm color. The saikoho hair is very soft yet firm. This is my first time trying a Koyudo brush. (I also bought a fu-pa with imitation hair.) I am excited and happy with the craftsmanship.

[f-06] Liquid mini fu-pa02 / Koyudo fu-pa SeriesMakeup BrushCompact and cute
"Goat and saikoho immitation hair" sounds interesting to me, especially when I will need to wash the brush often as its main purpose is for applying liquid and cream products. The hair feels soft on my face. The compact size makes this brush cute and good for travel. The handle looks all black, but it is actually pearlescent with tiny subtle green glitters.
