The brush set includes a beautiful assortment of four essential brushes: Lip Brush which has soft but firm bristles to create precise lines on the lip; Shader Brush for use of powder, cream, and liquid eye shadow application, the long spread out bristles provide a light touch that is best for blending and building color; Tapered Blending Brush is perfect for shading and blending the crease line with powder shadows; Powder/Blush Brush has the ideal density for face powder and cheek color application, bronzing, as well as dusting off excess powders.
I like everything in this collection but I am thinking that since I don't live in Tokyo, I will not be able to pull many of these items off. Like the False Eye Lashes, they won't be happening for me anytime soon. I'm not really into either of the palettes but I love the Sparkly Purple Eye Crayon, the Miracle Cherry Blush Tint, and the Lip Duo in the pink shade. I am also looking at trying the Cleansing Oil from this company because the limited edition princess bottle is just too pretty to be believed.
