Nice!
Btw, do you have any information about NARS Audacious lipsticks (esp, the launch date at other department stores.)?
Hi Rachel,
Any information I have is posted as soon as NARS sends it to me (or in the rare case, when we’re allowed to post per embargoes). If it’s not on the blog, it means we don’t have it (which probably means the brand hasn’t officially released it!). Sorry!
How are you finding Mizubake in similarity to Yachiyo? I really wanted to get ahold of it, but I am not sure now. Is this new one replacing Yachiyo?.
I really loved my Nars Kubuki blush brush–the shape and softness is just brilliant for a nice diffused cheek– but it really only lasted about a year and a half before the bristles started breaking down. I take really good care of my brushes. I do not find the same fragility with Hakuhodo products.
I’ve grown to love those handles 🙂 I remember that I didn’t like them when I first saw them though.
I love the shapes and the wrapped handles – so interesting! Makes me want to go read up on Kabuki theatre, actually…
These brushes tempt me so much! But they are way beyond my budget.. probably if I didnt buy anything else for the whole year i could get the set! 😛
I’m half Japanese and proud of it but this kabuki brushes is remind me of ink brush so much LOL it just me or they look more beautiful on red background. I just want them in simple matte black as Kudoki brush though
A bit worried about the long term washability and longevity of the two face brushes with a handle like that.
What about the flat brush, the ita? Is that coming back as well?
I don’t think it ever left, so it’s not new – exists already!
Christine is right–it never ‘left’–just sold out everywhere a LONG time–Nordstrom.com FINALLY has it again now–also I ordered it a few months ago (when it was out everywhere online) by phoning the ‘Melrose NARS boutique’ directly at (310) 623-1730 & they shipped it 2 my house –HTH! 🙂
Mizubake intrigues me a lot, almost too pretty to use. Haha, but for 55 dollars you bet I’m gonna use the heck out of it.
The 3 new brushes are up on LordandTaylor’s website.
Those are some interesting looking brushes.
Honestly I’d have a hard time using some of these they look so elegant and pristine. I never got in the Ita bandwagon but it’s always been at the back of my mind. I heard the new version was a little softer? or did I make that up? 🙂
They’re packaged so beautifully. <3
I love the way their brushes look but when I felt the bristles – the price is not worth it. Especially in Canadian dollars 🙁 The brush with the stick end I have seen cheaper option of.
Sadly my Nars Yachiyo brush sheds like no tomorrow . I love the unique design and it buffs and blends very delicate . I care of all my brushes , but…
Same as for me…like it’s not gonna end shedding!
Are these limited edition? I need to know. Because of Reasons.
These are new and permanent!
They look like works of art. Most everything that NARS makes is beautifully designed.
I want almost all of them lol. I need to start saving my pennies!
The bound handle is a huge disappointment. My Yachiyo unraveled horribly after a short time. I wouldn’t touch another NARS brush w/a ten-foot pole.
Dear lord… these are the most beautiful brushes I have ever seen. And the fact that these are so similar to the brushes I use when applying Japanese classical dance makeup makes them even more perfect for me.
