Unboxing :: My New Chikuhodo Z-1 Powder Brush
Ok, ok…. I got one! I mentioned I wanted to try out different artisan Japanese brush brands. I adore my Kashoen, and although my Sephora Hakuhodo collab brushes I wouldn’t consider true Hakuhodos, they are created by them. There is also Suqqu as well. So I wanted to purchase a few things from Beautylish (they have Wayne Goss Brushes there) I actually ended up originally just getting a Liquid Lippie from Jeffree Star (Doll Parts) and I also picked up a Sisley Quad Eyeshadow palette. Sadly the color of the palette was completely different then what they sent me. And since their makeup is HELLA EXPENSIVE, and my new YSL Palette had the exact same colors I returned it . I want to say,I hate returning cosmetics, but this was completely Beautylish’s error and I never touched it other then to open the quad to inspect it, and Lord it was expensive.
SO I exchanged it for a Chikuhodo Brush! I was trying to figure out which one exactly I wanted. I was torn between the Passion Series PS-1 Powder,Makie Series MK-1 Powder,GSN Series GSN-1 Powder and the Z Series Z-1 Powder. At first I saw drawn to the larger ones but I decided on the Z-1 because it looked like it would also be great for my powder contours as well. Also being very soft was the best for sensitive skin.
I will say one thing. Although it was Beauylish’s error they were easy to work with and return the product. So so far I am happy with their customer service.
Ok, so I got my package today! so here are the pics and then my initial thoughts on the brush.
This was a giant box for the brush, which I guess was to ensure it arrived safely
Initial thoughts at this point was they need to step up their packaging game. If you remember my Kashoen unboxing post, their packaging was on point. This was packaged like it was a drugstore brush.
and the brush!
Aside from my disappointment in the packaging (I don’t think that was from Beautylish. I think that was all on Chikuhodos end), my initial reactions where positive. The handle is very pretty and elegant, and OMG the bristles. The softest bristles I have ever experienced. The bristles of this brush are Gray Squirrel.
Info on this brush (from Beautylish’s website)
- The Z Series Z-1 is a powder brush with bristles made from the hair of gray squirrel. The bristles are 45mm in length, with the total length of the brush being 160mm.
I haven’t used it yet but I will tomorrow. Expect a proper review very soon! I am super excited to try this brush out! ❤
Unboxing :: 2 Fragrances from Anthropologie
I went into Anthropologie this week and whenever I go there I always make a beeline to their little Fragrance area. I fell in love with a bunch of fragrances but I behaved and only bought 2.
I got English Rose from Royal Apothic, and She Found Quiet in His Wild from Fictions
I will probably do a review on these soon so I won’t go to much into them. But they are both very lovely floral fragrances with a touch of much. English rose is, well more rose fragranced, and The one from fictions is a little brighter, and fruitier.
The packaging for these both was really lovely. English rose came in a velvet lined wooden box, and the fictions fragrance came in a packaging that resembled a book!
the pics….
I adore the bottle.
What I found really clever was the information on the perfumer and graphic artist of the packaging was presented as a removable bookmark within the package
I think these both will make great summer scents, and I can’t wait to wear them!
Random Haul :: Morphe and Drugstore
I got my Morphe order today, and I also ran to Walgreens to get a shot, and I ended up picking up a few things while I was there. I decided to condense it all into one haul post.

Drugstore Haul
I was on a quest to find some lip products. I wanted to try out a few new things so this entire haul minus 2 things is all lips.
A Milani Lipstick and 2 Rimmel ones.
Swatches!!! I am really digging these colors.
Some Covergirl Creams Balms, and 2 rimmel lip liners
more swatches!
And lastly I was just digging through their sale bin and I found some of their Disney Villian stuff from their Summer 2015 launch! In total these 2 items were less than .75 cents so I had to buy them!
OK, this was so fun. The color payoff is whomp whomp, but I just love the packaging. and for 17 cents whose going to complain. I may play with this tomorrow.
OMG Look at this brush trio, and only 49 cents! Its so pretty. I will play with these tomorrow. This set comes with a Stippling brush, a concealer brush, and an angled buff brush!
So these are some fun items, and some fun things to try out and experiment with! whoop!
