Muji also discontinued my much loved cut cotton (now they only have bigger sized version/with less count per bag and 40% more expensive!!!). I bought three lip brushes recently (lunasol, replacement for sui and yojiya) and I really like the ebony one from yojiya as well...I will try Citrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199668831634182275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24217885.post-91438319301975251582015-06-18T18:15:17.715-04:002015-06-18T18:15:17.715-04:00Thanks for the great reviews!

I went looking for the Muji brushes while in Tokyo but they weren't in the Shibuya store and the staff couldn't find it online so they think they've been discontinued :( guess they were too good of a deal.<br />I did find the Anna Sui brush so I picked it up - very cute. I also got a hakuhodo lip brush for the same price - no cap though.

I actually don't really like applying lipstick from the bullet because I can't apply it as precisely once the bullet has worn down. sushirollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320744440093479977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24217885.post-2100000315679703622015-06-07T06:30:46.818-04:002015-06-07T06:30:46.818-04:00I know what you are talking about ( saw it while i...I know what you are talking about ( saw it while it was still available, it was black and deep red right?) but decided not to get it because the tapered brush head looks too small and the bristle seems too bouncy for my liking.

For some reason I've always thought it is difficult to find a decent retractable lip brush (speaking of difficulty, isn't it impossible to find a good "mini" retractable kabuki?). I'd love to get a P & J lip brush. Have you tried other P & J brushes as well? Just curious. :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24217885.post-77882912905819522012015-05-31T09:12:56.820-04:002015-05-31T09:12:56.820-04:00It's one of the few backed up with zero guilt ...It's one of the few backed up with zero guilt products! most of the time I want to kick myself for getting two of the same brush that I don't use at all...Citrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199668831634182275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24217885.post-58141122112703049952015-05-31T00:39:47.570-04:002015-05-31T00:39:47.570-04:00Ohhh that P&J chrysanthemum cap is gorgeous!!!...Ohhh that P&J chrysanthemum cap is gorgeous!!!D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12606515472124254336noreply@blogger.com
