Hakuhodo 2012 Holiday Old Rose Brush Set

Hakuhodo released this exquisite Limited Edition Rose Gold Brush Set for the 2012 Holiday Season. I was very fortunate to receive this set as one of my birthday gifts from Aki...okay, so maybe I hinted, suggested, protested, begged, demanded that he get me this set for my birthday :P

The set includes this lovely non-leather makeup case. 

Love the logo zipper pullers! 

Is that a bulge in your pocket, or are you happy to see me? Keep scrolling and you'll find out what it is ;) By the way, I also loved that the case came with a plastic flap to protect the brushes. 

These brushes are just darling! 

Included in this set from left to right : 

Powder/Blush Brush G5545 (Blue Squirrel and Goat).

Highlighter Brush G5521 (Blue Squirrel and Goat).

Shadow Brush J5523 (Goat): Similar, but infinitely better than MAC's 217.

Shadow/Liner Brush K005 (Weasel): Similar to MAC's 228.

Brow Brush B264 (Water Badger). 

Aki had my name engraved on the handles. He got a few stamps on his point card for that :)

Also included in this set is a Eyebrow/ Eyeshadow Palette.

Yes, we have a mirror!! 

All the shadows in this palette are velvety smooth and apply beautifully. 

All six shadows have a marvelous muted, murky tone.

Color description from left to right: 

A muted brownish-taupe. 

A muted blackish-brown.

A muted brownish-red clay.

A muted grayish-taupe. 

A muted dark sage green.

A muted maize yellow.

Only 1,000 of these sets are available, retailing for  ¥15,645($197.68), and can be purchased here.

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
