Welcome! I'm brand new to blogging and have tons to learn along the way so I'm pretty sure I'll miss tons of things I should go through etc. I am NOT a professional, these are just my personal opinions and experiences :). Comments and suggestions are welcomed and much appreciated!

Here's my mini review for Wayne Goss Brushes #'s 1,4,6,and 8.
Wayne Goss is an amazing professional makeup artist that is extremely popular on YouTube. His tutorials are fun and fairly easy to follow due to how well he explains how to achieve the look. You can find him on YouTube at http://m.youtube.com/user/gossmakeupartist
Currently the brushes are currently available for purchase exclusively through www.beautylish.com for the US and www.love-makeup.co.uk if you're in the UK. I believe they are currently sold out but you can sign up for their email notification when they are back in stock.
Brush 01 $45:
I had high expectations for this foundation brush unfortunately I don't love it. I've tried it with liquid foundation and the finish wasn't as airbrushed as using my other brushes. Also it made my skin have all these tiny dry flaky patches when I usually don't have any. No I wasn't pressing down very hard :). I'll keep trying it with different products and techniques though. Maybe I'm not used to the shorter bristles when I'm used to foundation brushes that have much longer bristles. Will update when I try it out more. However, this brush performed beautifully for me when I used it with a cream bronzer for contour. It placed and blends the color wonderfully.
UPDATE: I followed Wayne's tutorial on how to use Brush 01 at: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BTemUTcM28Q
Even though I don't have any dry patches on my face buffing the foundtion on in a circular motion does cause some fine flaking for some reason. I followed Wayne's advice and applied it in downward strokes all over the face and it did indeed give me a much more flawless application. :)
Brush 04 $28:
Medium Size Crease Brush, MUST get if you have smaller eyes (like my Asian eyes). Super soft and easy to blend but its the pointy tapered tip that makes it really special. It positions color on the outer corner perfectly and you simply have to drag it out a bit for that perfect smoky effect.

Brush 06 $25:
I need to learn the technique for using this shape of Blending Brush. I'm usually used to the fluffy domed shaped blending brushes so this fluffy flat shader-ish shape is different for me. It is super soft though so this is absolutely an user error on my part. It just seems to wipe off more than blend. Will update as soon as I figure out how to properly use it.
UPDATE: I am still practicing the correct technique for using this brush, you can watch his tutorial for Brush 06 and learn with me at: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HShMQaTGhX4
Brush 08 $17:
This is the tiniest push liner brush ever! PERFECT for me since me eyes are smaller, it gets right in the lash line and between the lashes (if you want) with no effort at all. It will make tight lining a breeze as it fits perfectly on the rim this eliminating spreading product onto the lashes and lid. So far I've only used it with eyeshadow so I need to try it with gel liner.
UPDATE: OH.EM.GEE ladies! I was already blown away at how incredible this brush was but I'm even more impressed after using it with a gel liner. It in amaze-balls!!!!!! For someone that never really mastered the technique of using liquid or gel liners this brush made it a breeze, I had so much control that I had zero problems creating the perfect cat eye. Everyone that enjoys lining their eyes needs this brush! The tutorial for Brush 08 is at: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aM3nFxukpj4
The whole collection consists of 8 brushes. Each are handmade in Japan by Artisans. The handles are sturdy and the bristles are 100% cruelty free natural hairs.
