I passed on this particular set but I’m here watching to support you Alicia ! ❤🎉 I have more than a handful of squirrel, blue squirrel & even rare red squirrel eye brushes from Wayne goss, kuyodo, chikuhodo & Yano series & one small pencil brush from Sonia (from one of her very special releases) & they are my least used brushes 😢 not because I dislike them but because I just don’t reach for them 😅 that type of hair is so delicate too; it’s also recommended NOT to wash them very often because you run the risk of ruining the bristles … I own just about every eye brush from Sonia & I’ve recently had the mentality of “you can’t have it all” 😅 & I have sooooo many eye brushes that I’m being more picky of what if any I add to my collection 😊 I did however get the other newer set ❤ lastly I wasn’t too wowed by the shapes of this particular set so I’m happy to have passed & let everyone else who wanted them get a shot at getting & enjoying them ❤🙌😌💃🏻 ps … had the brushes been sold individually however I would’ve picked up at least one 😅 probably the biggest brush to use it as a highlighting brush ❤
Alicia, I truly enjoy all your videos. I was lucky to get this special set and I love them with ESUM eyeshadows, especially with the Artistry #4, as its colors are stronger, but the delivery of these brushes is lovely and the perfect intensity to appreciate the color. This was my first eye set in blue squirrel and now a big fan and searching for additional brushes in other brands. I hope Sonia creates a face set!!!
Girl, I’m a collector of Sonia, G‘s brushes and I swear anytime she drops a new product /brush set I literally come running to your channel you give the best recommendations and you absolutely nail it when describing the product. Thank you for giving the best reviews
Alicia, I don't usually comment however let me tell you.... I love your knowledge on brushes, you do such a phenomenal job teaching us about em!❤❤❤ I picked up both of the new sets and in my opinion they're worth every penny! Thank you. xoxo
These brushes are nothing short of ethereal! As someone with small, hooded, super sensitive eyes, this set was so perfect for me. That smudger is EVERYTHING. I love Sonia's smudgers, and I think this is the best one she's come out with yet. And I was surprised with how useful the Arched Worker brush is -- totally thought it would be too big for me, but something about the way the bristles move allows me to use it even though it's technically too big. Thank you so much for your review! I always enjoy listening to you talk about brushes :)
Agreed! They are truly out of this world 😮💨 Sonia makes the best smudgers HANDS DOWN! They’re cleverly designed, and makes shadow liner work virtually effortless. I’m so happy that you’re able to use Arched Worker! 😭
Congratulations Alicia to receiving this set in PR. After a long internal debate ( it is a lot of money for me ) I promptly purchased at 10am PT during the final restock on Tuesday. AND I am happy - it is truly a work of art and function and deserves the status "limited edition". Your video is a great help for me how to best use my set and I especially enjoyed the last part with you suggestions how to compliment this set with other brushes if one feels the need. The way this set is curated simply blows my mind. STUNNING. I am in awe of the artistry and craftsmanship. Also I do appreciate the way you are diving back and deeper into your collections on your channel. My goal is to sepnd my money wisely and to enjoy and use my purchases for a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your input and thoughts. ( I adore the way your choosen nail colours compliment the set - Chef's kiss )
I’ve been binging your videos on brushes and have created a wish list. I will be purchasing a couple face brushes to start and continue little by little. Thank you for always being so thorough with your videos it’s greatly appreciated❤
I did a fabulous look last light with only one brush from this set, the arched worker! I haven't been wearing make-up... probably once a month... so I am out of practice. This brush made quick work of a "daytime smoky eye." Also... it's a gorgeous collection. The packaging! The detail! Swoon! The angles of the brush fibers made it so easy to place color and blend, giving me a quick, sultry look in minutes. So happy with this brush.
Hi Alicia, I'm so glad to see you received this incredible set from Sonia, it's lovely. I was lucky to have ordered the set in the first wave but have only just pulled them into my brush rotation and used them this week. so freaking in love with how they apply my eyeshadows, I used them with blend bunny surge palette and the blend and application is everything i could wish for. they handle pigment really well, i especially loved the liner brush with those super smooth metallic's because it looked like liquid metal by the time i finished the wing.
So happy I finally got these. It was a debate with my mind and heart to spend or not to spend 😅 truly enjoyed this video and the other SG videos as well. I was wondering if you plan on doing a video comparing the Tradiitions and the fundamentals sode by side ? I purchased the fundamentals almost right before the traditions came out 😢 and have been trying to figure out the differences. And dreaming for a comparison then you ☺️❤️
Hi Alicia! Thank you for another great video! I am considering investing on a brush set with natural hair and preferably on the soft side, for that "wash of color", you know :D I don't know if I will be able to purchase this one, but even I was not able, all the info, the details and the why this, and when to use it and how.. all that is amazingly useful to make the best choice when it is time to make the purchase. I recently purchased my first Mothership (Sublime) and I am IN LOVE WITH IT!!! I get so many new ideas for makeup looks, thanks to your videos. It is honestly one of the best parts of my day, when I can finally sit down, drink a good cup of coffee while watching your tutorials and reviews. You really bring joy and a fresh breeze to my day with your sincere and lovely personality.. and I am sure all your other subscribers will agree with me ;) Big and warm hugs from cold Denmark hehe XO
Alicia, great brush vid! They look so visually stunning. I’ve been enjoying my new Koyudo Yoshiki eye brushes lately and am now eyeing the Yoshiki Superior brushes! 🫣
I have bought 2 sets of brushes from Sonia in a short period which I love Another pair of brushes was a bit to much for me, I think I wait for some time now. Dude beauty has a lot of brushes who are so lovely, but I have to wait😅
I bought this set with the 2nd round and I have 0 regrets even was very expensive-around $380 (Australia). It’s gorgeous and very good quality.😍 Also I have the previous holiday set (squirrel hair as well) and I love that one as much as this one. Now I’m saving money for the latest eye brush set (saikoho goat hair). 😁 Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thx, Alicia. I didn't get this brush set since I thought I had similar brushes with different brands of Fude in my collection. But I am quite intriqued looking at the largest brush. I wonder if it was similar to the Hakuhodo Kokutan Large Eye Brush?
Okay but hear me out on the arch worker... I think it would be great for small, hooded eyes. It is arched, not pointed, but you can place the shadow on the tip of the brush and the angle of the side is going to help you lift your crease so that it is visible. Then you slightly turn the brush and sweep up and out or grab a lighter shade to blend out the line. I'm not sure I explained that right because I'm in New Orleans and had a few drinks 😂😂 I think most people watching your channel understand letting the brush do the work. I'm just trying to offer perspective as an 😮💨 older woman with smaller eyes. The brush is not that big if you are using the shape to your advantage. Don't go at your eye like you have a dull jumbo Crayola 😂
I preordered them, and when they arrived I couldn't believe the packaging and how beautiful these brushes were in person.. Hubby said are you going to use them? Ummmm No.. He said well why would you want them? I laughed and said, because they're Sonia G!
😂 oh no friend ! That’s why I didn’t get them ! I already have so many brushes in squirrel & even rare red squirrel brushes (both face & eyes) that I don’t touch ! 😢 use & enjoy them friend ! 😊

The only channel where I like the video as soon as it starts because I already KNOW it’s gonna be the best upload of the week! This was no exception!
Yes!! Thankyou SO much. I was lucky enough to get my mitts on them. I'm opening my beautylish box after watching video 🎉

It’s a dangerous rabbit hole to fall down… but fun!
@@elissacox4291 I see that but I feel like Im good for the most part on makeup so it’s time to upgrade all my brushes.
I ended up picking up this set and I’m glad I did because it has brushes that I am missing in my collection.
I did a fabulous look last light with only one brush from this set, the arched worker! I haven't been wearing make-up... probably once a month... so I am out of practice.

Loving your review, loving your twisty hair 🥰
I love this set! So gorgeous. The bristles are so beautiful. And the shapes work so great!
Fabulous review.
I’m not where I can justify more brushes so I just have to live vicariously through you.
I appreciate you watching!
I absolutely love your videos! They're always so thoughtful and thorough! And Sonia's blog is such a great resource as well!! 😊❤

Ooooo I need to try them with my blend bunny palette that was kindly sent as a gift from a subscriber 😍

The traditions one from last year or the Keyaki Kakishibu set?
@@aliciaarcher Sorry. It’s the Traditions Series: Keyaki Kakishibu from this year. Thank you 😊

Another pair of brushes was a bit to much for me, I think
I wait for some time now. Dude beauty has a lot of brushes who are so lovely, but I have to wait😅
Loving that nude makeup on you, could not agree more re the need for a softer application 😊
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I purchased this set because it’s beautiful 😍! I own all her eye brush sets; however, I was struggling with how to use it.
Thank you for your review, my brushes were delivered today I’m so excited I got them. I missed the 1st 2 drops
Woohoo! They have arrived!
I bought this set with the 2nd round and I have 0 regrets even was very expensive-around $380 (Australia).

Ah yes! The traditions trio is exquisite! I’m happy to know that you don’t regret your purchase, and saving for the Kakishibu set will be worth it!
Looking good lady! Looking forward to settling in with your review.
You've sold me!
Another great video, 💜💜💜
Thank you, Lori 🥰

Agreed! You can maneuver it well, and because it’s so soft the blend will follow your lead. You’re making sense even if under the influence! 🤣
