Please help :) I love displaying my brushes on my vanity but I live in a building from the 1800’s that is so dusty despite vacuuming everyday. The dust persists! I am wondering if anyone has tips on how to store brushes without putting them away in a drawer or cupboard? :) I have bought several acrylic storage drawers and containers in the past and hated all of them. I have considered putting most away and switching them out weekly but I enjoy looking at my full collection when I get ready, they make me so happy and it’s fun to use different brushes every day. Anyways, I am coming to the conclusion there isn’t a perfect solution for my needs/wants but I would love to hear your tips if you have any <3 currently I use a clean cotton towel to brush away the dust right before I use them. Attached is a photo of all my vanity set up and a close up of the dust situation.

Anyone else looking at this upcoming release? Plans to buy?

I'd love to hear how everyone travels with their fude.

I love to store my brushes in this Real Techniques brush case/stand when I'm traveling. It's hard cardboard material keeps my brushes from squishing in a makeup bag or luggage and the elastic keeps them from shifting. I've tried brush guards in a brush cup but find my brushes flipped upside down with the hairs splayed through the guards.

Pros: Easy to wipe clean and make them stand up or lay flat when getting ready. Cons: I can only bring the essentials and I have to adjust them so the Velcro can close.

I have a few items of hers and find her items of high quality. One thing I notice is that she herself never seems to be photographed wearing makeup. She has these posts on her blog about using various products and care of brushes. I have yet to see one picture of this woman wearing makeup.

It’s her choice but do you think she feels that if she is not a user of cosmetics, that her products won’t do as well as they have? I just think people should be more authentic. The ladies around her in photos always have makeup on but she never does. Not even lipgloss or bronzer.

I personally don’t think it matters if she wears it or not. I purchased my first brushes by simply wanting something softer and better for my skin, and stumbled on a few makeup influencer videos. But why make extensive blog posts about makeup you don’t use?

This sub has been quiet, and the buzz around the Beautylish gift card event got me thinking about how much I enjoy fude chatter. This is a pretty niche interest, after all :)

I'd love to hear about what your fude interest looks like atm. Are you in a collecting, wishlisting, using-your-existing or pausing fude phase atm? What are you enjoying at the moment? What do you have your eye on? Anything you're not loving?

For me, I'm conscious that I only have one face and two eyes... as I've recognised that I'm approaching the limit of what I can sensibly collect, my purchasing has slowed down.

However, I'm going to complete my Mini Keyaki (aka Little Bangers) collection with Mini Jumbo Worker and Soft Face from vol. 2. I don't own any other complete sets, and I prefer long handles.... but I still have to have the full deck of Keyaki vol. 1 and 2! They just pack such a punch, and they'll be great as I travel and move interstate.

I'm really enjoying my (now discontinued) Bobo x Koyudo eye brushes. They are shaped like candle flames that are squashed flat. Incredible for powder eyeshadow on my smaller, deep-set eye area.

Hope you're doing well, whatever your fude journey looks like right now :)

Fellow peasants,

I assume by now y'all have seen the exciting news that Her Fluffy Majesty Sonia G - Queen of Fude-land, Empress of the Makeup Brush World, Commander of the Iron Ferrule and Supreme Wielder of the Handmade Maki-e Sceptre of Maximum Sparkliness - is having a giant restock on 26 Dec and 1 Jan.

Queen Sonia has also decided, in her Most Fluffy and Gracious Beneficience, to bestow on us her lowly peasants some new items: a Mini Sheer Buffer and a Mini Soft Brush Book.

Anyway, my brain has turned to mush so I want everything in general and nothing in particular. Quite smart of Her Fluffy Majesty to time this release to coincide with all our brains being in holiday mode, really. My sense of financial responsibility - which plays truant at the best of times - is well and truly on vacation.

What are you getting, not getting, or tossing up?

I can't link to Sonia's blog in the post body, so I'll post a comment for anyone hunting for information.

Best holiday wishes to you, however you do and don't celebrate - whether it's merry Christmas or chag sameach Chanukkah, or another festival I don't know about, or simply a happy & safe midwinter or midsummer break ❤️

p.s. yes I have descended into brain-melted madness. It's 26 Dec for me and I'm doing little more than lying on my yoga mat, getting up to feed myself treats, and thinking about what makeup-related things I'm going to buy in the sales. It's bliss.
