    ~Edit~ I would like to tell you all that I am THRILLED to have this brush set, someone commented below and educated me about how the fur for them is collected. I think 95% of me not being super excited about the brushes at first stemmed from me finding out they were animal fur. I love animals and don't want them to be hurt for the sake of beauty. I now feel much better knowing all of the hair is naturally shed!
    I would like to apologize for the photos with prices being off in timing, they were fine when I edited the video but i think something happened when I exported it. Still works though! Thank you guys for watching and I look forward to hearing your opinions in the comments!

      Sonja G brushes are hand crafted in Japan. The handles are hollowed out walnut. Watch a video on the process and you'll be amazed. The squirrel and goat hair come from animals that are treated exceptionally well, like family pets. They are gathered from naturally shedded hair.

      Wow! That actually makes me feel a lot better, when I first learned that they were real animal hair I felt a little sick to my stomach which I think impacted my excitement to get them because I love animals and was concerned about them being killed for their fur, however if it is all naturally shed fur that makes a world of difference and I am actually thrilled to have them and I am excited to try them! The hollowed out part explains why they felt so lightweight for them being wood. Thank you for the information I feel SO MUCH better about owning these brushes now!

      I bought this box and it’s my first time too. I hope I get the same palette I love greens. I actually hope I get the same exact items as you. I like what you got in the box. I’d be happy. I was afraid it would be tons of hair stuff, lashes, and sunscreen which I don’t want. I don’t use a lot on my hair and it’s very healthy. I can’t use lashes I’m allergic to glue. It’s why I stopped Ann my sub boxes years ago. I haven’t bought any makeup for years. I have none of these things. Have a great day!

      @@dixierae3442 it seems the brush brand has a major following, and for it to be a major brand I would think if there WERE inhumane things happening that it would be leaked info so I'm going to go ahead and believe they are ethical, sans any proof otherwise. I understand your concern though!

      To be fair, I'm not ~completely~ clueless, it just so happened that the things I got were things I wasn't familiar with. I own more makeup than any human should and know quite a bit about mid tier makeup like too faced, urban decay, Anastasia Beverly hills, etc, and drugstore brands like morphe, revolution, colour pop, etc. it's the high end stuff that I really don't know what im looking at 🥺 I've never been in a financial position to consider spending half a paycheck on a set of brushes so things like that go over my head until I do the research lol

      I actually love my box! I was very put off by the fact that the brushes were animal hair until I was told the hair is ethically sourced, that's where a lot of the lack of interest came from, I don't believe animals should be hurt for the sake of vanity but to know they're not, makes a huge difference in how I feel about my box now vs in the video 🥰

      Same 🤣 I do know how to use the brushes but I'm the kind of person that uses like 3 brushes and that's it. I have one that I use to put the actual eyeshadow down, one for adding color to the outer corners, and a third for doing under my lashes, the inner corner of my eye, and my brow bone highlight. I know I will get use out of the blending brushes at least because I use that kind of brush to lay down eyeshadow. I'll probably use the small pencil brush for under my lash line and the one I called a flat shader for the outer corners but idk what to do with the rest of them. I guess that's part of the fun of it, figuring out new ways to apply makeup you maybe hadn't thought of before! 🥰

    Hey! I just found your channel. You definitely got lucky. You got some of the top name brands so that’s awesome 🤩. The ND palette is cheaper because it’s a bit older now and I don’t think there is a huge high demand for that particular one anymore. I have it and it’s beautiful 😍. I have a lot of ND palettes. Her newer one are soooo expensive. Viseart is a good brand as well. I have a couple but only because they were on sale lol. CT I’m gonna be truthful here and say I have tried her eyeshadows and I’m not a fan. I got a couple different quad palettes and to me it’s not worth that price. I’m use to ND, Huda Beauty, PMG and Ofra! Those are my top ones and now I’m dabbling into some indie brands and I’m really loving them. The good molecules brand is a beauty list brand. There is always something from that brand in every mystery box lol. I really think you should practice with those beautiful green ND colours. I think by looking at your eyes the greens will make your eyes pop. Now when you said Sonya G I actually swore out loud lol. I would love to get that set. OMG 😱 everyone else is getting one random Sonya G brush in their boxes lol. I’m so happy for you 😊! Congratulations 🎉 you really did get a lucky box. I subscribed to your channel ♥️

    • @theunusuallifeofmonica

      Thank you! You're very sweet 🥰 I have SO MUCH eyeshadow but none that are the tier of Natasha Denona, it will be my first time using hers so I'm VERY excited to have gotten a full size of her palette! What you said about it being older and less in demand makes sense, because I could have sworn her eyeshadow was like $120 for a palette. Either way I am thrilled to have it. There is a nice trio of pinks in it that I can use, and some brown shades that I can pair with the shimmers. The blues will get some use, I just have to figure out how to make it look best on me lol 😂 I don't want to walk around looking like a lady of the night 😂😂😂 I appreciate your comment 🥰

    I would suggest next year just opting for the regular bag if you're not really invested in "brand value," which having ordered both the regular and XL, I can say the XL relies on more than the smaller one. The smaller price tag can definitely limit disappointment if you don't find everything "amazing"

    • @theunusuallifeofmonica
      @theunusuallifeofmonica  Рік тому

      I am thrilled with my bag, as I said in a few other comments, I was taken aback that over half of the over all value was in one item, I had never heard of that brand before, AND the worst part was finding out it was real animal hair. I was very put off because I had worst case scenarios in my head about animals being hurt for our vanity, BUT someone in the comments informed me that the hair in collected when it is naturally shed, which made ALL the difference in how I feel about them. I am now thrilled to own such fancy brushes. Also, I ordered the big box because I was hoping for high end things like Natasha Denona and Viseart, both of which I got, I just had not heard of the brush brand before. If i get the opportunity to buy another box it will be the XL again.
