Shodo brushes are exquisite. I am 71 with very large eyes that are more deep-set with age, and I don’t like heavy makeup. I think you said it all, they give a very diffuse and soft effect, and I would add they do all the work for you. A few delicate swipes and the application, diffusing and color level is done. A great addition to my small collection.
Hi Alicia, I had to come back and let you know I bought the set of 5 Shodo brushes, OMG I’m in love with these brushes, i want another set but they are soldout. We need you to show us how to use the new 01 and 04 Shodo brushes. 😘Just ordered that Koyo brush can’t wait to receive it, Merry Christmas to me. I own all of Rephr brushes and they do not disappoint ever but these Shodo brushes are my new favorite, I’ve never been able to really blend my shadows like you but with these I can, I have mature eyes, 70. If they start a new line with Shodo brushes I will buy them.
This type of review is the perfect marriage of expertise in an industry and loving a product. Alicia, not only did you fully educate me on the Rephr brushes, but you made me fall in love with them and I haven’t even received my shipment yet! Thank you for this review, fantastic as always!💞💞
I am setting my alarm. These brushes are very special. Thank you for including your thoughts on this release. Those wispy eye brush tips are special! I hope I can buy at least two of everything. These will make great gifts.
I hope Rephr patents the calligraphy brush design because it's a great way to create the semblance of a much more expensive, higher end bristle brush at a fraction of the cost.
Thank you so much! I can always count on your videos to provide all the info I need to make an informed decision on brushes. As a watercolor enthusiast I was especially appreciative the Shodo brushes were developed using Japanese Calligraphy brush making techniques. That knowledge combined with your insights helped me decide and I just purchased the Shodo set (the Koyo would not fit my routine as well). I'm really looking forward to using them.
Hello Alicia! I haven't caught one of your videos in quite sometime, as I fell out of the makeup sphere and into the indie nail polish sphere lol I remember you used to talk about your nail polish and I always found it interesting, but I could never take the plunge and buy some. Well I found Polish Pickup in January and the rest is history !
I had no idea these were coming out, but when I got the launch email & checked them out online...well...I pounced on that cart button like a cheetah after pray😂 This is a launch that got me sooo excited & knew I HAD TO have both!!! Rephr have really stepped their game up this time! I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival & can't wait to play with them. Thank you so much for your in depth review, which confirms exactly what I was anticipating with this launch. ❤
I think you are very articulate. You described and raved on this brushes so convincingly, I just made my first rephr purchase (using your link). I love how you review products. And I appreciate your efforts in explaining everything in great detail.
I just purchased both releases and this is one Holiday release I'm so excited for. Thank you for the review, this helped me decide if I wanted to purchase or not since I'm becoming a collector of brushes lol!
I’ve received these both & they are stunning ❤🎉😍👏🏼🤩 the bundle price was really reasonable considering what you’re getting ! I highly recommend these & my hooded lids are screaming of happiness with the eye brushes ! ❤
Sooooo beautiful. The bobo would be better for my needs but I might have to have rephr just because I love the handle so much! Never say never I guess - thought I wasn't a rephr girl as I like a fancy handle... now here they are with one of the fanciest handles I've ever seen... with fall leaves that I absolutely love... and goat/squirrel mix that I love too! I'm in danger lol
Hello, my friend! I just placed my order using your affiliate code. I will rewatch your post about these gorgeous brushes this afternoon. Great review!
Thank you for showcasing these brushes before release!! I'm in love with Bobo's Nebulae CH-1. ❤ I am planning to pick up the eye brushes. They look very interesting.
Such a great detailed review. 👌 You've given us so knowledge & I learned so much regarding bushes & the hair. A question I do have is what's the benefit to being pinched on one side?
Alicia, I am brand new to the world of Fude brushes and this koyo one was my first one ever (and so far only one) but I wanna kick myself for not getting two of them now that it’s sold out. In your opinion with all of your knowledge and experience, what is very similar to the koyo brush? I need something that offers that diffused veil of product like the koyo does. TYIA!!! ❤
I own all of Rephr's brushes and will also get these... I love them all except the synthetic ones they recently done and those were even okay. The tapered foundation one was pretty good. I am really excited about these... I will get them all.
Thank you for this review, Alicia! I have posted the following question before, and forgive me if the answer is, you don’t want to talk about it. But I’m assuming the answer is you didn’t see my question. How is your skin fasting journey going? I’m curious how that is going for people who have tried it. I’ve always known that skincare is really just colorless makeup, but I’m wondering if people who skip it have better results and healthier skin in the long run. Thanks!
I ordered both of these, this is my first time ordering from Repher, Thanks, Alicia😀. I have been wanting to try Repher for a while now. I also ordered the new The Kyoto Winter Maki-e Collection by Chikuhodo x Beautylish. Are you getting them? I also ordered the BK Beauty Holy Grail set. All of these on the same day. I hope there are no new brushes coming out.
I didn't like how they didn't release both saibikoho brushes at the same time last year. I would have bought the angled one if I had a choice. This year's is more beautiful, though. If they split the collection, I willl get the eye brushes.
It's back in stock and I just ordered it for just less than half price as they have additional discount ( code Gifting ) and I didn't realise I had store credited of £12.00!! 😊
Well well well, the Japanese brush master has entered the ring 🙇♀️ Was waiting for this review 😬 That handle is flipping stunning! I have the CH-1 (love it), but I simply must have this! And holy mother of gorgeous eye looks 😮 But I'll probably pass on the eye brushes.
EVERYONE CLEAR YOUR WORK CALENDARS! Nooo I cannot attend this meeting im refreshinf the rephr website some people want oasis or glasto tickets we just want a brush!

The Shodo brushes sound like my dreeaaam brush (I have actually wondered for some time what it would be like to paint my eyes with calligraphy brushes 🥰) but I don't have a lot of soft powder eyeshadows. I'm curious how they would work with other formulas 🤔
The thing that has always kept me from even considering natural hair brushes is the question of how they get the animal hair. So, how do they get the hair?
Alicia, I am natural hair ignorant. What do you mean when you say squirrel hybrid? Is it squirrel and synthetic? Squirrel and goat? Different breads of squirrel? Sorry for this ignorant question, but I need wisdom Pleaseeeee
I love rephr bc of the quality n affordability but these … wow.. 100 for one wow… that’s a lot … I hope this is just bc it’s a special release. These are what i consider my “luxury “ brand but at this price…. Nah… bye rephr😢
It is a limited release-considering that they used both squirrel and goat hair, and the maki-e lacquer technique for the handle, cedar wood for the box, this is actually a competitive price compared to other brushes with similar characteristics.
You do the best and most thorough brush reviews, Alicia! Thank you for going through all of the details and the demos!

Wow at first look at thought it was something by Sonia G ok Rephr stepping up their game
Rephr is definitely “bringing it” with this launch. I will purchase the face brush because it’s just so beautiful.

"I'm not saying you need both!" - I love the way you said that Alicia!
Love your videos ❤
Really informative - thank you!
I am setting my alarm. These brushes are very special. Thank you for including your thoughts on this release. Those wispy eye brush tips are special! I hope I can buy at least two of everything. These will make great gifts.
Thank you, Alicia. I signed up early when I go the email. I have last year's brush but this one...I am ON IT:) Great job as usual!
The way you describe and analyze brushes is magnificent ❤
I hope Rephr patents the calligraphy brush design because it's a great way to create the semblance of a much more expensive, higher end bristle brush at a fraction of the cost.

This is probably the first thing this year I'm beyond excited for! Do you know what time launch is? Might have to push a meeting 😂
I believe they release 12pm ET!

I just came here for you to convince me that I “need” these. 😂
lol this comment made me laugh 😂 I was thinking I just need Alicia’s blending skills 😊

These are beautiful. I wish we could get synthetic brushes with the beautiful artwork on the handle. Maybe one day.
these brushes look so unique!! it will be my first time trying out Rephr brushes and i'm quite excited :)
Alicia, I can always count on you for the best, detailed brush reviews/demos!
Will Definitely buy these brushes! Rephr is my nr 1! Have them all!!🤩 Thanks for the demo Alicia!
Ordered brushes thru your link. Thank you again and as always for the thorough reviews. 💜✌🏽

Just ordered the bundle of all four brushes using your link, Alicia - thanks so much for another fantastic in-depth review ❤
The brushes are beautiful!! THose leavessss! And hooray for the black squirrel mix! Loved your analysis as always, dear Alicia!
Thank you Alice! I I appreciate your experience with this brush!!! I will purchase this!!!
I just bought the Koyo brush. I am starting to love that shape. Thank you for the review.😊
Bought them, used your code. Thank you for another great review!

Stunning brushes and your makeup looks incredible! One day I’ll be able to do my makeup like you, until then we keep practicing 😂

Saving this video for my lunch break tonight! 😮😮 I'm so excited to watch!
What hair type are the soho brushes made with?
Thank you Alicia! Very interesting brushes!
I own all of Rephr's brushes and will also get these... I love them all except the synthetic ones they recently done and those were even okay. The tapered foundation one was pretty good. I am really excited about these... I will get them all.

They are all beautiful. ❌️⭕️
Hello! I just bought 2 sets for Christmas presents using your code. They look just so good❤
what code was that ?
What a beautiful brush ❤ great insight xx
I didn't like how they didn't release both saibikoho brushes at the same time last year. I would have bought the angled one if I had a choice. This year's is more beautiful, though.
If they split the collection, I willl get the eye brushes.
Thanks for this video. Which eyeshadows do you wear ? Thanks:)
I want this. What time does it launch?
Hello, unfortunately it is sold out 😔do you think it will be back in stock or not? thank you. Catherine 🥰
It's back in stock and I just ordered it for just less than half price as they have additional discount ( code Gifting ) and I didn't realise I had store credited of £12.00!! 😊
If they have their brush soap available i recommend that
How do their get the hair from the squirel?
Great video. Thank you. I really want both!
Well well well, the Japanese brush master has entered the ring 🙇♀️
Was waiting for this review 😬
That handle is flipping stunning! I have the CH-1 (love it), but I simply must have this!
And holy mother of gorgeous eye looks 😮
But I'll probably pass on the eye brushes.
EVERYONE CLEAR YOUR WORK CALENDARS! Nooo I cannot attend this meeting im refreshinf the rephr website some people want oasis or glasto tickets we just want a brush!
Thank you for always explaining this in a way I can understand. I definitely want these. Question what do you use to wash these brushes ?
I use a Hakuhodo soap that I have, or the old beauty blender soap solids. Any gentle, fragrance free soap/shampoo will work!
@@tianiortiz8529 Rephr also sells soap for your brushes!
They got out of stock so fast! I was waiting pay day to buy koyo but not sure if they will be back in stock 😢
It's back in stock and I just ordered it for just less than half price as they have additional discount ( code Gifting ) and I didn't realise I had store credited of £12.00!! 😊
I regret clicking on this….i was like ‘no, I don’t need them’….then I watched this and promptly bought them 😫
Yes, me too.
The Shodo brushes sound like my dreeaaam brush (I have actually wondered for some time what it would be like to paint my eyes with calligraphy brushes 🥰) but I don't have a lot of soft powder eyeshadows. I'm curious how they would work with other formulas 🤔
Thanks as always for the delicious review! I am equal parts salivating and crying that I probably won't be able to afford these before they sell out 😅
Just kidding...got the Shodo set and they're already en route 🙌🏾
The thing that has always kept me from even considering natural hair brushes is the question of how they get the animal hair. So, how do they get the hair?
I have a community post outlining this topic, but in short-the brush makers source their hair from the pest, food, and fashion industries.
@@aliciaarcher🤢
That makes sense with goat since a lot of people eat them. Squirrel is weird though.
@@KB0101 apparently squirrels are seen as pests as they munch on people’s gardens.
❤❤❤
❤
Alicia, I am natural hair ignorant. What do you mean when you say squirrel hybrid? Is it squirrel and synthetic? Squirrel and goat? Different breads of squirrel? Sorry for this ignorant question, but I need wisdom
Pleaseeeee
Squirrel and goat I think.
Hybrid meaning it’s both squirrel and goat-
I love rephr bc of the quality n affordability but these … wow.. 100 for one wow… that’s a lot … I hope this is just bc it’s a special release. These are what i consider my “luxury “ brand but at this price…. Nah… bye rephr😢
It is a limited release-considering that they used both squirrel and goat hair, and the maki-e lacquer technique for the handle, cedar wood for the box, this is actually a competitive price compared to other brushes with similar characteristics.
