Wonderful, I was wanting to order one.
Yep, me too, I'd love to start with this brush. The ones I have seem to eat the foundation.

It is up....I toyed with changing the title of the product because it is the Ultimate Vegan Kabuki. I will eventually change the titles of all of them to reflect which ones are in the Ultimate line.

Now I can't make up my mind. Should I get the long handled flat top or the kabuki? I've been using edm's kabuki for my foundation. I can't afford to get both right now either. I was hoping to place an order today so that it would ship out before I run out of my foundation samples. What to do what to do?

Well, very generally speaking, the kabukis with the rounder tops give a lighter coverage and the flat top ones give a heavier coverage. hth.

Yes that does help. I do generally go with a heavier coverage since I have some dark spots to cover up. Right now I have the flat top in my cart.

I really didn't like edm's flat top brush since it seemed to pull on my skin. So now I am thinking of getting the kabuki. Obviously I can go back and forth on a moments notice. :D

That's because of the type of bristles that it has. The only similarity is the general shaping - the things it's made of are entirely different. It's very gentle and oh so soft.

I'm also debating this one and the flat top one. I've been using EDMs long handled kabuki (eats SN foundation) and didn't like the EDM flat top for foundation. I was planning to get the SN kabuki, but I didn't realize it had a stubby handle! Not sure if I'll be able to get good application with a short handle (totally me and my lack of skillz) and should get the flat top instead (with the long handle) even though I hadn't had luck with EDMs...

Leaning kabuki at the moment, but I'm like Colleen, can change my mind on a moments notice...

You are making me change my mind back again. Like foureight I do like the longer handle. If it's not going to pull on my skin then it will probably be fine for me. Right now all I use my edm flat top for is going over my makeup if there is too much in one spot. It does seem to pull it around.

I wish I could just put it in the post and mail it to you to help you see what you'd be getting. I nearly did that when Moon was buying hers!
