The big brushoff.




This is the extremely limited edition Botan
Brush Black by Shu Uemura. Each one is handmade. There are 150 of these in the
US, and 500 in the world. There is one in the Shu Uemura counter at Rustan’s
Makati. It costs P10,000. If you think that’s expensive, on the Shu USA site, it
retails for $375. So it’s actually half the price here in the Philippines. Oh
lordy.
