First I want to say I LOVE this brand. The way this blush is packaged is amazing, it doesn't break apart (even if you drop it) and it smells wonderful (I don't care much for fragrance) It comes with a small brush and a mirror, it is really compact so you can toss it in your purse and it won't fall apart or take up any room. The brush it comes with I would say is good for on the go only, you definitely want a proper brush to use it.
