i have to say, i have many bdellium brushes and overall very satisfied with them. this brush is very well made and beautiful in person. the size is good, med to large. the problem is with bristles. they don't feel or perform like hairs (like my Sedona lace kabuki for example). imagine a fishing line only a lot thinner. that's what they feel like. they don't grab powder properly and don't deposit it correctly. also the brush is not dense. bristles are very springy, they bend all the way to the handle when you trying to swirl the brush on your skin. I am very very disappointed. I wish I could return this brush or exchange it for another one. Sedona lace kabuki is a lot more dense and firm but softer at the same time.I had got this for my GF an it can came in some what early.My GF blew up in joy she was so damn happy it made me happy it was not to big but it was very small good size that's what she had saidEverything about it was great so if any one is going to buy this I would get this not bad at all! 5/5How much it is shown in the picture. wonderful colors. Soft texture. Gentle on the skinI just love it!! xx xxxxxxxxx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
