Love love LOVE this blush!! I read many good things about it, and finally took the plunge when it went on sale. I am so glad I did. I have light to medium, yellow under toned skin and this gave me such a soft, feminine glow. It has a subtle shimmer, but it's not glittery or metallic looking. It lasts ALL DAY for me, which is a huge plus. Another huge plus is that it has not broken me out, and I have acne prone skin. It doesn't have a bad smell at all. I have no idea if the brush that it comes with is good or not, as I have my own blush brush that I prefer to use. The compact itself is nice and sturdy. I will definitely be repurchasing this lovely blush!
