Decided to splurge and use my 20% for this brush. The handle is about six inches and has a nice Lucite weight. The bristles are somewhat dome shaped and very soft. It's not that packed and firm so its' suitable only for loose powder and not compact powder or foundation. The tip has a gold rim with tiny crystals around it. The case is velvety soft and also has a teeny tiny crystal near the logo bar. The clutch closes magnetically and has space for other brushes. It's really gorgeous. The best part was a $25 gift card inclosed to use at Alexis Bittar and I found a gorgeous necklace on sale, using the gift card I spent about $45 for $170 necklace. The $15 ship from the Bittar site was was really ridiculous though. Anyway, its a great little splurge and keepsake. It's not really an essential brush but more of a gift and luxury item.
