The intricate details across the brush and blush casing almost makes the this $50-$60 blush worth buying (only if your a sucker for pretty packaging like me).
The steep price is my only criticism, besides that, I absolutely love it!
The blush is a finely milled powder (IT'S SO SOFT IT SERIOUSLY FEELS LIKE SILK O_o) and it has a pleasant and light floral smell.
Don't worry if you can't stand fragranced cosmetics because once you apply the blush, you can't smell it on your face.

It is heavily pigmented so use a light hand when applying this blush. Although the brush that comes with the blush is super soft, I think it's too stiff to apply such a pigmented blush. The blush stays on the entire day even through humidity and rain.

Now back to the packaging. The blush conveniently comes with an attached plastic divider. On the front, it is decorated with the usual Jill Stuart design while in the back, it is made of a foam material which makes it easier to dab the pigments off the brush. I love the compact mirror in the case (my friend always comments on how it reminds her of Sailor Moon xD). I know when most people hear loose powder they think "IT'S GONNA SPILL EVERYWHERE," but that's not true with this blush. Never once has this blush accidentally opened and vomited pink glitter over my belongings.
