Great for blusher
-02.21.12
Quick Take: soft bristles
I use this nice, fluffy little brush for blending blush into the apples of my cheeks. I don't recommend it for foundation unless you're into streaks. 4 stars because the price is a little high (I got it as part of a set and didn't pay $12 - wot??) and you could probably find a comparable mini kabuki at the drugstore.

a VERY tiny brush
-12.09.11
i bought this brush thinking it was at least medium or pretty much decent sized....but no. it is way too small to even use as a travel brush. i don't recommend this at all. i returned mine back to sephora and got my money back.

Perfect travel companion
-10.27.11
Quick Take: soft bristles, cute
I love this brush! It has found a permanent home in my purse. I use it to apply my mineral matte translucent powder. It is great for quick touch ups. Super soft but firm enoughto hold on to powder for smooth application. The only down side is the plastic packaging. It's tough to get the brush out easily.

Quick Take: soft bristles
i don't think this is worth $12, because many free brushes packaged with blushes are almost this good, but this one is super fluffy, very soft, and just so darn cute. i hate the packaging though- the plastic case it comes in is barely bigger than the brush, so it's hard to get out and i'm always losing a bristle or 2- annoying.

Quick Take: soft bristles
The bristle are soft and it travels well. I'm happy with the brush overall, but it would be better if the bristles were fluffier.

great, but tiny!
-05.28.11
Pretty soft, but its sooo tiny! I like that though because it helps apply power a bit thicker than larger brushes. **I keep it in the little tube it came in so It doesn't loose too many bristles!**

GREAT MAKEUP BRUSH
-05.13.11
Quick Take: natural hair, soft but grabs enough powder not to make a mess
I am picky about my brushes. this brush is PERFECT for my small makeup bag that i carry in my purse. no one else makes this size, small enough so that it does not take up room in my bag, but FABULOUS enough to give the same application as a standard kabuki. it is very soft and works well with pressed or loose powder. LOVE IT

Quick Take: soft bristles
I purchased this for my blush and I absolutely love it. It's small, compact yet very easy to hold and control. The bristles don't fall out and it applies evenly.

too small
-12.23.10
the brush is a lot smaller than what i had expected and it doesn't pick up the blush like a regular brush. for the price i would invest in a bigger brush.

TINY
-12.20.10
Despite reading the other reviews, I too, found the brush to be much smaller than expected and I don't think it's worth $12. However, it does fit quite nicely in my travel makeup bag. I just wish it was bigger or less money.

I love this blush brush. I wish it was just a tiny bit bigger but really like the way the application is controlled since it is not too big!

Great brush
-07.16.10
This brush is great, I even bought a second. It is small and its shocking when you first see it but it is a good buy. It works great as a blush brush and a great travel brush.

balm brush
-05.27.10
Quick Take: soft bristles
so far I have been satisfied with Balm products, and its not super expensive either, for $12, this brush is a steal for the quality! I think its better than the bare minerals brush becuase it doesnt flake hairs off as much, I use this for Blush, and it gives a nice finish to my cheeks.

The photography on this brush is great because I had no idea how small it was. When they say "mini" they're kidding one bit. I definitely wouldn't have purchased this if I had known the actual size.
