Pros

• perfect for travel
• brush bristles are well protected and hygienic
• natural shade
• brush is soft 
• very nice packaging
• no shedding
• brush is useful even if you finish up the blush powder
• if you love the natural blush look: this is it!
• no mess
  

Cons

• brush hairs takes a bit of time to dry up after washing
• does not last long, need to re-apply

Overall

Due to my high IQ level (Just joking!!! LOL) I didn't have a hard time figuring out on how to use this product.  I find it really nice and easy to deposit the blush pigment onto the blush and gently sweep it over my cheeks for a nice, natural shade!  Though I am a make-up artist, you would be surprised that I don't carry a lot of makeup on regular days, I hate bulky pouch and bags so I appreciate 2-in-1 products!  Clinique came out with a super handy blush with brush! 

Tips

from Clinique

• with package closed, simultaneously twist the base clockwise and cap counterclockwise so the brush picks up cheek color contained inside cap.
• Lift off cap and lightly tap brush to remove excess.
• Sweep on apples of cheeks, gently blending color up cheekbone toward temple

from AMW

• to make this last longer, apply a cream blush prior to using this blush
• if you want a natural flush: twist the base and cap around 2-3 times then apply onto your cheeks
• if you want a flushed look: twist the base and cap around 5-8 times then apply onto your cheeks
• once you're done with the blush that goes with the product, you can re-use the brush for different blushes
  

Will I repurchase?

I do wish more makeup companies would create travel friendly products like this!

Don't you wish you have this inside your makeup kit?

Keep smilin'
