Good god, two of my messages in a row. Sorry for that! But I do have a question: though the quality of the long handled H blush brush hasn’t wowed me, I have just ordered a backup. It’s so pretty to look at and was sold out virtually overnight in the spring. A few days it has popped up at a German luxury retailer, and I ordered immediately. It arrived today, and while the brush itself looks perfectly fine, I was a little surprised to see ripped cardboard , and, instead of the plastic bristle cover, the ferrule was wrapped in silk paper. How was your blush brush packaged? I don’t want to be a stickler, but I think there is a good chance this is an already returned item. The brush packaging wasn’t good to begin with, but for an $100 brush, sloppy seconds aren’t exactly winning me over. Thanks for your input. Hope you all are having a great weekend!!
