it is ok [SEP] all the loreal was off at rite aid so i grabbed this not realizing that it was something i passed up when it first came out bc i thought it was kind of a gimmick still do the sponge applicator comes to a small point and i was surprised to be able to do a pseudo wing shape at the outer corner you do need to use a blending brush to work the fade and i also do a transition color using another brush i do find it quicker than using brushes and powder alone but since you have to re dip for more powder even when it is brand new i am wondering how much effort it is gonna be once the product starts to get used up you will probably have to not only twist the sponge applicator all the way back into the cap to pick up more but also tap it to release more powder onto the appllicator that would be annoyingthe color is pretty a lighter brighter purple than i expected overall i would say it is ok not great not awful for i do not mind that i picked it up and i will keep it
