Back to the brush since that was the question: my kit ($15 from TJMax) had a very small brush...floppy, almost unusable....maybe you can mix creams in a bowl then paint to face ( Cremo horse brush is more usable). Interestingly my brother got a similar kit A S, his daughter paid full price....., he got a better, thicker, bigger brush and I think the creams were also bigger...... . I had forgotten about this tiny brush. If you like small, get an Omega either badger or mixed mighty midget.....great stuff.
