Light-Expert Click Brush

I've been a user of Light Expert for a few years now and love the formula as much as ever. The new shade range was also a plus because now I have an exact match for my NW20 skin in #4 Rosy Beige. The foundation is light/silky in texture, glides on and blends effortlessly, has a beautiful satiny finish, and ok wear time (about 6 hours on me before I need to touch up). It is heavily fragranced with Terry's signature Rose scent, which I enjoy, but be aware that it is most definitely perfumed. Now for my gripe: The packaging. I hated the brush on the old packaging so I was excited to see an updated version with this launch. The brush on the current version looked to be very functional with its beveled head, purportedly densely packed-yet-soft bristles, and it's ability to be removed for washing. Upon arrival, I popped the lid off of my pen only to find a nightmarishly crooked bevel on the brush (huge humps, uneven bevel, it was just awful). Big chunks were literally just missing out of the bristles, I can't even begin to emphasize how poorly this brush was constructed. It was a big bummer, but I was willing to just not use the brush outside of initial application...well that didn't happen either. I clicked and clicked, but no product came out. I thought it may have just been a defective pen or a clog, but when I unscrewed the brush to see if it was clogged, I discovered the foundation had been pooling in the area underneath the brush instead of coming up thru. I took it completely apart and reassembled it only to have the same thing happen. I was left with a ton of wasted product and a huge mess to clean up...I was very unhappy. The amazing folks at Beautylish happily exchanged the product, and while the second brush didn't have the waste problems of the first, it too was poorly beveled and poorly constructed. Honestly, the whole thing feels flimsy and cheap in the hand and I am so disappointed. It's a fantastic formula in terrible packaging...and I strongly feel that for the price, every aspect of the product should be top-notch. I won't be repurchasing Light Expert as long as it is in this type of packaging
