i have it and i like it - it works well for me. honestly, the 219 is probably better, but if you can't afford that, then i think the CVS essence of beauty crease brush is a good substitute. i managed to get a package with 2 crease brushes - a larger one and a smaller one - and then this smudge brush with a rubberish tip (kinda like the smudgers you see on some eyeliner pencils) for only $4.99. can't beat the price!

Thank you

i think i am going to try it out and if i dont like it i will just buy the other one in a couple of weeks!

is it firm? they have it packaged so that you cant feel it :/ i dont want to get it home and see that it is flimsy

when you say "firm" idk what exaclt you mean (like, how firm?) but i would say it's more soft and fluffy.
