I was drawn to the bluish-pink, iridescent pearl and bought this. I loved using it, but I haven't had much opportunity to lately, so I've been storing it at home. This is a limited edition color. The purchase date is unknown. The brush has been washed. The box has fine scratches overall. There are also some peeling parts on the corners. Please understand that this is a used item stored by a private individual. Thank you for your consideration.
