I tried it once with a silicone brush, so it's almost new. It will be shipped in simple packaging. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or seeking perfection, as it is stored at home. In the case of used items, please use them at your own risk. Even new and unused items may not have a box. Please check the description before purchasing, as it will be stated there. Please ask any questions via comments before purchasing. Returns and exchanges are not accepted after purchase. Please purchase with your understanding.
