This is an authentic, parallel import purchased from Rakuten in July of this year. I used it for about two weeks, applying it with a brush, but it didn't suit my skin, so I'm selling it. I wiped the compact with an alcohol disinfecting wipe, which left marks and what looks like glitter, but this doesn't affect the product itself. The material is a matte type that easily gets dirty. Also, the inner lid is missing. Please purchase if you don't mind these points. - Brand: NARS - Color: Marble Pattern - Type: Pressed Powder
