I wondered why it was fairly expensive but I can see now it's very nice quality. Its bigger than I thought too. You can pull out the disk which comes with a awesome flexible spatula. I use it because I often have to mix foundations to get the right colour or use a thinner etc & I love that it can be popped into the outer container and the makeup doesn't dry up. I tested it by putting in a few drops of a liquide foundation & shut the lid and it was still wet hours later. It means you can mix the perfect colour and not worry about it drying out before you're finished. I'm glade I bought it & think it would be great for travel & on the go. Easy to clean
