I really don't know if the brush is actually red or not because when I bought the mascara the brush was obviously covered in mascara. What I can tell you is that this stuff works magic! I have almost little to no eyelashes at all; they're very short and hard to see, so you can pretty much image why I would want to buy some mascara. Well I went out and got this not long after it came out and I must say that it did a great job in filling out my lashses. It makes my lashses fuller and it even makes them appear longer.
Even though it the name of the smell is burnt brown sugar, this stuff actually smells very good. My boyfriend loves when I use it and when I don't use and use another shower gel, or bar soap, he notices the difference. The exfoliating beads aren't rough so they won't harm sensitive skin, yet they do the trick. When I get out of the shower my skin feels soft and hydrated.
I have both the regular(green) kind and the purple (lavender) kind. Both of them works the same it's just that the purple one has a more inviting smell. I use lavender a lot when I'm stressed or headed to bed and use the green bottle when I'm going out and want an all over smooth and moisturized feel to my body. I put this on as soon as I get out of the shower, I take my towel and slightly blot my body so I can leave a little moisture on my skin and then rub this in on my body and for the rest of the day my skin is totally moisture with no dry or flaky spots. As an added bonus it also leaves your skin super soft!
