The brushes are what youd expect in a kit like this, not super high quality, but good for travel, esp on a weekend trip when maybe you dont want to bring your nice ones and risk losing them. The mirror light is fairly bright and has a USB charger, but no cable came with mine. Has a good variety of brushes to do a complete face from everything from foundation and powder to detailed eye makeup. I definitely will be bringing this on my next overnight excursion and will keep this in my overnight bag. Much more convenient than having to go through my brushes I keep in my vanity. For what this is, its very useful.
