I have been wanting to try the new EcoBella brushes for some time and have managed to do just that last week when I purchased these two brushes. I have the EcoBella Bamboo Angled Eyeliner Brush and EcoBella Bamboo Eye Shadow Brush. These brushes are recyclable, eco friendly and completely free from animal testing. They are extremely soft and made of cruelty-free synthetic bristles called taklon. Taklon is a smooth, soft, and somewhat fragile polyester derivative. Because Taklon is synthetic, animal cruelty is not an issue. EcoBella brushes besides taklon bristles also consist of recycled aluminium ferrule and a bamboo handle. EcoBella Bamboo Eye Shadow Brush is a very versatile brush which you can use for blending, shading and highlighting. It's pretty much a multitasker. It's pretty flat and has dense bristles which (when you swipe the brush over a eye shadow) picks up just the right amount. It has no smell and is of a high quality since not a single bristle fell off while I was washing it. It also doesn't bleed any color either when you wash it or while it's drying. I would say it's particularly great at countouring.
Vec neko vrijeme sam zeljela da isprobam nove EcoBella cetkice za sminkanje i stigla sam tek prosle sedmice da ih kupim. Imam EcoBella Bamboo Angled Eyeliner cetkicu i EcoBella Bamboo Eye Shadow cetkicu. One su pogodne za recikliranje, ekoloski su proizvodi i nisu testirane na zivotinjama. Izuzetno su mekane i napravljene su od sintetickih vlakana pod imenom taklon, sto znaci da nije koristena zivotinjska dlaka. Taklon je sinteticko vlakno koje je glatki, mekani i donekle krhak derivativ poliestera. Posto je taklon sintetika, okrutnost prema zivotinjama je iskljucena. EcoBella cetkice pored taklon vlakana, imaju i reciklirani aluminijski prsten i drsku od bambusa. EcoBella Bamboo Eye Shadow Brush je jako korisna cektica koja se moze koristiti na vise nacina; blendanje, sjencenje i osvjetljavanje. Pravi je mali multitalenat. Pljosnatog je oblika i gusta je pa kada predjete njom preko sjene za oci uvijek pokupi optimalnu kolicinu. Nema mirisa i jako je kvalitetna jer jos niti jedno vlakno nije ispalo tokom pranja. Nije ni pustala boju tokom pranja, niti tokom susenja. Mislim da je mozda najbolja za konturisanje.
EcoBella Bamboo Angled Eyeliner Brush is yet another positive surprise. It's also a very dense, thick brush but is extremely precisely cut and delivers exact, clear and precise lines. Due to its density, it doesn't give the thinnest lines but you can manage it to deliver pretty much every effect possible. It's truly magnificent at making clean line along the upper lashes and it very good at applying the eye shadow right at the lower eyelashes. I like to use it for filling tmy eyebrows and does the job perfectly.
EcoBella Bamboo Angled Eyeliner Brush takodjer me ugodno iznenadila. I ona je veoma gusta ali je izuzetno precizno rezana i pravi pravilne, jasne i ciste linije. Zbog gustine nece iscrtati najtanje moguce linije ali sa njom mozete lako rukovati i postici skoro sve moguce efekte. Stvarno izuzetno oslikava preciznu liniju uz rub gornjih trepavica i jako je dobra kod nanosenja sjene uz rub donjih trepavica. Takodjer mi je dobra za popunjavanje obrva.
I am so glad to have found such affordable, high-quality brushes and will soon get the rest of them. I think they're an awesome investment since they do deliver everything they claim, they are eco-friendly and a bargain (approx 3$-8$, depending on the brush). The interesting thing regarding taklon is that apparently, they are more hygenic than real hair brushes. Natural hair has an irregular surface which traps powders, dead skin cells, bacteria and chemicals. Cleaning may not necessarily remove these particles. Because of this, regular cleaning with disinfectants is required to prevent skin irritation. Taklon lacks these surface irregularities, making it easier to clean properly. This decreases irritation. I love how well thought these priducts are but the only downside for me would be the packaging. For eco friendly brushes it's a shame they come in a plastic zip-top pouch. I would like them even more if they were only wrapped in a piece of cloth but I guess the fact that they can be reused kinda saves the day.
Bas me razveselilo sto sam pronasla tako pristupacne, jako kvalitetne cetkice za sminkanje i uskoro cu nabaviti jos neke koje mi djeluju zanimljivo. Mislim da su odlicna investicija jer zaista cine sve sto tvrde, ekoloski su prihvatljive i jako jeftine (cijena varira od 6KM do 17KM za set cetkica, mozete ih pronaci u dm-u). Kuriozitet taklona (od kojeg su napravljene) jeste da je navodno vise higijenski od cetkica napravljenih od prave dlake. Prirodna dlaka ima nepravilnu povrsinu u kojoj puder ostane zarobljen takodjer i mrtve celije, bakterije i hemikalije njihovo ciscenje ne mora nuzno to sve odstraniti. Taklon nema te povrsinske neravnine sto ga cini jednostavnijim za temeljito ocistiti, sto smanjuje mogucnost iritacije. Super mi je sto je svaki aspekt ovih cetkica promisljen a jedino sto bih eventualno zamjerila je pakovanje. Da bi bile istinski ekoloski prihvatljivi proizvodi, ne bi trebale biti upakovane u plasticnu zip-top torbicu. Bilo bi bolje da su u nekom potpuno platnenom pakovanju ali barem cinjenica da se ova plasticna torbica moze ponovo iskoristiti blago umanjuje eventualnu stetu.
