My review:
Tin sa spun ca sunt pensulicile mele preferate si ador absolut tot la ele. Nu veti vedea nicio parere negativa despre ele din partea mea. Nu stiu din ce gama sunt pensulele mele pentru ca scrie doar Da Vinci pe ele, probabil scria pe ambalaj, dar l-am aruncat de mult :(
Pret:
- intre 50-120 lei/bucata. (asa tin eu minte, poate chiar mai mult)
- cu aceasta pensula aplic eyeliner si e perfecta pentru asta
- uneori mai aplic si highlight in coltul interior al ochiului cu ea sau aplic fard pe pleoapa de jos.
- pensula pentru buze - o folosesc doar pentru asa ceva. e mai rigida si nu o pot folosi la ochi ( ca pe cea de la ELF).
- asta e pensula mea preferata dintre toate pe care le detin! o folosesc de obicei pentru aplicarea fardului in pliul pleoapei (cum n-am o pensula speciala pentru crease) si uneori pentru eyeshadow pe toata pleoapa.
- pensulica asta este extrem de moale si pufoasa! O ador. O folosesc pentru pudra.
- Contour brush - pentru asta o si folosesc. O mai folosesc si pt blush. La fel ca si cea dinainte, e foarte moale.
- pensula asta nu este din gama de make-up, ci din cea de pictura. Dar asa-i ca e perfecta pentru asta?
O puteti folosi cam la orice...:)

Si cateva sfaturi despre cum sa ne intretinem pensulele:
HOW do powder and rouge brushes loose their hair and WHY?
Daily make-up use affects not only the hair tips, but also the whole of the brush, as the powder or rouge penetrates the brush hairs. It is therefore recommended, especially in interests of hygiene, to regulary wash the brush out througly and reshape it to it’s original form.
Goat and other animal hair share the same basic structure as human hair , which is usually cared for by using mild shampoo to retain its smoothness.
For brush hair this is particularly important, as it is not protected by the natural oils produced by the hair roots.
As a result there are two key factors which affect the condition of the brush:
Powder remains collect the hair’s protective layer,whose surface texture is similar to a pine cone.
If powder is left to encrust on the brush, it can spread along the edge of the metal ferrule and, given time, to the whole of the brush head..
Both factors cause the hair to lose its smoothness, dry out and can even lead to hair breakage.
The result: the brush loses hair!
Using the brush roughly can also lead to damage if you are being too forceful when uptaking or applying make-up.
The hair can then become matted like a bird’s nest.
Our advice: Care for the brush and wash out regulary (Every 2-3 weeks). Clean the brushes under running, warm water and don’t worry about using too much. When rising the brushes use a reconditionating shampoo if possible.
After cleaning the brushes thoroughly, remove any excess water by fliking the brush with quick hand movements to ensure that as little water as possible is left in the body of the hair. A light wiping is also advisable. Finally, leave the brush to dry properly on a paper towel. Do not leave the brush on a warm surface, as this can cause the handle varish to crack.
Cared for this way the brush hair will retain elasticity and remain robust and smooth for longer.
Dupa cum vedeti au o gama fooooarte larga si nu stiu daca se gasesc toate la noi in Romania.
