I am a big fan of Cala sponges , I think they are great for applying make up so I decided to give their brushes a try .

I have to say for a mere R28.95 , I cant believe I got such an awesome product .

Buying a good make up brush can be quite tedious task sometimes as there are so many to choose from and you come across really expensive ones and then you get the cheap nasty ones that scratch your face when you use them.

This brush for me is the perfect brush its cheap its soft and has no fallout ( meaning the bristles dont fall out )
Its bristles hold the product really well and they give a smooth finish to any type of shadow whether it is a matte or shimmery finish .

I noticed there are 2 types, the bamboo one which is an eco friendly type that features a bamboo handle and has cruelty free hair which I am really happy about.

There is also a black handled range which I will post my thoughts on that as well , as I wanted to try one if each.

What I can say for sure is that I am definitely going back for more and the rest of the range .

Purchased the entire brush range from CALA last month and i am extremely happy.
Stumbled upon them at dischem at the beauty fair.
Their absolutely soft , They come in the eco friendly bamboo range as well as the normal range with long black handles.
Holds product well and distributes evenly and GREAT.
and the fall out (yes we all dread that) well , ive washes them twice so far and nothing yet!

so in love with these girls!

I have never been one of those girls who can apply eyeshadow with their fingers. I am super clumsy on a good day - and between not being able to see past my finger in the mirror and poking myself in the eye countless times, I quickly gave up on mastering this technique!

After trying many make up brushes - some good, some rubbish; I stumbled on to this little brush while shopping on takealot.com. I was trying to fill my order for free delivery and this brush was on sale. I thought: oh well, maybe I can use it as a blending brush until Real Techniques finally starts selling in South Africa. But what a good buy!

This brush is soft and fluffy - with an eco-friendly (and pretty) bamboo handle and cruelty-free bristles. Best of all, it does what it says it does - it's a perfect crease brush and blends like a dream! And after dropping it into my coffee the very first time I used it (clumsy Sunday morning) I can report that it cleans easily and dries back into shape.

5 stars for this brush - I'd recommend it to anyone. AND it's still on sale at takealot.com for only 25 bucks!

Try it, you won't be sorry :)
