Ok--has anyone here ever used cinema secrets makeup brush cleanser? Because this is junk compared to it. This is fine for cleaning full brushes I guess but lets talk about the 2 glaring issues with this cleanser: there is no spray pump to spray the brush with the cleaner, so what are your options? You just have to dip it in the bottle if its slim enough, or you have to carefully pour some on the brush. And 2, since it has no pump, it should come with a cleansing tin or something...something! Cinema Secrets comes with one or the other. A size that comes with a spray pump and a larger size like this one that comes with a cleansing tin.
Outside of those two crummy issues, this cleanser doesnt do well with gels. I use gel eyeliner and when I dip that brush I use it for in the Cinema Secrets cleanser, the gel just slips right off with a gentle wipe. It comes totally clean and quickly. It works very very well. This stuff, when I dip this brush with the gel on it it in the bottle, it does not come off. It just doesnt. All of the gel doesnt come off. I have to really rub the brush around to try and get some of the gel off. It just does not come off as it should. It this wasn't on sale and if I hadnt thrown away the box, id definitely ship this back.
This is an awesome product! its takes all of the left over oil out of the brush and your brushes are so vibrant! I would recommend this product to anyone!! Excellent!! Excellent!!
