Menda Pump for Brush Cleaner

It's a good idea but I might have gotten a bad one because it leaks

I LOVE this little pump bottle. Though I was expecting it to be a bit larger-the size turned out to function perfectly. (bout the size of a 1oz foundation liquid. Quite small really, but it is absolutely worth it.I prefer using Cinema Secrets disinfecting brush cleaner. Especially around the holidays when Im doing a TON of face & body art and my brushes (which is a multi THOUSAND dollar investment) get so gunky with cream products of ALL colors...a quick tap on the center little nob of this dispenser brings up juuuuuuust the right amount of my 'blue gold' brush cleaner to saturate any brush, which is all this cleaner requires and your brushes are like new again. The product, by design, evaporates like 99% alcohol and at $36 for 32oz, it can add up FAST when you just have some poured into a lid ...and your watching the level go down rapidly when you've not touched it..lol. It hurts. (Much like watching thee gas gauge in my 78 restored Iron Maiden (Ford 3/4 ton) in the winter months..lol) In the couple weeks I've had this little gadget, Ive seen the use of my brush cleaner be cut into 1/4ths!!! Literally!! The ONLY 'con 'i thought there might be, is larger brushes (as in VERY large) do not work optimally as they obviously dont fit in the bowl of Menda. However, I've found a couple taps on nob with the brush head saturates the larger brushes just fine! Might need to rotate the brush once or twice if its a very large one...but it gets the job done just the same. Ive had many products such as this ordered from medical supply stores over the years...they all have the same concept, but this one is PERFECT. It dispenses sparingly which is absolutely ideal. Couldnt be happier.If you are a busily working mua or artist and use a disinfecting brush cleanser...you NEED the Menda!!!

This has made the process of cleaning brushes way faster than having to use both hands cleaning them the traditional way. I also love how I don't waste cleaning solution as a tap the dispenser with the brush and it dispenses the perfect amount of solution for the brush. Before this bottle, I would put cleaning solution on a piece of bounty and swish my brush around. Although this method works to remove makeup residue, I believe you may be wasting too much product. I don't know how I've lived without this tiny bottle. It's great for traveling and to speed up the process if disinfecting brushes between clients. My ONLY complaint is that this pump is not as ideal for cleaning larger brushes i.e bronzed blush, powder blushes, etc. What I do is just carry a smaller spray bottle and spray the larger brushes. Overall, I'm extremely happy I came across this product...it has made things simpler for me.

Yes, you must have don't know how I lived without it. Very nice to have for quick daily cleaning of your eye brushes.
