retractable kabuki

I have been eyeing the retractable kabuki brush by Too Faced for a while. Ulta has it on display and I always admired how soft and dense that brush is. But at $28.50, it was a little too pricey...

This brush is sooooo soft...not even real animal hair brushes can compete! I have been wanting to phase out my old brushes and replace them with cruelty free ones for a while now, then saw this...
