Cleaning My Make-Up Brushes: Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner

Welcome back!

Like most make-up enthusiasts I know that it is important to keep my brushes clean to get the most out of them. But also like most make-up enthusiasts I hate cleaning my brushes. It usually takes quite a long time to get the product off and to be honest I just get bored.

Nonetheless I thought trying a new product out and writing about it might be a fun way to do it. I'm thinking about testing out some other make-up brush cleaners so if you have any ideas please comment them down below. I'd love to try them out.

Now, for the product I am actually testing out for this post; the Sephora daily make-up brush cleaner. It's a scented spray that claims to leave your brushes spotless. Let's see shall we?

I used my old towel to brush the make-up off my brushes. Gently though, so that I didn't ruin them.

After wiping them off they did seem to be cleaner. However one thing I would say about the cleaner is that when you're cleaning brushes that have had lip products on them they take quite a lot of wiping to get off. So although the cleaner did work it took a lot of scrubbing with my towel. Therefore not really eliminating the problem of a time consuming process.

This is not the perfect make-up brush cleaner I have been looking for. Never mind- bring on the next one!
