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?
First things first I put down an old towel to lay my dirty brushes on whilst I used the cleaner. I didn't want to make a mess, plus it makes it easier to take photos. As you can see, here are my dirty brushes before their clean...
The instructions on the bottle say that you just need to spray the product directly onto the entire brush covering all of the bristles. Then you wait...
I went downstairs and made a lovely cup of tea whilst I was waiting for my brushes to dry. I then came back up stairs, tea in tow to see what had happened to them. As you can see above my make-up brushes still seemed to be very much the same as they were before. However, I still had one more step to complete. 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!
