I've needed a new brush cleaner for the longest time, & when I came across the Beauties Factory Brush Cleaner it was the perfect price to give it a go.
Brush cleaners are awesome for spot cleaning in between use although it should not be replaced with deep cleansing which I do not get to do as much as I'd like.. although it is quite the chore!
This bottle has an opening at the top, instead of a spray... which is ideal for me because the last brush cleaner I tried using didn't squirt so I would have to undo that every time I wanted to use it! It is easy to control how much comes out as it has a reasonable opening that ensures that it wont rush out all at once. It is easy to pour out by tipping it upside down against a paper towel or tissue, where you can run the brush over it.
This brush cleaner has a reasonable drying time, however, depending on how dense the brush is it may take longer. Like with my Real Techniques contour brush (which I use for blush), after swiping it on the paper towel it took a while as there was a lot of hair, but it is ideal for small eye brushes that need to be used for a different colour while doing your makeup.
You can see that it did a really good job of cleaning the pigment out of the brush but it does look wet.
I bought this on eBay for $9.99 with free shipping so it is worth a try!
Hope this is helpful to someone out there.

The only other brush cleanser I've heard good reviews about is the MAC one, but I bet the price tag will reflect that. I may give this a go though, I never spot clean, just give them a deep clean.

Yep I'm sure the MAC one would be good, but sometimes you don't need to spend that much money! x
DeleteI've never heard of this brush cleaner. I have one from Coastel Scents and don't mind it but it is nothing special...Although I have heard you can just clean brushes with water and soap :S not too sure how well that would work out though lol!!
ReplyDeleteThis could probably be the same as the coastal scent one you never know with those brands & repackaging.... Yeah I don't think that would do too much! But spot cleaning is good while using them coz they don't take long to dry woo. x
DeleteThis sounds good :) I am considering checking out the mac one soon, I usually just wash my brushes with baby shampoo!

May as well save some moolah! Same here but every now & then I will spot clean if I need to remove colour :) x
Deleteoh wow, i didn't know Beauties Factory have a blush cleaner! you're such a life saver, i've been using a really expensive one from the mall and it's supposed to be for make-up artist use but it's not as good as it sounds. kinda a waste of money too, good thing you introduced that brush cleaner to us, i want to try it! thanks hun :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I just ebayed brush cleaners & this popped up so I thought I'd try it for the price! I'm glad to hear that :) x
Deletethis looks like a great brush cleaner product. gosh i am so lazy about cleaning my brushes this post has just reminded me how terribly i need to do so!

Ughh I know, same here, at least with spot cleaning your brushes are still usable until you're able to wash them properly! x
DeleteI don't use anything to spot clean, though I really should! I agree deep cleansing of brushes is SUCH a chore. I do it every couple of weeks and it takes ages and so much effort :p
ReplyDeleteYou totally should, It will be good for inbetween use! When you are too lazy to deep clean :) x
