Thursday Favourites: November 14th

Sephora Solid Clean: Solid Brush Cleaner

Happy Thursday everyone!

I think it’s almost universally true that most people hate washing their makeup brushes. It’s time-consuming and can be difficult, depending on what product you use. A few years back, someone told me the best, cheapest and easiest product to use was plain old Dove body wash — a hack I stuck to for years. Well, yes, it did a fine job of washing my brushes, there was a whole lot of downsides. The main one was it was difficult to use — I ended up making SUCH a mess every time I had to clean my brushes. On top of that, it never seemed to do any damage to my brushes, but it’s not a product meant for them — so who knows how much help and harm it was really doing.

Honestly, it made cleaning my brushes a challenge and turned it into a chore I often avoided — which, as we all know, is bad for your skin, brushes, and makeup application. After years of using this product, I’d finally had enough — so I logged onto Sephora and started doing some research.

There are legitimately endless products on Sephora’s online store meant to wash brushes — it was a little overwhelming, honestly. Not only does the Sephora line carry all sorts of products, but there’s other lines as well — and products such as those electronic brush cleaners, silicone brush cleaning pads, and more.

After reading through what felt like endless reviews, I settled on buying Sephora’s solid brush cleaner. It seemed to have the best reviews, price (it’s only $10.50!), and came with it’s own little silicone washing pad — which was a huge bonus. The idea of brush cleaner being solid was a little foreign to me, but I still decided to give it a shot.

Maybe it’s just because I spent years cleaning my brushes without the proper products, but this brush cleaner makes my life SO much easier. From the moment I started using it, I was sold. It’s incredibly easy, fast, clean, and honestly — it’s even kind of fun. This product seriously cleans your brushes in seconds, with minimal mess as it comes in a container to help keep from getting water all over your counter.

On top of that, the Argan Oil in this cleanser help to condition your brushes, which left them feeling soft and fresh. There was no residue left on my brushes whatsoever — it left them feeling good as new for the first time in years. (Plus, it’s formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates which is huge plus!)

If this sounds like the brush cleaner you’ve been needing in your life, be sure to check it out at Sephora here!

I hope you’re all having an amazing week! Just one more day left until the weekend, hang in there.

Much love,

Meredith

    This sounds like something I need to check out! I’ve always found the cleaning process messy and a bit of a headache, really. Or so it is with water-based products, anyway. I never thought of dry products but it’s genious.

    Thank you so much for sharing.

      I live near Sephora but honestly I still buy a lot of stuff from them online! Especially stuff that you don’t have to test out before you buy it in store (like this) for colour and stuff, it really helps save me a lot of trips!

    I need to check this out! While I don’t wear make-up more than 2 or 3 times a week I invested in a great brush set with birthday money this summer. I need to take care of it!
