Swirl & Sparkle

Kudos to our LA Instructor Greta who collaborated with one of our fabulous Make-Up Tonight sponsors, Swirl & Sparkle, on this gorgeous Limited Edition Brush Cleaner! The molded design was just too fancy and gorgeous that it was hard to actually bring myself to use it. I wanted everything to stay perfect! It has a fresh melon scent to it that is subtle and not overbearing at all. It’s 4oz, making it 3oz more then that of Beauty Blender which also offers a solid brush cleaner as well. The best part is those beautiful gems that become more exposed with every use. Not only are they pretty but it also creates a grit that better helps clean your brushes. On the inside of the lid there are 3 bigger gems for when you are rinsing which works really well although I don’t think they’ll stay on for a long time but I’m really hoping they do! All in all, it was definitely worth the wait. It was the most fun to use, the most practical and definitely did the job while keeping my bristles soft. A must for every makeup lover!

GLOVE LOVE

I have been waiting to try my new Sigma Express Spa Glove since receiving it last week and finally got to try it yesterday! To be honest I did have my doubts about it since I’ve tried the Bom Beauty Brush Cleaner in the past and didn’t think it was anything out of this world; It didn’t really cut down my brush cleaning time and was pretty squeaky. I must have used it like once or twice before I never reached for it again. The shape of the Sigma Express Spa Glove is what caught my eye since it’s super flexible and has a lot more patented textures for all different types of brushes. It’s easily reversible, one side of the glove is meant for face brushes and the other side for eye brushes.

Cleaning each brush took me under a minute and that’s including the time it takes to get the soap out of the brushes. The universal size is a nice touch because its pretty roomy so it isn’t uncomfortable to get your hands wet. I would highly recommend this to anyone in need of a faster more effective way to clean your brushes or just learning to clean their brushes for the first time, since this gloves makes everything so easy. Also it's priced at $25, which isn’t bad at all for a name brand product that can do all that and can also be latex free! Happy cleaning :-)
