clean brushes in the shake of a kitty’s tail.
What’s an unsung hero in beauty-speak? For me, it’s an oftentimes underrated makeup (or polish!) morsel, a permanent collection product that scoots under the radar of numerous makeup lovers but regularly rocks my world. My long-running Unsung Heroes series features some of my favorites.
If you’ve been going to MBB for a while now, you might already know that my ride-or-die makeup brush cleanser has been good ol’ Dr. Bronner’s solid soap for years; however, one thing that drives me crazy and has always driven me crazy about Dr. B’s is that once you use that white bar, it never looks anywhere near as beautiful as it did when you first opened it, and it ends up looking dirty and gross in the soap dish…
The part of me that’s morphing into a lady who only wears muumuus and yells at kids on her lawn does not like this, which is why I purchased the e.l.f. solid Sponge Cleanser. It’s black, so you can’t see any dirt on it, which I adore. Plus, it works crazy well. even your jankiest brushes will sparkle quicker than you can say, “GET OFF MY LAWN.”

Ahhh!
This soap is made to clean makeup sponges like Beautyblenders and whatnot, but you can also use it on natural and synthetic fiber makeup brushes. It foams up in a hummingbird’s heartbeat, and then BAM! — cuts through whatever’s in your bristles. then it rinses out with just a few splashes of water. When I leave my brushes out to air dry, the next time I use them, they feel soft, not crunchy, and they smell kinda minty… I wonder if that has something to finish with the charcoal they added to the soap, which is expected to have anti-bacterial properties).
Hmm…
Dare I say that it works faster Dr. B’s?! ?
