I have always thought of cleaning my makeup brushes as a chore, and somehow it always stays on my to-do list without getting accomplished. However, I decided it was finally time to take the plunge and make this item on my to-list a priority for 3 main reasons:
- Clear and clean skin- cleaning brushes routinely is essential for avoiding the buildup of bacteria, dirt, dead skin cells, germs, etc., which will in turn cause acne and clog your pores. Huge reason to get that cleaning on ASAP!
- Smooth application process– I’ve noticed that if I go for a long period of time without cleaning my makeup brushes, when my foundation is applied it appears, chalky, streaky, and just doesn’t look good. Another important reason to wash up!
- Brush maintenance- Your brushes will last longer and will maintain their shape better if cleaned often. They’re meant to be used and meant to be cleaned. So get to it!
Last but not least, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite Beauty Items that are still part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and happen to be super good deals! My favorite was this lash enhancing serum that elongates and thickens your lashes (although it’s a tad pricey, you get 2 bottles just for the price of 1)! Another one of my favorites is this tanning mousse set that I use twice a week. It’s the best self-tanner I’ve found, and trust me I’ve used every brand you can think of!
1: Tanning Mousse Set (must-have, use twice/week) // 2: Clarisonic (I have a similar version and love it for exfoliating) // 3: Lash Enhancing Serum (ordered + so excited to start using this!) // 4: Nars Set (such pretty colors for contouring, blush, bronzer, etc, plus it’s 50% off) // 5: Beauty Blenders (use these daily for makeup application, such a good deal for 2) // 6: MAC Makeup Brush Set (over $100 off- amazing deal for quality brushes)

Jess, it’s SO useful! And it definitely motivates me to clean my brushes more often 😉 AND it’s on sale- even more reason to get it!

Honestly cleaning my brushes by hand is just as easy, but something about not having to get all that soapy foundation water all over my hands is really appealing 😀

Devon, exactly haha! It makes it a tad easier, and the grooves on the brush get deeper into the bristles. Whatever works though 🙂
