CLEAN AND FRESH..

LAST NIGHT I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO WASHING ALL MY MAKE UP BRUSHES. THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE A QUICK JOB BUT FOR ME IT WASNT...

HERE THEY ALL ARE..AS YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE PRETTY DIRTY! I HAD BEEN DRY CLEANING THEM FOR A WHILE AND THIS JOB WAS WAY OVER DUE..

USE WHATEVER FACIAL CLEANSER YOU USE TO CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES. NOW I DONT REALLY USE THIS ONE A LOT, BUT I DO USE PRODUCTS FROM THE OLAY LINE DAILY SO I THOUGHT THIS CHEAPER ONE WOULD WORK JUST FINE..

BTW.. I AM DOING THIS AT THE KITCHEN SINK AND I CLEANED IT REALLY WELL AND SANITIZED IT BEFORE STARTING TO WASH MY BRUSHES.. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER AREA YOU CLEANING THEM IS EXTREMELY CLEAN..YOU USE YOUR BRUSHES ON YOUR FACE SO YOU WANT TO TAKE ANY AND ALL PRECAUTIONS TO MAKE SURE YOU DONT GET ANY BACTERIA ON THEM..

AS YOU CAN SEE I LAID OUT A CLEAN TOWEL THAT IS ROLLED UP ON ONE SIDE SO YOU CAN LAY YOUR BRUSHES DOWN AT A ANGLE WHERE THEY CAN DRY WITHOUT ANY WATER GETTING INTO THE HANDLE AREA.

I DIDNT GET A PICTURE OF ME WASHING THIS BRUSH BUT I PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOAP IN THE PALM OF MY HAND, SWIRLED THE BRUSH AROUND OVER AND OVER UNDER THE WATER TO GET THE PRODUCT OUT OF THE BRUSH..THEN RINSE THE BRUSH AS SHOWEN IN THE ABOVE PICTURE..YOU WANT TO ALWAYS HOLD THE BRUSH DOWNWARD SO THE WATER DOES NOT GO INTO THE HANDLE WHERE THE GLUE IS. IF YOU DONT HOLD IT THIS WAY, YOU WILL LOOSEN UP THE GLUE WITH THE WATER AND SOON YOUR BRUSH WILL BE FALLING APART. SOME OF MY BRUSHES I HAVE HAD FOR MANY MANY YRS AND I WOULNT HAVE THEM SO LONG IF I DIDNT TAKE CARE OF THEM..THIS IS THE MAIN WAY TO CARE FOR YOUR BRUSHES.

THEN LAY IT DOWN WITH THE HANDLE ELEVATED SO THE WATER RUNS DOWNWARDS AND NOT UPWARDS..

AS YOU CAN SEE, I GOT ALL MY BIG FACE BRUSHES CLEANED AND DRYING.

NEXT ON TO THE SMALLER BRUSHES..

AS YOU CAN SEE I TOOK ANOTHER TOWEL AND PUT IT UNDER THE MAIN TOWEL TO GIVE IT MORE ELEVATION FOR THE NEXT SET OF BRUSHES..

MY HAND WAS LOOKING LIKE A PRUNE ~ ALL SOFT AND WRINKLY BY TIME I GOT TO THIS POINT..BUT I JUST KEPT GOING..

AND FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 1 1/2 HRS I WAS DONE!

I HAVE A TOTAL OF 77 DIFFERENT BRUSHES. I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT I KNOW EACH AND EVERY BRUSH..AND I KNOW WHEN I AM MISSING ONE! THE FUNNY THING IS, I ASKED FOR MORE FROM MOM FOR CHRISTMAS! I LOVE BRUSHES..THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS..

BTW..THE HARDEST BRUSHES TO EVER CLEAN IS THE FOUNDATION BRUSHES. YOU HAVE TO KEEP CLEANING THEM OVER AND OVER TO GET ALL THAT MAKE UP OUT OF THE BRUSH!

I WILL DO A POST SOMETIME SOON OF MY FAVORITE 5 OR MAYBE 10 BRUSHES..I KNOW EVERYONE DONT HAVE AS MANY BRUSHES AS THIS AND I UNDERSTAND THAT TIMES ARE HARD AND ITS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR MANY OF US TO BE BUYING TONS OF MAKE UP BRUSHES..SO I WILL GET THAT POST DONE SOON FOR YOU ALL!

MAYBE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW DIRTY YOUR BRUSHES ARE AND GET TO CLEANING THEM..

IT FEELS REALLY REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THESE SO CLEAN!
