review: the brush guard


i got the medium and extra small


this is the medium one for face brushes


extra small for eye brushes


clean brushes to dry :)


the medium fits perfectly on mac brushes


tadah!


the proper way to dry brushes :)


likes:
-allows my brushes to dry properly - bristles down, so that the excess water wont seep down to the ferrule
-keeps my brushes clean when in storage
-keeps the bristles in brand new form
-very affordable
-locally available here: http://mybeautybasket.multiply.com

dislikes:
NONE!

overall:
these brush guards are an absolute must if you have expensive brushes. they maintain quality and my brushes honestly look brand new after every single wash. i actually keep these guards on even after drying because they protect the bristles from the dust and germs too!

would i purchase again?
i will! again and again and again!

****note****

i completely forgot to post pictures of the brushes when they were dry. i really wanted to show you guys how well they looked afterwards! same with the small brush guards for the eye brushes :) i will post them soon, so watch out for them :)

I dunno why I don't have any of these guards. Must come in super handy. Definitely will be a future purchase@

Hey Mimi,

As far as drying your brushes goes, it's great. Just don't expect for the guards to last a long time in your purse. It started to fray and fall apart within months :(.

Isn't it amazing how people can think to invent things like these. They are really very useful I love them too.

I have been looking at these for a while and I noticed people were doing give aways with these but I think it`s prob better to use when you are travelling. Seems like a bit of a pain to use them at home when they are all in a pot but I guess it keeps the shape.

Any downside to using them since you have had them for a while now?
