Can't believe how good this stuff works!
Before I give my glowing review, I need to include somewhat of a "disclaimer." No, I did not receive this product for free or at a reduced cost (I wish!). My disclaimer is that this is the only brush cleaner I have ever used, so this may color my review for some people. For years, I have only clean...

Best brush cleaner
way better than the it brush cleaner and way more product. Tried several other products but keep going basck to this one.
I don't understand the negative reviews
I never leave reviews on Ulta, but after seeing the bad reviews on this brush cleanser, I felt that I had to say something. I absolutely love this product. I tried different ones, but I keep coming back to this one. It doesn't have a bad smell (as some reviewers said), it cleans brushes really well, but of course you should properly deep clean your brushes every week, but if you use this cleanser after every use, the deep cleaning will be much easier. My only complaint is that they are almost always out of stock!
Good cleaner
I've use this to clean my brushes and sponges about once a month and am impressed. I spray and squeeze it into the brushes and sponges then run under water. You can see the make up pouring out. My sponges look new. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend
I prefer this cleaning spray over the IT Cosmetics it last longer and clean well!
