 Travel Size Brush & Sponge Cleanser

Most Helpful Critical Review

Garbage. Glad I only got a travel size.

I have no clue why this product has 4 stars. I can only assume that either ulta bumps up the #s on its own brand, or people haven't tried literally ANYTHING else to clean their brushes. First of all, the bottle...it wouldn't spray from the time I received it. Pump moves... No product. Ok. I really... wanted to try it, so I transferred it to an empty little spray bottle I had. The first time I sprayed it, it made me cough...A LOT. It's a very strong chemical scent. I tried it a few more times and it was irritating to my throat and lungs just being in the bathroom at the sink. I would recommend not spraying it in your bathroom. Maybe try it outside if you are gonna try at all? I hoped maybe the strong chemicals meant that at least it might do something magical to clean my brushes and sponges. NOOOOOOPE. Seriously...I used it on a beauty blender, loreal sponge, real techniques sponge, and sooooo many different brushes. It left... I'd say about half of the makeup. The most obvious were brushes with white or pink bristles, or white tips. After this cleanser they still had makeup on them for sure. I then used my normal cheap Ivory soap that I've always used for cleaning sponges and brushes and POOF! Stains gone. And for waaaaaaay less money. I would consider returning this cleanser had I not thrown out the bottle. I don't even know what to do with it besides dump it down the drain. It's not good for anything.
