Review | Brush Cleaning Egg

Hello everyone! I’m so glad my first product review from Born Pretty Store
was such a hit, a lot of lovely ladies told me that they ordered the mini
beauty blender dupe and they were super happy with it! Today I am
going to be reviewing the Brush
Cleaning Egg* which I have used a couple of times now and I’m ready
to give y’all the low down!

So this little pink rubber cleaning tool is currently on sale for $2.99! It
is usually $7.11 and they are supplied in a random colour. I think it’s inspired
by the Benefit brush cleaning glove, but much much smaller of course. The
cleaning egg is the size of my palm and it has a flat side with vertical ridges
across the majority of it. At the tip of the egg there are smaller round ridges
and at the bottom of the ‘egg’ there’s space for you to put two fingers in and
hold the tool like that. It is totally hollow on the inside and it stays put
throughout washing.

The whole purpose of this tool is to help make cleaning brushes quicker and
easier. I always preach about cleaning brushes regularly but lately I haven’t
had the time to clean all my brushes in one go, so I was hoping this would live
up to it’s purpose. I have a detailed post on how to thoroughly clean your
brushes here. 

The way I tested this out was by putting my two
magic ingredients in a small bowl, mixed with some warm water and then I slipped
the cleaning egg over two fingers on my left hand. I soaked the brush in the
solution for 10 seconds and then I started rubbing the brush against the ridges.
I was really impressed with how quickly it lathered up and how much foundation
was being removed as I washed the brush! The ridges helped to get in-between the
bristles and dislodge product much quicker than when I use my hands and it cut
the time I spent lathering the brush up in half – success!

The small circular ridges were particularly good for eye brushes and worked
very effectively, so all in all this affordable little tool is well worth
picking up. The only thing I would change is the size. I would have preferred if
I could have fitted four fingers in as I feel like this would have made the tool
even more efficient and time saving!

Rating: 8

Pros: Super affordable, fits comfortably on two
fingers, has two different textures which both work well at cleaning makeup and
dirt off brushes. The ridges allow you to get deeply into the brush, which is
harder to do with just fingers. It does speed up the process of brush washing
and my brushes have all looked a good deal cleaner than before.

Cons: I wish it were bigger in size so I could
get more brushes washed before rinsing it off!

Repurchase? Well I doubt this’ll fall apart
anytime soon, but since it has helped I would repurchase (though a bigger size
would make me even happier!).

 

You can purchase the brush cleaning egg from here and if you want 10% off use the

It’ll take around 2 weeks to get to you, but for the price and quality its well
worth it!
