My collection of makeup brushes is admittedly ridiculous, so when it comes time to give a deep clean to my collection it can be a bit of a pain in the ass. Honestly, I tend to grab the 10 or so brushes that I use every single day and clean them, leaving the rest spot cleaned and determinedly ignored. Anyone else? Anyway, I've been wanting to try the Sephora Solid Brush Cleaner since last year when, in the midst of looking for a dupe for the beautyblender blendercleanser and found that a lot of people said that they liked this even better than the blendercleanser. Colour me intrigued! So, I finally picked this up during my Boxing Week Sephora Haul and I've really put it to the test, doing a full brush cleaning as well as using this daily to clean my beautyblender and other sponges, and I'm ready to tell you what I think!

I've always defaulted to cleaning my makeup brushes with baby shampoo. It's gentle enough that it won't damage them but does manage to get all the gunk and grossness out of them if you scrub them well enough. That's the part I don't like. I have a lot of makeup brushes, so after swirling them each around in a palm filled with baby soft long enough to get each of them clean, my skin feels like the process mutated me into some sort of lizard creature. I was definitely looking to try something else, something solid, something that was a no brainer. Thank you, internet, for giving me both of these options! 

So... Technically the Dr. Bronner's soap isn't a brush cleanser... but it is one of the best things I've ever tried for cleaning my brushes and the most comparable lower cost option that I've been able to find for the blendercleanser by beautyblender. Much like my last FACEOFF post, I want to approach this in a kind of three-pronged comparison for, I think, the best possible conclusion.
