After purchasing a refill of my beloved Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner, I realized that I never posted a review about it on my blog. It's one of my favorite brush cleaners as it's a quick way of cleaning and sanitizing your brushes without the use of water. I will still deep clean my brushes with soap and water every week or so but in between, I'll use this.
Where to Purchase: Cinema Secrets, Sephora (affiliate link)
Price: $8.00 for 2oz, $24 for 8 oz, $36 for 32 oz.
Do they test on animals?: The company does not test on animals.
Packaging: The 2oz comes in a spray bottle while the 8 oz and 32 oz come in bottles.Formula:
It's a magical blue liquid that cleans your brushes but doesn't need rinsing, dries quickly, and helps to clean and condition your brushes. It's also scented with a nice vanilla scent. There's no residue left behind so once dry, it's ready to use. This dries in less than two minutes (I timed it!). I would say if you have white haired brushes, save them for the deep clean since you may notice a slight blue tint from the brush cleaner. You can use this on both natural and synthetic hair brushes too.
A little truly goes a long way. Here's how you use it:
You will need:
Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner, a shallow dish, and a towel.
1. Pour the Brush Cleaner into a shallow dish or bowl. Tip: If you pour against the side of a brush or tube, it'll prevent spills.
2. Dip the brush tip into liquid and remove immediately
3. Wipe clean on a cloth, repeat as necessary.
4. Shape the brushes and allow to air dry before use.
I adore this, even as a consumer. If you're a makeup artist, this product is so necessary in order to maintain cleanliness with your brushes between clients. It's very much worth the investment, whether you're a makeup artist or not!
I hope you enjoyed this post, feel free to share it if you find it useful. Get thee some Cinema Secrets when you can!
Wow, that's nice! How does it compare to Parian Spirit?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so easy! I use....oh what's it called? Dr Bronner's I think - I just swish it on the bar and rinse clean.
ReplyDeleteI need this! I've heard such great things about it
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this in particular but I LOVE a brush cleaner that doesn't require drying time for my brushes! This sounds worth the money, Mai. Thanks for the review!!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many great things about this - I need it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite cleaners to use. It's so easy to use, and the dry time is good.
ReplyDeleteI like this cleaner a lot. You're right about the blue tint, though! Also, the first time I used it, I saturated the brush too much, and it didn't all come out until I washed it. So, using a light touch is key!
ReplyDeleteI totally want this. It would make cleaning brushes a breeze.
ReplyDeleteI bought this and gave it away because it had such a strong scent. I wonder if they changed that. Plus I didn't know to dip quickly. Now I do.
ReplyDeleteseriously, it's so handy that it dries so quickly
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous if you want to postpone doing a deep clean :P
ReplyDeleteSounds great!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so much easier than what I do! Wetting and dabbing and repeating...
ReplyDeleteI should try this once and for all....
ReplyDeleteI've never tried this stuff. I usually use alcohol for spot and routine cleaning and they get shampooed from time to time. I should pick some of this up and give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteI need to try this stuff
ReplyDeleteMUST try this! I'm always loving to try out new brush cleansers!
ReplyDeleteI need to try this. Someone else suggested it to me but I never got around to it.
ReplyDeleteAlways looking for the best!
