The Showdown - Brush Cleaner

I did a deep cleaning of ALL my brushes today. I thought I'd do a little show down between my ol' faithful MAC Brush Cleanser and the rookie Crown Brush Make-up Brush Cleaner



MAC Brush Cleanser
235ml
$13 US
Pink in colour
Pros:
Foams
Gets brushes clean of powders
Anti-bacterial
Cons:
Doesn't work too good on emollient products like concealer, lipstick, foundation

Crown Brush Make-up Cleaner
250ml
$10 (I picked mine up for $5 at IMATS)
Green in colour (Pink on the website)
Pros:
Cheap
Anti-bacterial
Cons:
Smells strongly of alcohol (although it claims it has a vanilla scent)
Doesn't foam
Doesn't work very well on emollient products like concealer, lipstick, foundation

I really can't get over the smell of the Crown Brush cleaner. It's very strong. I think I'll stick with the MAC Brush Cleanser.

Tip: I put mine in a spray bottle, and mix in 1/3rd water, this way I can spot clean easily, and my cleaner lasts longer.

End of the night... The routine

It's been a loooooooooooooooong day, time to tear 'er down and get my beauty rest. This is what I'm currently doing...

1. Remove makeup! - Baby Oil - because I'm cheep. Cotton rounds (or Rondelles as the french side of the package says).

Quo Make-up Remover Wipes Review

I'm always on the look out for a good make-up wipe. I just can't be bothered with liquid make-up removers I have to shake and put on a cotton pad, blah blah blah. I want to pull out a tissue, wipe my face and get on with my night.

So I headed out to my favorite drugstore, Shoppers Drug Mart, and picked up these bad boys.
