I HATE washing my makeup brushes. You're "supposed" to wash them after every use (um, what?) A good person will wash them once a week at minimum.
I do good to wash them every month.
Usually, washing involves standing at the sink forever, making sure the brushes are thoroughly scrubbed, and drying out my hand because I use my palm to agitate the bristles. My foundation brush takes the longest (even after a soak in soapy water) because the product really gets down into the brushes.
It sucks. I hate doing it. I risk infection by not keeping my brushes clean prior to every single use.
I literally do a little dance when Ipsy sends me a new brush because it means I can go EVEN LONGER in between washings.
Did I drive the point home yet?

I've seen YouTube videos for those makeup gloves you can buy at Ulta...and they look amazing BUT they're so expensive and literally a bulky glove. I have 3 draws in my bathroom space right now. THREE. And basically no space to add storage.
So I wasn't about to get something the size of a dang oven mitt.
When I was invited to trial this thing called a "Brush Egg" I jumped at the chance. It fits in the palm of my hand and will clean my brushes? Sure I'll give it a try.

LOOK AT HOW TINY
I poured some of the soap I use (kid soap with few additives) in a little bowl to put on the brushes and gave it a try.
I even have 2 identical brushes and did the first one the "old" way and then tried the brush.
Oh. My. God.
Literally half the time and effort. The little dot things help lather and scrub and then I just rubbed the bristles over the ridges. Rinse and rub again under running water.
Done. Clean. EVEN THE FOUNDATION BRUSH.
My mind is blown.

It's made of high quality silicone so it's not going to hurt your brushes. You can get it in 3 colors (the above is green)
It fits right in my makeup bag (so I can take it on my next vacation too). It may sound weird to mention this...but it didn't have a funky smell coming out of the box. You know how some things have that "processed" smell and it can get on your brushes? This didn't smell gross.
Seriously. You need this in your life. Green, Pink, or Purple...go get one!
