We clean our brushes for two reasons: to clean old product/colors off and to get rid of the bacteria that they collect so that we don't smear that bacteria all over our face and eyes and lips. ***But clean brushes mean nothing if your makeup is dirty and harboring bacteria.***
Just like our beloved tools, our makeup can be a breeding ground for some pretty nasty bacteria such as E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus (aka "staph") and Conjunctivitis (pink eye) and can cause all sorts of infections.
Beauty So Clean is a Canadian company that seen the issues that everyone faced when sanitizing our makeup. The products contain alcohol to sanitize and disinfect, however it also contains other ingredients that ensure that it doesn't dry out our prized products. Spray the Cosmetic Sanitizer Mist, which is designed for powders and cream based products, let sit for 10 seconds and it's done. For lipsticks and lip balms, they have the Cosmetic Sanitizer Wipes which are a one-time use wipe with the same formula as the mist that you gently rub/glide over your product, let sit and done. And it will not alter the colour of your product. You can also use the wipe for pencil products, mascara wands and lip gloss wands (remember, the minute that wand has been double dipped, the entire product is contaminated. There is no saving it.)
I love this product,removes bacteria and germs on powder-based products: eyeshadows, blushers, pressed powder, bronzers, cream-based products: compact foundation, concealers, cream blush/eyeshadows.
I've heard about these sanitizer mist for a while now and didn't think i really needed it enough to go out and buy it. Fortunately, they sent this product to our office :) . This product is super handy! You just bring it around and when your make up needs a little sanitizing, you just spray it directly on your brush, lipsticks, compact powders to disinfect the product immediately. What is amazing about it is that it works really well on powder products. Usually, your skin's oil leaves a shiny film on the compact powder, whether it's eyeshadows or foundation compact. And once the oil seals in, it makes it really hard to use the product. Spraying this product instantly gets rid of that problem. Usually, i have to resort to kind of scraping the top layer off lightly. I usually bring my makeup bag and small brushes to touch up if needed and these are perfect for on the go! These are a bit pricey, but they are definitely a must have in my make up bag!
