I've always felt a bit icky about how I clean my makeup brushes. Usually I just rub them around the sink and I wash them, but of course, the sink gets dirty over time too. Enter stage left, a product I didn't know existed, the makeup brush cleaning pad.

This really is a great way to get your brushes clean somewhere you know there's no bacteria (though of course you'll need to wash this occasionally too.)

Personally, I didn't find the different areas to be too important or different, but the shapes helped clean the makeup brush out well. The only thing I had trouble with is that this would not stick to my wall and kept falling off. This is probably because I have tiles rather than a flat surface, so be aware of this.

Fortunately, they included a handy loop on it, so I was able to hang it onto a hook and voila! This mat is surprisingly large too, which is great if you have a bigger sink. Overall, a great mat, just wish it stuck to my wall!

Ok, so why didn't I know about these? I for years have been the girl rubbing my brushes under water with my fingertips and getting nowhere, they would still be covered in makeup.

I was really surprised at how large this mat actually is and how many different grooves and patterns are on the surface, making the cleaning of my brushes quite simple. I started with my foundation brush which came clean within a minute or so, very easy to use.

I think that this is a very clever and inexpensive way to keep my brushes cleaner and therefore useable for longer. Cleaner brushes result in less breakouts and I also won't have to buy new brushes as often, fantastic idea! I ordered this from Amazon.ca and it cost $14.99.
