Clean: Brush Shampoo

For years I've been using Dial Soap to clean and disinfect my brushes.  Sometimes I'd even use dish washing soap for my lip brushes because it's the only thing that cuts the sticky/greasy gunk that remains after you've applied lipstick/lipgloss.

I've tried different kinds of brush soaps out there within my years of doing makeup and none of them have really met my expectations.  They were too scented, not scented enough, the scent was bad, left a residue, made my brushes not pick up pigment, had to wash more than once to get them really clean...I can go on and on.  I eventually gave up and just stuck with Dial Soap.  And I love it, I do.  It works and cleans my brushes nicely but its not a brush soap.  It's a hand soap.

Yesterday I received a package from Clean: Brush Shampoo to try out their product.  Now, I have to be honest, I was already skeptical because I've been down this road before.  I knew this package was on its way so I let my personal brushes sit unwashed for two weeks (I clean them every week).  After 2 weeks of using them daily and letting the makeup accumulate, I went ahead and washed them with Clean.

I got both types - Olive Oil & Goats Milk

All I have to say is...Oh my...!!  I was so impressed!  Finally an actual brush shampoo that does the job and leaves my brushes feeling soft.  There are two types of shampoo, one with the main ingredient being Olive Oil and one with Goats Milk.  Now, personally I couldn't really tell the difference between the two.  Then again, what matters to me is that my brushes are clean, that a film or residue isn't left behind, picks up pigment the way it's supposed to and it smells nice.  The samples I received were Unscented which is nice for those with a sensitive nose but not to worry, there's Lemon & Lavender scented shampoo as well.  Another thing that I love is that it's Organic!  That's right, no extra fluff and gross chemicals.  Even the scents are organic oils.  Check out the ingredients:

Olive Oil:
Olive Oil, Glycerin, Palm Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Coconut Oil, Safflower oil

Goats Milk:
Glycerin, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Goat’s Milk Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Tea Tree Oil

Where can I buy this awesomeness you ask?  Clean: Brush Shampoo officially opens its online store on Monday, May 13, 2013.  Shop here and get your Brush Shampoo.  I promise, you won't be disappointed.
