Before I tried using the Mac Brush Cleanser I was used to washing my make-up brushes with just a mixture of liquid hand soap and baby shampoo.  I cleaned my brushes this way every two weeks. I got tired of doing this because my brushes takes too long to dry and sometimes the face brushes has to be washed twice before I dry them out.  Another thing, the brush ferule gets wet most of time and I'm afraid it might cause my brushes to start shedding.

A few months ago, I finally decided to buy the Mac Brush Cleanser. I've used this cleanser for a couple of times during my Mac stints in Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu and I was impressed with how quick it cleans the brushes.
