A new year is coming up and I’d like to wish you all a happy new year. As with every new year, 2011 brings much promise. One of my resolutions this year is to write in this blog and post up reviews more often in the new year. This year I’ve been slacking off and only posting about once a month (eek!) but I promise I will work on being better next year.
For now, enjoy the party, don’t drink and drive and have a good time!
I’m sure you’ve heard from The Brush Guard. They are a pack of mesh tubes to keep your brushes in to prevent fraying or “kembang” bristles. I decided to try it out and got myself the variety pack from Ryan @ sgdrugstore on LYN.
The Variety pack consists of SIX (6) different brush guards:
As I don’t have many brushes, I split the pack with my sister who has more brushes. I took the extra small, medium and large brush guards. My little ELF Kabuki fits nicely into the large one. One tip about the brush guards is that you can use them to dry your brushes upright, bristles down so that your brushes retain their shape as they dry. This tip was from Michelle Phan in one of her videos.
I guess the question is, should you get it? My answer is YES. Especially if you have lots of expensive brushes, you would want to keep them in the best condition to make it last longer. I use cheap brushes (because I mostly use my fingers) and I find these brush guards very useful to keep the shape of the bristles/hairs when my brushes are in my makeup bag.
Where to get it:
What are your tips to keeping your brushes in good condition?
