When I was about 16, I had a birthday sleepover party and invited an acquaintance who I was only somewhat friends with. Well, it turned out this girl’s mom worked at a Yves Saint Laurent makeup counter, and this acquaintance gifted me an amazingly gorgeous set of YSL makeup brushes. When I opened them I was all, “meh” (teens!), but when I showed them to my mom she started drooling, and I gave her a few of them and started using the rest. To this day, I am STILL using them. I use this makeup brush cleanser after being given a sample in a Birchbox. A little goes a long way and it lasts forever. I know we are all probably guilty of not washing our makeup brushes enough, but buying a product specifically for that purpose has definitely increased the frequency with which I wash them. The cleaner is $18 at Amazon and is eligible for Prime. Beautyblender Makeup Sponge and Brush Cleaner
