The Brush Guard... A Review and A Giveaway! (closed)

The Brush Guard is something that I have wanted to learn more about for a while now. I had seen them mentioned by a few YouTube guru's and really wanted to learn more about them. I contacted the company and they kindly offered to send me their assorted package for me to try. I couldn't wait for them to arrive and started testing them out right away.

The Brush Guard is a stretchable, breathable tube which protects your makeup brushes:
While drying—bristles dry in perfect shape
In use—handle stays clean and grips better
In storage—no snags or squashing
On the move—perfect packing

I have been using them for several weeks now and I did have to make some changes to the way I cleanse my brushes to really maximize what the brush guard can do. I used to leave my brushes pretty wet when I washed them so as not to damage the ends of the hairs drying them on a cloth. This meant that it took FOREVER for the Brush Guard to do it's job as the guard does limit the air that can reach the bush somewhat due to standing them upright in a glass.

 I now cleanse my brushes and VERY GENTLY swirl my bushes on a dry paper towel to remove access water before a place my brush guard on and put my brush upside down in a glass to dry. This really did make a difference to the drying time, and although it still takes longer for my brushes to dry it really is worth it.

My brushes now always dry in the perfect shape, and leaving the brush guard on after drying also helps to keep my brushes dust free until I use them. I also love using them when I travel. Many times I only want to take a few brushes and don't want to pack a brush roll. The brush guard allows me to take the brushes I want, through them in my makeup bag and know that my brushes will look perfect when I take them out to use.
