My New Boyfriend – Dr. Bronner

Since my last post was about the Beauty Blender Solid Cleanser, and I alluded to this product, I figured this was a natural transition. Meet my new boyfriend – Dr. Bronner and his magic soap:

Excuse the gushing, but I love this stuff. This is a solid bar soap that is perfect for cleaning brushes. The Castile Bar Soap has all natural ingredients and smells amazing. The soap works up a nice, solid lather, which makes it really easy to see when all the product washes out. I especially love using this to get long-wearing, thicker foundations and concealers out of my brushes, like MAC ProLongwear or Revlon ColorStay. I had been so discouraged that the product wouldn’t come out of my brushes after I had made the investment in nice foundation brushes, so this soap really saved me.

While the above picture is a brand new brush versus a dirty one, this soap turns this brush back into the photo on the left – fluffy, clean and perfect for foundation.

The best part? This soap is only $5! I found this at Target next to the other organic/natural soaps and skincare products. It took it a while to get there, but I’m so glad it has. I’ve used this soap to clean my F80 and F86 at least once a week for a month, and it’s maybe halfway gone. It comes in several scents, but the lavender one is my favorite. Get more info about this soap on their website here.

Have you tried this soap? What’s your favorite thing to use to clean brushes?
